Commander Lucifer and his men destroyed the whole of Gapsin men. The majority were killed, and few were left wounded.
The people who were left untouched were women, children, and those that the Gapsin men had captured.
The men took pity on them because they were innocent. No one could have believed that one day, the Gapsin kingdom would be destroyed like this if you were told.
Prince Junfeng was handcuffed and taken to the Azanda kingdom under commander Lucifer's order. Prince Junfeng kept claiming that Lucifer has the power to locate princess Chu Hua unless he doesn't want to.
It began to sound like an annoying song to commander Lucifer's ears as Prince Junfeng kept repeating the same statement.
"Lock him in the cell and make sure to keep watch on him." Commander Lucifer said, "he doesn't deserve to live, but hmm…" he sighed in relief and nodded his head before leaving.
The guard took him away to the cell, where they were ordered to put him in by commander Lucifer.
It was a surprise to commander Lucifer that prince Junfeng was saying all these things. He knew the prince must be hiding something from him, or he was only fooling him.
On the other hand, prince Junfeng was also surprised how he was able to see these things through commander Lucifer's eyes. It was more to sit, he has some magical powers to foresee the real person Lucifer is.
But what amazes him the most is, how is it possible that commander Lucifer doesn't know that he can find the princess using his powers.
He wasn't even sure if Lucifer knew that he can change to any form of an animal.
King was given his herbal remedies, and he was recovering from the wounds he sustained.
Commander Lucifer stepped into the room and found king Cheng lying on his sick bed. Chao was with him all day until the men came back from the battle.
Since the day they had their battle in the Cyprus kingdom battlefield, king Cheng hasn't set eyes on his daughter, or commander Lucifer.
He wasn't able to ask about any of them either, the pain was too much for him to bear. But when he was relieved from the pain, he could mumble some words.
"Your Majesty," commander Lucifer bowed and greeted king Cheng," your servant is loyal, forgive me for being away for some days," he pleaded.
King Cheng didn't say a word, rather, he was staring at the loyal servant, as he called himself, before him.
"W-where…" King Cheng tried to speak up, but it was as if his breath were going to cease when he uttered a word.
"Take it easy, Your Majesty," Chao said, and commander Lucifer stood up and went close to him. He lowered his ears to the king's face to hear what he wanted to tell him.
"W-where is…huh! Huh!!" The king coughed heavily and water was brought for him, but he ignored it and went on," the princess?"
On hearing this, everyone already knew that that's what he was about to ask. Commander Lucifer slowly took his ears away from him, and they stared intently at each other with Chao.
Nuo, who was also in the room with them, felt more heartbroken the more. Tears escaped her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. But because they were avoiding the king knowing of her not being found, Nuo immediately cleaned her tears.
Tense filled the room.
How should we tell him this? Everyone wondered. King Cheng was getting a clue that something wasn't right from the expressions on his guards' faces.
But what could that be? That's what he doesn't want to stress himself to get an answer for.
The room was silent like there was no sign of a living thing inside it. "N-not one is answering… w-what's the matter?" His voice echoed.
"Nothing, actually," Chao chuckled, and commander Lucifer said," s-she's training in the garden, sorry, I mean she's asleep, yes, asleep," he lied.
" I w-would like to see her… when she's awake…" he spoke with a creaking voice.
" Al-alright, Your Majesty, I will let her know about it." Commander Lucifer responded with fear written all over his face.
He lied to the king so that he wouldn't get hurt anymore. He might even lose his life if care isn't taken. But how long will they keep hiding it from him?
Everyone was praying for his quick recovery, but once he recovered, all their lies will end. What might spoil their intention to lie to the king was king Qiangsheng, who might expose it to king Cheng.
A knock came on the door. Commander Yufei stepped into the room after being permitted to come in.
He walked directly to commander Lucifer and whispered in his ears, saying, "His Majesty wants to see you," and commander Lucifer was able to hear his heartbeat.
He has never been afraid or troubled like this before. Why now?
"I will be back," Commander Lucifer said to Chao, and he nodded.
" Where's the princess?" Another heart attack question echoed in his ears. Hearing that particular question was getting tiring to his ears. How he wishes, he can just end everything.
"Your Majesty, I…" "You what? Huh? I asked you to look for the princess and bring her back home, but you ended up bringing a prince into my kingdom. What use will he be of you?" His questions came out with yelling.
" Forgive me, Your Majesty, he was the cause of the Princess getting missing, and I believe that we would get important information from him." He spoke with his head bowing to the ground.
" If you knew that you would get important information from him, why didn't you do that, rather than bringing him here?" The king was so outraged to a point that he felt like smashing commander Lucifer.
" You're a…" "Father, what's the problem? I have been hearing your voice from my chamber since. Is anything the matter?" Princess Xiang's voice interrupted.
The beautiful princess of the Azanda kingdom and the only princess of her parents whom her father loved so much. Maybe, it was because of the love he has for his daughter that makes him mad at commander Lucifer for failing to bring princess Chu Hua home.
"My rose flower, nothing is the issue. We are just having some discussion" King Qiangsheng responded with a smile.
Commander Lucifer slightly raised his head and found the princess affectionately staring at him, and he quickly took his gaze away.
"Alright, father, I will be inside. Make sure to take good care of yourself," she said and turned around to leave.
"I will, my princess," another smile curved his lips.
"As for the two of you," king Qiangsheng turned to the two commanders before, "know how to find the princess before I pour my anger on you." He scorned.
"Yes, Your Majesty," they answered in chorus. "Now, leave my presence."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," they responded before taking their lives.
Where will they start?
Junfeng needs to be on this adventure! Commander Lucifer swore.
