12 Asking for Allies

" You are right. I didn't think about it. ". says Mei Yan with a sigh. " I will call the other people to join hands in the war. And to discuss the tactics and strategies. ", Mei Shu says. After they finish discussing, it's already dawn. So, they took a nap for a while.

People started to work on their jobs. There were noises of talking and discussing. Mei Shu gets out of her bed and walks into the kitchen to eat something. There, she met Shou. Shou was eating breakfast. Shou saw Mei when he turned around. He smiled at her and asked if she had a good sleep the night before. Mei Shu answered him with a smile saying she had a great night. Then she asked a servant to make breakfast for her. Shou left and went outside. Mei Shu continued her breakfast and after breakfast, she went to the training area { Military training } to check out the situation. She was relieved to see that everyone is doing well.

When she was on her petrol, a servant came and informed that the guests have arrived. Mei Shu quickly went to the main hall to greet them.

When she arrived, everyone has taken their seats and places. Mei Shu bowed as a greeting and she sat down on her seat. " My deep apologies for arriving late. ", Mei Shu apologized to the guests. " No need to be formal, Your Highness, right? " someone said out of blue. Mei Shu was surprised and after a second, she smiled at the person and said, " Well, I still need to be formal with my seniors after all. You are different as you are my friend, Su Ying. "

" Just a joke. Just a joke.", Su Ying says with a chuckle.

# Su Ying is the Princess of Magic kingdom and Mei Shu's best friend. #

" So back to our conversation, I think you all know the reason why I invited all of you here. Yes, it's to discuss the coming war. And before we start first, I will introduce some people to you all as there are new people to this area { Military }. The person who is at the top left is my best friend, Su Ying, Princess of Magic kingdom. She knows much about battles and also has experienced so she can help us with it. She will work together with my older sister, Mei Yan. As speaking of Sister Yan, she is over there beside my father. Now, here is our country's best soldier, Ming Xia. Although she is a girl, please don't underestimate her. She can fight well and she is brave. She is the second person to get approved by my sister. She will be the general of the main army so she is necessarily needed here.

And this is Ye Min. He is the first soldier to be approved by my sister. Although he is more experienced in the military than Xia, he is currently investigating the case of a new poison that was happened two days ago. That's why he is unable to spend time in the discussion anymore. Ye Min, you can go now. ", Mei Shu cut her conversation and told Ye Min.

After Ye Min left, she continued her conversation, " This war will decide our future, the kingdom's future, and our citizens' future especially our light kingdom. I just want your help in this war. If we lose the war somehow, then you don't need to help us anymore. But the choice depends on you. I won't force anyone to join hands with us. There's no need to feel bad. Think about your kingdom and citizens. You might all have thought about the consequences if we lose the war by any chance. So.. ", Mei Shu stopped saying and glanced at everyone. Everyone looked worried and their faces were saying that they don't want to help.
