MEILIN’S REBORN (Battle Of The Heart And Throne)

JADE HEAVENS**

“Angel of light is here” the imperial guard announced again.

The guards that were outside bowed as Den stepped out of the vortex with Fen and Boi holding an umbrella behind him.

They were all dressed in their normal clothing, their long hair and long rope was present on their body.

“Greetings Angel of light” all the guards greeted and Angie just smiled.

When Angie stepped into the palace hall, met the king and queen smiling.

He went on his knees and bowed along with bodyguards.

“Greetings father and mother” he greeted.

“Rise my son” the king smiled and Angie rose up.

He faced Lord Morris and bowed lightly.

No wonder Mr Vincent looked familiar to him, he was actually his teacher when he still used to go to school back then.

Lord Morris smiled at him and he walked to sit in between his two stubborn twin sisters.

“Brother, I missed you a lot” both Ling and Shine chorused while holding his hands.

“I missed you both too,” Den smiled.

“You’re not going back to earth right?” Shine asked.

“I don’t know,” Den shrugged.

“Please don’t go, we miss you” Ling pouted.

“You miss me, I thought you could leave without me” Den smirked.

“No she can’t do her assignments” , Shine replied and Ling glared at her.

“Stubborn girls” Den smiled and faced the King.

“Father, am I done with my mission?” He asked.

“I’m not sure yet” the king replied and Den smiled.

He doesn’t want to be done yet, he feels like going back and staying with Gianna but he doesn’t know why.

“We’ll still need to get some message from the gods first so for now just go back to your room we’ll call you tomorrow, you deserve an award from me later on” the king added with a smile.

“Father, how about you throw a party?” Ling asked and Shine nodded in agreement.

“Lazy girls, you two go to your room and sleep remember you still have school tomorrow, now that Lord Morris is here I’ll see how you’ll show your laziness, especially you Ling” the queen replied.

Ling pouted and looked down.

“You’re all dismissed” the king ordered and everyone bowed before leaving.

“Finally” Boi smiled and Fen looked at him.

“Finally what?”

“I can start calling his Highness, his highness” Boi replied and Fen chuckled.

“What are you two standing there for, let’s go” Den smiled, signalling them to follow him.

Fen and Boi rushed to him but Ling and Shine blocked them.

“You two will stand at the back, we’ll be at his side” Shine eyed them.

“Yes your highness” Boi sulked and went to stand at the back of them.

Den just chuckled and shook his head.

He got to his room and his sisters won’t stop bugging him.

They kept asking him questions about earth and how everything was.

“Were they cute guys there?” Ling threw another question at him and he looked at her.

“What do you wanna use cute guys for, aren’t you too young to talk of that” he creased his brows.

“I’m not too young, I’m 900 years old and I’m a teenager. Everyone in my school has a lover” she replied.

“But you’re not them, don’t think of a lover now, think of becoming a queen one day because once you’re up to 1600 years old, father will select a prince for you both to marry” he said.

“Really, but you’re 2000 years old, why hasn’t your father given you any woman to marry?” Shine asked and Den sighed.

“Father doesn’t have too, I’m a male so the gods will choose for me, when they choose father will agree” he replied.

“They haven’t chosen yet?” Ling asked.

“Yes and I’m glad, I’m not ready to marry yet” he muttered.

“Oh” Shine muttered and let out a loud yawn.

“Feeling sleepy?” He asked and she nodded.

He looked at Ling and she was already dozing.

“Fen, Boi, take them to their room” he ordered.

They nodded and went to  the two princesses.

“Let’s go” Fen tried touching Ling but she slapped his hands off.

“I want to stay with Den,” she said sleepily.

“Me too,” Shine pouted.

“Forcefully take them out,” Den replied.

“Let’s go!!” Boi carried Shine and placed her on his shoulders.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Jesus, you’ve grown heavy” he groaned as he carried her out while Fen forcefully carried Ling away.

Once they were gone, Den laid on his bed with his hands folded above his head as he rested his head on it.

“What kind of girl will the gods pick for me?” He thought.

His mind went to Gianna and he shook his head.

“You’ve been thinking about her too much now, better stop it” he muttered.

NEXT DAY, OUZE PALACE**

The rain had stopped and the morning sun was already shining brightly.

Kai was still kneeling outside, he didn’t sleep or move his body, although his eyes were a bit lower he still looked like he didn’t care.

The main gate opened and two maids stepped out with a guard.

“General Kia” the maid bowed and he looked up.

“The crown princess has requested for you” she said.

Kia didn’t nod or say anything, he just stood up and followed her in.

He got in and met Chuyun sitting on her golden throne.

He went on his knees and bowed.

“Greetings crown princess, princess Daiyu” he greeted the both of them.

“General Kia” Chuyun muttered as she stared at him.

“I should have given you another punishment this morning but I didn’t because I’ll be giving you one last chance” she said and he looked up.

“Xia Meilin’s spirit had just entered that girl’s body but that doesn’t mean that we can’t still kill the girl” she said.

The name Xia Meilin rang on his head and he immediately shook it off.

“I want you to go back now and continue from where you stopped, now that you’ve seen the girl’s face, kill her completely” Chuyun added.

“I won’t fail you this time your highness” Kia bowed.

“Good, if you finally come back with a good result then I’ll reward you with something big,” she said and Daiyu smiled.

“Well understood, your highness” he replied and Chuyun smiled.

“Rise” she said and Kia stood up.

“Daiyu escorted him outside and opened the vortex for him” she said and Daiyu nodded and stood up.

She motioned Zachary to walk with her and he did then six maids and guards followed her from behind.

They got out and Daiyu opened the vortex, she ordered the maids and guards to leave and they did.

“Kia” she called and he looked at her.

She began moving close to him while he crossed his arms.

She got closer to him and held his shoulders.

“Take care of yourself,” she said.

“You don’t have to worry” he replied, pushing her hands off.

She smirked and moved her face closer to his but he looked elsewhere, she forcefully grabbed his head and made him face her.

“I would love to leave now your highness” he pushed her back and she fell on the ground.

Without turning back to look at her he stepped in.

“You just pushed a princess, the nerve of you” she smirked and scoffed.

“I can’t wait to have you wrapped around my fingers, General Kia” she smiled.

JADE HEAVENS**

The knock on the door made Den drop his chopsticks, he looked at Fen and Boi and they both rushed to get the door.

It was a maid.

“What do you want?” Boi asked.

“The king requested for prince Den” she replied.

Fen rushed back to Den.

“The king requested for you” he said and Den stood up.

They both found their way to the main palace hall.

As usual the imperial guard will announce his entry and everyone will greet him, he also greeted the king and queen.

“Father, you called for me?” He asked after the king had told him to rise.

“Yes son, you’ll still have to go back to earth, your mission isn’t complete yet” the king replied.

“What am I to do there father?” He asked.

“You’ll need to train that human on how to handle herself because the ancient princess spirit will still have to settle herself inside that human’s body” the king said and stared at Den.

“It might get to a situation whereby she might want to destroy everyone all in the name of revenge and I’ll need you to help her control herself, she won’t be too strong also and her enemies might use that opportunity to kill her again so you should still protect her. It’ll be harder than the first task that’s why the gods have decided for you not to do it alone” the king completed.

“Who’s with me?” Den asked and next thing came the voice of the imperial guard.

“Crown prince of the peacock is here,” the imperial guard announced.

Slowly Den turned back to meet a guy just like him, long blue hair, long blue rope, blue eyes, blue eyebrows too.

The guy looked a lot older than him.

“Who’s he?” He asked when the guy got to them and bowed.

“He’s the ancient prince Rennie from peacock palace, he was the chosen husband for Xia Meilin before she died” the king replied and Den eyes widened.
