Kingese Protect Me Go Go Go

All the royal children made their ascent at a speed that was neither slow nor fast. The crown prince Bai Weijie was leading the way, but their formation began to change once they reached the halfway point.

At the middle point of the mountain's staircase, there was a stone tablet. Upon it was inscribed, "Travel half the mountain, thinking like a sword." Han Sen didn't know what it meant, but once they passed by the tablet, everyone started to speed up. Prince Four and Princess Two went past the crown prince Bai Weijie. Other royal children started to pull away, as well. The group began to spread out into ragged clumps of hikers, so it wasn't as tidy as it had been before the halfway point.

The King's Kingdom nobles that had been watching half-heartedly now looked wide awake. They paid attention to the two deified royal children, of course, but many of them were just as focused on Han Sen.
