The Legendary Love Story, Protect Each Other

Weeks passed.

And they continued to see each other.

Then he confessed his identity as the famous fifth prince of Black Empire, Lin Longwei.

He proposed to her and she agreed.

Her master blessed them because it is his disciple's want, it can make her happy. As long as her disciple is happy then he was also happy.

But of course he threatened the prince first.

"Don't you ever dare hurt my daughter!! If you do then you'll face the consequences even if you are a prince!!"

Ming Yue was touched by this and hugged her master and father figure.

Lin Longwei brought her to the capital and let her father Emperor decreed their marriage.

The Emperor didn't agree at first because of the woman's unknown background.

However his rejection was overturned when an old man visited the palace.

It is the famous Martial Artist across the continent.

His name rang far and wide in the five continent.

He is called the 'The Wandering Sage'.

The Emperor welcomed him and throw a huge banquet for him.

The people attending the banquet was shocked, especially the Emperor when the woman who is of unknown background, brought by the fifth prince greeted the respected old man.

"Greeting Master."

Her usual cold and clear voice softened by few degrees.

Thus, the marriage was finalized.

'Such an identity!!'

Who wouldn't want to marry her for their sons with such a huge and respected identity?!

They live with joyously and contented, travelling wherever they want to go.

They are in a permanent adventure and vacation.

Until a war broke out.

The fifth prince came back to the Black Empire and lead the war together with his Princess Consort.

They fought side by side and defended the Empire.

But the Princess Consort died.

She sacrificed herself for her dear husband when one of the enemy's general fired an arrow coated with a very deadly poison.

That time her spiritual force was fully consumed and her master was also in a seclusion.

So, she used her body to blocked the arrow.

She was hit in the chest and was died in a minute because of the poison.

And then she wake up becoming the child Ming Yue in a world called Gaia.

***

A single tear dropped in Ming Yue's eyes as she ended her story.

I didn't manage to recover from the things she said.

"You didn't know but your husband killed himself after you died."

I said it, for her to know the ending of her husband.

I didn't expect that we came from the same world, the Hue Realm.

I came from the White Empire while she is from the Black Empire.

The two strongest country among the five.

And that war was between the two countries.

Green and White country allied against the Black Empire.

I was twenty years old and still an Imperial Noble Consort that time. 

She glanced at me with a rare shocked expression then tears continuously dropped like waterfall from her eyes.

Seeing her like this breaks my heart.

She looks so brokenhearted.

I hugged her and patted her back, to calm her down.

"Can you tell me what happened afterwards?"

She asked still hugging me.

"You're husband was so devastated after you sacrificed yourself to save him. He--- he stabbed himself in his left chest and died beside you.

Your love story became legend throughout the Realm.

The Emperor of Black Empire also buried the two body together and the whole citizen of Black Empire mourned for the two of you."

I answered her question and tell her the things that happened after she died.

"How foolish...

Foolish Lin Longwei"

She murmured.

"I'll also tell you my story YueYue."

"Hmmm."

***

Inside the room, two small figures hug each other on the bed.

The room is very peaceful and you could only hear an immature voice talking.

After a fifteen or so minutes, the voice stopped talking.

The little girl's silver eyes redden because of crying earlier.

She faced the other little girl in front of her with an ink black eyes.

"Let's protect each other."

She said firmly, full of sincerity.

"Okay, YueYue!"

The black haired, black eyed child said happily.

***

Bai Lixue and Ming Ruqi talked with each other like they didn't see each other for years.

In reality they just met last Friday when they saw each other from the day care center when they send their daughters from home to school.

When the two of them talk with each other, they'll forget the time and will chat till one of them will check the phone and see the time.

Like the one happening now.

"My gosh XuXu! It's already nine in the evening!"

Ming Ruqi exclaimed.

Bai Lixue glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it is indeed already nine twenty five.

They chatted for almost three hours and their daughters didn't even had dinner yet.

'How irresponsible mother you are Lixue!'

Bai Lixue mock herself in her mind with her face maintaining her usual gentle smile.

"It's all your fault QiQi! You're so talkative!"

Blame Lixue to her bestfriend while a very good natured smile plastered on her face.

"Hey! You are the one that is talkative since we're still in pre school. I even remember that our teacher awarded you the 'Talkative Ribbon'."

Ming Ruqi defended herself.

The two bestfriend then began the battle of 'Uncovering Embarrassing Moments In The Past'.

Bai Lixue and Ming Ruqi before they were called the 'Two Goddess' of their school when they are in highschool, they are the smart yet talkative and prankster when they are in pre school, kindergarten and primary school.

Their classmates always isolate them because they are afraid to be the subject of the prank of the famous 'Little Devils' .

But of course, in front of the teachers, they are the little angel, the role model, cute little fairy and the like.

'Pretentious!'

Their classmates screamed in their minds when they were being compared to them by their teacher.

Now that they are already considered as adult. They managed to curbed that side of them.

But when they are together, it will subconsciously awaken.

They know each other's nature than their parents.

While cooking for dinner, they are reminiscing their past experience.

In a big bed, two little figures can be seen, sleeping peacefully while hugging each other.

"They're like us when we were still little girls."

Ming Ruqi whispered but Bai Lixue heard it.

She nodded, agreeing to her best friend's statement.

"Yes, they are."
