5 The Stars are Prettier on a Moonless Night

"Ahhh, A moonless night. Doesn't it gives you a foreboding feeling, Crown Prince?". "Qi Lei, it depends on how you perceive it. For instance, because there is no moon you get to appreciate the beauty of the stars more. How you perceive the situation you're in, it's all up to you".

Inside the tent, in a camp built in a forest located in the borders of Kou, Zhen Mei suddenly appeared out of thin air. In there, Zhen Mei saw her brothers and some of their soldiers with their hands tied. "Second brother An Kun! I am so glad to see you alive!". Zhen Mei frantically runs to her brother and hugs him. An Kun startled by her presence, angrily but softly replied "Why have you come!? Are you crazy! You are no match for them! You are a girl! We don't know what they might do to you! Leave immediately!". Tears fell from the smiling young girl's eyes and she whispered "Spell Break". The seal on the young girl's body shined and turned into wisps. Her second brother's eyes widened in shock and burst into tears. "STOP THIS! PLEASE! ARE YOU CRAZY! STOP THIS! NO!! NOBODY WANTED THIS!", An Kun desperately cried. "Thank you. I am already very happy with my life. Please take care of everyone for me". Those are the last words An Kun heard from his smiling little sister. Each of the wisps started to fly towards the owner of the name and disappeared without a trace.

The two men standing on a higher ground than the camp saw the beauty of the wisps that were like stars that fell from the sky. "Qi Lei, falling stars are truly so beautiful on a moonless night but I didn't know that they would appear in our camp". Qi Lei threatened by his crown prince's sarcastic remark dashed into the camp. A frantic soldier started to scream "INTRUDERS!" and the soldiers went into frenzy. "My lord! Forgive me! We! There was, there were ghosts that flew". A panicking soldier kneeled in front of Qi Lei. "Your Highness! I believe a high ranking magic was used to teleport them.", Qi Lei immediately kneeled and reported to the crown prince. "For my best friend Qi Lei to suddenly call me your highness instead of crown prince, no need to say that you know what happened was very disappointing and a disgrace. Whose head should we use as an example so that such a thing will never happen again?", the young crown prince menacingly threatened.

"Please don't kill anyone! Everything was my fault!". The young girl emerged from the shadows and started to bow. "Hong Zhen Mei greets you crown prince of Shi". The young crown prince smiled and sardonically replied "Thank you for showing yourself voluntarily. Ah yes. I saw it with my own two eyes. The lights were very enchanting. But not because it was very enchanting means what happened was very amusing, young lady".

On a moonless night, the young lady and the young crown prince finally met. Will that fateful meeting bring fortune or disaster between the two countries? Well, that depends on the course of action the two will take.
