Chapter 274: The King's Past

If Mu Ying's memory serves her correctly, the princess from the Thorny Kingdom was born 18 years ago, the same age as Mu Ying. At that time, the curse had only recently begun to afflict Ferena as well.

Moreover, within two years, the thorns started to mutate, and everyone who could flee the Thorny Kingdom did, leaving those of the Royal Family who were heavily targeted by the curse trapped inside the Royal Palace. Five years ago, the thorns even spread to the borders of the Thorny Kingdom, so it's unlikely that Ferena had much of an opportunity to see the Thorn Princess.

Was their connection really that strong? Strong enough for him to risk his life to save someone he had never met? Even a fiancée wouldn't be that important, would she?

That's what Mu Ying thought, and so she asked.

"I haven't seen her, but this is my responsibility, my mission bestowed by the heavens. Only my kiss can awaken her and restore the Thorny Kingdom to its former state," Ferena declared confidently.
