Igniting the Love (A Monkie Kid Story)

Chapter 8

(I've been scheming. I wanted to upload this yesterday... But here it is now! Sorry for the big long wait guys! qwq )

Their queen was anxiously tapping her leg with her hands. They all stared at the closed door of the common room, waiting patiently for the incoming guest to arrive.

"Where's Spindrax? I haven't seen her at dinner or at breakfast at all!" Their queen abruptly said, probably to distract herself at the meantime.

The two spider demons, Goliath and Huntsman gave each other knowing looks.

Before the two could answer her, they were shortly interrupted by the sound of the door opening.

Syntax guided the two expected guests. Báigǔ Fūrén and Shì Zhǎng.

"Greetings Zhīzhū jīng."

"Lady White Bone, Mystic M. What brings you to my lovely palace?"

With a thud, Shì Zhǎng set down a scroll on top of the table.

The scroll opened, revealing a blueprint.

"..Wha-what is this...for?" The Spider Queen uttered in fear.

The image on front of them was hard to take in.

"Sister. Don't you wish to take back what was rightfully yours?"

Zhīzhū jīng looks up, "I.. This kingdom of mine is all I want. Nothing more."

Báigǔ Fūrén's face did not falter at her response.

"Megapolis. Flower Fruit Kingdom. You've fought for it. You had rightfully earned those kingdoms. It was yours. You ruled those kingdoms. Have you forgotten that?"

The spider demon looks down, "no... I did not."

Lady White Bone walks towards her, and took her hands.

"You weren't the Spider Queen. You were the Spider Queen. They had taken everything from you. Now... You're sitting here, ruling your so-called kingdom without a care in the world of what they have done to you."

Zhīzhū jīng bit her lower lip. Her sister was not wrong, but not right either. She had built a strong relationship from her once enemies. Having subjects living in fear... it wasn't right, but it was quite entertaining at the start.

"I have changed sister. I was not the same person as I was before-"

"So you have forgiven their faults. The fact that they had hurt you; that they had took something from you; that they had given you the inability to ever use your legs again."

The minions of the Spider Queen flinched at Lady Bone's last sentence. After all, that was a very sensitive topic for their queen.

Zhīzhū jīng face hardened, "now that's something I haven't gotten to forgive them about."

Báigǔ Fūrén smiled, letting go of the spider demon's hand. "They have done a lot of people wrong. Together, we shall forge a new world."

"Now I'm listening. What have you got from that thick skull brain of yours?"

. . .

The dragon and the bull walked together on the streets of Megapolis, making small chat with one another. Along the way, Mei occasionally greet the people who happens to pass by.
