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.

The Day Emperor Akishino Died - Part 24: A random hedgehog

"Sister, I've nothing against the Second Prince, you understand. But he is... Now, how can I put this? But his reputation is very much prickly. To associate with him would be exactly the same as trying to hug a hedgehog. You'd harm yourself and you would be inviting endless trouble."

She pulled a face. Prickly? She gazed to one side, playing back a memory in her mind. "Last spring I thought about keeping a hedgehog as a pet, only to hurt myself trying to catch one." She winced, then she giggled: "Yes, don't try to hug a hedgehog for they do have strong and sharp spines."

She shook her head vigorously while she made a hand chopping gesture.  "Those animals can't be tamed! Can't be tamed!"

The next moment, she thought of Shufeng because he once taught her some facts about hedgehogs. She then babbled away, oblivious to the discomfited expression on her brother's face.
