“Her Royal Highness Lan Duo is intended to escape. Inform all the people to catch Her Royal Highness Lan Duo.” One of the soldiers who seemed to be the commander gave his order.

All the people were nodding their head, they were chasing tight behind of Yao Yao.

Huhuhuhuhu

Yao Yao was quickly run heading to the planes which were readily to land, the rapid breathing as if torn her lungs, her heart was feeling so in pain.

Perhaps this was because she has been too long not doing exercise, she just run for while but she felt as if no strength to move all her limbs.

It seemed to be landed soon, they must have landed on the outer palace side, that empty field.

She was running while her head kept on turning back, she realized those few soldiers haven’t ready come close to her, so that stopped her footstep, then she kept on breathing heavily, she was trying to take a little bit rest.

After she took rest for about one minute, Yao Yao for once again running.

In front, there are obviously several planes hovering at close range outside the palace, Yao Yao couldn’t hide the excitement in her heart.

So that she ignored her exhausted feeling and turned it to be her new energy to run faster.

And then, right the moment when she saw those few planes hovering lower, she could clearly see there were many soldiers guarded that area.

‘bang bang bang’ it was bullets and missiles sound.

Yao Yao raised her head up, she was staring as if those few planes were hovering on the top of her head, at the same time she could see someone in the plane was using a machine gun to confront people on the ground.

But inside the plane there seemed no Yu Ao Tian.

Could it be he has already landed to ground and gotten inside?

When she thought at this point, Yao Yao quickly changed her running direction, when she was running at the same time she was searching where Yu Ao Tian could be.

Along the way, she has met countless soldiers.

If not she was good at avoiding them, perhaps she has already caught by them.

Clatter clatter clatter

There were another groups of patrolling soldiers that passed.

When she heard the footsteps sound getting smaller and further, Yao Yao then poked his head out of the rock wall of a palace.

Right at this moment, suddenly there was a black shadow that flashed from far away.

That shadow, it was Yu Ao Tian.

He was running on the opposite way from her direction, Yao Yao impatiently to call “Yu.”

bang bang bang

When she wanted to call out, there was harsh shots made a precise circle around her body. Consciously she turned her head.

As seen, there were about twenties people of military snipers who pointed gun at her.

Damn it!

Why these soldiers appeared at this moment. They didn’t appear later or sooner but showing up just at the moment she saw Yu Ao Tian.

She was feeling so bummed out, tightened her fist. Her eyes took a look at her back.

Yu Ao Tian has already disappeared from her vision line.

In her heart, there was kind of sour indescribable sour feeling, she knew she was almost there, just almost there. She could leave this place with Yu Ao Tian. But…

Damn it! Damn it!

It was anger, and also regretful. She really didn’t know how to describe it. But Yao Yao still has faith, Yu Ao Tian would find her.

“Your royal Highness Lan Duo, judging from the attitude that you had shown before, we would locked you. Pardon us.” Someone who looked alike the leader waved his hand.

Quickly two soldiers put a handcuff on Yao Yao’s pair of hand, then they were taking her back to the inner palace.

Inside the quiet and cold inner room, pair of Yao Yao’s hand was handcuff together with a wooden bed. She could clearly see every groups of soldier that passing by through the window.

While in front of the door, at least there was one group of soldier guarded. It was so impossible for her even if she wanted to escape.

In front of her eyes, she couldn’t conceal her anxiety, restless as well her helplessness.

Her handcuff hand kept on struggling to free, she knew clearly what she done was in vain, but Yao Yao still that panic. It more than enough to proof how persistent she wanted to leave this place.

Bang bang bang, there was another bullets and missiles rain passing the palace.

Yao Yao’s heart was strangely trembling.

No, she shouldn’t think only to leave this place. The most important right this moment was Yu Ao Tian safety. As long as he is doing okay, as long as he knew that she didn’t die then everything is well. He didn’t need to save her if this was too dangerous for him.

Bang bang bang, the sound as if getting closer.

Her anxious eyes suddenly became bright: “Yu Ao Tian is nearby.” It must be something like this.

Pricked up ears, she was quietly listening to the gun shots that getting closer.

Yao Yao was focusing all her eyesight to the window direction.

“Field soldiers run to the west side, quickly chase.”

“Yes.” The soldiers, all of them were run from Yao Yao’s second floor inner palace to the outside.

Not long after that, she did see Yu Ao Tian figure in her vision line.

The person was him.

Yu Ao Tian was barging into her room window in order to avoid the attack. He cautiously hid behind a window of palace outside where she was.

Ao Tian.

Hah, there was no trace that he was getting hurt or wounded, it seemed he was doing good. This really something good.

Yao Yao did think to call Yu Ao Tian’s name quickly but she stopped because she shouldn’t. He was hiding about five meters closed to the patrol soldiers, once she really called him, then without doubted she must have revealed his position.

Wait. She was waiting.

Wait.

At least, standing at here, quietly staring at him, this perhaps wasn’t a bad choice.

But…

At this moment, Yao Yao seemed to understand what is called as the furthest distance in this world.

The furthest distance in this world, perhaps it is…

I am staying beside you, looking at you but you not even knowing it.

“Haha.” It was a sour faint smile that showed on her face, Yao Yao was quietly observing those patrolling soldiers, right the moment when she certain those soldiers have gone,  “Ao.. uh…”

Her mouth was closed by a big hand, it closed tight her mouth, and then the curtain closed.

She was witnessing without doing anything Yu Ao Tian disappeared right in front her eyes, she was struggling but couldn’t free herself. As seen, the person who closed her mouth, he…

Lan You.

When she knew the person was Lan You, that struggling stopped, she dumbfounded on her place. Her eyes sadly seeing that curtain which slowly closed.

No, no!

At least, he let her to see him! She has right to see him!

Fortunately, Lan You did leave a small gap between the curtain and window, she still able to see Yu Ao Tian. Unfortunately, he would have never founded her, Yao Yao was so close to him, she was right behind him

“My dear, how do you feel to see your beloved at this position?” Lan You gradually took away his hand which covered her mouth, the way of he spoke sounded as if he was teasing her.

Yao Yao kept silent, she just glared Lan You with her deathly sight.

“Why are you using that hateful eyesight when looking at me? Is it because I didn’t let you two meet?”

“That’s right!” She finally couldn’t suppress her anger anymore, she vented it out, she exploded. Yao Yao coldly said: “You let me go! I am not supposed at here, I am not belonged to this place. You quickly free me!”

“Hah. If I let you go, you must think to stay together with Yu Ao Tian. How about…” The smile that Lan You showed on his face immediately disappeared. Quickly he took out his gun from his pocket, make it passing through the gap, he said: “Once I kill Yu Ao Tian, soon I will kill you too in order to accompany him.”

No! No!

The position that Yu Ao Tian was stayed, it was death corner, he wouldn’t able to see or sense about Lan You’s existence.

Yao Yao opened her eyes big, as seen he was gradually pulling the trigger, Yao Yao’s pair of eyes flashed, she raised her leg and then kicked the gun that Lan You’s held.

The bullet went through the glass window, directly flew out.

Yu Ao Tian who was hiding at the death corner, obviously sensed that the place that he hiding right now wasn’t a good place, he pulled someone’s hand who beside him and said: “Follow me.”

“Aiya, aiya. Who is that woman that staying beside Yu Ao Tian?”

Behind the curtain, through the gap, Yao Yao could see clearly the hand that held by Yu Ao Tian was Qi Xin Er’s hand passing right in front of her eyes: “How sister Xin Er also here?” Why Yu Ao Tian brought sister Xin Er to this place?

“Sst. I remember. I did imprison Qi Xin Er at this place, it seems that Yu Ao Tian came to here in order to safe Qi Xin Er.” Lan You was pretending as if he was remembering on something when said this, while at the same time he showed his devilish smile.

“So you are the person who kidnapped Sister Xin Er.” Before she confronted Zeng Kai Rui, she knew there would be a day Yu Ao Tian would be going to search Qi Xin Er. She never thought if Qi Xin Er was imprisoned by Lan You in this Sky City.

Then…

Yao Yao as if recalled on something, her eyes widen, quickly she asked: “That day when I passed the basement prison, I did hear a crying sound, it must be Sister Xin Er’s voice.”

“En. It seems it is the case.”

“Lan You, you tell me, what kind of scheme are you planning. You aren’t Zeng Kai Rui’s man? But, the disappearance of Sister Xin Er is closely related to the position inherited by the new prime minister. Since you are the one who imprison Sister Xin Er, aren’t you doing thing for Zeng Kai Rui?”

Listened to the way how Yao Yao asked him, to be honest, he didn’t think about this, so that he answered her casually: “It seems like what you said! Who knows.”

Whatsoever! Yao Yao didn’t want to know further who is whose man between them. The priority at this moment, Yao Yao just wanted to leave this place.

“Master.” One of the soldier hurried got into the room: ” Our people have already occupied several fortresses in the palace, now it was obviously those men who came to here have left. Should we chase them?”

“Leave?” Yao Yao looked unbelievable, her eyes wide opened, Yu Ao Tian wanted to leave.

Right, this sounded logical. Safety is first. Safety is first. Hahahaha.

Yao Yao kept on comforting herself, but it was so impossible if she didn’t feel sad inside her heart.

“Between two women, he has made his choice, no matter what, anyway Yu Ao Tian didn’t get back with empty hand. Don’t you think so, My Dear?”

An initially she has felt so sad inside her heart, but after she heard that provoking voice came from Lan You, that hand which has curved into tight curled even turned to be tighter, her nails pierced deep into her palm.

Safety is first. Safety is first.

What Yu Ao Tian done, he was right. What Yu Ao Tian decided it was right.

“Inform all the soldiers, no need to chase those who barged in.”

“Yes.” After they accepted the command, the soldier quickly went out from the room.

She down her head, she kept silent.

Lan You still with his devilish smile while at the same time staring at her face: “Very disappointed?”

“No, what to feel disappointed about? Everything just too normal.” Yao Yao was pretending to be strong and tough, shrugging her shoulder.

He coldly cast a glance at her, as he seen, she was curled tight her hand, made it into a hard fist.

“Then what is this because?”

Palm, it has a trace of blood, it was because Yao Yao nailed it by herself.

It was because, she didn’t want to shed her tears, she didn’t want to cry.

But because being exposed heartless by Lan You, the tears which she has been enduring for long time, gradually it fell down from her eyes: “Let me go.” It was choking sound.

Lan You laughed in silent.

She has been feeling so frustrated, feeling so hateful toward his face at this moment. She hated that smile expression on his face, so irritating.

“You let me go! You free me! Just let me go!”

The last hope that Yao Yao for her life, it felt as if cut off, she has crumbled, she was looked alike crazy girl who kept on moving her body.

That tight handcuff on her hand, gradually it showed the blood trace.

Lan You was looking at everything with his cold eyesight, it was so cold, really cold eyesight.

“Let me go! I want to get out from here! I want to leave here! Arghhhhhh.” Without rest, the tear-stained wrist gradually dripped dazzling blood.

She couldn’t feel the pain, she did feel the sour feeling inside her heart.

A hard slap landed on her face.

Immediately Yao Yao devastating emotion changed to be calm down, she looked in bitter and pain while at the same time she stared at Lan You who gave her a slap.

That beautiful face looked so deathly scary, raised his hand, he pulled hard Yao Yao long hair: “Yu Ao Tian has dumped you, why are you still acting so stupid to look for him? Aren’t you making yourself a like bitch?”

“Bitch!” Yao Yao was laughing miserable: “Do you think, why am I struggling to leave this place, do you think it is because I wanted to stay together with Yu Ao Tian? No, I just want to leave this place, I want to leave you and don’t want to stay with you!”

It was another hard slap on her face.

Her cheeks, it felt hot pierce pain, her mouth corner bleeding a bit. Yao Yao who has bottled up her emotions for all this time, finally burst out, there was tears on her eyes, she was gathering her last strength only to free her hand from that metal handcuff which put on her wrist. That thing didn’t break.

She didn’t care whether she looked dummy or crazy.

She knew impossible to break that metal handcuff from her hand no matter how she tried, but she still wanted to be this voluntary stupid girl.

Blood, it flowing down from Yao Yao pair of hand, perhaps, she was really too stubborn, that handcuff which tightly tight her hand gradually changed it shapes. Moreover she really couldn’t feel any pain.

Bang, it was a gun sound.

Yao Yao was shaking, she raised her head, she stared at Lan You.

As seen, his hand which holding a gun, the bullet was breaking the handcuff, she freed from the handcuff which tight her for all this time.

“You.”

“Didn’t you want to leave?”

Lan You freed her, finally Lan You did let her go. Yao Yao didn’t dare to believe what she has heard, she stupidly dumbfounded at her place.

The next second,

He moved one step in front, his hand pinched hard her chin, he shouted: “But, you should remember, I will only soften my heart for this one time. Your chance, it is only one time.”

This man who always acted alike gentleman, for the first time he shouted like this, this man who always speaking in casual way, not fast nor slow, for the first time he spoke with this high tone. This man who always looked so calm in any situation, for the first time he really venting out his anger.

Yao Yao still looked at him, until there was kind of grateful and excited eyesight flashing from her eyes, she turned and then run as fast as she could without turned her head.

Inside the room, immediately it has turned into deathly silent.

“Master, Her Royal Highness Lan Duo, she…” One of the soldier didn’t understand, he rushed in.

Lan You with his cold eyesight glared at that soldier, expressionless he leaned his body on the wall, while his eyes kept on looking at the window.

Yao Yao was still running.

He could see there was a sunny and bright expression on her face, she looked so happy. That expression was completely different with every expressions she showed when she was still staying at this Sky city.

Her smile was so dazzling, so bright.

She looked so lively.

Unfortunately, Lan You hated so much her not domineering smile which she showed right now.

“It was me who asked her to leave. But, no worries, she will come back soon. Lan Duo, here would be your hell.” After he spoke, there was a deathly scary smile on his face. This smile really looked alike something that coming from hell, it able to give people a shivering feeling once they see it.

It was just a palace with gunpowder smoke, and the gunshots were gradually diminishing. Few of the Madams who was still sleeping in the ‘Harem Palace’ were waking up and feeling terrified by the war just now.
