2. Queen Of The East

Whether Shu Xia agrees or not, she is forced to attend a banquet that will be held tomorrow. She woke up earlier than usual and prepared for the party. The party was held to celebrate the 7 years since Khanh Vy was adopted. Everyone happily surrounded the five princesses and the queen was responding to other people's acclaim.

'I don't understand why to congratulate them on this celebration. Congratulations for picking up out of town? Congratulations on the appearance of a poor girl named princess? Where is the logic? '

Shu Xia hid behind a pillar, she felt uncomfortable about this party. Exactly she felt tired.

Wu en•te li came to Shu Xia's side, "Princess, are you okay? You look so pale ..."

"T-I'm fine. It's just me ... urp!" Shu Xia used her hand to hug her mouth, staggering. Wu en•te li quickly caught her.

After regaining consciousness, Shu Xia noticed several guests looking at her pointing and selling. 'Why are they looking at me like that ...?'

"Are you okay?" Sha Xia approached Shu Xia

Shu Xia quickly bowed, "Everything is fine, mam -... urp!"

"Princess ?" Wu en•te li knelt beside Shu Xia and stroked her back.

They started talking, the whispers grew louder.

"Isn't the princess pregnant ?"

"According to Lica law, the one chosen must be a virgin."

"But she, the candidate for the empress of the East, is pregnant. When she's not at maturity and hasn't been crowned with the great prince of the East ?"

Not only hearing that rumor, Shu Xia could only think about one thing, 'I ... is a candidate for the empress of the East?

Shu Xia trembled. The queen and the emperor have never mentioned this, even Qing Wei. Must she be a virgin even as the queen of the East?

"Seven princess, you don't seem well. You should return to your palace with Lady Wu en•te li."

"Yes, I will do it." Shu Xia bowed.

Shu Xia left the party with Wu en•te li who had been by her side. Every step Shu Xia trembled and clasped her hands, 'Parents never told me this ?'

.

.

"Wu en•te li, am I a bad thing ?"

Today, when Wu en•te li came to the princess's room and she saw Shu Xia in tears. Shu Xia asked if she was an unlucky thing ? This shocked her.

"Princess ?"

"I am someone who can prevent war, then who will be the queen of the East ?"

There is a strange rule of the people of Lica, whoever is chosen by Athena or who is a follower of Athena must be a virgin. The crowning queen means the birthplace of the next generation of the throne.

Virgin and queen. The 2 definitions cannot be fully reconciled.

"That..."

Shu Xia is the god Athena chose, meaning she must be a virgin for the rest of her life. But Shu Xia is the fiancee of the great prince of the East Kingdom, she must give birth to the next generation in the future.

"I don't know what to do."

Wu en•te li faintly guessed the trouble in her heart the whole time. Shu Xia must have a headache because of the constant events happening around her.

"Um ...", Wu en•te li hesitated, "I think the people of the Four Kingdoms all think about war so it's something you should care about instead of being the queen of the neighboring country."

"Yes. I will become the queen of the North Kingdom."

Wu en•te li shook her body. Her hands began to tremble, Shu Xia noticed this and stopped.

"W-Did I say it wrong?" Shu Xia bit her lip

Wu en•te li slammed her hand on the table and stood up. Unbelievable !

"You can't, princess."

"Wu en•te li ?"

"The queen is the mother of all the people of the empire! It is one of the two rulers of the empire! The responsibility of the queen is on par with the queen! It will be accepted if she has her own emperor. Please leave it to the five princesses for this. Please, princess. "

"I really don't know about that." Shu Xia sighed and was dazed.

"It will be alright, princess. You just need to do your job well and the god Athena gives it. It would be a lot better than thinking about someone."

Wu en•te li's warm embrace made Shu Xia widen her eyes in surprise.
