Clang! The sound of metal clashing against each other echoed in the entirety of the garden. Prince Ling and Prince Jin's iron swords collided. The sharp blades tremble as both parties apply force on it. No one wants to give in, no one wants to admit defeat. Unfortunately, Ling seems to be at the disadvantage here. He barely keeps up with Jin's overwhelming strength.This isn't something that would surprise the citizens of the Earth Kingdom though. They all know that Prince Jin works hard and does his best in every training he has. May it be in swordsmanship, developing his prowess, even in literature and music. He's the type of typical prince who keeps up with society's expectations. A lot of women dream of him too but he doesn't entertain anyone of them. He's too focused on developing himself to do so. Prince Jin is basically the total opposite of his cousin. On the other hand, Prince Ling, as we all know, is just fooling around. He doesn't bother traini

While Prince Ling barged into his parents' hall to have a word with his father; and her majesty locked herself up in their room; also Prince Jin walking away from the scene, Yang and Aloisa remained in the garden.Her highness feels like Ling needs privacy with his father so she didn't come with him and stayed with his subordinate instead.Yang is helping the other servants clean and restore the garden as close as what it used to look like as possible.Looking at the damage caused by the duel of the two princes, Aloisa recalled the root cause of their fighting. It has something to do with the throne."Yang..." Princess Aloisa called out. "If it's not too personal, who is the gentleman that Ling fought?"Truth to be told, Aloisa is putting herself into Prince Ling's shoes. If ever she's a titled crown prince and then turns out she won't be able to inherit the position, she would be upset too. Just who is this man

It's been two days since Princess Aloisa left the Earth Kingdom. After the crown prince asked her to come with him for a mission, she immediately head back home to ask for her mother's permission to go with Prince Ling's Journey that's bound to the Fire Kingdom.Once again, she headed straight to her mother who's most probably in the king's hall again. She knocked thrice on the huge door before her. Not too hard but enough for the person inside to hear."Your majesty." She called behind the door. "I have returned. And I have something to tell you."It didn't take too long for her to hear the queen's voice. "Come in, my child. I have been waiting for you."Princess Aloisa pushed the door open and sees her mother sitting at the same place where she last saw her. Leisurely crossing her slender legs on the throne with a long-stemmed churchwarden pipe on her long and delicate fingers. She's smoking again. The queen only smokes when there's something that is maki

"Are we still far from their Capital?" Prince Ling stretches his body upwards as soon as he set his foot on the grassy ground.Apparently, Prince Ling, Aloisa, Yang, and Master Lian successfully entered the Fire Kingdom without any problems. The guards that are stationed in their borders were well-informed and are expecting their arrival. Even though they are technically in the northern lands, they are still far from the capital where the palace of the Fire Immortal is located. "Yes, your highness." The coachman answered politely. "If there would be no obstruction in our way, we will get there before the sun sets." "Alright. Let's get going then." Aloisa, who just got out of the horse carriage, steps her foot back to the vehicle. Her highness was the last one to get out of the carriage. All of them are enjoying the gentle breeze but Princess Aloisa seemed to be the only one who is not appreciating it. She's about to get inside but stopped halfway when the prince c

When Master Lian sees Yang gathering his spiritual energy on his palms, creating a faint green light, she's quick to tell him, "There is no need for you to heal his highness. Don't waste your energy over something that isn't needed.""B-but..." But Prince Ling is unconscious... after Master Lian hits him on his nape.He wants to protest but he's afraid that this swordmaster would send him to sleep as well. And so he didn't say anything and just retracted his ball of warm green light."He is just asleep and is fine." She assured.Master Lian understands his worries about the prince's condition. He is his highness' loyal servant after all. It would surprise her if he doesn't care for the crown prince. But he needs to know that his highness' isn't in a life and death situation and there is no need for him to go to such extent.Apparently, Master Lian successfully got these two out of the raging fire in the woods, and they are now inside the horse carriage
