It was early in the morning, yet the streets are filled with people, running from here to there, busy doing their own task, not living any space for distraction.
“Quickly, deliver this to the kingdom, the ceremony will start soon!” A lady commanded.
“What are you standing there for? Fill those baskets with bread!” An old baker shouted.
“Get out of the way! The king and the prince of Nie Kingdom are here.” A knight announced.
“It certainly is a busy day.” A young man passing by sighed. “Do royal families really make such a huge fuss for just a day of celebration?”
Meanwhile, in the royal palace, a young man, dressed in fancy silk robes, sighed while staring at his reflection. He has a handsome face with almond eyes, pink lips and a silky smooth skin. Certainly, he isn’t sighing for his appearance, right?
“Your highness, it’s time.” A voice behind the door announced, making the young man close his eyes and sigh one more time.
It turns out that the second prince of the Blue Dragon Kingdom, Lan Zhan, will be crowned today as the new Crown Prince.
He wasn’t originally the crown prince of the land, but his older brother decided to step down to his position because he desired to roam the world along with his lover, so the responsibility of the kingdom fell on Lan Zhan’s hands.
He accepted the position for his brother’s happiness, but he didn’t expect that the day of him ruling the kingdom would be too soon with his father suffering a heart attack a few weeks ago.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few days after his coronation, Lan Zhan’s slumber was suddenly disrupted when he felt that someone was staring at him.
Upon opening his eyes, he spotted a bright red ribbon, fluttering in the darkness as the night breeze blows it. He suspected that it was an assassin, but he remained calm and closed his eyes, as if he saw nothing.
Just as he expected, the person jumped down from his hiding spot and begun approaching him, a dagger in his hand.
“What’s a cute bunny like you doing in my chambers?” Lan Zhan said, opening his eyes, meeting gaze with the assassin.
The person froze for a moment, but immediately snapped out of shock and held the dagger above the prince. He was about to stab him, but the door opened and a few soldiers barged in, arresting the assassin.
“Your Highness, are you alright?” One of the soldiers asked. “Fine,” came the short answer. “Escort the assassin to the dungeon but dare not to lay a hand on him.”
“Understood.” The soldier bowed before exiting the room. After the door closed, Lan Zhan sighed, sitting back down on his bed.
“It’s only been a few days, yet someone already dared to take my life. How interesting.” The prince grinned. “I wonder which of my people is to blame?”
Meanwhile, in the dungeon, the assassin was sitting in the corner of his cell, his body enveloped by darkness. “I have to get out of here and avenge my brother.” He whispered.
