âBrotherâ¦.â The princess quietly murmurs her word for the lifeless look in her brother was something she didnât expect or thought possible.
âHa!â Struggling to support himself, Di Cang eventually reaffirms his back after a brief moment: âBai Yan, you think just because you broke the connection between us that its enough to leave me behind? I will find you again even if I have to search the ends of the world!â
âBrother, youâ¦â
Seeing how her brotherâs about to head for the outside from out of the blue, Di Xiao Wan hastily follows suit out of worry. However, she was stopped as soon as she took a few steps. Thankfully her speed wasnât that fast, otherwise she wouldâve clashed directly into the man from behind with her clumsy nature.
âThat woman from the snake family, and this substituteâ¦â Di Cangâs mouth curved into a sinister grin, âI leave them to you for handling. Until my return, I want you to make sure they suffer until they wish they were dead!â
âUghh,â scratching her nose, the princess responds with a nod like a good girl this time.
âAnd those of my shadow guards, I never want to see them again either.â
That part about dismissing his shadow guards came as no surprise to the princess. Di Xiao Wan knew from the start thatâs bound to happen.
âAs for Fire Plume, Second Elder and State Teacherâ¦â Di Cangâs voice now sounded gloomy and frustrated, âWhen I come back with Bai Yan, she will handle them as she please!â
The one known as State Teacher was a very special person in this place. Not only does he hold a superior position to all the rest within the Demon Realm, heâs pretty much one of the few individuals who survived all the way back to the time where everything first began.
âBrother, are you going to search for Sister-in-law now?â Blinking her big curious eyes, Di Xiao Wan didnât want to be left behind while things are a mess right now. Sadly, as usual, sheâs been left behind in the next for that purplish and silvery figure was gone.
âXiao Wanâ¦â Retracting his gaze from the direction where the king has left in, State Teacher shifts his attention back to the one whom he cares for the most: âIâm sorry, I know this incident is the result of my carelessness.â
Snorting at the one whom she has always been kind to, its clear the princess still held a serious grudge by the way she ignores him and walked away.
âXiao Wanâ¦.â
Note: I donât know why but something just clicked in my head and I realized Di Xiao Wan means kings of the little clouds. I wonder why I never realized that, too much translation pinyins lately.
Falling into a slight panic upon realizing heâs in deep trouble this time, the charismatic man attempts to reach out and pull at the girlâs sleeve.
Though the act was immediately avoided with a quick step to the side, it did nevertheless stop the princess from further movement: âWhat do you have to say?â
âIâ¦.â
Despite having thousands of words in his throat in which he wants to say at this moment, he could not blurt anything out. In the end, all he could gather was a single sentence: âIâm sorryâ¦â
âThe one you wronged is not me, its my sister-in-law and nephew! I know you meant well by creating a substitute, but why didnât you watch over that person and allowed him to cause havoc in the public?â All watery in those big beautiful eyes, the flaring anger continues to burn: âSoâ¦. to punish you, I donât want to see you for the next ten years.â Dropping the explosive decision on her suiter, she then turns away without looking back for good this time.
Oh Iâm so screwed, she is really angry at me this time. Why canât she just beat me instead of ignoring meâ¦. The poor man thought, feeling guilty all over.
âState Teacher,â the first elder spoke with a slight twitch in the corner of that mouth. âThe princess is only saying all this due to her momentary anger, Iâm sure she would come around after everything calms down a bit and when the queen and prince returns safely to us.â
Making a bittersweet shake of his head, the charismatic man thought otherwise: âNo, she is for real this time, she wonât forgive me so easilyâ¦.â
âThisâ¦â the first elder became speechless. After a good moment of silence, he eventually thought of something else to say: âThe princess always listens to the queen. If you can get Her Highness to speak on your behalf then Iâm sure it will turn out well.â
Towards this one who practically kept the Demon Realm in order after the king went into dormancy, First Elder always held him in high regards, hence the reason for the suggestion. As for the second elderâ¦.
This bastard actually kept such a big mess from me, thatâs his own doing, he canât blame anyone for the consequences!
