MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 18: Choices

PART 131 – TIAN LIAM WAS HYPNOTIZED

-Tian Liam… - Hou Lei ran to his place.

She raised his body up and felt his pulse. Nothing was strange, his breath was also normal. She tried to bring him up but he was a little bit heavy for her. At that time, the General walked pass the entrance of her room and saw her struggling with Tian Liam.

-My Princess, what happened? – Mr. Hu asked.

-I saw a mysterious lady with Tian Liam.

-A mysterious lady? – Mr. Hu surprised. – How could she appear in this palace without notice?

-I do not know. Oh, she can fly, or something like that.

-So she could escape easily. Well, sorry my Princess, let me help you with the Prince first.

Mr. Hu helped to bring Tian Liam to the bed and put him onto. Hou Lei closed the door and sat down on a chair next to her table. Mr. Hu also sat down opposite to her. She poured some tea into a cup and gave him. He drank some and put the cup on the table.

-I think that there were many strange things surrounding the palace and the royal city in recent days. You know that, the madness of the Crown Prince, the appearance of the Priests from the East Land, many assassins vanished in front of my and the Prince’s eyes, the revelation of Er Wang in disguising the Third Prince, and now the mysterious lady who could fly. I cannot believe that there are many kinds of magical things like those around us.

-This world is very large, we have no idea how many strange things we have not met.

-I know that, my Princess, and meeting you and Miang Xiang is also one of those things.

-Actually, I…

-Just kidding, my Princess. – Mr. Hu cut her sentence. – You and Miang Xiang are someone special in my life and the Third Prince’s life. Well, bringing to us many fantastic experiences and much more than that, the meaning of life.

-You meant that you love Miss Miang Xiang?

-Yup, I feel that I can freely share everything with you, my Princess. You just like my daughter and you are very kind, heart-felt, and caress to everyone.

-You also make me miss my Father much, Mr. Hu.

-It’s late now, I should go.

-Thank you, Mr. Hu.

“Tian Liam… wake up!”, there was a voice around Tian Liam’s ears. He shook his head and his eyes opened immediately. The strange voice continued to echo in his mind and made him sit upon the bed. Hou Lei was planning to open the door and say goodbye to Mr. Hu.

-My Prince, you woke up! – Mr. Hu looked at him.

-Tian Liam, are you okay? – Hou Lei walked closer to the bed.

Tian Liam’s eyes looked into somewhere far away emotionlessly. His aimless eyes turned to look Hou Lei making her surprised. She walked slowly to his side and carefully put a hand on his shoulder, she wanted to feel that if there was any magical thing controlling him. He turned to look at her rapidly and before she could do anything, he pushed her strongly with the power of both physical and magical powers. Mr. Hu looked at the scene in front of his eyes wordless.

-My Prince, what happened? – He walked to Tian Liam’s place.

Tian Liam stood up and looked at him strangely.

-Mr. Hu, be careful, he was hypnotized. – Hou Lei tried to get herself up.

-Hypnotized? – Mr. Hu surprised.

And once again, before he could react, Tian Liam ran to him and pushed him away making him bumped into the table. Then Tian Liam ran out of the room rapidly and disappeared in front of Hou Lei and Mr. Hu panic faces.

-My Princess, are you okay? – Mr. Hu tried to stand up and walked to Hou Lei’s place.

-A little bit hurt. – She took his hand and stood up.

-Let me help you.

He led her to the bed and gently helped her sit down.

-I am alright, you should run after Tian Liam before anything bad happens to him.

-Okay, my Princess, I will ask a maid to call a doctor to check your hurt and wounds.

Mr. Hu left the room. Hou Lei felt very pain at her stomach, she tried to use mind connection with her mother to inform about this case.

About Tian Liam, he ran to the prison of the palace. The sentries were walking in front of the door of the prison greeted him.

-My Prince, it’s late now, what could I do for you?

Tian Liam did not answer them, pushed them away, and walked into the prison area. Er Wang was captured in a block in the prison with a special rope tying him tightly. Er Wang heard the noise and looked at the entrance, he was surprised when seeing Tian Liam.

-Oh, My Prince, what are you doing here? Looking at my pitiness?

-Nope. – Tian Liam answered. – I’m here to rescue you.

-Sorry? – Er Wang laughed. – Rescue me?

-Yup, and you should save your words for later, we do not have much time before everyone gets here.

-Wait, you are not Wang Tian Liam! – Er Wang looked straight to his eyes.

-Whatever you say, you need to escape from here and remember, I rescue you for only one reason, the Wu magical book.

-Wu magical book? – Er Wang surprised again. – Why do you need that book?

-You do not need to know, you just need to take it to your mind that you must help me to have the Wu magical book. I will find you soon and you will know me when we meet.

-But how can you break this prison and this rope? They were made specially to keep me here.

-Well, you do not know that? Tian Liam’s sword is one of the best swords and it represents the good in this world, so…

-So it can break this prison easily?

-You are very smart, that is one of the points I like you.

Tian Liam raised his sword up and gave a cut to the prison block making it broken down. He pointed the sword at Er Wang and cut the rope around him.

-Now, you are free, just need to remember the reason I rescue you.

After saying that, Tian Liam fell down to the ground, Er Wang took the opportunity to get out of the prison and saw some soldiers were waiting for him. He ran to their place and knocked out them easily with his strength. Mr. Hu was leading many soldiers to the prison area, however, he was late, Er Wang had broken the walls of some buildings and escaped.

-We are late, find the Third Prince, now! – Mr. Hu said to the soldiers.

MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 18: Choices

PART 130 – THE LADY IN VIOLET DRESS

-So who are you two? – Tian Liam asked.

-I’m an assassin, as you see. – The man in black clothes answered.

-I see, and you… - Tian Liam looked at the lady in a violet dress. – I can feel that you’re very familiar. Have we met before?

-Of course, not, my Prince. – The lady replied. – Whatever, you should stop this, Zhang Xian. There’s no way I will be back with you. You’re falling very far from the border of good and bad. You just do everything to serve your ambitions.

-My only ambition is you! – The man continued. – And this little Prince, he is preventing me from getting your love.

-But the Wu magical book cannot help you anything. – The lady said.

-How can you know that? – The man laughed. – You couldn’t even see the words in the book, right? If we can, why should we get the help from our little prince and little princess?

-Princess? Did you mean Hou Lei? – Tian Liam surprised.

-That’s it, my Prince. She might be the only one who can open and read the content of the book now. However, I’m very surprised that you can open the book too.

-But this book is useless, there’s no word in the book. – Tian Liam explained.

-Are you sure? – The man asked and walked closer to him.

-Stop there! – The lady said out loud. – You cannot hurt him.

-You can protect him from me, but how can you protect him from others? – The man stopped and looked at the lady. – You know, when the secret is revealed, there will be a lot of consequences of your guilt in the past.

-I know that, but that day will not ever come! – The lady continued.

-Sure? When we have the Princess here? – He laughed again.

-Wait, you want to take advantage of Hou Lei to serve your bad works. I will not let you do that! – Tian Liam talked with him.

-Calm down, my Prince, you do not even know well about yourself and your wife, how can you say that my works are bad? – The man continued laughing. – I cannot stop laughing, Ah Lan, he said about good and bad works.

-Enough, whatever you want today, I will not let you do any harm to him. – The lady said.

-Well, let us see if you can win me and save him! – The man stepped back and raised his hand up.

-Tian Liam, you should step away. – The lady also stepped to face with the man.

Tian Liam did not know what he should do, they seemed going to have a magical fight. He thought that he should follow the lady’s instruction, it showed that she wanted to protect him against the assassin. He walked back to his room, a little far from the man and the lady’s place. Winds started to blow surrounding the yard. There are sparkles around the lady and black smoke around the man. The man raised his hands up and many small knives with black smoke around them appeared. They were pointed to the lady and he pushed his hand toward her direction. The knives flew to her place by a very fast speed. The lady turned her body around and a thing like a shield appeared in front of her face. The knives tried to break the shield but useless. The man continued to push his magic into the knives but they could not break the shield.

-It seems that your magic becomes stronger than the last time we met, Ah Lan! – The man said.

-And you are weaker. – The lady replied.

-Let us see if you can win my new trick! – He laughed.

He recalled the knives and raised his hands very high. A circle of dark smoke appeared above his head. On the circle, many small animals looked like bees started to form. There might thousands of animals. The lady stepped back and waved her hands in many directions. A lot of needles came from nowhere and flew around her place.

-It looks like I also have a new trick! – The lady said.

They pointed their hands to each other’s place. The dark bees and the needles flew into each of them like many soldiers of the two countries in a battle. Each needle implanted into the bee and made it vanished. The fight seemed to be endless between the two forces. Tian Liam looked in nervous as he had never seen anything like this before. This is a real magical fight, much more unbelievable than the ritual of the Er tribe.

As the needles killed all the dark bees, they stood there looking at each other. He clapped his hands and smiled with the lady.

-I’m happy to see your magic stronger like that. – The man said.

-I must be stronger because I cannot let you hurt him. – The lady replied.

-I will not hurt him, I just need him and the little Princess to help me find out the secret of the Wu magical book, and bring you to my side.

-I already said that I would never come back with you.

-Well, if everything you now have disappears, you will only have me by your side, Ah Lan, just thinks carefully and you will know that no one loves you like me.

-I am sick of your love, it makes me feel bad every time I think about you and what we did in the past, so please, let me and the Prince alone.

-How can I? You know that I only love you and I’ll never stop until I have you.

-You used to have a chance to be with me, but you wasted it and pushed me into this situation.

-Do not blame all the guilts to me! You are not innocent at all, you also hurt other people to get your place. Moreover, you had done one of the most shameful things.

-It was one of the gifts you gave me, right?

-Can you two stop your conversation and explain to me anything? – Tian Liam said. – I am still here and what exactly you two want?

-Okay, very easy, my Prince, you and your wife just need to open the book and tell me what I should do according to the book’s instruction. – The man said.

-You cannot do that, the Wu magical book and the book of Hou Ma tribe contain many worthy things, you cannot let him have the information in the book. – The lady told Tian Liam.

-Well, none of you will have any information in the book, okay! – Tian Liam said. – Because I can’t see any words in the book and I don’t know anything called “the book of Hou Ma tribe”, it might be turned into ash with the Hou Ma tribe.

-One day, you will voluntarily give me the information I need. – The man turned to look at Tian Liam.

He raised his hand pushed a small black ball to Tian Liam’s place. The lady tried to be caught the ball but it was too fast and hit Tian Liam’s stomach making him fall down on the ground. The man took that opportunity to jump up and disappeared on the roofs of the buildings. The lady caught Tian Liam and raised his head up. His vision became blurry and his eyelids slipped down.

-What are you doing with him? – Hou Lei came back and saw the lady beside Tian Liam.

-I’m sorry, I’ve tried to help him. Please take care of him well!

The lady said and jumped to the top of the big tree in the palace, then disappeared.

MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 18: Choices

PART 129 – HE KNEW THE SECRET

-Everything? – Hou Lei wondered.

-Yup, everything. – Tian Liam replied.

-What is “everything”? – She asked, looking strangely at him.

-Well, something true about you. – He answered and took some tea.

-Something? What are you meaning about?

-Something that you have hidden from everyone in this Main Land… oh, and also the West Land, I guess. – He looked at the cup of tea on his hand.

-Wait, you make me confused.

-I think it is time to let you know what I know, before you reveal something to me.

-Tian Liam, your voice is strange, you make me scared!

-Scared? I do not think that anything in this country can make you scared. – He laughed. – You can even fool the royal family and many others. So who is worthy to be scared?

-Mention straight to the problem! – She lost her patience.

-Okay, do not take your time more, you are not Bei Yiu! – He put the cup on the table and looked straight to her eyes. – And you are not the Princess of West Land.

-What are you talking about? – She tried to convince him. – As I said, Bei Yiu is my royal name.

-No… The King of West Land only has a daughter named Bei Yiu, she doesn’t have any other name. I do not know why you could replace her to be the Princess of West Land. And there are many things I cannot explain. But I assure you that I had heard about that Princess and she had nothing like the things you showed to us in this palace.

-So that is the result when you sent your soldiers to investigate me in West Land? – She wondered. – Tian Liam, so you did not believe in me from the beginning?

-Somehow… yup, but after meeting you day by day, your characteristics changed my mind much. At first, I just felt something strange about the girl slapping me in the first time I met her. And two more slaps. – He laughed. – I just cannot explain why, I fell in love with you very early. Like something…

-Something such likes black magic? – She cut his words.

-Nope, a miracle. – He held her hands. – Whatever happens, I can’t stop my heart beating each time I meet you, I can’t stop my mind thinking about you every day.

-Well… - She pulled her hands back from his. – I totally not understand anything you have told me. You make me very confused.

-I know that you’re not the Princess of West Land, and even though, I do not know who you actually are, I still love you with all my heart. You only need to know that.

-Uhhhu? – She nodded her head. – Totally not understanding anything!

-I love you!

-Okay, I know that, and about my identity…

-You do not need to reveal it to me now, I do not care who you are, I just need to know that you are my Hou Lei, the only one Hou Lei in this world.

-Okay, and…

-And I always love you, nothing can change my love for you although that is something scariest in this planet, except you leave me alone.

-Okay, okay… stop making me confused. I think you’re still not good from the time you were captured in the Er tribe, you need to take rest more.

She stood up and prepared to go out of the room.

-Hou Lei. – He held her hands back making her fall down.

He caught her with his hands and looking directly to her eyes. He put a kiss on her lips with passion.

-Tian Liam. – She gently pushed him. – People can see us like this.

-Oh, sorry. – He helped her get the balance back.

-Take a nap, I’ll be back soon.

She took the tray of dishes with her and walked out of the room. He smiled and looked at her footsteps. When he looked back at the table, he saw the strange book again. He touched it, nothing happened. He brought it up and opened the pages, there was no word in the pages. He tried some more pages and saw some mysterious images. Suddenly, the wind blew stronger from the yard into the room. Tian Liam looked up and saw an assassin wearing all black clothes. The assassin was looking at him and the book.

-Do not know that you can also open the book. – That guy said.

-Who are you? – Tian Liam stood up and asked.

-It’s better that you should not know about me. – The assassin laughed. – But I know well about you, my Prince, much more than you know about yourself.

Tian Liam reached his sword on the left side of the room, near the window.

-Do not try to fight with me, my little Prince. – The assassin laughed much louder. – Your martial arts is nothing comparing to magic. If your wife is here, I might get scared of the two of you a little bit. But unfortunately to you, she’s busy in the kitchen.

-Magic? Did you talk about magic?

-Yup, my little boy, there is always magic surrounding you and this world, but your “true” people do not care much about it and think that magic is something very bad. You do not know that magic is a gift from the God of Sky. You don’t know the good feelings when you have magic and control other people’s lives with your magic.

-So you want to use magic for a bad purpose?

-Nope. – The guy laughed again. – For a very pure purpose, you know, love, the most purity thing in this world. Right?

-Why do you need to use magic to have love? You only need a truthful heart and you will have your lover beside you. – Tian Liam wondered.

-Well, life is not easy, of course, it will be easier for a Prince like you, the one has everything serving your life. But no, I have nothing, except my lover, but she was taken over by something called power. And I need to bring her back to my side, and only having the powerful magic ability can help me do that. You do not understand my situation.

-Yup, I will not ever understand.

Tian Liam took his sword out and ran to the place of the assassin. He tried to fight with that guy, but when he reached the place, the guy easily faded in front of his eyes and appeared at another place in the yard. Tian Liam ran after him for a while but he could not touch even the hair of the assassin. Suddenly, the strong wind came again. And then a lady in violet dress appeared, she covered her face with a silk purple mask.

-Ah Lan, finally, you are here! – The assassin said.

-You should stop here, it is no benefit for you when doing this. – The lady replied.

MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 18: Choices

PART 128 – TIAN LIAM CAME BACK_2

Suddenly, he stopped eating and hugged her neck, then pulled her head to very close to his. He looked deep in her eyes and kissed her on her lips. She wanted to refuse him, but something prevented her from doing that, she just accepted his kiss and replied to him naturally. At that time, Tian Liang walked passing the entrance leading to her room and saw the scene from the view of the window. He felt sad and walked straight back to his room.

“What are you thinking about, Wang Tian Liang?”, he asked himself. “You are envy to your own brother and his wife? You need to wake up, she is now your sister-in-law, and they don’t do anything bad or wrong to you. Wang Tian Liang, your brother treats you well, your sister-in-law also treats you well, what do you expect more?”

He shook his head several times and decided to read some books to forget about what he had just thought about. They were the wrong thoughts, he should not ever think about them again. He should wish well for Tian Liam and Hou Lei.

After coming back from the meeting with the bureaucrats, the Emperor and the Queen heard the news about Tian Liam, they immediately ran to Hou Lei’s room to meet him. They had just finished their dinner and Hou Lei was walking back to her room from the kitchen and bringing with her a bowl of medicine extract for him. She met the Queen and the Emperor at the entrance leading to her room. She stopped to greet them.

-My Emperor, my Queen. I wanted to inform you about Tian Liam, but you had a meeting this afternoon, I could not meet you at that time.

-I understand. Lead me to meet him! – The Emperor said.

They walked into the room, Tian Liam was playing with the things in her room. The Queen saw him and immediately ran to hug him.

-My son! – The Queen said with tears and happiness.

-Mother. – He also hugged her. – I’m sorry to make you worried.

-Wait! – The Queen gently pushed him away. – How can I be sure that you’re my real son?

-Mother, why you ask me that? – He wondered. – I am Tian Liam, the fake one is captured in the prison.

-But if they carried out a ritual like that, they could carry many others. – The Queen said.

-Oh… I do not know how to prove to you. – He rubbed his hair.

-And the fake one can also have the memories and the characteristics of the original one. – Hou Lei said. – Mother, you must be careful with him.

-Hou Lei, how can you say that? – He yelled.

-But she’s right. You need to prove that you’re my real son. – The Queen continued.

-Well, your real name is… - He said.

-The fake Tian Liam knew that. – The Emperor cut his words.

-My first nun is Ah Xun. – He continued.

-The one in the prison also answered that. – Hou Lei said.

-Why all of you want me to prove that I am the real me? – He sat down on a chair and looked at them helplessly. – Hou Lei, on the way back to the palace, you said that you believed in me. Why did you change your mind?

-I just think that how can I assure you too? – She replied. – I am too scared of the things the fake Tian Liam could do and he seemed to know everything about the real Tian Liam.

-Okay, back to the question. – The Emperor said. - What’s the traditional cake of West Land?

-It’s a peach-tea biscuit! – He replied but not looking at them.

-Maybe the previous fake one could inform him about this. – The Queen said.

However, Hou Lei suddenly hugged him from behind.

-I believe that he’s our Tian Liam. – She said.

-I also know that. – The Queen continued. – From the first sight I saw him, I already knew that. He has something like the energy around him, and only Tian Liam has this. The fake one used magic to prevent us from knowing about that energy, I guess.

-My son. – The Emperor said. – Forgive us for this small test. We only want to be sure that you are the real one. You know, seeing the scene of the shapeshifter changing from your face to his original face was something too much to us.

-So the three of you have just had a joke on me? – He wondered.

-Well, actually, not a joke, but okay, it’s a joke! – The Queen answered.

-That’s not fun! You’ve made me disappointed. You cannot even recognize if the one in front of you is the real me or not. – He was upset.

-Just because he had the perfect mask. – The Emperor said. – However, we did not make a joke on you, we really carried out a test.

-Okay, I know, I know, you all want me to be good. – He said with a sulked voice.

-Do not be like that. – She kissed on his cheek. – I think you also know how dangerous the ritual of Er Wang was. We must be careful about that.

-Well, it’s late, we don’t bother you two more. – The Queen said. – We just want to check Tian Liam's status, we were really worried much.

-We’ll go first. – The Emperor and the Queen left.

-Do not be bad-tempered at them. They just want to check if you are really Tian Liam. – Hou Lei said. – The fake one made everyone scared much.

-I understand. – He continued. – At the time I was tied on a pole in the large yard of the Er village, I opened my eyes and saw some strange priests dancing around me and Er Wang, he was sitting on a chair opposite to me. After a while of dancing around the fire, the priests cut my hand and got some blood into a bowl with blue liquid. Then they gave the bowl to Er Wang, he drank all the liquid and looked at me then he laughed very loud. The priests continued to dance and chanted something like a spell and I could see many clouds on the sky and the wind became stronger. There was the thunder that appeared across the sky and it reached Er Wang’s place. The priests danced faster and chanted the spell faster until Er Wang’s face started to shine and he looked at me with satisfied eyes. After a while, his face shined brightly and when the light stopped shining, he was already a duplicate of me. I just could not believe my eyes. He stood up and walked to my place, he laughed, then looked at me from top to toe. He got closer to my face and said to me “Your everything will soon become mine. I’m the Third Prince of Main Land.”. He even sounded like me, each tone, each laughing voice, each word he said. Everything just was the same as me.

-That was a very big ritual and he had spent a lot of time on that. – Hou Lei said. – How did you feel that time? Scared of him?

-No, I was not scared of him. I scared that he would hurt you, my parents, and the people in Main Land. But after all, when I knew his reason to do that, it was my scariest thing. – He continued.

-What was that? I still do not know what was his aim by replacing your place.

-You. – He looked straight at her.

-Me? – She surprised. – Why did he want to aim at me?

-Actually, I know many things from the beginning, Hou Lei.
