A Blessed Daughter

Princess Yi was both revolted and pleased by his question.

Revolted because he must have been locked up in here for the last week or so to not know what had happened, and pleased because that meant that no one was helping Lady Yukio with the 'celebrations' they had set up.

"You would know if you took some time away from 'cultivation' and ventured outside. A few days ago the night sky was replaced by an iridescent glow that, according to some, is rumored to be created when communing with the Nine- just like in the prophecy."

Prince Xuegang went silent for a brief moment, pacing back and forth while trying to digest the implications of her words.

"No, that's not possible. It was just a fairytale the elders told us. Besides, the so-called 'chosen one' would only appear in times of great unrest, when our enemies would be at our door. Does it feel like that is what is happening right now? We haven't had a war since the last era."
