42 A loss

At the light kingdom, the king was having a meeting with ministers and chiefs of army. And also the people from Magic kingdom and Ice kingdom.

" Your Majesty , we ,everyone , want an explanation and true facts about this matter. How did this happen? And how did the documents get stolen? You know the reason and that person , don't you? " , a minister asked the king in place of everyone.

" We will tell you and explain. Be patient. And let me warn you first, Don't do anything and don't get surprised. First of all, I know that you all know my daughter saved a boy a couple of days ago and he was the one who stole the documents. Second, we don't have time to get angry and feel panic in this situation. We have to try our best to win the battle - even if it's just a tie. " , The king answered patiently and gently.

A minister raised his hand and asked , " Your Majesty, it's true that we shouldn't be panic in this situation but about trying , what's the point? Those documents were our hard work and it's stolen now. We have zero percentage of winning. "

The king lost his patience and shouted angrily , " THAT'S WHY I AM TELLING YOU ALL TO WORK HARD AND TRY YOUR BEST SO THAT WE COULD MAKE IT ONE PERCENTAGE . "

" oh no, father is angry. If the ministers also got pissed by him , it won't be good. I need to stop father before things get worse. " , Mei Shu thought.

So she told the king to go back to his room and she will handle the work. The king listened to her and went back to his room.

Mei Shu's POV :

* Father will damage his health if he gets angry like this always. I don't know what to do. I don't think I can think straight anymore. This time too. This kind of betrayal. It hurts so much. I am really tired of this . I don't want to be betrayed anymore. Why does this always happen to me? *

The battle started in a few days. Both sides had losses and many thousands of soldiers died in both side. On the side of Light kingdom , even the king and Princesses joined the battle and fought against the Dark kingdom . The battle lasted for a week. The Light kingdom did their best in the battle even the dark kingdom's soldiers were shocked because of them.

In the camp of Dark Kingdom , soldiers were resting and some were eating while talking. At the same time , the Princes and generals were discussing and preparing for the next battle.

Inside the camp of Wang Zhang, there was a meeting on air. " The Light kingdom last longer than I thought . I didn't expect them to be still energetic and fight well " , said Lan Zhan and then he asked Wang Shou and Wang Zhang , " Don't you think so? "

Both of them stayed quiet and didn't say anything. " What the .. why are they keeping silent ? Are they practicing to stay muted ? " , he thought and mocked them.

" The next day will be the last day of this war. They won't last any longer. " , Wang Shou said in a serious and calm voice.

Others also didn't want to say so they just agreed with him.

In the middle of the night , everything was quiet and silent. Even the animals were silent. There was no sound under the light of the bright moon.

Shou sat down outside his camp while drinking liquor. " I wonder if the night was this quiet before. The moon is shining but I feel hopeless. Will there be a time when I can hold someone I love forever? Will there be someone who can bring me out of this bottomless pit ? I wanna change but again and again, I kept betraying ,hurting everyone I love. I am sick of this so much. Was this my destiny from the start? "

Deep in thoughts, Shou's hands were trembling. He started to cry . Tears fell down as a romance story where the second male lead was feeling miserable because male lead and female lead was united.

Shou decided to stop thinking and wiped his tears. He went back into his camp and went to sleep preparing for next miserable day.

The next day was the end of the war just as Shou said. The Light army was totally dragged down and lost miserably. The Light king , Princess , their allies and soldiers were captured alive and some died. However, the citizens were able to escape all thanks to their advanced preparations.

Once a Princess who lived in a grand castle with everything ready has become a slave and prisoner.

And the light kingdom which was once a powerful and well known kingdom has fallen to the bottom along with its pride.

Even the sky cried for them . The sky was crying all day. Instead of feeling angry and scared , Mei Shu felt worried for her citizens. " What will they do without a leader? Will they even be okay? "

She felt guilty for not being able to protect her beloved ones. Su Ying noticed Mei Shu's worried expression and she said softly to comfort Mei Shu , " Don't worry about them. They will be able to live peacefully and continue their lives. You have done your best. So don't feel guilty. This was supposed to happen. So this happened. Let's just think it like this. " Mei Shu smiled softly and nodded.

Hours went by and finally , they arrived at Dark Kingdom. The POWs could feel the stares and glares from everywhere. Everyone was staring at them with disgusted and hateful eyes.

At that time, a man ran towards them and said loudly , " The king ordered us to bring the prisoners to the castle. "

When they arrived at the castle , the glares they could feel were much more scary than before.

Ice Queen , Shikha , decided to talk with the king in place of others as she also had connection with him once.

" We lost the war and now we are in your hands. And I , the Queen of Ice kingdom , want to tell you in place of everyone that our hearts will never surrender. You may be able to capture us , but don't even dream about capturing our citizens. "

Because of what she said , everyone came back to their senses and agreed to her as well.
