"I'm ready to fight you to the last drop of my blood. Don't even dream of having me as your wife because it will never, ever work." Princess Chu Hua said to prince Junfeng.
"Wow! I like this. I like women with a man's heart, and that's precisely what I am seeing here." Prince Junfeng teased her.
"What's her name?" King Cheng asked commander Lucifer.
"Here she is. You can ask her yourself." Commander Lucifer replied with an angry look.
"Buddy, relax. He isn't fighting you. He only asks a question. All he needs is an answer, and that's all. Why is your face looking like a monkey's face?" Commander Bengt jumped in.
"Even if he keeps asking me this question for ages, he will never get an answer from me." Commander Lucifer faced commander Bengt and replied to him.
"I can see the stubbornness in you. But believe me, you will be the first person I will kill on this battlefield." King Cheng warned Lucifer.
"Old people don't brag with young youth, better watch your tongue." Commander Lucifer challenges king Cheng.
"How dare you use such words on me!?" King Cheng said and immediately brought out his sword and pointed it at Lucifer.
King Guozhi quickly brought out his sword and pointed it at king Cheng, and said, "brother, or whatever you are to me doesn't matter now. But let me tell you this. Wake up from your dream of making my daughter your in-law. Because I want peace to reign among us doesn't mean I am a fool. Do you think threatening me will make me give you my daughter?
If you think so, then you are joking.' King Guozhi warned king Cheng.
"Well. Well. well. I can see that you are ready to join your ancestors." King Cheng said. Do you think I am still the small boy you knew before? If you think so, then you are also dreaming, buddy. We neither go with the princess today, nor we destroy the whole kingdom." King Cheng also warned king Guozhi.
Prince Junfeng, princess Fen, commander Lucifer and commander Bingwen stood at their various spots staring at the two Kings.
"Well, I can see that you both don't have something important to say. And let me remind you both," prince Junfeng said, referring to the two Kings, "don't bring your past to spoil my day." Prince Junfeng warned them.
"If you think you are taking the princess along with you, then you need to reboot your brain so that you can think well, my friend." Commander Lucifer said to prince Junfeng.
"I'm convinced that I am not the one you are talking to. And if you think you are actually talking to me, then you better rethink." Prince smirked.
"Who do you even think you are?"
Princess Chu Hua asked prince Junfeng.
"My Lady, I'm also from a royal family like you. A princess getting married to a prince is a good thing. So don't listen to them, my love." Prince Junfeng responded.
"Let thunder strike you for calling her your love." King Guozhi gestured.
"I don't have time for all these arguments.
You," prince Junfeng said, pointing at commander Lucifer, "bring one of your men and let the fight begin. Bengt! Call Bojing to come over. I want him to punch somebody's child." Prince Junfeng ordered for Bojing, the giant.
Commander Bengt went and brought Bojing. When Bojing saw the three souls standing before him who happen to be the princess, king Guozhi, and commander Lucifer, he laughed loudly and said, "my prince, am I smashing the three rabbits?"
"No.no. spare the princess, but for those two, they will decide for themselves." Prince Junfeng answered.
When king Guozhi and princess Chu Hua saw Bojing, fear gripped them, but commander Lucifer wasn't moved by Bojing's body size.
"I will fight him." Commander Lucifer said.
On hearing this, princess Chu Hua moved closer to commander Lucifer and held his left hand, and said, "Lucifer, you can't fight this man. I don't want you to be killed."
"My princess, if I don't fight him, who will?" Commander Lucifer replied as he was caring for her hand.
"Choose another warrior from our men to fight him, but not you, please." She begged him and started sobbing in tears.
King Guozhi couldn't utter a word as he stood and stared at them. He wasn't surprised to see her crying for him because he knew that commander Lucifer was a good man that no one would want to see him killed. King Guozhi thought of stopping commander Lucifer, but if he does, who will fight the giant man standing before them? Absolutely, nobody.
"If I'm going to die for this kingdom to be free from these evil men, then I am ready to do that. Moreover, I am a warrior. Warriors don't run away from fights rather than stand and fight for their people. If I run from this man and ask one of our men to fight him, do you think I will be a good leader? Our men are also human beings that have families like me. If one person must sacrifice for this kingdom to be safe, then I will be in the best position to do that." Commander Lucifer said to princess Chu Hua who was still firmly holding his hand.
Everyone stood staring at them.
Noise was coming from the Gapsin men. As they were already shouting for victory.
"But you know I can't survive without you." Princess Chu Hua said in tears.
"What do you mean by that?" Commander Lucifer asked, but deep inside him, he was ready to know why the princess always says things that she can't explain. He felt like kissing her before he died. But he wouldn't want to try it in her father's present. He doesn't care if the Gapsin will see them kissing, but his only problem is king Guozhi, he wouldn't want to embarrass him in the presence of his enemies.
"Lucifer, the truth is, I..." She was about to say something when a touch from her back interrupted her.
"Believe me, he will be fine". A voice came from her behind.
Princess Chu Hua turned to look at the person who touched her, amazingly, it was her father. She immediately left Lucifer's hand and hugged her father while she sobs in tears. King Guozhi cuddled her, but she wouldn't stop crying.
Prince Junfeng walked up to commander Lucifer and stood a few inches away from him and whispered in his ears, "I now know why the princess doesn't want to marry me. So, you have been using her behind her father's back, right?"
Commander Lucifer grew angry and jacked his neck, and he raised his right hand to blow prince Junfeng's face.
"Hey! Hey! Buddy calm down. I am not the one you will fight with. He is right there." Prince Junfeng said, pointing at Bojing.
Lucifer freed him and brought his hand down.
"Am not stupid like you. Get that into your empty skull." Commander Lucifer said.
"I don't have to worry about you because I can only see a dead man talking to me." Prince Junfeng responded.
"I don't have your time for people like you. If your man is ready, then let the fight begin." Commander Lucifer said and took a few steps back to where king Guozhi and princess Chu Hua were standing.
"Do not worry about me. I will be fine." He assured them, and then he called his assistant, commander Junjie, to come over.
Junjie came to where they were standing and bowed down in front of commander Lucifer.
"You called me," Chao said.
"Junjie, this is what you will do for me. I might not survive this, but please promise me that if I am no more, you will lead the army of this great kingdom to a higher level." Commander Lucifer said.
"Sorry, if I may ask. What's happening? Are we not fighting them together?"
Junjie asked him.
"Junjie, do you promise to be a good leader?" Commander Lucifer asked him, ignoring his question.
When princess Chu Hua heard him saying so to Junjie, she screamed out with more tears.
"No…. Don't leave me, please."
Lucifer knew that no one in his kingdom could stand and fight this tall man standing like a tree before them. He had hoped that he might win, and this was the only opportunity they had to be free from the Gapsin kingdom.
"Yes. I promise to try my best to lead this army, no matter what. I promise to keep my promise. Likewise, I won't fail you. May thunder strike me to death if I don't keep my promise." Junjie stood up and placed a sword on his chest and promised to be a good leader.
"Good. Now take the princess and the king away." Commander Lucifer ordered him.
"Yes sir." He answered and led the king and the princess back to where their army was standing. Princess Chu Hua kept sobbing as her father embraced her so tight by the side so that she wouldn't escape from him and run back to commander Lucifer.
Junjie took her horse by the rope and walked away with it from the middle of the battlefield.
Now, only commander Lucifer, king Cheng, prince Junfeng, commander Bengt, and Bojing remained in the middle of the battlefield.
"To help yourself, don't hesitate to surrender so that you won't be killed by him. And I promise you that he will set you free if only you will agree that he won.
Think wise and make the right decision." Prince Junfeng said to commander Lucifer.
"Be ready to come and take his dead body." Commander Lucifer replied and prince Junfeng laughed out loud and said, "we shall see then".
They left the two warriors, who were currently facing each other with anger. Hungry to devour each other.
"What gave you the guts to think that you can fight me?" Bojing asked commander Lucifer.
"Not everyone who looks small in your eyes that you think you can kill. No. Things are not done that way. But if that is your belief, then get ready to be disappointed. Know this and know peace."
Commander Lucifer said.
"You are just a boy. You use weapons to fight, but I will kill you with my bare hands, or I will smash you with my foot."
Bojing said to Lucifer.
"We would know who is the real warrior after the fight. Let the fight begin!"
Commander Lucifer said and drew out his sword from its scabbard.
