The Kingdom of Fu Xiang was so confident of being able to lord over the Kingdom of Hua Xia. They never expected Hua Xia to be such a challenging enemy.Farr away in the capital city, Ruan Quer didn’t realize her ambassador had already been beheaded, and the Kingdom of Hua Xia had already begun preparing for war.
When the Fu Xiang men brought back the head of the ambassador to the capital city, Ruan Quer’s face blanched at the sight of that bloody head, as rage burned in her eyes.
“That Kingdom of Hua Xia is still just a bunch of boors. They had the audacity to kill one of our men.” Ruan Quer’s hands trembled in anger. Killing an ambassador was as good as declaring war against them. They thought they could easily dominate the Kingdom of Hua Xia and never expected things to escalate so far.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRuan Quer promptly sought the Emperor of Fu Xiang.
After hearing the news, the Emperor frowned as anger washed over his face.
“Your Majesty, How can we tolerate such unreasonable behavior by the Kingdom of Hua Xia?” Ruan Quer asked.
The Emperor mulled over the situation with a grave expression before narrowing his eyes. “Since the people in the Free Valley have acted so impudently, there is no need for us to negotiate with them any further. We had not directly invaded the Free Valley as we did not want to upset our citizens and the neighboring nations. But now, they are the ones who have provoked us and there is no need for us to hold back any longer. Pass down my decree to mobilize our military forces. We will declare war against the Kingdom of Hua Xia in a fortnight!”
Ruan Quer’s eyes lit up at his pronouncement. A barely discernible smile played at the corners of her lips.
The Fu Xiang Emperor had always been very concerned over how his citizens regarded him. He governed through benevolence and never made a wrong move. The citizens would have been displeased if they had attacked Hua Xia for no good reason. But now… they had a righteous reason to do so.
“Your Majesty, I am a woman and cannot command those generals. Why not…” Ruan Quer brushed her little finger across the Emperor’s chest.
The Emperor said, “I will make the official announcement tomorrow. You just pass on the message for now.”
Satisfied, Ruan Quer immediately went to make the preparations. She had already dismissed that Kingdom of Hua Xia as a bunch of unworthy scum.
Quickly, a startling news was spread across the entire Kingdom of Fu Xiang.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe poisoned Emperor had finally awoken from his coma, but was met with some obstacles in pursuing princess Mai Ya. She had fled to the notoriously savage Free Valley and Fu Xiang had sent an ambassador to negotiate with that territory in goodwill. The Emperor did not wish to take Mai Ya’s life but just wanted to seek her out to explain her actions.
The Emperor’s benevolence greatly moved the people of Fu Xiang. When news of Mai Ya poisoning her father first spread, many people refused to believe that the kindhearted princess would commit such a terrible crime. But now that she had fled into the Free Valley, the citizens felt somewhat unnerved.
What kind of place was this Free Valley?
This was a territory full of the most vicious and violent criminals. For Mai Ya to flee to such a place, she must be guilty. Otherwise, why did she not clarify things with the Emperor?
The murderous pursuit of Mai Ya had been carried in secret and the Fu Xiang citizens did not understand the truth. Ignorant, the Emperor’s announcements completely swayed them and they started to hate that evil Mai Ya, who tried to kill her father to usurp the throne.
When they heard the news of how their ambassador was killed after being sent to the Free Valley, the citizens rallied angrily behind the crusade against the valley.
