457 The Truth

The maids nodded in unison.

“That’s right, Your Majesty”

Bai Ying thought, he had been thinking all night looking for that person to ask about everything he need to know, he stretched out his hand to Yan.

“Em, come on, help Ying to prepare my bath water and get dressed, we have to hurry before The Crown Prince comes back.”

The two maids looked at each other confusedly, but neither of them could ask much and quickly got to work.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

........

The sound of the soft rustling of bamboo stalks in the wind, accompanied by the melodious plucking of the zither in a small pavilion in the garden next to the Bungalow of Goose, a special bungalow for palace guests who is now one of the palace advisors who spend most of the time relaxing. Who else but Elder Yi.

The handsome man with long silver hair let his beautiful hair be stroked by the wind, sitting in the garden enjoying his morning tea and breakfast, accompanied by the playing of the zither by some of his best maids.

.....

Elder Yi was a young man with great taste, even his choice of maids was special. He deliberately chose young little servants whom he could teach them many things, including playing musical instruments such as the zither and bamboo flute.

Elder Yi really enjoyed his very calm morning atmosphere, even lifting his teacup to the rhythm of the zither and sipping slowly, savouring it, all the pleasures that nothing else could replace.

“Wow, this is called life”

The man let his little maids serve him tea and comb his long hair after he woke up and showered earlier, his clothes which were dominated by metallic blue colour fluttered softly by the breeze that passed under his feet.

“Thank you” no one enjoyed life more, other than Elder Yi at that time, he was about to take another sip of his very good tea as slowly as possible.

“Elder Yi!”

When suddenly, a shrill and loud sound startled him until all the contents of the small cup spilt onto his front clothes.

“Ooh my”

It was Bai Ying, who arrived with his two servants and stopped in front of the gate, looking at Elder Yi whose front clothes were partly wet.

“Oops, ouch it’s all wet now.”

Without delay, Bai Ying lifted his very beautiful signature King of Xin Hua’s clothes that were hanging down to the bottom of his pants and approached Elder Yi who was sitting in the garden beside the bungalow.

The maids immediately lowered their bodies as they saw Bai Ying approaching.



“Greetings Your Majesty the King”

Bai Ying stuttered, he looked at Yan and Bi who immediately dismissed a few servants to walk away.

“You guys can go back inside,” said Yan.

The young maidservants including the zither and flute players lowered their heads and retreated towards the bungalow.

Elder Yi was still busy cleaning up the water that had soaked his beloved clothes as Bai Ying sat in front of him.

“Oh Your Majesty My King, what on earth made His Majesty come to me so early in the morning? What a great honour it is.”

Bai Ying pulled his lips.

“Ah, Elder Yi, stop your strange behaviour, Ying wants to ask you something, and Elder Yi must answer honestly, otherwise, Emmm, Elder Yi will become an ugly frog,” Bai Ying exclaimed with a serious face.

Elder Yi frowned. Seeing Bai Ying’s face which looked very serious, the young man even frowned deeply.

“Em, why have to become an ugly frog?”

“Yeah! Or do you prefer another? Cockroach?”

Elder Yi couldn’t help but laugh, the young man in front of him was really adorable, whether he was serious or not with his words clearly his face looked very serious. The Kid’s forehead frowned deeply with his eyes focused on him.

“Hehehe, Your Majesty, alright then, what is Your Majesty about to ask, this old man will try to answer it or else I will become an ugly frog or even worse”

Bai Ying thinks hard, about whether he really has to ask this or not, but he can’t hold the thought as something big is about to happen, he has a very bad feeling. He turned to look at his maids, his loyal maids were never being strangers and he trust them so much, but, this is might not something the both could handle. Yan dan Bi understand what his gaze meant, both lowered their heads and knee and retreated to the bungalow.

Elder Yi poured his teacup and another one for Bai Ying, who really look restless at that time.

“Ying, what are you going to ask? Something makes you restless?”

Bai Ying raised his head, stared at Elder Yi for a moment, and clenched his fist trying to say something that already waiting at the tips of his lips, even though he had prepared it before coming here it just couldn’t come out of his mouth, and Elder Yi seem to understand what the boy has in mind.

“Did, Ying think about your next fights with Black Roirtoise and Black Snake?”

Bai Ying looks at Elder Yi with his big rounded eyes.

“Did, did Elder Yi, do think it’s very dangerous to go there? Something bad going to happen, isn’t it?” Bai Ying asked impatiently.

Elder Yi took a sip of his tea, a very high-quality tea from Cloud Forest, which had now become the palace’s official drink.

He slowly raises his head to look at Bai Ying who was already staring at him waiting for him to respond. He places the cup back on its saucer.

“Heh, every journey is dangerous Your Majesty, even the last fight with the Red demon bird is also very high dangerous, but, Your Majesty and others manages to win it, didn’t you?”

Bai Ying nodded slowly.

“Yeah, but, this time, is the final, I think its the final because, what we going to face is the enemy who doesn’t have the limits to kill, Ying, dreamt about Queen Bo Yan several times, on how she’s so powerful, and didn’t flinch a bit on killing her enemies, as easy as she steps on them with her feet like ants, and, last time, last night, Ying, dreamt about how she’s killing all of the peoples I know, including decapitating The Crown Prince’s head in front of my eyes”

Bai Ying couldn’t hold his tears flowing as he imagined the horror, his fist is shaking and cold, and he couldn’t continue his words.

Elder Yi looks at the boy’s gloomy face for a moment, he doesn’t know whether he should have told the boy about the prophecy of the King of Realm and the Fifth element to him or not? But, as the person who stands in the centre of all the things that happened, he is more than anyone who should know the truth. Elder Yi took a deep breath.

Bai Ying raises his head and wipes his tears.

“Please tell Ying, how can I save all of them? So my nightmare won’t happen?”

“Did, you really ready to know everything?” asked Elder Yi.

Bai Ying nodded, he wiped his tears a couple of times and look at the man with his big eyes to make sure Elder Yi he’s strong enough as a growth-up boy.

“Yes, Ying ready to know all the truth, just, let Ying know how can I save them, that the most important”

Elder Yi poured the tea to fill his cup.

“Then, how if I tell you, to save them all means that King of Realm has to make some sacrifices?”

Bai Ying widen his eyes, thinking about what Elder Yi meant by his words, slowly, the boy nodded.

“Even if I have to die, so, let it happens”

......

Click.

Towards noon. Luo Xiang had just returned to Plum Bungalow after a long day of practice, frowning at the peaceful atmosphere of the bungalow and there was no sound at all. This is, unusually, because Bai Ying was so cheerful, he could tell long stories to his maids all day long or just sit by the fish pond jokingly. Is he still sleeping?

The Crown Prince headed upstairs to the room, where some maids including Yan and Bi were standing to welcome him.

“Greetings Your Highness the Crown Prince”

Luo Xiang was about to ask about Bai Ying, but he already saw that the child was still lying on the bed, his back to him.

Luo Xiang waved his hand asking all the maids to come out, soon Yan and Bi followed by the ranks of special maids of the Viceroy retreated out of the room.

“Hey lazy kid, are you going to sleep all day?” Luo Xiang said in a soft voice, touching Bai Ying’s arm who was sleeping with his back to him.

There was no sound for a moment, until Bai Ying turned his body towards the Crown Prince, smiling at him.

“Your Majesty, yeah, I’m so sleepy, I really want to sleep as much as we can before we depart.”

Luo Xiang’s wide palm caressed Bai Ying’s cheek, looking at him with a loving gaze as if there was only Bai Ying’s face in his eyes, and indeed, there was only him in his eyes and in his heart, in all parts of his body, down to the smallest pulse.
