Keep your secret, Princess

Prince Huang instructed the group to stop. He reached into his bag and pulled out a compass. After making sure they were going in the right direction, he ordered the group to get back on their feet. Prince Huang was at the front with two soldiers. They had already entered the border area. He looked around the forest. This silence felt strange. Even though it was midday, he had to be careful.

After a while, a group of people stormed out. They were shabbily dressed with guns in their hands.

The troop of soldiers immediately protected the carriage, while the others clashed with the bandits. The bandits targeted the carriage. So they fought brutally and made several soldiers injured.

Inside the carriage, Yue heard the sound of weapons clashing. She wanted to open the window but then fell backward from the shock of the carriage.

Prince Huang slashed the neck of a bandit, then looked back. His feet ran as fast as the wind when he realized the carriage had been ambushed. Prince Huang swung his sword. With that, the bandits were injured and eventually surrendered. They ran away into the forest.

"Princess, are you all right?" asked the Prince.

Yue answered, "I'm fine."

As a result of the attack, the trip stalled. Those who should have arrived in the southern kingdom's territory in the afternoon were forced to stop and set up a tent at the end of the forest.

The uninjured soldiers treat the wounded soldiers. Meanwhile, Prince Huang was alone by the lake. He refused to be treated. He wanted to do meditation to heal his wounds.

He chose a large rock for meditation. His hands circled up, then sat on both knees. A few seconds passed, and Prince Huang stopped. His hand pressed against the pain in his waist. It oozes black blood. The bandits' attacks were aimed at killing using poison.

Unwilling to give up, Prince Huang resumed his meditation.

Meanwhile, the wounded soldiers groaned at the campsite as the poison ran through their bodies. They screamed in pain and their voices made Yue open the window.

Yue fell silent watching the good people who gave her good food lying in pain. Some were bleeding while screaming. Yue couldn't help but be silent. She opened the door and stepped into the tents. People immediately noticed her because of Yue's hair and eye color. The girl took off her hood so all eyes could see her face.

Yue approached the soldier who was vomiting blood. She extended her hands toward the soldier's neck. Everyone gasped because they thought Yue would strangle the patient. After that, they were amazed to see white light emitting from Yue's hands. Then, the soldier gradually improved. In the blink of an eye, the soldier could already breathe normally.

"What's that?"

"How could that be?"

"Her hands emit a light that heals him."

"Princess, can you help him?" asked a soldier, pointing to his friend who was going to the afterlife.

Yue stepped quickly. Just like before, she reached out and a white light appeared. Instantly the soldier recovered.

"It's a miracle!"

"The princess heals the sick."

"Princess, please help me."

"Princess, please save his life."

In an instant, the soldiers believed Yue. Rumors that the girl was a curse were gravely false. Yue is an angel who came to earth to protect humans.

Yue sat on the carriage with a long sigh. She was happy because she was useful to the soldiers. They thanked her over and over again. They also said that Yue was a blessing. "I, I'm not a curse," Yue whispered breathlessly.

"Princess."

A soldier approached Yue. He gave a bag of water to the girl through the window. Yue accepted it and downed its contents.

"Thanks for your help, but you better not carelessly save people."

"In this world, there are people who use cordiality for wickedness. I hope, Princess does not show your power to anyone. Let us know and swear to keep your secret for life," he explained.

Yue couldn't answer. The soldier's words were the same as her nanny's saying that this power could be used by wicked people.

"Thank you," said Yue.

When Prince Huang returned. the soldier who was with Yue left, while Yue closed the window. The other soldiers pretended they were still sick.

Prince Huang observed the wounded soldiers one by one. The poison does not kill immediately but makes the sufferer sick for several days.

"Everyone, listen! Tomorrow we are going to the nearest village to find a healer."

"All right, Prince!"

Prince Huang nodded. His head turned toward the carriage. Yue did not peek in the window. Could the girl be okay? Prince Huang was going there, but a soldier called out to him.

"Prince, for dinner, the unharmed soldiers will go hunting. Please rest in the tent."

"Okay." After answering, Prince Huang did not leave immediately. His gaze was fixed on the carriage. It was possible that Yue was in shock or fear right now.

However, Prince Huang immediately threw away his curiosity. It's a shame he's attracted to someone's wife. Finally, he went to the tent.

When Prince Huang was far away, Yue opened the window. She wanted to treat him, but the soldier told her not to carelessly help people. However, Prince Huang was a good person. Yue didn't know what to do. She closed the window and decided to skip dinner.
