“Miss, it’s time to return to your room and rest! You need to wake up early tomorrow.” Tian Wu’s cold voice rang out from the window, where she had been standing since Ling Zhou entered.
“Oh.” Ling Zhou reluctantly left Yu Ling’s room, noticing that Tian Wu seemed particularly serious lately. Although she was always serious, recently it seemed to have gone too far.
“Your Majesty, the miss will eventually discover the general’s true identity. Is it right to keep this from her?” Tian Wu leaned against the wall, holding her sword.
“I just don’t want to see her wavering anymore. The harm brought by her royal brother was too great. I only want to protect her.” Yu Ling dropped the casual demeanor he showed in front of Ling Zhou.
“…” Tian Wu, who had always been with Ling Zhou, saw clearly that despite her usual carefree appearance, during the time with Night Yu, her smiles were almost forcibly constructed. Many times she could hear her crying softly into her blanket, only to wake up the next day with a fearless laugh.
“Your Majesty, I entrust the miss to you from now on.”
“I will.”
He would arrange everything and then take Ling Zhou to truly live a free and unfettered life.
Yu Ling could not say a word at this moment. Yu Hen had infiltrated Night Yu at great personal risk for the development of She Yu, living each day in fear of being discovered, constantly surrounded by enemies, and having to guess the intentions of everyone he met. He had no one to speak to, unable to express the bitterness in his heart.
“You have always yearned for freedom, and now the only way I can repay you is by giving you true freedom.” Yu Hen grabbed Yu Ling’s shoulders. “From now on, you are no longer the emperor of She Yu.”
“…” Ling Zhou’s eyes welled up with tears. She did not understand Yu Hen at all, nor the pain in his heart.
“However, I will appoint you as a general.” Yu Hen suddenly changed the melancholic atmosphere.
“A general? Brother Wang, I don’t know how to lead troops in battle!” Yu Ling forcibly held back the tears in his eyes.
