The Promise

Diversion

     The kitchen of the castle is on flames Shen Wei  and the others  went back to check  on his queen if his safe.

    As he thought that  Lin Jing is Yunlan who cover up with the blanket, he suddenly  felt relax as his other brothers went to the kitchen to take out the fire. When they see the source of it, "Strange?! Why is their a candle in the kitchen?" Shen Wei  said. Suddenly  they heard scream outside. "Zhuiji! We  forgot about him!" Yezun said.

    They suddenly  teleport only to see ashes  of their brothers. Not only Zhuiji is been killed but one of his brothers as well and Da quing  is missing.

    In the  meantime outside the wall of the kingdom Yunlan brought Da quing  to the rebels with Zhu Hong as their leader. "Who are you? I want to thank you for rescuing me!" Da quing  ask. Yunlan with a hood and a mask on just nod and given Da quing  to Zhu Hong.
"Funny your once one of the gods but now your just a mere human like us! Please take care of him!" Said Yunlan.

    But before he leave, "Who are you?! How you know this place and me?!" Ask Zhu Hong.  "My name I cannot given to you! Nor my identity! But the sword told me everything  about you and this place!" As he leave immediately.

    In the castle  Shen Wei  and his brothers was scolded by his father. As his father was talking to them. Shen Wei  notice  someone  running through the bushes. As he excuse himself to his father and brothers.

    Yunlan running  toward the back door of the castle as he saw Shen Wei  opening it. He backaway a little forgetting  theres a pool beside him. He suddenly  fell in the water with a splash.

     Shen Wei  run toward it only to see Yunlan whose only in his inner clothes and all wet. "Xiao Lan! What are you doing in the pool?! It's  pretty late  and cold outside?! You will catch a cold!Where  are your servants anyhow?!" He ask.  As he pulled  Yunlan out of the pool and cover him up with  his robe.
He suddenly  notice  on one of Yunlan's  legs a sword wound but it quickly healed.

    "Whatta?! Only gods can heal like that?!" He didn't  say anything to him but only  lift him up toward their room.
"Xiao Wei! I can walk by myself!" Said Yunlan. "We need to talk but not here!" He angrily said. But they almost bumped  into one of his brothers. Luckily  they portal back to their room.

      Lin Jing jump in surprise, "I see...?" Said Shen Wei.  Lin Jing bow in fright, Yunlan jump from his hold. "Please Xiao Wei! It's  my fault don't  whip Lin Jing!" As he block Lin Jing. "You get out! I need to speak with my queen!" He shout. Lin Jing quickly ran outside.

    "You! Get change now!" Shout Shen Wei.  As Yunlan change his clothes and quickly came back to his furious king. "Tell me! Are you the one where trying to find?" He whispered  to him. Yunlan can't  look at Shen Wei  as he unconciously hold his stomach. Shen Wei  is frustrated  as he wanted to shout.

     If his father and brothers  found out about it, Yunlan will be killed. "Yunlan took everything you need! You will leave the castle immediately!" Said Shen Wei.  "But what about you?! I don't  want to leave  you!" Pleaded  Yunlan.  "Just do what I say! And bring Lin Jing and Guo just go!"

   In a moment  Shen Wei  made a portal to his hidden house away from his father and brothers. Yunlan kiss Shen Wei  for the last time, "I'm sorry I made a mess!" As he cried in his embrace. Before he was pushed  by Shen Wei  with his friends at the portal and disappeared  forever.

    Chu his brother was first to know because his slave is missing and confront Shen Wei.  "They are gone forever!" As Shen Wei  cried on his knees. Chu can't  understand what's  happening  to him. But when his father confront him.

    "Tell me my son, where  is your queen? Where is he?!" He shout. "I already got rid of him! You'll never gonna see him again!" Suddenly  his father slapped  him. "What have you done! I gave you everything! And this is what you repay me for! Tell me why did you get rid of him? He have your child?!" His father look suspicious  on him. While his brothers look puzzle on why Shen Wei  done that. They know he love Yunlan very much not to kill him.

    Then suddenly  his father think, "Yunlan? It can't  be?! Is he the hero that were trying to find?! Answer me!" As he clutches Shen Wei's  robe. Shen Wei  can't  look at his father.

    In the other hand, Yunlan and his friends was surprised  on where Shen Wei  place them. It's  near the village where Zhu Hong live. "Yunlan what's  going on?! Why the king thrown us here?! Did you displease him or something?" Ask Guo. "Your our hero, are you?!" Lin Jing ask. Guo was shocked. "Yunlan! How?"

    The sword suddenly  emerge from Yunlan's  chest. "Yes I am! But I paid the price for being a hero..... I  lost my precious Shen Wei  again!" As he dropped  his sword and cry. Lin Jing and Guo comfort Yunlan. As they know how long Yunlan waited for Shen Wei  to come back to him. "Please  don't  be depressed it's  not good for your unborn child! Will find a way to get your Shen Wei  back!" Said Lin Jing.

     "We will take care of you until then! We are your friends!" Said Guo. "For now you need to rest for awhile. As for us Guo will take care of you here! While me, I will find foods for us!" As they lead Yunlan to a big room to rest.

   While back to the castle, Shen Wei  was strip of being a king and his god's power. He is now an ordinary human and been sent to prison. "You will rot there  for eternity until you tell me where you hid your husband! Don't  bring him anything to eat!" He told  to his other sons. As they left him to the dark dungeon. "Yunlan! I hope your safe and our unborn child." As he sit at the cold corner of the dungeon. The locket that he gave to Yunlan suddenly  break into many pieces  and disappeared. As he have no more power over him. "Xiao Wei!" Yunlan look worried as the locket disappeared  forever.
