Chapter 20- Xing Kingdom

But I saw no sign of.....her after the smoke disappear.

[No one's Pov]

"She just gone...just like that?"Min-soo muttered. Everyone were shock towards Rika's betrayal. To Asuka, she felt like she had a bad dream.

BAM--

A loud bang could be heard to their left. When they turned to the side, they saw Shin-ah. His left hand was clenched against the wall,"Why..."

[Rika's Pov]

I walked away towards Xing Kingdom with a heavy heart. When I was walking towards the castle, I heard a laughter behind me. I already knew who it was.

Without even glancing back, I spoke,"You..came back earlier than usual." "What? Making fun of me? Why should I do that? And if I leave, you're the one who will face difficulties, right?"I could hear a small laughter.

"Shut your mouth, Mizari."I sighed as I walked away, but....
"Where do you think you're going, mhm?" "What else is there for me to do other than going to Kouren-hime?"

____________

When I entered the throne room, I saw Kouren-hime standing near the window. "What brings you here, Rika?"She asked when she noticed me." "I have something important to discuss."

"What is it?"She raised her eyebrows. "Stop the war."I told her. "Do you want me to just raise the flag?!"

"Kouren-hime, I didn't ask you to surrender. I'm asking you to find another way to stop the war. Kouka Kingdom's King Soo-won..He claimed victory at the battle with Sei Kingdom the other day. And before that, he reclaimed control Kin Province from South Kai, and also destroyed North Kai's Like Hazara's forces. Are you still able to defeat him?"I narrowed my eyes.

Soo-won has decided to suppress both Sei Kingdom and Xing Kingdom, and create Kouka Kingdom that is stronger than any other nation, and that won't be attached by any other nation. But even so...

"Kouren-hime, I respect that you wishes to raise an army to fight against Kouka Kingdom and takes great pride as a princess of Xing Kingdom. Any situation in which Xing Kingdom subjugated is a situation you would never accept."I continued,"Thus, you would launch an offensive. You would likely choose to preserve this country's honor, even if that meant a fight to the death. However, Xing Kingdom military strength is far cry from Kouka's. No matter how unyielding your will is, no matter how noble your ideal are, that is the sheer truth. Surrounded as we are by Kouka and Sei, if a war were to start, Xing's people would be undoubtedly destroyed!!"

She was startled by my voice, but perhaps she was too focused to acknowledge that tone and the fact that I really wanted to stop the war for the sake of Xing Kingdom, she turned her back at me and ordered the guards,"Escort her out."

"You're really...careless, princess."That's the last word before I walked away without the guards escort me out. I could feel Mizari smiling at me from the distance. It will not be long until Yona and the others get here. I'll just do what I can....

{Flashback}

I woke up in a realm where no human exist. What else can I do now...Now that I'm like this...

We meet again, Rika.

The shape of a time dragon appeared in front of me.

"Are you here to take me away?"I faced the dragon,"Am I dead?"

Are you giving up?

"Why would I even give up?"

Exactly.

"What?"I raised my eyebrows in confusion. What the hell is he talking about?

Your desire of wanting to live. Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal- a commitment to excellence- that will enable you to attain the success you seek.

"What are you trying to say?"

Rika, you can go back to your world.

"What??"

You can continue to save the descendants of King Hiryuu. Once you've returned, you and Asuka will obtain a special power. Asuka will obtain Time Distortion while you will obtain time skip.
Time Distortion is a skill manipulation of time. When this skill is activated, the surrounding area is subjected to slow motion effect.
Time skip is a skill of skip time. The maximum time you can skip is 10 minutes ahead. When this skill is enabled, then you will not be caught or touched.

"So we can't use our previous power anymore?"

I'm afraid not.

I was teleported to Xing Kingdom after meeting with the Time Dragon. So I decided to see the others one last time before making my move but...I didn't think I could be spotted that easily. So I tricked them by betraying them using some harsh words. I'm sorry... Shin-ah and also the others.

{End of Flashback}

I wonder where are the others now? Now...They know the future. Should I go to Soo-won and try to stop him? Wait a sec..Of course not! He thinks that we're already dead!
