Empress
Episode 9 - Heavenly Flowers

Day by day the better, all members of the kingdom began to accept his existence there. She was indeed a graceful and dignified princess. But sometimes he's also very chatty and a good comedian. Her jokes always managed to shake everyone's stomach.

It has been a year that Xiao Shi has been here. Time really passes by so fast. She spends her time every day like a princess, studying, learning and learning. There are many things about this world that he needs to learn. But because of his hard work education that should be completed in two years, Xiao Shi completed it in less than a year.

It was a boring education for him. There he was taught how to be polite and graceful. The behavior of a noble, how to eat right, sit right, and others. Xiao Shi had once whined to his father that he would not attend his education again in the 3rd month because it was boring. But his father made a deal with him.

His motivation to study hard is because his father said if he can walk around the kingdom when his education is finished. And that was what he was doing at the moment, today he decided to take a walk with Yuan, as usual.

"What place haven't I visited, Yuan?"

" I think it's all Princesses"

Xiao Shi swung his lips, slightly disappointed at the reply from his servant, he still wished he could visit a different place again every day. Suddenly he remembered something.

" Yuan, didn't you never take me to see the Heavenly Flower. I wanted to see it, all this time I just smelled it, but didn't know how it looked." Xiao Shi was really curious as to what the beauty of the Heavenly Flower was like.

His father always said that the flower depended on him, it was Xiao Shi's life or death that decided. It was strange to think, since when did plant life depend on the human soul? Moreover it was a flower that descended from the sky. But there are many strange things here, this world is a world of magic. Many things are done by magic, such as controlling water, making fire, bringing forth lightning. Ahh it feels like you're becoming an ironman, uh no, maybe it feels like being an avatar.

And you know something even better? He felt like the sky had not been given to mba rara anymore. Because now he can lower and hold the rain as well.

" Yuan, how? Are you gonna drive me?"

" I'm sorry princess, I can't take you there" again the reply given by Yuan disappointed her.

" But why?"

" The Heavenly Flower is heavily guarded, and only members of the kingdom can get there. If any outsider wants to see it it must be with the King's permission and with a clear purpose."

" But I'm a royal, why can't I go there"

" You can do her Princess. But since I've never been there I don't know where it is, if you really want it, you can ask the Prince for help." Xiao Shi was just a mangosteen hearing the explanation given by his servant.

" All right, let's go see brother!"

After that they continued their journey while searching for the whereabouts of one of her brothers.

Not a single brother was in sight, he had searched all the places his brother had always visited, but they were all non-existent. Where are they all, he thought. Now, there is only one place that has not been visited, namely the royal garden.

Xiao Shi stepped foot into the garden, and sure enough, all the members of the kingdom were gathered there, including the concubine and her daughter. Oh yes, you need to know that from the beginning the Concubine and her son never knew Xiao Shi's face was behind his face. At the opening of the mask, it was only attended by his core family.

" It turns out you're all here, fyuhhh I'm tired of looking for you here and there" he said,

" Shir'er, what are you looking for us? Are your streets over, why is it so fast today?" asked Prince Yan. The king who knew that his daughter was always walking around every day only smiled when he saw his son mocked his youngest brother.

" No! My streets are not finished. Is that why I'm looking for you?"

" Who are you looking for is actually a sister?" Cheng was confused by his sister.

" Whoever, I want to see the Heavenly Flower. Does anyone want to drive me?" said enthusiastically.

They were all silent, no one spoke at all. The reason is they do not know what will happen if the two are met. Will something happen out of their control, or there will be another blessing. No one can be sure of it.

" Come there" The king did not know what was going to happen. To him pleasing his daughter was his top priority.

" YESYYYY!!" Xiao Shi cheered in excitement making his sister and mother shake her head in disbelief at what he was doing.

*^*

They were currently in front of a large door made of iron. There were so many guards stationed there, they were all lined up to guard what was inside the door.

Yes, it is within that door that the Heavenly Flower is located. The fragrant aroma is more and more nose-piercing if kissed up close like this.

There was a strange rumble also felt by Xiao Shi, his heart seemed to be pounding faster, and the wing marks on his arm also felt throbbing.

What is this, what's going on?

The king was reciting a mantra, then he directed his hands towards the big door. Instantly the ground he was treading swayed violently, and grew louder. So the door opened and showed a very bright white flower. The flower has many petals, when viewed from afar the flower looks like a white rose. But no, this flower is very large, the size of this flower occurs in raflesia flowers if in the present, or maybe larger than raflesia. Only, this flower gave off a very fragrant smell.

In addition to large, and glowing, this flower also has a flower core that is black. There it looks like those big white petals are protecting its black core. The flower is also surrounded by smoke around it. The entire room also propagates the large roots that come from this flower.

She was still a flower despite her large size, but how could she have such a large creeping root like this worthy of her a tree.

"Xiao Shi's? Did you feel anything?" seeing his daughter daydreaming the King felt very worried

" I want to touch him, Dad. Can I?" he asked with a very slick face, I don't know what happened to him.

The king looked puzzled, no one had ever touched him before. No one knew if it would be dangerous to the touch or not. The king just quietly flinching, thinking hard timidly that his decision would actually harm his daughter.

Long ago the King thought until he finally nodded his head in doubt. Either this decision was correct or not, but it was as if there was an urge that he should allow his daughter to touch the flower.

Seeing the nod from his father, Xiao Shi slowly drew closer towards the flower. He touched the pure white petals hesitantly, then he closed his eyes in fear of something happening.

But nothing happened.

Silence, that's how she feels.

" Dad, mother?"

No one's saying. Xiao Shi opened his eyes and looked around. No mugkin!!! There's no one there. There was no family, no guards, not even large flowers. He was in the same room, but there was nothing, not even the big roots that had run through the walls. Everything's empty.

What the hell's going on?
