Li Hua patted Lóng Wei's shoulder gently as his head was lying on her lap. His eyes were on her face. Her fingers were dangled in her hair strands as she caressed them.

"Li Hua," Lóng Wei pronounced her name.

"Hmm?" She met her gaze with an inquisitive expression.

"The battle is going to be intense," Lóng Wei said. "I have destroyed two pawns of the King today," He added.

"I am glad that Prince Lóng Wei understood he cannot stay quiet. I am not afraid of this intense battle anymore. Instead, I want to stand next to His Highness and fight with him against his enemies," Li Hua said and smiled.

Lóng Wei grabbed her hand and their fingers intertwined with each other. "You are by my side and that's more than enough for me," Lóng Wei asserted.
