"First General?" said a guard in surprised.
Many of them have mixed feelings about Chu Yang and they heard that name they all looked to see where she was but she was nowhere to be found.
"What? I was sure-" said the main guard but was interrupted by Lin Yu Yan.
Lin Yu Yan tripped and fell to the ground making her clothing covered in dirt and her mask all funky.
"Wah!" she yelled.
'That wasn't s girly scream…' thought all the guards witnessing such a stupid fall. A lot of them laughed a little at the embarrassing sight they witness. Some felt bad because she just embarrassed herself in front of the Chu Emperor.
"Ouch…" said Lin Yu Yan. "My mask is dirty now…"
She takes off her mask and the guards, soldiers and the ministers who finally made it to the gate looked over at Lin Yu Yan and was surprised. Not only was her beauty flawless but the familiarity she has with a hero of theirs lingered in their minds.
"Lady Lin?" said the Chu Emperor.
"Huh? Lady Lin?" Lin Yu Yan looked at the ministers and the Chu Emperor.
"Wait, you're a lot younger than her…" whispered one of the minister.
"Why do you know my surname?" Lin Yu Yan said confused as to why they know. 'Ah… I f*cked up…' thought Lin Yu Yan. She was so confused as to why they know her surname she accidentally said it out loud.
They are now surprised. 'She must be her daughter then!?' they all thought.
"*Clears throat* I'm Wang Ping, the third prince of the Wang Empire. Please to meet you," said Wang Ping, a little angry he is not having the proper greeting he should have gotten.
"Oh, Yes. Welcome to the center of the Chu Empire, Feng City," said one of the ministers. "I am Minister Quan. Nice to meet you," said Minister Quan.
'Oh… he must be Su Wen's father…' thought Lin Yu Yan.
"Welcome. I'm the Chu Emperor, Chu Hoi-mo. Please, come in," said the Chu Emperor
They welcomed them in and especially treated Wang Ping and Lin Yu Yan very well the whole time. As they were walking to the palace.
"Alright, I'm going now. I have things to do," said Lin Yu Yan.
"Okay," answered Wang Ping.
"Wait! Where are you-?" asked Minister Quan but Lin Yu Yan just left without saying anything else.
The Han brothers, Wei Ru and Wu Lang left with her and the only ones with the third prince was Gu Xiang, Xie Rong, Meiying, Peng Ai, and Kenzhi.
"Isn't she under you?" asked the Chu Emperor.
"No, she's a very important friend of mine and the Wang Empire. She hates being in these situation. Probably the only time you'll see her," Wang Ping said.
"But… she must be the daughter of our savior…" said Minister Quan.
"Oh about that… who is this Lady Lin?" asked Wang Ping. They were all curious of who this lady Lin was and how it was related to Lin Yu Yan.
"Lady Lin is the woman who helped us back when we had that fall out. She healed most of us and saved many from getting stuck in the slave markets. She even placed a barrier around our Kingdom for extra protection," said the Chu Emperor.
"Sadly we weren't able to thank her as she disappeared a few days later but she was the most beautiful and kindest woman we all know," said another Minister. "Hello, I never introduced myself. I'm Minister Dai. Nice to meet you, Third prince," said Minister Dai.
"Nice to meet you too," said Wang Ping.
Minister Quan was pleasantly surprised as well when he first saw Lady Lin. 'She is the most beautiful woman I have ever met in my entire life. I wanted her to be my wife but she disappeared before I could do so. Maybe my sons would want to marry that beautiful girl. I would love to have her as my daughter-in-law so maybe I can meet Lady Lin again.'
Minister Quan was already planning how he can get his sons to meet up with Lin Yu Yan.
Wang Ping saw the look in his eyes and remembered it was the same look his father gave when he asked Lin Yu Yan's hand in marriage to him.
'Should I warn him…?' thought Wang Ping. But he then remembered warning his brother and not feeling bad about it. 'Nah, they won't listen to me anyway,' and shrugged his shoulders.
Wang Ping and them have finally reached the palace where they were lead to a room to discuss what he came for.
"So, I'm just going to be honest with you…" said Wang Ping.
The others stood behind him and the Chu Emperors and his 2 ministers, and 6 elders of Chu sat on either side of him, in front of him, and watched and listened carefully to what the prince had to say.
"My older brother, the first prince of Wang, Is alive," he said. Many people knew him because the previous emperor of Wang spread the word that his son is a genius and everything and they were shocked to know he was still alive.
"We overthrew my father for his terrible ruling and my brother is now the current Emperor of Wang. I know we may have some issues to work on because of my father's doings but I hope we can work on our relationship," said Wang Ping with confidence.
"I know… my father has never been the greatest allies but I hope to fix this. We, the newly born Wang Empire would like for you, the Chu Empire to forgive us for all the things we have never done to help you guy when you needed us the most," said Wang Ping. He stood up and bowed down to the Chu Ministry, the council, and the Emperor.
