The King and the shadow guard

Qing dynasty, 5th October
The mighty sun and the moon overlapped
Blackening the whole Qing empire in holy darkness.

The 11 year old prince of Qing was in critical state where his underlying cause was not detected. Insider gossips said the darkness of Qing dynasty will be overcome only if someone ascended the currently empty throne. However the prince in unconscious state for more than two weeks after a serious unidentifiable illness. The royal maids and eunuchs are wailing around the prince as they might get buried under 6 feet together with the prince.

Above the crying crowd, the face of man with the black mask in black attire says the opposite. Never in his life, did he pray to god either for himself or his family which is because they were already deceased. Now his unconsciousness is praying his master would return to his life not because he wants to survive but because of his loyalty. As if the god hears his one in a lifetime wish, the formerly unconscious prince frowned and slowly opened his eyes saying " Bro Ma, why the hell are you crying in this holy morning?"
