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

Gianna’s eyes widened and she immediately pushed Angie away from her then jumped down from the table and picked the sword that she dropped earlier.

The guards rushed to her and she began fighting them all at once, Den also took his sword and joined her in the fight.

“Your highness please we don’t wanna fight you, his majesty has ordered us to bring her back alive” the senior guard pleaded.

“Go back and tell his majesty that I disapprove of it!” He replied and slashed two guards with his sword.

Gianna glared at him and rolled her eyes.

“You’re so annoying! Why can’t you just leave huh?.. I don’t need your help!” She snapped and slashed the guard that was coming towards her.

Den ignored her and continued fighting with the guards and the guards had no choice than to fight him back.

In a few minutes, both Den and Gianna had taken down all those guards already, Den tiredly dropped his sword and faced her.

“Come, I’ll take you to a new place” he took her hands and tried leaving with her but she slapped his hands off.

“What is your problem!?, Defying the king’s orders just to save me? Is it really worth it?” She asked angrily.

“I’ll do anything for my Anna, five hundred years ago I couldn’t protect her so I’ll do nothing than to protect her this time” he replied.

Gianna chuckled, huffed and scoffed at the same time before facing him.

“You’d do anything for Gianna?, But I’m not Gianna!, I told you I’m just using her body to get my revenge so your Gianna is no more till I’m done and I’m sure that, by the time I’m done she’s going to die because without my spirit inside her, she’s the same as dead” she rolled her eyes.

Den shook his head and licked his lips.

“As long as you still have her face and some memories of her inside you then you’re still her and I’ll stop at nothing to bring her back” he said.

“Okay how would you do that? By kissing me again?” She crossed her arms.

“More than that, I’ll keep following you everywhere you go till Gianna will be forced to come out” he replied.

“Alright then, let’s see how you’d do that when you’re dead!” She gritted her teeth and plunged her sword deep into his chest.

Den frozed in place and slowly looked down at the sword that was plunged into his chest, his blood were already dripping bit by bit then he looked back up at Gianna and she was looking at him with angry eyes, at a point he saw her eyes soften a bit and he smiled.

“Anna, I know you’re still in there” he said weakly and Gianna’s eyes darkened again next thing she pulled the sword out and watched him slowly go down.

“It’s all your fault, I told you to leave me alone right.. I’m not Gianna and I hate when kids bug me around, I hope you’d be able to leave and see that I’m not Gianna after this” she said slowly.

After taking one more glance at him, she turned around and began leaving but the moment she stepped her foot outside, she was welcomed with over six of the imperial guard from Jade heavens, blocking her path and pointing their swords at her.

“I order you to surrender yourself right now” one of them ordered.

Gianna looked left and right then sighed, her sword slowly fell from her hands and she slowly went on her knees.

“Go inside and look for his highness, we’ll take her” the guard ordered.

“Yes” two other guards nodded and rushed in, the other three guards took Gianna and led her in the carriage while the last guard sat on the horse and began riding.

The two guards who ran inside the house to look for Den earlier were surprised to see laying on the floor with blood leaking from his chest.

“Your highness”

“Your highness”

They all rushed to him and raised him up.

“His highness has been injured, quick summon more guards!” One of them yelled and the other one rushed out.

JADE HEAVENS**

The moment the guards brought Den back to the palace, everyone stood up and came to him.

“What happened to his highness”

“What happened to the angel of light”

“What did that witch did to him”

“How dare that woman try to kill the angel of light”

“She must die!”

The guards ignored the comments as they were rushing Den to his room.

“Highness!” Boi who came outside and I saw the scene yelled.

“His highness is back?” Fen asked, coming from behind.

“Yes but it seems like he looks injured, hurry up and let’s go” Boi grabbed Fen’s hand and they all rushed out towards him.

FEW MINUTES LATER

The king, queen, Sapphire, Fen, Boi, Ling and Shine were all present in Den’s room, they were waiting for the doctor to attend to Den and give them feedback.

Finally the doctor was done and he came back to them and they all straightened up, waiting to hear what he had to say.

“Say something Mr Mo, how’s my brother now?” Shine asked.

“Ahh, luckily the cut wasn’t that deep so his highness is fine but it’s just that he had lost a lot of blood and will need time to recover, maybe he might wake up tomorrow” the imperial doctor replied.

Everyone breathed out of relief.

“They are some recommended medicine I’ll get for him and until that, I’ll take your leave now my king” the imperial doctor bowed and left.

Ling and Shine rushed to Angie while Sapphire faced the King and queen.

“Your majesty” she bowed and looked up at him.

“Don’t you think that girl should suffer for what she did?” she said and Fen looked at her.

“She must definitely suffer for trying to kill my son” the queen said angrily and Ling bit her lips from where she sat.

“So what kind of punishment can I ask the guards to give her for now?” She asked.

“Right now I ordered them to lash her one hundred and fifty times” the queen said and Fen exchanged looks with Boi.

Shine stood up from the small stool where she was sitting and moved towards them.

“One hundred and fifty??, Don’t you think that is too small?” She said angrily.

Ling’s eyes widened and she stood up too.

“If it’s too small then what will be a bigger punishment, she’s still a girl remember?” She said,

Sapphire ignored and faced the King.

“Your majesty, how about we behead her tomorrow morning as a lesson to the rest” she said.

Boi’s eyes widened, he wanted to talk but Fen pulled him back and shook his head.

“Yes father I second that” Shine nodded.

“No I don’t second that, for Den trying to protect her it means that she must mean so much to him right?” Ling reasoned.

“I think you’re out of your mind Ling Ling, how can you be supporting brother’s enemy, didn’t you always say that you love brother?” She asked.

“I love my brother , that’s why I’m supporting her,” Ling replied.

“You-

“Enough!!” The king cut them off and released a deep breath.

He walked out of the room and faced the guards that were bowing to him outside.

“Pass my orders, tomorrow morning that killer must be beheaded” he ordered.

“Father!” Ling yelled and Sapphire smiled secretly.

“Yes your majesty” the guards bowed and the King left.

“Father” Ling called out and turned back to glare at both Shine and Sapphire before she continued rushing after him.

Shine went her way and Sapphire walked out with her bodyguard, Gina.

Both Fen and Boi looked at themselves and shook their heads.

“This is not good”

DEMONS KINGDOM**

Harmony barged into Nevaeh’s room harshly not minding if she was dressing or not.

“Hey, don’t you know how to knock before you enter someone’s room!” Nevaeh complained.

“I know you came to my room and tried stealing my bell yesterday” Harmony said, ignoring Nevaeh’s complaints.

Nevaeh hugged and crossed her arms under her br**st.

“Now I must ask, why must you do that? Scared because you’ve accepted that Lord Draco can never fall for you?” She asked.

Nevaeh blinked and looked elsewhere.

“Why aren’t you talking huh?” Harmony asked.

“I’m not scared, because I know that Lord Draco will fall in love with me,” Nevaeh replied.

“If you are really confident about it then try playing fair next time, you have just two weeks Nevaeh and I have a lot of eyes watching you!” Harmony pointed at her before leaving.

Nevaeh scoffed and sat on her bed.

“She wants me to play fair, oh I will play fair” she muttered then her mind drifted to last night and she immediately shook her head.

“You can’t start thinking about last night” she scolded herself and stood up.

“Just two weeks, just two weeks… How do I do it, that man seems tougher than I thought, he looks more worse than the Zachary of five hundred years ago so how will I do it?” She muttered with crossed arms.

An idea suddenly popped in her head and she smiled widely.

“There’s nothing like fair play in the demon’s palace” she chuckled and rushed out of her room.

One her way out, she bumped into a guard.

“Hey come here” she whispered to him and the guard walked up to her.

“Where is lord Draco?” She asked.

“In his room meditating, please don’t go to him, he hates it when someone interferes with his meditating period, he will be available in the evening so whatever you want can wait ” the guard replied.

“Hey!, I’m not going to disturb or go to him so don’t worry, I’ll be going out of the demon kingdom for a short while and I want you to cover up for me” she said.

“Where to?” The guard asked.

“You don’t have to worry, bye bye” she waved and ran to the wall, climbed it and jumped down.

The guard just shook his head and stood akimbo.

“Just what type of girl is this?” He thought.

PEACOCK PALACE**

Nevaeh arrived at the front of the gate and began thinking of a way she could enter without her being noticed by everyone.

She is still not used to her superpowers yet so how can she get in, what if she decides to disappear and then finds herself in her brother’s room.

While thinking some group of maids began walking past her, she looked at them and grabbed one of them to a corner.

“Hey, princess you…

“Shh.. give me your clothes” she cut the maid off.

“Huh?”

“Let’s exchange clothes and wait for me outside, I’ll come back and return it back” Nevaeh groaned.

“Oh okay” the maid nodded and began taking off her clothes, after taking it off. She gave it to Nevaeh and Nevaeh also removed her cloth and gave it to the maid.

After changing, she looked at the maid and held her shoulders.

“Remember to wait for me outside” she said, the maid nodded then Nevaeh ran inside.

Nevaeh kept her face low as she walked in, no guards or maids had the time to look at her as she found her way in, once she was fully in, she looked left and right before finding her away to the direction of her room.

As expected she met June and Oprah cleaning up the room and she entered then locked the door.

“Hey look! An intruder!!” Oprah yelled and June brought out her sword.

“Calm down you both, is it me okay?” Nevaeh rolled her eyes.

“Huh?, Princess” Oprah called and June slowly put down her sword.

“Princess you’re back, have you killed him yet?” Oprah asked.

“And why are you dressed up as a maid?” June asked too.

Nevaeh sighed and crossed her arms.

“I haven’t killed him yet and he’s harder to seduce than I thought” she replied then looked left and right.

“So I’ve decided to do it the hard way, I came here to borrow some medicine” she added.

“What kind of medicine?” June asked.

“The kind that can make a person sick overnight, grandma once told me that the peacock palace has all kinds of poison and antidote, so I came here to borrow one” Nevaeh replied.

“Wait princess, what are you planning to do exactly?” Oprah asked.

“I’m planning to poison the Demon King then take care of him overnight and heal him with the antidote so he can finally notice me” she replied with a proud smile.

“But what if…

“Don’t say it but Oprah, please can you help me get one. I’m really late and the demons must not suspect my absent” Nevaeh cut her off.

“Oh, alright Princess, what kind of poison do you want?” Oprah asked.

“Anyone one that’ll keep him in pain all night and bring it along with the antidote” Nevaeh replied.

Oprah nodded and disappeared then Nevaeh went to sit on the bed.

**

Oprah appeared inside the medicine and poison room and rushed to the shelves where everything was kept.

“So many poisons? How will I know which one to pick?” she asked herself and rushed to the shelf, picking some, opening it, smelling it and dropping it back.

The creaking of the door was heard and her eyes widened, she immediately took a poison and rushed to the antidote center then took one and disappeared off.

She appeared back inside Nevaeh’s room and Nevaeh stood up.

“Did you get it?” Nevaeh asked with widened eyes.

“Yes” Oprah hurriedly gave it to her and Nevaeh smiled.

“Perfect, I’ll get going now” she smiled and used the window to escape.

Once she was gone, June looked at Oprah immediately.

“What kind of poison did you give her?” She asked and Oprah shrugged.

“I don’t know”

“What do you mean you don’t know!!” June winded her eyes as she asked.

“I don’t know, they were so many and besides poison is poison so it’s no big deal” Oprah shrugged and continued while June continued staring at her with a kind of expression from behind.

EVENING, JADE HEAVENS**

Gianna sat cuddled on the floor of the dark prison. Earlier, the guards had been lashing her non-stop both on her face and all parts of her body.

They were even more annoyed with the fact that she wouldn’t make any sounds as they were lashing at her and now all her face was covered with bruises and blood, you can almost not recognize her anymore.

All the lashes that she had received were not her problem because the only thing on her mind was how she was going to escape from this place.

For all she knows, she can’t die yet, she still needs to get her revenge, she didn’t allow her spirit to enter this human girl’s body for nothing.

As she was thinking, she felt the cell open and before she called look up, a bucket of hot water flew from nowhere and landed straight on her body.

Ouch!
