The Crowned Cat and The Fallen Prince

That night, long ago, as the rain soaked the ground, he should have turned away instead of foolishly waiting for her! Oh, why did he have to stubbornly wait for her? Their life was now drenched in the colours of both love and blood. That ill-fated night, he kissed her, whereas she thrust the dagger into his chest, clenching tightly the icy white jade hilt and pushing. As Shufeng watch his blood spilling, he was still more bewildered than angered. How could he possibly bear it: killed by the woman he loved? Untold confusion and fear filled his eyes when he simply asked: “Why?" She wanted Shufeng’s brother as the future emperor, and revenge for the death of her family. Crestfallen and heartbroken upon finding out she had been deceived, Emika is willing to sacrifice everything–even at the risk of loosing her human form forever–to find him, be with him and seek forgiveness. A tale packed with sword fights, lies and betrayal, lost love and redemption, court intrigue, crossing world, stolen memories and; a story of a prince fighting back to claim the throne, and a woman changing into a cat.

Part 5: A Ghastly Night, Another Missing Heart

Would Shufeng pass the closed double doors? The low steps which divided her heart from him seemed distant as the horizon of the western sky.

Emika stretched out both hands and the tips of her unnerving fingers touched the doors ever so lightly. She stood motionless as she heard the loud beating from her chest. She did not dare to make a sound, but was already thinking about what to say when she'd see him again.

Her heart refused to believe that Shufeng would come back specially to hurt her. In contrast, her mind reasoned that if he had murdered his own father, schemed to cover his sins by sacrificing her family, and escaped his punishment by spilling more innocent blood; he would surely seek the deepest revenge against her, since she had ruthlessly betrayed him and stabbed him.

Doubts circled in her mind.

And her heart was sorely troubled.

She felt miserable, very miserable.
