PRINCE OF DRAGONS
The Last Breath

"Commander, quickly save Lin Fei and my Son," King Song said.

Lian Bai looked around, although the battle was not yet fully completed, but the situation was already on the side of the Palace.

Lian Bai immediately went running towards Lin Fei to leave, he continued to run all the way out of the palace walls, but Lian Bai did not see Lin Fei's whereabouts, he had even entered a place that had no light.

While continuing to walk down the road, Lian Bai saw in the dimness that there were three figures who were slashing flowers, although it was a bit faint because of the dark, dark, Lian Bai was convinced that it was the three assassins who had previously chased after Lin Fei.

Without much further ado, Lian Bai immediately jumped up with the science of lightening his body, he immediately drew his sword and attacked the three assassins who were still busy destroying the flowers and the trees.

Lian Bai's appearance clearly shocked them, and the three of them were instantly attacked with a swordplay that was difficult for them to fight.

"The three of you, quickly tell me where Princess Lin Fei and the Prince are?" ask Lian Bai.

The three who managed to retreat only looked at each other, they knew that they could not possibly be able to fight against the figure of the man before them.

"We don't know," replied one of them which made Lian Bai very angry.

"Don't mess with me" said Lian Bai then he moved quickly and directly draped his sword into the neck of one of them.

"Just tell me if you don't want your head to be separated from your body" Lian Bai threatened.

The man's body trembled as the sharp sword was already stuck to the skin of his neck, it only took one movement, then it was certain that he would instantly switch nature.

Because of his fear, the killer unconsciously peed on the spot, while his two colleagues also did not dare to act.

"Sorry Commander, we really don't know where the woman went with the baby! Just as we were chasing after him, we lost track as we were distracted by the burst of fireworks in the sky," said one of those who had not dared to go against Lian Bai, who was not there, while the assassin clad in the sword did not dare to open his voice.

"Did you hurt both of them?" ask Lian Bai.

"We only hurt the woman, but the baby didn't, because the woman was protecting her baby with her body" she replied.

"The three of you must accept punishment!" lian Bai said then he beat the three of them until the three of them were unconscious.

Lian Bai immediately searched for Lin Fei back by tracing places that might be used as hiding places, but Lian Bai did not find Lin Fei's whereabouts at all.

"Your Majesty must be very angry if they are both not found," muttered Lian Bai then he immediately returned to summon some soldiers to have them take the three crippled men into custody.

Of all the assassins, only five figures had high martial arts, but they were also unable to face the five women from the Blue Flower college, although the five women were young, their martial arts were high enough that the five members of the assassin had to retreat.

After almost morning, the chaos was finally overcome, but most of the vandals managed to escape, while some were captured alive.

"Why don't we know if there's an intruder inside the palace? Who's leading them?" ask one of the soldiers.

"Be quiet! Didn't you see His Majesty being sad?" said another soldier.

King Song drowned after finding out that Lin Fei and his Son were nowhere to be found, let alone the saddest news was about Lin Fei who had been seriously injured, and from the confessions of the three assassins who were chasing him, it was highly likely that Lin Fei would not survive.

The deeply saddened and angry King Song immediately ordered Commander Lian Bai to execute the three people who had already harmed Lin Fei, and after that King Song seemed to have no spirit anymore.

"Sir, we should spread out all the soldiers to look for Lin Fei and the Prince, could also by making an announcement throughout our Royal Region so that the search is made easy," said the Empress.

"That's really the Queen! Your Highness should we immediately order the soldiers to spread out Lin Fei's quest, it's possible that he and the Prince are still around the city, if it's even far away it might be only in a few villages," yie Ling Yi said.

"Commander Lian, I leave this task to you, send all the soldiers to search for it, if today it is not found, then put up an announcement and explain if anyone who finds Princess Lin Fei and the Prince, then I will give them whatever gift they want" King Song said.

"Your Majesty."

Lian Bai immediately turned around to carry out King Song's orders, while King Song met the warriors to thank them for coming to help protect the palace.

***

On the outskirts of the sizable river, the already-powerless Lin Fei tried to release the raft bound on the riverbank.

She placed the baby down slowly then with the rest of her strength, Lin Fei pushed the tape with her feet.

The two of them ended up drifting along the stream, whereas Lin Fei lay next to her baby, with a gentle caress Lin Fei caressing her baby with flowing tears.

"I can't believe you're newborn anyone wants you dead, my son, I'm sorry, mom! I had to take you out of the palace for your survival. But you don't worry, mother will continue to protect you," Lin Fei said tearfully looking at her sleeping baby's face again.

Lin Fei herself did not understand why Yie Ling Yi wanted to kill her baby, but it was Yie Ling Yi who was impatient to want Lin Fei's child to be born quickly, but once it was born, she was already born, yie Ling Yi wanted to kill him.

Lin Fei opened her hairpin and then held the blue pinch carved into the tail of the peacock with a cry of sadness, she recalled when King Song gave her the hairpin while she was pregnant.

Lin Fei clasped the hairpin on her baby shirt and said, "If you're gone, this hairpin can be used as a clue in the future," lin Fei said then she hugged the baby.

"After this maybe you will experience a difficult life," said Lin Fei but her gaze started to blur, and her breathing also started to weaken.

Realizing that she couldn't hold on much longer, Lin Fei hugged her baby with a regret-filled cry.

"I'm sorry, son, I don't think I can keep you company any longer, promise to survive until you grow up, you'll promise me," said Lin Fei in a soft voice as well as tears that started to come to a halt.

Because the river flow was so swift, the two of them were quickly far from the palace territory, and as dusk began to show its warmth, someone suddenly threw a rope towards the raft.

Lin Fei whose consciousness was almost gone could still feel if her raft was any more interesting, but she herself was also already unable to move, her entire body was already numb, she said, even his sight was almost completely dark.

"A Woman and a Baby?"

Vaguely Lin Fei heard the voice of a woman, Lin Fei certainly could not see it, but from her voice Lin Fei was convinced that the woman had no evil intentions.

"This woman is seriously hurt! Hang on madam, I will treat you," said the voice that attempted to move Lin Fei's body to the mainland.

Lin Fei felt nothing else, she only heard the voice of the woman who wanted to help her. Since he still had a little remaining of his consciousness, Lin Fei was trying to say something to the woman.

As much as possible Lin Fei moved her lips and let out her voice, with a voice so small and soft, Lin Fei said the name of the baby.

"S.. Song..!"

The woman who was going to help Lin Fei was surprised, she saw the pale woman saying something, but her voice was too small that she could not hear it.

The woman realized that the person she wanted to help would not survive, but she understood that the woman wanted to say something at the end of her breath.

The woman brought her ears closer to hear the injured woman's words, and after she got close enough, she began to hear the injured woman's words.

"S..Song L's..Lin's..Q..Qi.y! S.. Songs..L..Lin's..Q..Qi.and."

Lin Fei exhaled after successfully mentioning her son's name three times in the rest of her last breath, whereas the Woman who wanted to save him only heard the disjointed speech repeated twice.

"Who is Yuwen?" 

A 50-year-old man came with a fishnet, while the 47-year-old woman, called Yuwen, shook her head in response to the old man's question.

"I don't know either! I saw that the raft was being carried away by the current, because I didn't see anyone controlling it, so I pulled it, I didn't think it was a woman who had been seriously injured there with the baby," his answer.

"Infant? Then where's the baby?" ask the old man.

"Owh yeah I forgot to take it," said the old woman and she immediately returned to the raft she had tied.

"This woman is dead, but unfortunately we do not know her identity" said the old man.

"Before he died he had a chance to say something that was repeated twice" the woman said.

"What did he say?" tanyakanya.

"If it's not wrong he uttered So.ng Lin Qi.an twice!" the answer.

"Song? Is it possible that he's from the Royal family?" 

The old woman noticed the clothes that were drenched in blood but had dried up, looking at her clothes alone, the woman could already judge if the dead woman was likely a person from among the nobles.

"Song Lin Qian? Did he mention the name of this baby? Look carefully, this baby boy what's a girl?" ask the man.

"It's a baby boy! Looks like he just called this baby."

The old man approached the baby boy and then he found a hairpin on his clothes. "It seems so, Song Lin Qian might be the name of this child, and she still had time to leave the item for this baby, maybe this item was deliberately left behind so that it could be a clue to this child if he managed to survive," the man said.

"We'd better bury the woman's body soon, and while we're taking care of this baby first, tomorrow I'll try to walk across the river, who knows I found a clue there," said the old man.

The old woman nodded then the two of them buried Lin Fei's body near the river after which the two brought Song Lin Qian up the Mountain.
