The Crowned Cat and The Fallen Prince

That night, long ago, as the rain soaked the ground, he should have turned away instead of foolishly waiting for her! Oh, why did he have to stubbornly wait for her? Their life was now drenched in the colours of both love and blood. That ill-fated night, he kissed her, whereas she thrust the dagger into his chest, clenching tightly the icy white jade hilt and pushing. As Shufeng watch his blood spilling, he was still more bewildered than angered. How could he possibly bear it: killed by the woman he loved? Untold confusion and fear filled his eyes when he simply asked: “Why?" She wanted Shufeng’s brother as the future emperor, and revenge for the death of her family. Crestfallen and heartbroken upon finding out she had been deceived, Emika is willing to sacrifice everything–even at the risk of loosing her human form forever–to find him, be with him and seek forgiveness. A tale packed with sword fights, lies and betrayal, lost love and redemption, court intrigue, crossing world, stolen memories and; a story of a prince fighting back to claim the throne, and a woman changing into a cat.

Part 6: A Ghastly Night, Another Missing Heart

Slowly regaining control of her thoughts, Emika saw that the man stepping over the threshold of the doorway struggled to stay steady on his legs.

"You may now leave," he told Nai Nai, who curtsied and scurried away, not before glancing back at her mistress slumped on the floor.

Taizong had taken Emika totally by surprise. He moved over to her, but when he saw on the floor the moss-in-snow jade hairpin he stepped back a pace,  and looking at her pale face, he chided: "Are you planning to die before our wedding?"

He squatted beside her and put his arms around her, her body was weak and lacklustre. "Without nourishment, how long do you think your body will last?"

She looked into his eyes, and he matched her frown for a long time before adding. "Do you not care about my feelings? Death—if that's what you want, then do carry on."
