"And then? And then came the current Princess Kwon."
"I have seen people starve to death on the streets while royalty ate delicacies; I have seen people with tattered clothes while royalty wore fine robes; I have also seen people die unjustly under the guillotine because of a single thought by some people. These are things that you, the flowers raised in the greenhouse, cannot see."
"So I secretly vowed that even if I couldn't completely stop these things from happening, I would never let them happen frequently."
So I—
"Stop killing with killing."
Quan Ji's voice was like a layer of hazy ice mist. Although it had a cold tone, it never made people feel too desolate. Instead, it had a refreshing and comfortable quality.
Quan Qingchi looked at Quan Ji and felt as if the girl in front of him was surrounded by a thin layer of holy light.
She was like a killing god on the battlefield, but she didn't inspire disgust or fear. Instead, people admired and revered her.
If the gods are no longer in this world, only Princess Quan can be called a god.
Quan Qingchi suddenly understood, and immediately knelt on one knee, performing the rites of a subject.
"Your subject Quan Qingchi will henceforth follow the teachings of the young lady today, and with the greatsword of glory in his hand, slay the enemy, defend the country, and protect the people of my holy nation!"
Princess Quan was finally satisfied.
"It would be best if you could come to terms with it."
"yes!"
Quan Qingchi's golden hair, bathed in the cold moonlight, was covered in a layer of silver, radiating light and vitality.
Quan Ji returned to her room, not feeling very sleepy, but she still needed to sleep.
This isn't out of greed, but rather as a precaution.
As a commander, she needs to maintain absolute clarity and rationality, and not be disturbed by any factors.
Because any decision she makes will have a huge impact on the future.
Soon, the night passed.
When she woke up in the morning, Princess Quan ordered two thousand members of the Holy Radiance Army to stay behind to guard the place.
They then gathered troops from the eight cities excluding Fengyuan City, leaving only eight squads of soldiers in the army.
Midway through, Kwon Ji received an interesting letter.
It came from Jun Chenlan.
[To Princess Quan:]
[There was a traitor in this battle, my lieutenant. Thanks for your reminder, otherwise I wouldn't have realized it was him. We didn't fight well; it was a narrow victory. The Imperial Flame Empire possesses a very strange energy that can absorb energy from the dead on the battlefield. Let me tell you about that.]
[And, after our victory, we discovered an elite force of 10,000 men secretly heading towards the battlefield between the kingdoms of Shengyao and Huoyi. My investigation revealed that the Qingquan Empire intends to assist Huoyi in eliminating Shengyao and, incidentally, wiping them out. You only need to focus on conquering Huoyi.]
I've also heard about your control over the Leo constellation. Excellent, your brilliance will one day make you impossible to ignore on this continent.
I'm about to return to China, and I'll visit you at Shengyao after I receive approval.
May the gods be with you, and may I be with you.
[A letter from Jun Chenlan.]
The handwriting here is so vigorous and powerful that it gives one the feeling that the person is right beside you, holding your hand as you write.
After reading the letter, Quan Ji pondered for a moment and chose to keep it.
It turns out that the source of the disaster predicted by the star trail was the Qingquan Empire.
And that star, so closely connected to their country, belongs to Jun Chenlan.
Thinking about it this way, fate is truly wondrous, and my friend Lan is truly reliable.
