***"Hmm. say, why do you want to marry my youngest?" the king without any emotion, asked the 3rd prince of the sun kingdom.
"Father! why waste time to this loser prince" Prince Nei said. why the heck his father asked such a useless question. of course every man likes his sister.
Juning Li trembled
"how the effin world did he get into this?!" he said at the back of his mind. he thought that by showing his courage to these people will earn him a plus point but it seem its contradicting now. the king in front looks like he wants to eat him. the prince"s beside him said just earlier that he wants to kill him and on his side, he felt a burning stare. he feels like he"s bathing on his own sweat now.
"what now? what now?" he asked in his mind panicking. he sighted deeply and after a deep thinking like his life depends on it. he said
"Because she is the loveliest and the most beautiful princess in the empire" he uttered thinking that praising the princess would ease their slowly burning emotion towards him and he though he succeeded because the expression of the king"s face got a little softer.
"So you want to marry my youngest daughter?" he asked again.
"Yes!" Prince Juning Li immediately replied.
Yes! he said again at the back of his mind
Did he succeed? can he marry the most love princess of the empire now? with this, the throne on his own kingdom will be not far from him.
"Father." the crown prince suddenly called his father like wanting to say something
but the king just raised his hand to stop him from speaking any further.
the crown price saw the smile formed at his father"s face. he and Nei looked at each other like understanding what"s gonna happen. he sighted.
"this poor prince" he and nei said on the back of their mind.
"Can you do everything for her?" the king asked
"Yes! I"ll offer my life for her if must." the third prince said with determination
"Well said" the king said and Juning Li thought that he already earned the king"s trust.
the people listening is also sweating a lot, more than the third prince, they all actually don"t care even a little about him, what made them so nervous and sweating a lot is that because the youngest princess is involve, and when she"s involve in any discussion, nothing good turns out from it. just violence and blood. that is why uttering her name is the most avoided of all. a well known rule in the palace.
"I don"t need your life, but if you can kill all the comrades that came with you, that will prove that you can do anything for my daughter."
these words from the king made him trembled, not just him but also to all the officials and guards inside.
"Wha - - what?"
he may have heard it incorrectly, there is no way - -
"Nei, give him a sword" he ordered the second prince
"Gladly" Prince Nei answered back smiling.
Nei walked in front of the third prince of the sun kingdom and hold out the sword in front of him, for the prince juning li to grab
"Take it" he said still smiling at him and with trembling hands, Juning Li took the sword
"My King I - -" before he can finish the king suddenly ordered for all of his comrades to be taken inside the room
"Your comrades are here" the king said.
Prince Juning Li looked back and saw his right hand man and his trusted soldiers who travelled far and wide with him, who took care of him, protected him from harm, they were being taken to him. they all looked confused as to why they were called inside.
"My Prince?" his right hand man asked him worriedly. Prince Juning Li looked back at the eyes of the king pleadingly. no, he cannot kill his comrades.
"You said you will do everything for my daughter, once you are married to her, you will have my support, the throne of your kingdom will be yours" the king said coldly like he has already read his mind and knows all of his intention.
"Kill them" he ordered again. hearing this, his comrades understood everything. they are all nervous and worried but they trust their prince, he can"t bare to kill them - -
they were all startled when their prince swinged his sword and attacked his right hand man
"Prince!" they all yelled at him
Juning Li looked at his subordinated.
the king is right. if he can marry his daughter, he can have everything. have his revenge to his brothers and he can have everything that he wants. this subordinates of him can be replaced.
Shortly, the room was filled with screams and pleading
Blood
Blood everywhere.
He was like a mad man swinging his sword.
He decided to slaughter his comrades.
his friends.
after all the terrible things he has done. he lost his strengths when he killed everyone
he dropped the sword full of blood
his eyes has no light in it anymore.
he looked at his trembling hands full of the hateful bloods from his friends. he looked at the king smiling down at him. the prince"s on his side looked very entertained while everyone was so shock and scared because of the slaughtering.
Regret.
What has he done?
*****
"Why are you crying?" the king asked.
Juning Li slowly looked at him, he saw the king smiling

"My king I - - I" he said stuttering
"Geez, my father is just asking why you want to marry my sister and it took you forever to answer, why are you even crying, so gay" Prince Nei said that made him startled. Juning Li suddenly looked at his hands and saw it"s all clean. without a speck of dirt. he suddenly looks back and saw no one. everyone watching on the side, the officials and guards was getting confused by the reaction and action of this prince but they were shock when they saw him kneeled and banged his head on the cold and hard tiled floor three times. they can hear the loud sound every time his head banged on the floor.
after he did that, he looked up at the king with his forehead bleeding but he didn"t care at all. after realising what has happened to him. he said
"Your Highness, I promise with my royal name that I would never dare again, would try to marry your youngest daughter, I realised that someone like me would never be suited for your beautiful daughter. this lowly life is asking for your forgiveness and understanding for the actions I have shown. I will not be greedy again. I have learned my lesson. I will leave quietly back to our won kingdom and I will reflect my actions, I"m willing to accept any punishments if you wish it." Prince Juning Li said
"Just get out and don"t show your face to me again"
"If that is what you wish. I bid my Farewell and Hope for your majesty to be more prosperous and I pray for your good health." Prince Juning Li bowed his head and immediately left leaving everyone very confused by the sudden 180 degree change on his att.i.tude. but they are glad that it didn"t get any violent. but what happened to him?
"geez father. why let him go just like that? that illusion is very lenient of you" Nei said
