Defeat is not the end of everything. At least, that's what Constantine learned throughout his life.


Constantine knew, moments like this, would surely come at last, because the wheel of life kept turning.


The Anming Kingdom was a successful kingdom with its military. Everyone understood, although the number of knights in Anming was nothing compared to other kingdoms, yet they were truly undeniable and invincible.


During this time, Anming has been successful in many aspects of the field. However, now is the time for the kingdom to lose its prestige. The blessing that is said to come from the immortal witches hundreds or even thousands of years ago, now seems to lose its glory.


But losing does not mean giving up. As long as the determination is still burning, hope will come with it.


Constantine Yang was convinced that, one day, he could reclaim his kingdom and the independence of his people. Because he's Constantine, which means constancy. He will be as strong as his proud name. He would not disappoint Irene, his mother, who had given him that name.


"Do the spirit contract? How come?" asked Jingguo Li slowly. The old man looked at Constantine with astonished eyes.


At this time, Constantine and his entourage were on their way home. On the flanks of the line, there were also imperial knights presented to watch over them.


"General Chen," Constantine answered briefly, but Jingguo Li understood it immediately.


"How come? Shouldn't ..—"


The Great General did not continue his words. He was confused about what sentence he should use. Constantine who understood that explained.


"That's the promise."


"She really loves you" explains Jingguo. He breathed heavily and long. He saw the girl inside. "I didn't expect him to leave so soon and in this way" he continued.


Jingguo Li panned to the sky while continuing to slowly spur his horse. The man pulled both corners of his lips. He smiled weakly. In fact, he himself did not believe that this was the end.


"Who believes it's me?"


"Really! I'm not like that passionate teacher of mine. You become someone else. Ah— so unpleasant! Great General Anming lost himself" Constantine sneered.


"You can't understand someone's feelings very well. General Chen Li's feelings alone, you don't understand it even though we all know it" Jingguo said.


Constantine shook his head. The interlocutor's words, it can not be denied. But that is how his weakness is. He is a very insensitive figure.


"So, does that Bajing^n often look for me because of that? Because he likes me and wants to get my attention?" ask Constantine.


Jingguo Li was speechless hearing the harsh nickname of his deputy. A moment later, he nodded and confirmed. He could see a grin that suddenly appeared on that beautiful face.


"You remind me of Irene—but you're still different. Irene was a tough and elegant figure, while you were ..—" Jingguo Li snorted when he saw the annoying face of his student.


"My side is a bitch" he said, admitting.


Constantine, then, kept staring ahead and didn't speak again until hours later. His mind floated and fell on his promise back then. From now on, he will no longer visit Irene's grave until he can reclaim his victory.


Although it is difficult, for now, inevitably Constantine who must still accept his defeat. Benar—dan to get back the victory, then he only has to accept the present while continuing to keep the embers in his conscience to never be extinguished all the time.


Win or lose, we decide. They ..., can conquer your body, but .. don't let your soul lose.
