The Shadow Of Princess
Episode 19's

It has been two days since my meeting with Do Weiheng there has been no progress or reports from him. The troops are ready to fight I just sighed.

However, the map is still a puzzle for us. Because, the number of missing letters and also the writing is blurry makes me have to find out from the elders or other ways again.

The fight of life and death I will face once again. I might have found a way to know about Dad's death.

Or her mother's disappearance left me because of a pact that Dad made. My birth was like a disaster I did not know to be grateful or even complain.

The power I have can turn me into a terrible creature or into a man who has no power what even defending myself alone I can't.

If only I could control the power it would be able to do anything without hesitation. A power that many people expect. Instead, it turns you into a terrible creature.

I remembered something soon that time would come. If, this war is not over it will be very troublesome for me. I could have killed a lot of people.

I trembled in fear clutching tightly onto the handle of the table. I staggered around imagining myself killing every innocent person just because of my crazy thirst.

"I don't deserve to live." That was all I had in mind after I did it all. However, the shadow of my father, mother, brother Luan, and third brother made me happy. Not to mention that mother was also concubine Gong who loved me. And, did not escape Gong's uncle, the loyal Zhang Chagyi with me.

I smiled and the person who was now with me gave his helping hand that was Do Jian the man I liked. My heart was pounding fast but there was sadness in it.

"I killed her boyfriend too. Do I deserve his side. I'm just a greedy bad woman." I grinned softly laughing.

The sound of knocking on the door blew my daydream. I looked at it as it was late and late. I frowned who was knocking on my room.

"Who?" I shouted no one told me to take the yong jian sword. Closer to open the door vigilantly.

KRIEK! THE CRUTCHES!

I opened the door slowly and I almost cried out in surprise. A man was lying with his body covered with wounds on his neck and also scratches on his back.

I crouched down checking my forehead wrinkled. "Isn't he a.." I stood up screaming for the lady. "DADDY HAN!!" Dayang Han is the lady-in-waiting who takes care of the palace. She was the head ladyboy but I called her Han's lady-in-waiting more often.

Dayang Han appeared behind the walls of my room. "I'm here, sir." His words bowed. Dayang Han was surprised to see a corpse lying in front of the room door. "Grand-lord.." Show it with trembling. "Where are the bodyguards on duty?" My lady-in-waiting Han gulped roughly with a trembling voice and stammered he bowed in fear.

"Sorry sir, so Miss Yuen told the bodyguards to accompany her." My forehead frowned whether this was Yuen's plan to scare me.

"Then call the other bodyguards. I want this body taken to the Xian Mei healer's house to tell her that I told her to." Dayang Han bowed then passed looking for the bodyguards.

Before long the bodyguards appeared carrying the body away to the Xian Mei healer's house. I sighed actually what Yuen planned to overthrow me.

"From who?" I asked to appoint one of the scrolls without a name. "From one of the elders in Qia Lian Do. He said I was told to deliver it."

I'm nodding. "Get out." Yuen bowed then left but before that I sensed a strange aura surrounding her. Maybe he has black magic. I asked in my heart but because of the work that piled up so I just wanted to.

I unrolled the letter from Do Weiheng. It contained, he would bring me together with elder Qia Lian Do at his house near Tian Chen hill. The hill located east of the town of Qia Lian Do the journey to get there only takes one day of travel.

Then, I unrolled the two scrolls if this elder would not take part in the battle except for one thing. I cringed my forehead.

"Did he know who I was? And why else would he ask for an invitation to the palace? Does this have anything to do with Yuen?" My mind while massaging the throbbing temple.

GECK! GECK! GECK!

The sound of knocking on the door blew my daydream. "Who?" I shouted a man with a white mane appeared. I was surprised to see him because he brandished a sword with a pushy look.

"Li Shang!" Her screams were loud I swallowed. "Why? Why did you have to finish Yuan?" I was silent my body was shaking I gripped tightly the letter I was holding.

"Li Shang replied, don't just shut up!" I don't know why her words make me hurt. I felt anger there.

"I had to do it." Do Jian looked at me sharply. "Forced?" I breathe trying to calm down. So, during this time Do Jian did not consider me to exist and was just compassion because I was half a vampire. It's really sad that a creature that has no life resolution wants to have love.

And feeling love turns out to be facing a complicated destiny. "He tried to finish me off and I was just defending." I said softly but Do Jian did not speak my words.

Do Jian placed the tip of his sword on my neck preparing to stab it. I just sit down and smile.

"What are you fighting about, huh? Is your death in my hands or are you afraid of death?" Do Jian's breathing roared I could feel there was fear there.

"Do Jian, will finish me off Yuan come back?" My question made Do Jian angry. "SILENCE!" His loud screams made some bodyguards enter my room. They were about to snatch Do Jian but I held it.

Do Jian looked up snorting. "Look, even my bodyguards are loyal to you." I smiled more precisely at him. "Do Jian, did you forget? Or should I remind you of that incident?" Do Jian pierced my neck slowly opening up the layers of my skin that caused blood to come out.

I grimaced in pain Do Jian laughed softly. "I didn't think you could feel pain."

"Of course, because I'm human too." Do Jian screeched. "Human? You're not human. Humans never kill each other. You're a killing machine. The murderer!" The last word I heard hurt my ears.

I held his sword leaving a scratch on my hand. The guards who saw could do nothing without my orders.

"Killer? Then I'll show you what the word killer means." I drew his sword making our eyes meet. I grinned at the sound of Do Jian's heart beating sounding loud as if it was about to explode.
