The emperor of the Qi awaited for some answers either from us or Li. He wanted not to wait for so long, since he hoped we'd fight swamps or leave them alone, out of cowardice. Suddenly, the palace doors opened and came a young woman with black hair messed up from the swamps. She looked up at the emperor and then, without saying anything, she handed over a pendant which said, me and Li had completely released one of Li's family members from the swamps.
"She's coming to get me," the woman whispered. "Or she's more likely to kill me, your Highness. She could be really dangerous?" "How can Li be dangerous?" One of the emperor's servant stated. "She came from the Pearl."

"Take this, your Highness..." Ming whispered and put some rose pollen on the queen's forehead. The queen's temperature began to decrease. She sighed and then, woke up, sat up to look at both me and Li.

"Thanks," I whispered as I bowed down.
"Li," the Queen said. "Come here..."
