Book 19: Chapter 71
“We have to go back and save him… We have to go back… and save him… He’ll die for sure. We must save him…”
Liu Yue sobbed as she shouted at those around her with all of her might. She kept tugging Ying and Daisy’s cloaks, but neither of them turned around. They considered the youngster a disposable. The youngster came on his own accord to die. They, therefore, decided he could conveniently hold the line for their retreat to the ship. The ship was stuck. Still, they could provide Liu Yue with better care on board.
Ying was worried about when they could rescue Vera. Her King was scheduled to arrive with the navy soon. The mission assigned to her as a bodyguard was to protect the four sisters, but she let her King down. Troy might not blame her; nonetheless, her pride would suffer a big blow. She couldn’t accept her failure. If she lost Liu Yue, as well, she’d rather kill herself to repay her King. The youngster came over on his own accord to hold the line, which gave her a perfect chance to escape. She never cared about the youngster whatsoever. She considered him nothing more than a brat who barged into the Imperial Palace because of the four girls.
Liu Yue didn’t want to give up. She desperately sobbed and shouted to those around her, “Please… Miss Ying… Daisy… Please… Please save him… They won’t kill you, but they’ll definitely kill him… Please, please bring him back! Please…”
Ying wouldn’t go back to aid the youngster and neither would Daisy. Nobody would. He was someone they could do with or without. They had only known each other for days. Even humans considered their meeting to be one they couldn’t care less about, let alone an elf. Liu Yue was different, though.
Liu Yue cherished her encounter with the youngster. She went through many things during her days with him. He was the type of young man she had never met before. The boys she met in the past were different to him. Maybe it was because she went through so much with him, saw so much and had the strange feeling that she couldn’t give up on him.
“Liu Yue, have a good rest.” Nona set Liu Yue down on the bed.
The group arrived on the ship. The guards went to prepare the cannons and their guns. Nona consoled her sister. She, herself, was in agony over the sight of her sister crying, but she understood they couldn’t go back. They intended to rescue Vera. If the rescuers were also captured, then all of their previous efforts would be in vain. Nona didn’t think it was nice to let the youngster march to his death. Nevertheless, if she had to choose between the youngster and her sister, she’d choose her sister without any hesitation.
“Nona… Nona… Please… I beg you… take me back… take me back… I… I have to save him!”
