Killer Reincarnation
Chapters 17. Lian's Secret
“Then, did anyone manage to find me here?” lian asked as she tapped on the table, the cloaked man shook his head.
“Nobody has noticed you here, Your Majesty. Only me and one of your trusted knights know.”
“So yeah? Huh.. mother always forced me to marry that stupid girl,” muttered Lian while massaging her temple, Lien Hua still faithfully listened while hiding behind a sizable flower pot.
“Your Highness, it looks like His Highness the Crown Prince is trying to find the girl.”
“Ah, the girl who can take that crystal flower huh? Has he found her?” Lian turned her head towards the cloaked man who shook his head.
“Not yet, Your Grace. So you still have a chance to get the girl first and snatch the title of Crown Prince from Your Big Brother.”
“Hm..well, keep finding out the whereabouts of the girl and also the crystal flower. And don't let anyone know I'm here. Otherwise you will be hit by the consequences!” Lian flicked her hand, the cloaked man instantly disappeared into the black fog. Lian leaned back and smiled faintly.
“Hua, after getting the girl and finishing her. I will get the title of Crown Prince and will make you my Empress.”
“Ahahaha, My dear brother. You too will die at my hands, and your fiancee will be my concubine when I become emperor.” Lian laughed wickedly.
Lien Hua who heard him instantly goosebumps, she felt strange with Lian's different attitude than usual.
'Is he really my friend Lian? He was very different and also a strange, attitude. His way of speaking, his piercing gaze, and. finishing off? He was willing to finish off the girl who could take the crystal flowers just for the sake of becoming the Crown Prince, Lian. Is this your true nature? Even dare to kill his own brother and will snatch his fiancee? Cih, you really mean it.. Crazy one! I regret thinking of you as a friend!' The annoyed and lied Lien Hua accidentally nudged the flower pot beside her and fell down, she instantly smothered her mouth while looking at Lian who turned her head towards her with her sharp gaze. Fortunately, the wall that was there blocked the lighting light and made Lien Hua and the pot he used to take shelter not too visible.
“Why can the pot fall? What's blowing in the wind? Ah you are such a fool, Zhang Lian. Where there is a wind that can blow a pot containing heavy soil. What not-don't, someone eavesdropped?” Lien stood up, she walked towards the fallen pot.
But when he got there. He saw no one but a flower pot and also spilled soil. 'I think I saw it wrong, maybe it was a cat? Or magic from a prankster.' Lian shrugged her shoulders indifferently, she returned to her seat and waited for Lien Hua.

'Say it's all a lie!! My sweet Akh Lian, liar! Sadistic and evil!' Lien Hua cursed inwardly, she sighed and glanced inside the cafeteria.
Thankfully, he ran away before being caught by Lian. 'Do I have to go there?' inwardly Lien Hua was worried, she now could not originally believe in Lian after seeing her true nature with her own eyes.
Lien Hua closed her eyes for a moment, after she opened her eyes again. Lien Hua dashed in and set her breath in front of Lian as if she had just run from afar.
“Sorry, I forgot. You are waiting for me here,” said Lien Hua panting, Lian smiled faintly.
“It's okay, I know you're busy not attending for a few days. Sit down, I want to tell you something." Lian patted the chair beside her, Lien Hua sat down while neutralizing her fast-pounding heart.
“I'm really sorry yes, I completely forgot because it was too busy. Even I returned to the dormitory in the afternoon.” Lien Hua lowered her head, her thoughts were so complicated that she herself did not understand her.
'Is my Lian back? Was that really Lian? Or just the copycat? Ah impossible, I was watching him and there was no sign of him leaving or moving from his place. So it's impossible if the person I saw was someone else.'
“Where?”
“Em.. There's a secret place I want to show you, so come with me tomorrow. I'll make a license to Professor tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow? But I have to go to class.” Lien Hua tried to find the right reason, he still did not know what the plan and strategy of Lian was.
“Not tomorrow a holiday, you can come with me right?”
'Shit, I forgot my day off tomorrow!'
Lien Hua smiled maksa. “B-alright, I also want to see snow fall tomorrow.”
“Good! We can see the snow together,” said Lian enthusiastically, Lien Hua nodded small with a sour face.
'How can I run now? Hah, it seems like I have to prepare myself tomorrow!'
----------------
'Dagger, penknife, poison, holy book, needle, kunai, that red circle, and the medicine box.' Lien Hua noticed all the items she was about to carry, she stuffed them all into the bag except for the dagger tucked in the dress she was wearing.
'Perfect, even though I heard she liked and wanted to marry me. But still, it could be that he was just imaging or maybe he knew I was eavesdropping on them from the start. So I prepared that red circle just in case, it will help me a lot in a precarious situation!' Lien Hua put on her bag, she then walked out of the dormitory.
Lien Hua looked at Lian who was already waiting for her in front of her Asramas, she sighed softly. “Lian, I told you, didn't I? You can't go to the princess' dorm! Especially if seen by someone, he could have misunderstood!” annoyed Lien Hua.
“Iya, yes. I'm sorry, but I was seen by another student, and they greeted me and told you where.” was
Lien Hua rolled her eyes lazily. “Fate to be a handsome gini,” muttered Lien Hua, Lian pulled her hand and immediately walked away while babbling.
'Oh, I guess. He must have brought his subordinates to watch over me or maybe to finish me off!' Lien Hua glanced around with a full-fledged gaze, her eyes squinting as she looked at the few cloaked people watching over them.
'Ah, they're there. But that emblem isn't it, the imperial emblem? Why would an imperial warrior be able to get here, right too! The person who came to Lian also had the same emblem, and the Zhang surname in question - Lien Hua stared at Lian who was still faithfully pulling her out of the Academy.
'Zhang Lian, prince of. empire, means. Zhang Xue also-' Lien Hua stared full of surprise, who would have thought she would be engaged to the prince of the empire.
Lian turned to look towards Lien Hua. “Hua, I want to always be able to protect you.”
