36 Dare to lie?

"I don't think we have ever met, your highness. This prince must have mistaken this young miss for someone else." Her cold voice echoed clearly within the archery range.

"Very well then. I shouldn't stall this competition. You may begin- Oh, before we start.." he suddenly walked towards Ye FengTian.

A inexplainable glint flashed his eyes quickly. It was the kind that seemed harmless yet a dangerous meaning was hidden behind it. This glint past as fast as lightning, but Ye FengTian caught it.

He finally stopped. The fifth prince of Wang Kingdom had now arrived all the way upon the top of the platform. The platform was designed for one person only, however when the prince stood on it, it seemed to have unaffected the platform at all. The prince stood with his hands behind his back. A mischievous smile, akin to one of a child, was spread across his lips. As he walked closer, small gasps of excitement and shock echoed each time he took a step closer.

Finally, when he was about half a metre from his designated "destination" the field, the Archery range, the contestants, stilled and stood silently. No one dared to say anything, no one knew what to say.

As the prince stopped walking, he suddenly noticed that his surroundings where awfully quiet. The prince frowned as he scanned the contestants, his fellow half brothers and Madam Wu.

Suddenly his soft but youthful voice rung out,

"Why are you all so quiet? Well, it's not like I'm preventing you all from speaking, right? Talk about the competition, talk about anything. It's fine. I just have some unattended business with this p-"

Suddenly, as if the crowd was afraid to wait form him to finish his words. They started to talk again. Just like he had advised, they started talking about the competition, the results, who was going to win and other miscellaneous things. They were talking unusually loud as well.

Hearing this, the Prince smiled. He wasn't even surprised that the crowd had cut his cords off. That they cut off a prince's words off. He simply smiled slightly, turning his attention back to the person opposite of him.

Eventually, the archery range was silent again, although, the competition didn't start. How could it? The prince had unfinished business with one of the contestants.

"So. You say this prince has never met you before? You claim this prince has mistaken you for another person? Interesting.."

The fifth prince suddenly spoke softly, almost like a whisper to himself. The person opposite him had a cold smile hidden underneath her veil as her eyes remained expressionless and unreadable.

"Yes." She replies in response to his rhetorical questions.

"Oh? He responded amusingly. His eyes now also held that Mischievous expression as he leaned closer. His lips suddenly curved downwards, into a frown.

He shook his head, as if he was disappointed in her response. Suddenly his mischievous expression returned, expect this time he was closer, so Ye FengTian could see the dark, calculating glint in his eyes, hidden deep beneath his gaze.

"You know.." he started. His voice soft and almost inaudible, but to someone with trained hearing, it was not a problem for Ye FengTian to hear him clearly.

"Lying to the imperial family, means death."

He whispered in her ear, so quietly that only Ye FengTian could hear, he then retreated and began walking right back to where he was supposed to be, at the judges table.

'I know. But did you know, a truth the imperial family does not like, is a truth that needs to be eradicated. And most of the time, this truth can only be eliminated at its source.' Ye FengTian thought to herself coldly. Her aura was so calm and normal. It was like nothing had happened to her at all. It was like, those words didn't really affect- no, threaten her.
