WARNING: INAPPROPRIATE MATURE (VIOLENT CONTENT) IS AHEAD.
Tan Xiu's hands and face were stained with blood when the soldier fell beside her. She hesitantly raised her head expectantly, hoping it to be Yuan Song.
" Commander Yua…" however, her words stuck in her throat seeing the person's face. Her body shivered seeing Yang Hanying standing there while holding the bloodied sword in his hand and his evil smirk sent shivers to her spine.
" Didn't I tell you that I will come to get you? See, here I am," he said while throwing the sword on the ground.
Tan Xiu was shocked, wondering why he killed the soldier when it was his soldier.
Yang Hanying saw her scared confused expressions and smirked before leaning close to her, " You want to know why I killed my soldier? Well, it's because he dared to kill my consort. He is allowed to kill anyone for his enjoyment but not my things. You're the sole reason for this war. Without you, this war wouldn't have happened. Other than you, the Tan Dynasty doesn't have anything precious you know. Anyone who dares to touch you has to go from my wrath." he said while brushing her hair away from her face.
She scrunched her brows when he breathed on her face, causing her to turn her face away in disgust.
His words like a sword for her when he said that this war was happening because of her. The guild of this war was making her suffocated and weakening her energy. The burden of being the cause of this war was nothing more than a forever curse that will not free her away from it.
Even though it was not her fault but….she can't help but feel guilty for all these happening. If she had gone through that alliance without any issue, if she hadn't confessed to Yuan Song that day, things might not have become that day. Or if she hasn't met Yang Hanying ever….how good that would have been? Then this war, the death of many people, nothing has turned out like this.
"Don't be delusional Yang Hanying. I prefer to die than be your consort." Tan Xiu spat while looking away from him, avoiding his touch.
He smirked and commented, " Oh really? Ah, too bad. I won't let you die in peace either. If I had decided to make you mine, then I will make you mine at any cost." he said, as his gaze darkened remembering the way Tan Jiahao had canceled their marriage alliance.
He stood up and wiped his hand while his men dealt with Tan Xiu's soldiers who were almost none" Ah, did I tell you that my men have found your family and have dealt with them...quietly?"
Tan Xiu froze when she heard his words. Her complexion turned pale as she slowly turned to look at him and stared at him with her misty eyes, trying to see if he was lying or bluffing...but...he did not.
His eyes, that confidence in those eyes were telling everything. Soon, a soldier walked to him and passed him a box.
Yang Hanying took the box and smirked at her while holding it.
" Do you know what it is? You must be thinking that I am bluffing right? See, I even brought evidence for you to see." he said while opening the box slowly.
" Ahhhh…" she cried in agony seeing the contents inside the box.
There were two bloodied hands in the box, one seems to be of a woman and the other of a man. Although she only glanced at it briefly, she was sure that it was her...parents.
The rings on the hands were the rings that were passed onto the generations and were a symbol of royal power which can be only worn by Tan Dynasty's Emperor and Empress.
Tears flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably as she tried to breathe while trying to ignore this bloody pungent smell. The fact that it was her parent's hands made it worse for her. She turned to the side and puked due to the bloody pungent smell.
She never thought that she would lose her parents this way. This was the most horrible way for someone to lose their loved ones. In a single moment, her whole life has turned upside down.
Yang Hanying looked at her pale expressions and felt uncomfortable seeing her in this state. But the monster inside him refused to pity her. He smirked and said, " I wanted to bring their heads at first but I thought it would be too much for you. So I just asked them to bring their hands. I did the right thing right?" he asked while grinning, looking at her as if she will compliment him for his thoughtfulness.
Tan Xiu wailed while clutching her chest which was hurting as if someone had stabbed her multiple times.
" Father….Mother…." she sniffled while calling their names and remembered how her father canceled this marriage just for her sake.
Yang Hanying's expressions darkened as he turned to his men, " Capture this palace. Also, prepare to leave for the Yang Dynasty. We're going back. The war is over, let's go."
Tan Xiu who was crying stopped and looked at him in horror.
" Who said the war is over? The eastern and western borders are still in the tussle. And even if you capture the palace, it doesn't mean that the war is over. You...you can't do that." She shouted while looking at his disgusted face.
Yang Hanying scoffed seeing how confident she looks.
" Ah, seems like you don't know. The war is over Princess Tan Xiu. The eastern and western borders have been captured by my men already. Looks like you haven't got the news yet." he smirked.
Her face turned white as a sheet as she tried to settle his words in her mind. War has ended? But Yuan Song...
" How can it end? Brother Yuan Song was at the eastern border….with him the war cannot end." she cried, while her hands trembled in fear.
Yang Hanying's expressions darkened when he heard her call that man brother. " Hah. Since the borders can't be captured with him there, we removed him from our way. We have to say that Yuan SOng was quite strong but in the end, he lost it with our manpower and advanced weapons. Tsk. Tsk. If he had worked for us, he would have become a successful commander but...he chose to be with losers." he shook his head and sighed weakly in disappointment.
"-_-"
Tan Xiu felt her breath stuck in her throat as everything seemed to be spinning. She closed her eyes and slowly fell into the pit of darkness, as her body slumped on the ground.
