Tick... tick... tick...
Scarlet, viscous liquid dripped slowly from the gleaming Sword Tip, falling onto the dark blue stone slab, shattering into overlapping remnants of flowers, blooming so resolutely...
Delicate, pale hands stubbornly gripped the blade, her body suddenly leaning forward, the Sword Tip instantly sinking into her chest. Her eyes, filled with hatred, reflected the slightly astonished azure pupils of the man holding the sword opposite her, and her lips began to curl upward as she spoke with delight.
"How... Could you really not bear to kill me?" One hand grasped the man's hand holding the sword while the other stubbornly clutched the sword's body. With another forceful push, a sharp tearing sound echoed as her entire body was pierced by the Cold Sword!
"…!" A pale and powerless smile. "I never expected to meet you again in such a scenario..."
"Qin Ge..." The man opposite spoke in a deep voice, devoid of any emotion.
"Don't call me that!" "You... cough cough!!" She coughed violently, her eyes beginning to mist over from the effort. "What right do you have to call me that?! Qi Mo! What right do you have to call me that?! If it weren't for me saving you back then, do you think you could still be standing here now?! You—!! Because I saved you, are you going to destroy my country?! Qi Mo, what kind of heart do you have...?"
"I, Qin Ge, have done many wrong things in this life... cough cough... but—" She raised her eyes seriously to look at the man before her. He was no longer the innocent boy from their youth; now he was cold and bloodthirsty. "…saving you is what I regret the most!"
The woman's smile was extremely sarcastic as she removed her hands from the man's right hand and the sword blade, her gaze lightly resting on the palace attire soaked in blood. Her body slowly began to fall backward...
In that final inverted world, a white shadow flashed in her hazy vision... Qi Mo...
"I, from the royal family of Yan Kingdom... over two thousand lives... Qi Mo, you must repay..."
Three days ago.
In the cold December, the entire Yan Kingdom was covered in heavy snow, wrapped in a silver cloak.
At the most fortified gate of the imperial city, stood a young woman wrapped in a fox fur coat, her youthful face filled with worry.
She furrowed her delicate brows, gazing at the distant camp that seemed to merge with the ground, exhaling a few puffs of warm air. "Is it true that the Yan Kingdom... cannot escape its doom?"
At that moment, a woman dressed in a green palace gown slowly approached. "Eldest Princess, it's cold on the city wall; let's go inside."
Qin Ge glanced at her, observing for a while before finally speaking with a hint of sorrow in her tone. "Yuer, you should leave the palace tonight."
The maid called Yuer immediately looked alarmed. "W-why? Eldest Princess, did I do something wrong?"
Qin Ge withdrew her gaze and pulled her hand from beneath her coat, pointing to the hundreds of black dots outside the city wall, about a thousand meters away. "That is the army of Yuan Cang Kingdom. Great Yan is on the brink of collapse. You grew up with me... how can I bear to see you lose your life because of this?"
"Eldest Princess!" Without any hesitation, Yuer knelt down, her beautiful face turning pale and purple from the biting cold wind, her expression serious. "If Eldest Princess agrees to leave with me, then I will go. If not, I am willing to share life and death with Eldest Princess!"
Qin Ge was taken aback and withdrew her hand. She had never seen such stubbornness in Yuer. But then she smiled bitterly and helped Yuer up. "I am the Eldest Princess of Great Yan and also the Crown Princess; how can I escape? Instead, you should find a good family to marry after you leave; it would fulfill my wish in this life..."
"Yuer will not leave the princess. If the princess is determined to drive Yuer away, then..." Yuer took a few steps back toward the city gate. "Yuer will take the lead!"
"Yuer!" Qin Ge called out urgently in shock. She had never known that her usually gentle maid had such a fierce spirit.
"What is the point of this?" She seemed to have exhausted all her strength, standing weakly as she looked at the enemy camp in the distance, her eyes slightly moist.
If Great Yan were to fall, as the Eldest Princess and Crown Princess, she would undoubtedly sacrifice herself for her country... This was her belief as a member of the Great Yan royal family!
