Chapter 72
Gianna just flashed him a dangerous smirk before turning back to Chuyun, she generated more force with her hands and pointed it at Chuyun, raising her up.
“Damn let me go!!” Chuyun gritted her teeth as she tried to break free from Gianna’s grip.
“Let you go?” Gianna muttered and let out a loud laugh.
“You think that I should release you?” She asked again.
“You!” Chuyun glared at her and next thing, Gianna raised her higher and threw her across the wall with force.
Chuyun’s back crashed against the wall and Draco just stared with his jaw dropped.
Gianna looked at him and smirked.
“Don’t stare too much, and also try to close your mouth too” she winked at him and went back to Chuyun.
Draco shook his head but he couldn’t stop looking, what could he do other than look?
Xia Meilin flew towards Chuyun who had already managed to stand up.
She began coming towards her again but this time Chuyun used her powers to push her back.
Chuyun’s eyes turned black and some black smoke began coming out of her body.
“She’s using that black magic”
“That’s a taboo”
The Ouze soldiers and guards, even some maids who were hiding because of the war began murmuring.
“Shut up!” Chuyun yelled and waved her hands, the moment she did that, a strong force pushed all of them back.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
The palace began shaking and the floors began cracking.
“Xia Meilin so you came back after all, I was waiting for you” she said slowly.
“I was waiting for you too,” Xia Meilin smiled.
Harmony, who was still laying on the floor, managed to stand up and move toward Draco who was staring at them, specifically Gianna with a surprised look on his face.
“My lord let’s go, I don’t think this battle is for us anymore” she whispered to him but he didn’t reply nor move.
“My lord let’s…
Harmony didn’t get to complete what she was saying when Chuyun summoned some dark creature to attack them.
The creature went straight to them and began attacking so Draco had no choice than to fight.
Well it’s a good thing that Xia Meilin is still alive, let her face Chuyun and save the stress for him so he could face her again, one on one.
This was Draco’s thought.

JADE HEAVENS**
Inside the main hall, the king and queen were seated on their throne, Ling, Shine, Sapphire, her brother and her parents were seated on their seats too.
The only person missing here was Den and the king was getting tired of waiting already.
“Where is Den?” The king asked for the second time and Boi fell on his knees immediately.
“I’m sorry your majesty but Den left the palace earlier this morning and he didn’t tell us where he was going to” he said fearfully.
“What?” Ling stood up and so did Shine.
“Brother left, but where?” She asked and Shine nodded.
“I don’t know, he just ran out and Fen ran after him,” Boi replied.
The king sighed, he didn’t look surprised which made the queen to fury her brows.
“Your majesty, do you know where Den went?” She asked in a whisper but the king just gave her a knowing look which she understood immediately.
He was telling her to wait, he was going to tell her everything after the meeting.
“Since Den is not here then we’ll hold this meeting without him” the king started and Sapphire clenched her fist tight.
She was guessing that the king was going to reveal to everyone about her fake engagement and she was not wrong.
“I’ve wronged everyone here including the gods and I’m here to apologize today” the king started before slowly standing up.
“Some months back I announced about the wedding between my son and the Pearl princess which was a fake” he started and the chiefs gasped.
Even Ling and Shine couldn’t believe their ears.
“I’m really sorry everyone, the Pearl palace and the Jade palace have been good friends for years now. We all know the story about Den 500 years ago, he lost the girl he loved in a war and he became a sadist so we thought we could pair him up by matchmaking him with someone and I guess..
“Enough!!” Sapphire cut the king off.
Her eyes were full of rage as she stood up.
“So what? You faked our marriage just to make your son happy and now that it didn’t work, you are just going to dump me? No way!!” She yelled.
“Sapphire!” Her mom tried touching her but Sapphire dodged her.
“Don’t touch me mom, I’m sick of everyone of you, I will not divorce Den! I won’t!” She yelled.
The city officials, chiefs and ministers were already murmuring on the way Sapphire just disrespected the king.
“You don’t have a choice than to divorce Den Sapphire, the gods had already chosen one of my daughters for your son” the king announced.
Ling and Shine’s eyes widened and the only thing Boi could hear was the beating of his heart.
Was the girl Ling? He was praying in his mind that it shouldn’t be her but what if it was her, what would he do about it?
He just clenched his fist tight as he listened.
The king knew that this would happen the moment he chose to lie about the marriage when he saw that Gianna was still alive, he thought that it’ll be best to kill her just so he can avoid problems like this in the future but he failed so he was prepared to pay the price today.
He cleared his throat and straightened up.
“The gods have announced that Aaron will be getting married to my daughter Shine” the king announced.
Boi released the breath he had been holding.
He was happy because it wasn’t Ling, he knew he liked her but didn’t know how to approach her because she is a princess and he’s just a mere bodyguard.
He didn’t even have the time to think too much when the unbelievable happened right at his front.
Sapphire snatched one of the guards’ swords and began running towards Shine.
Her aim was to kill her, she won’t stand risking her marriage with Den because of these youngsters.
“Sis” Aaron stood up and moved to stop her but Ling was faster.
She pushed Shine away from her seat and sat there so the sword met with her chest, it went so deep that it came out from behind.
Shine, who fell on the floor, looked at her sister with widened eyes and so did Aaron, Boi, the queen and everyone else that were present.
“Ling!!” The queen yelled in tears and the king shut his eyes right.
The gods showed him that this would happen and he could only just blame himself, all because of his stupid mistake.
Ling died in that spot with her eyes widened and it came as a shock to everyone.
No one expected it.
Boi just stood there, looking and feeling useless.
He didn’t even know when a teardrop fell from his eyes and he began hearing some cracking sound.
It was from his inside, his heart was breaking and it was now that he understood the feeling of when you can’t do anything for the one you love just because you’re a nobody.
“Arrest her!” The imperial guard ordered, pointing at Sapphire who was busy laughing like a maniac.
The guards moved to her and held her but she kept on laughing.
“She had just killed one of the Jade Princess, take her to the execution room” the imperial guard ordered.
Sapphire was taking away from the main hall, the queen slowly fell on the floor, she still couldn’t believe that one of her daughters had just died.
Shine also couldn’t believe her twin sister just died in order to save her so she passed out.
“The princess just passed out, someone called the doctor!”

OUZE PALACE**
While Draco and Harmony are still facing the creatures that Chuyun summoned, Xia Meilin was busy with Chuyun.
Chuyun was weakened and so was Xia Meilin but they kept fighting.
“Xia Meilin, I should have known that you were a tough nut to crack, ” Chuyun seethed at her.
“Then you must be dumb” Meilin smirked and Chuyun went for her again.
The fight got even more fierce, Chuyun was already really weak but with the help of the black magic she was using, she was still managing to keep up.
Xia Meilin powers moved enough more and she turned faster than before, each second the pressure in which she was using to control her spot kept increasing so that Chuyun couldn’t keep up anymore even with the help of black magic.
With a strong move, Xia Meilin kicked Chuyun’s sword off her hands then used her sword to slash Chuyun’s face, making sure she gave her a mark.
Chuyun got distracted and Xia Meilin used that opportunity to kick her backwards, she slashed Chuyun on her hand and her waist.
Chuyun winced out and fell on the floor then Xia Meilin generated a dark ball and came for her, she threw it straight to her and Chuyun flew backwards.
“Did you remember how you destroyed my body?” Xia Meilin asked as she was generating another ball and before Chuyun could stand up, Xia Meilin threw another ball at her.
“Argh!” Chuyun screamed and flew backwards.
“That’s right, I won’t stop till I finally disfigure you” Xia Meilin smirked, she began generating more and throwing it at her as fast as she could.
It went on for a while until Chuyun could no longer feel her face then Xia Meilin decided to finish her off.
She created a golden sword and flew over to her then stabbed it straight on her chest.
“You..” Chuyun coughed out blood but Xia Meilin just let out a low smirk.
“Bye bye dear sister” she smiled and pulled the sword away from Chuyun.
Chuyun went down immediately, blood came out of her mouth as she struggled to stay alive but she couldn’t so she decided to just give up.
Her eyes closed and her hands dropped and the moment that happened, all the dark creatures she summoned disappeared off.
Xia Meilin wasn’t done yet, she created another sword and faced Draco.
The way he killed Gianna back then flashed back to her mind and she decided to avenge her even though Gianna might disapprove of it.
She drew out the sword and began flying towards the demon king who looked unaware but Harmony was fast enough to notice this.
“My Lord watch out” she shouted and immediately came to stand at Draco’s front, blocking him by widening her hands.
Before Draco could even process anything, Xia Meilin had already stabbed Harmony straight in the chest.
Draco’s eyes widened and he immediately used his power to push her back.
She flew far away and Harmony slowly went down, he went down with her and held her shoulders tight.
“Harmony, you can’t die” he said hard but she just flashed him a warm smile.
Blushed gushed out of her lips and he immediately wiped it off with his thumb.
“Are you bothered my Lord, do you want me to stay with you?” She asked slowly.
Draco only stared at her without replying and tears came out of her eyes.
“I know you will never care but I’m happy that I get to die in your arms today. You don’t know but five hundred years ago when I got to work hand in hand with you, side by side with you was the happiest moment of my life” she smiled and coughed out blood before slowly raising her hands to touch his cheeks but began hesitating.
Draco stared at her hands and took it then placed it on his cheeks.
“Stop talking and let’s go back, I’ll get you treated” he said softly.
“No” Harmony shook her head and more tears came out from her eyes.
“I don’t want to get treated,” she replied.
“Why?”
“Because I’ll only just get hurt, you’ll never love me and you’ll leave me all alone, I don’t want to be alone, I’d rather die than not to be with you” she cried.
“Harmony..
“Please my lord just grant this one last request for me, let me die peacefully in your arms. I beg of you” she said with a weak smile and from the tone of her voice Draco would tell that she was going to go soon.
“I hope you’ll find someone better in your next life Harmony, you’ve really wasted your time to stay with me for five hundred years” he replied and Harmony chuckled slowly.
“Nonsense! Those were the best times of my life so I don’t regret it, I don’t even regret dying in your arms today. This is the best kind of death I could ever ask for ” she replied and coughed more blood.
“My lord, if I was given the next life and I would chase after you, I would still protect you with my life and die for you because I… I love you Draco” that was the last word that left her lips before her hands slowly slipped down from his cheeks.
Draco clenched his fist tight and refused to look at her face. She had been with him for five hundred years yet he failed to recognize the things she did for him because he was all over his revenge.
He shut his eyes tight and brought his hands down to her face then covered her eyes that were open.
“I’m sorry for making you waste a lot of time in your life just to be with an undeserving man like me, I’m really sorry for not being able to do anything for you while you were alive but now that you’re dead, I will avenge your death” he whispered to himself.
