Chapter 13

"Now tell me why were you people fighting like that of an unhumaly manner?" Emperor inquired.

"Your majesty, that umm, we were.." Han Zhi was trying to say something but words weren't forming up in his mouth, while other three were still shocked to see him here unexpectedly.

"Let them go." Long Xu ordered the guards on which they freed their prisoners.

"All of you leave, do not let anybody enter and if even a word reached out side of what happened here then look forward for your punishment." Long Xu ordered guards and servants very strictly.

"Yes, your majesty." they did as were told but not before greeting the royalties.

"Hey, how are we going to escape from him." Han Zhi signaled his fellow fighters.

"Of course by running." Xichan signaled back stating the obvious.

"Yeah, we can't just stay here or father would give us severe punishment, given we also ditched our work." Long Xin pointed out.

"Then I am safe. I didn't ditch my work." Mika lossend his shoulders getting relaxed.

"You don't do any to begin with and for your kind information you have been abandoning your duties for about 16 years already." Han Zhi pointed leaving relaxed Mika in dismay.

"Guys I have an idea. I will ingage him with my top class acting meanwhile you guys run from here and I will meet you later after fooling him and escape." Mika shared his professionally plan with his gang.

"You sure it'll work." Xichan was in doubt with this plan.

"Of course it will, garentee it and it came from my marvelous brain. So it's rate of success is high." Mika assured them.

"Let's go with this idiot's plan, besides if she doesn't operat her brain once in a while then it will surely root." Long Xin taunted mika.

"Cough, cough." Long Xu fake caughed to get their attention. He was getting irriteted by their weird eye moments that they were doing ever since he was busy ordering the servants.

"Now it's your turn to explain yourself." Long Xu announced after getting their attention back.

'Go' Han Zhi, Xichan and Long Xin signaled Mika.

"Your majesty. These people snatched my manju and they also ate it." Mika walked up to Long Xu with his eyes little moist looking like child who got bulied and now is complaining to his parents.

"They, your majesty, they..." Mika continued with getting more teary but was cut off by the emperor.

"I saw that all." he said.

"Huh?" Mika got confushed.

"I mean I witnessed your fight from the very beginning." Long Xu cleared his confusion.

Mika jumped to Long Xu , placing both of his hands on his sholders, turned him to opposite direction and stood in front of him, hands still holding his shoulders.

"Then your majesty must know that I was wronged, they not only ate my precious but also fought with me." Mika said while looking past Long Xu to where his other gang members were escaping.

"Your majesty." Eunuch Xiao Lin tried to alert his master but how could Mika let him ruin his perfect plan, before he could utter another word he cut him off.

"Look at me, your majesty, they ruined my hairs, my makeup. Look how horrible I am looking right now." Mika showed his weak and bullied self to Long Xu with pitifull puppy dog eyes.

"You are right empress. They have really committed a horrible sin, and I will get them for you. But before that, are you alright, I mean you are not hurt anywhere, are you?" Long Xu had a concerned look on his face while he was examining Mika from top to bottom.

"Empress." Long Xu tried to get response from Mika who was zoomed out looking at back ground.

"Empress is there something behind." Long Xu tried to look back but Mika hold his head with his hands.

"No, your majesty, there is nothing there. It's just that I was so touched with your concern for me." Mika relaxed after his gand fleed from the scene.

"Of course, I will worry about you. You are my wi.." Long Xu was saying sincerely but couldn't complete his words as he was cut off in middle by Mika.

"Your majesty, I just now remembered, I need to change Long Xin's nappy. He is such a child. BBYYYYeeee." Mika ran as if an army of zombies is chasing after him.

Mika fleed leaving everyone dumbfounded. He didn't know that his three companions didn't ran away but were hiding behind bushes to eavesdrop on emperor and his wife's conversation. 'Seriously? you came up with such a impressive excuse?' every life there thought.

"Ha ha ha" Long Xu laughs "She really is something else. Trying to divert my mind in such a childish way. Even an infant would do better than her. Ha ha ha." Long Xu stops laughing. "And for the three of you, refrain from fighting and hurting her delicate body or else next you really would be punished." Long Xu had a serious look and was looking at the place where Mika had disappeared. He took few steps to get out from there "Pft, she really is an idiot." said in amused voice which was heared by everyone there.

As the three culprit heared Long Xu's warning, they flinched cause he knew thay were still there. After his departure, they came out of their hiding. "So, Long Xin you still need to get your nappy changed, huh?" Both Xichan and Han Zhi laughed like crazy, saying same thing at the same time.

"I am going to kill that shitty idiot." Long Xin shouted, his hand was grabbing his sword so hard that his knuckles turned white.

"No can do, you heared your father's warning, didn't you?" Han Zhi stops Long Xin as he was moving forward. "But seriously, it is a talant to think horrible and impossible excuses, don't you think?" Han Zhi turns to face Xichan, then looks at his nephew "I mean, even for an idiot these excuses are too much. How come she think some thing like this, that even a most stupid person won't belive on." Han Zhi laughs. "First she kills her imaginary friend and went to bid farewell to his soul and now she had to go change a 15 year old kid's nappy? From where does these excuses come from?" Han Zhi laughs even harder and fell on ground l.

"Stop laughing Han Zhi and let's go, we have to find her." Xichan lifts Han Zhi up. They went to look of her only to find her standing in the garden with a plate and mouth filed with manju. "She is such a glutton." Xichan commented.

"Hey, food monster, why are you standing here?" Han Zhi addresses Mika.

"Woahm when did you guys came? I didn't noticed." Mika grabs a bun from tray and stuff it in her mouth.

"Take that head out of your plate then you can notice someone." Xichan points at Mika's plate.

"Don't stare at them, they are mine." Mika hides the buns. "By the way, don't you think you should be kneeling in front of me and saying 'thank you' as you lick my shoes. Cause of my unmatched and professional skills of acting, you guys were saved. Now, now, go on, thank me." Mika says as his nose grew as large as Pinocchio, his face was shinning and he looked proud on himself as if he won an Impossible war.

"Professional skills, quite a heavy word for you, don't worry I'll gift you a nice dictionary so you can learn there meaning" Han Zhi was trying to control his laughs.

"You know what, I'm this empire's great general, most powerfull person here with finest soldiers and spies, met countless people, trained many, kill many but never have I ever come across someone of this level of professionalism." Xichan seriously said.

"I really feel pity on you, how does your brain even hold on to this much of idiosy. Oh.. forgive me. I forgot about that you don't possess one. As the crown prince I'll leave you unaccounted for your insolence behavior as it is not wise to beat a mentally incapable person. " Long Xin wore his piting face.

They walked up to Mika then Long Xin once again opened his mouth "And about your skills, the emperor saw through it from the very beginning and was playing along with you. He also gave us warning to not to do this again or wait for serve punishment."

After Long Xin's comment, trio walked past MIka saying "We should go now or else emperor would bury us in our study with pile of paper work."

They left the garden place leaving a dumbfounded person standing straight like a statue turned white from head to toe.
