Chapter 1450 “Demon City’s Incident (2)”
“Winger, Dragon Flame,” First Elder shouts, “we’re going now!”
Perhaps the bird man also sensed the deceiving nature of this battle because his eyes promptly shifted to that of panic. Without a second of delay, be bolts for the palace ground, leaving only an afterimage.
Hold on Princess, I’m coming now!
……The inner courtyard of the demon palace.
At the current moment, Di Ling Yan was holding her cheeks with both hands while sitting at the staircase and overlooking her twin brother playing away. She’s very bothered in the face when speaking to the maid next to herself: “Sister Mu Ying, how come Uncle Winger isn’t back yet? Did he leave like Mother did?”
Upon mentioning Bai Yan, the baby girl’s face plummeted even further.
Mother has been gone for so long, I miss her so much…
Mu Ying the loyal maid wanted to give her a huge hug at this troubled face but didn’t out of respect and loyalty: “Princess, please don’t worry, Winger will certainly return to us, the same as Her Highness will.”
“Ohhh~” Obviously not fully believing her words, Di Ling Yan didn’t argue and instead gathered her spirit to play. However, that’s when an anxious and hurried looking soldier came running over to report.
“Your Highness, we’ve got trouble on our hand. The bastards from the Celestial Palace are attacking us here, you must run away!”What?
Mu Ying’s face changed a greater shade of white at the terrible news.
The king had just left the palace and they’re attacking? How did they know the king is away right now?
Gritting her teeth, the maid didn’t think twice and picked up the princess in preparation to flee. She promised Bai Yan to protect the baby girl at all cost, even if that meant her own life!
Yet, fleeing wasn’t exactly in the dictionary of Di Ling Yan’s mind right now. Scanning with her big bright eyes at the surrounding area: “Where’s my father?”
“His Majesty already went to fight the enemy. Please, you must flee Princess!” The soldier cries out again, his face growing more dire by the second.
“Will Father be in danger? I want to leave with Father.” Biting her lower lip, the baby girl almost sounded pleading now.
“You must go now Ling Yan!” It’s then Di Jin Tian the little glutton steps in, pushing his twin sister away: “Sister Mu Ying, you take my sister and go now, that’s an order.”
“But Prince, you need to come too!” Mu Ying also got anxious and tried to reach out with her remaining free hand to lift the boy.
Slapping it away with his chubby fingers like a proper man does, Di Jin Tian puffs up his little chest to make himself look bigger than he was: “I am the older brother and a man so I have to protect my sister. If I escape then those bad people will find us. When they do, they will surely know of Ling Yan’s existence and not let go.”
Though the little glutton didn’t quite express his meaning in a detailed manner, it’s more than enough for Mu Ying to understand.
“I’m not leaving, I’m not leaving my brother, I’m not leaving…” Cry as she might, the baby girl simply didn’t have the strength to wrestle out of her maid’s arms. “You are a man, but I am also a woman. I am not afraid. I don’t want to leave you….” She continues to make her case to no avail.
Seeing the increasing delay, the soldier who first came to bring the message couldn’t take it anymore and urged the maid to make a decision. And sure enough, Mu Ying did and handed the crying princess over to the demon soldier’s own dismay.
“You leave with the princess first. I’ll stay behind to protect the little prince.”
Finding only a dumbfounded face from the other side, the maid roars out in order to snap the soldier out of the stupor.
“GO!!!”
Moments later, the image of the messenger was gone with his precious crying cargo in arm. There’s no doubt this individual would stake his life on the line order to ward the princess from all harm, but it’s another question on whether he could achieve such a feat with his feeble abilities….
“Prince, are you afraid?”
