The Moon Light Empire

  Three months had passed since Lian's grandmother's death, and while the weight of grief was beginning to lighten, it still cast a long shadow over her life. Living with Jiang and following Liam's advice, Lian decided to go to the Moon Light Empire and began preparations for the journey.

  One day, Kai, Lee, and Lian gathered at Jiang's house. Lian talked about going to the Moon Light Empire.

  Lian: Lee, after Grandma’s death I know I am not perfectly alright but I want to go to the Moon Light Empire.

  Lee: But why?

  Lian: Grandma told me about the Moon Light Empire.

  Kai: Lian is right Lee we should go to the Moon Light Empire.

  Lee: Okay, but we shall go after a week.

  Lian: A week!

  Lee: Isn’t it okay, should I cancel the plan.

  Lian: No, No! We shall go after a week.

  Kai: He got you Lian.

  Lian: Yeah he got me.

  Lee: Well! Where are Jiang and Leenoi Lian?

  Lian: Don’t you know they are at work.

  Lee: Today is Sunday, isn’t it a holiday?

  Lian: For chefs there is no holiday.

  Lee: Sorry I just forget that.

  Kai: When you are coming?

  Lian: Tomorrow!

  Lee: Where Lian is coming?

  Kai: To the office.

  Lee: Why?

  Kai: To join again.

  Lee: What!

  Lian: Don’t you understand a single thing, I am joining again.

  Lee: But why?

  Lian: as I am bored of cooking and other professions, so I decided to join again.

  Lee: Oh! Have you tell that to Jiang?

  Lian: Yes I did.

  Lee: What did Jiang said?

  Lian: Okay He said me.

  Lee: Oh!

  Kai: Lee shouldn’t we go.

  Lee: Yeah Sure!

  Lee and Kai say Good Bye to Lian and went.

  After a week, Lian, Kia and Lee start their journey to the Moon Light Empire. Kai was driving the car, Lian and Lee were sitting in the back seat. When they reached near a forest a man stopped them and said.

  Man: You can’t go on car?

  Kai: Why sir?

  Man: You have to travel with the horse.

  Kai: Okay, from where we can get horse?

  Man: You leave your car here and can take horse from us, price is $30, for three of you, and one horse is of $10.

  Kai: Can you send the car back?

  Man: Yes we can, give us your address and we can send it there, and how much horse do you need?

  Kai: Two!

  Kai gives money and address to the man, and take two horse. On one horse Kai and Lee sits and on one Lian sits. They start travelling in the forest and talked while travelling.

  Lian: Why we are going on horses?

  Kai: As car can’t go in forest.

  Lian: How far is Moon Light Empire?

  Lee: Not too much, when we cross the forest, Moon Light Empire will come.

  Kai: Lian why are you so silent and tired.

  Lian: It is not like that, I am kind of nervous.

  Lee: You are nervous?

  Lian: Yeah!

  Kai: Why!

  Lian: It is a new place.

  Kai: You went to many countries and many places and you are nervous in going to Moon Light Empire.

  Lian: Okay! Please leave this topic.

  Kai: Okay as you say!

  Lee: Kai where we are going to stay?

  Kai: In the WCIA cottage.

  Lee: Oh! WCIA is in the Moon light Empire too?

  Kai: There are very less places where WCIA is not.

  Lian: I want to sleep.

  Lee: What!

  Kai: Yeah! Sure you can sleep on the horse.

  They all talked like that and after few hours they reached near the Moon Light Empire’s Entrance. The entrance guard asked them.

  Guard: Who you all are?

  Kai was going to say something, suddenly Lian fells down from the horse, everyone there began to laugh at Lian.

  Lian: Oh! Mr. Horse why did you through me down?

  Lee: Lian horse can’t talk.

  Lian: Yeah!

  Kai: Are you okay?

  Lian: Yeah! I am fine.

  Guard: Will you please tell me who you all are?

  Kai: We are WCIA officers and we are here to do some work.

  The Guard salutes them and says.

  Guard: Sir you can come in.

  Lian, Lee and Kai were finally in the WCIA cottage.

  Lian: I am going to sleep, we can do work tomorrow.

  Kai and Lee: Okay!

  Tomorrow Lian wakes up and meet Kai and Lee at the breakfast.

  Kai: Lian did you sleep well?

  Lian: Yeah! I did.

  Lee: So, what is the plan?

  Lian: We have to ask everyone that have they lost their child 29 years before.

  Kai: Why have to ask about that?

  Lian: As we are here to find my brother’s real parents.

  Kai: You didn’t tell that earlier?

  Lian: Didn’t I?

  Kai: Yes!

  Lian: Sorry I just forget to tell.

  Lee: From where we are going to start?

  Lian: From anywhere you want?

  Lee: Okay!

  They start their search, they ask many people but no results, and they all come to a café to talk.

  Lian: Did you get any information.

  Kai and Lee: No!

  Suddenly a girl shouting in excitement came near Lian and hugs her. She was Lian’s very close friend named Liya Mor and she was a princess.

  Liya: How are you Lian?

  Lian: I am fine and you?

  Liya: I am fine too, what are you doing here?

  Lian: Nothing much.

  Liya: Oh I see! Oh! Sorry Kai and Lee I didn’t noticed you two.

  Kai: It’s okay!

  Lee: Yeah! It’s okay.

  Liya: Lian I want to tell you something?

  Lian: Yeah! Sure tell.

  Liya: There is a competition going here, in which there will be fight of different types and some manner test and the one who will win, will be the next heir of the throne.

  Lian: What!

  Liya: Yes! You can participate in it.

  Lian: I don’t want to be an heir of someone’s throne.

  Liya: the King Lucas and Queen Lorain lost their prince named Lomain, when he was only one year old, they need heir of the throne for their empire, that is why the competition is held.

  Lian: But I can’t participate.

  Liya: Who said that you are going to win, you are very bad in manners.

  Lian: I know that, you don’t have to tell me.

  Lee: Lian it will be great change for you.

  Kai: Lian Lee is right it will be a great change.

  Lian: Why all of you are forcing me to participate?

  Liya: Please Lian; just participate for fun, without manners you can’t win, every heir of throne is full of manners.

  Lian: Okay! If you say so, I will participate.

  Lian fills the form and participate and Lee, Kai and Liya sit in the audience area.

  Some boys laugh at Lian as she is a girl. A boy named Shun Longi, brown eyes, black straight hair and white complexion, says.

  Shun: Hi Miss!

  Lian: I am not a Miss, I am Lian Shen from Daejeon.

  Shun: I am Shun Longi from Moon Light Empire.

  Lian: Nice to meet you!

  Shun: Well! What are you doing here?

  Lian: I am here to participate.

  Shun: Sorry! But girls don’t participate in such competitions; they are not much powerful to participate.

  Lian: You are taking me light, I am a WCIA officer not a high school student.

  Shun: Oh! Do WCIA officers take part in such competitions, oh yes they do as their heads give them less money.

  Lian: You are teasing the wrong person.

  Shun: Sorry! But I really appreciate your courage, you may be a great fighter or good in manners but there are many talented persons here, it will be tough for you to win.

  Lian: Who said I am here to win?

  Shun: Are you secretly doing your duty?

  Lian: No!

  Shun: So why are you here?

  Lian comes, a little closer to Shun and says in her ear.

  Lian: I am here to time pass.

  Shun: What!

  A man standing a little near named Zang Longi says.

  Zang: What happened, why are you saying what so loudly and who is this girl?

  Shun: There is nothing, and Zang this is my new friend Lian Shen.

  Zang: Hi Lian!

  Lian: Hello!

  Zang: Why you said What Shun?

  Shun: There was nothing.

  Zang: Are you for real?

  Shun: Yes!

  Zang: You two talk, I have to go.

  Lian: Yeah Sure!

  Shun: Okay!

  Zang went and Lain and Shun talks.

  Lian: Who was he to you?

  Shun: Big brother.

  Lian: Is he participating?

  Shun: No! He is the second commander of the Moon Light Empire army.

  Lian: What?

  Shun: Why are you so shocked?

  Lian: Your brother is a commander and you are participating to become the heir of the throne.

  Shun: It is not like that, if I don’t win, I will become a soldier.

  Lian: Oh! I understand, a soldier, you are time passing too?

  Shun: Yeah! You can say so, but I am not time passing like you.

  Lian: Okay! Well! In which thing you are best?

  Shun: Truly saying I am jack of all trades but master of none.

  Lian: I am good in everything except manners.

  Shun: I can’t believe that you are not good manners?

  Lian: What do you mean by that?

  Shun: I mean girls are usually good in manners.

  Lian: Sorry! But I am not good in it.

  Shun: Well! There is no chance for you to win.

  Lian: Right! But who wants to win?

  Shun: Why you don’t want to win.

  Lian: As I told earlier, I am just here for time pass.

  Shun: I mean, if somehow you win, what will you do?

  Lian: I will never accept that.

  Shun: Why? Why you are here for time pass? Isn’t the WCIA job awesome?

  Lian: My big brother gave me idea to come to the Moon Light Empire, The last words of my grandma was Moon Light Empire and to change my mind my friend suggest me to participate.

  Shun: Sorry! I didn’t know all that, will you please tell me about yourself?

  Lian: I have no one in my family except my brother, I live with my friend Jiang and Leenoi both are husband and wife, Jiang is like my brother, when grandma passed away I started living with them, I am engaged with Lee, and I came here with Lee and my friend Kai.

  Shun: Sorry! I make you remember your past.

  Lian: It is okay, I think we have talked a lot, should we go?

  Shun: Yeah Sure! My lady let me show you the way?

  Lee: It is okay.

  Shun: Lian that matters now is that you are okay or not.

  Lian: I am fine.

  Lee: It is good to hear.

  Shun: shouldn’t we go to sleep as it is very late?

  Lian: Yeah Sure!

  Rang: Okay let’s go!

  They all went to their room. King Lucas and Queen Lorain also go inside. Queen Lorain had many questions but she wait for right time to ask them. And on the other hand in the room Lian was still talking to herself.

  Lian: Don’t know why, I think I know this place; I have some old memories of this place with mom, dad and brother. Why these thoughts are coming in my mind, brother has relation with this place not I but may be mom dad had tried searching them.

  Lian was thinking all that suddenly someone knocks the door and Lian says.

  Lian: Come in!

  King Lucas and Queen Lorain were on the door. They sit on the sofa and Lian sits on the bed in front of them. Lian was a little confuse as she don’t know how to treat royals.

  Queen Lorain: Lian, you don’t have to treat us like royals, treat us as your parents.

  Lian: Sorry! I really don’t know how to do these royal protocols.

  King Lucas: It is okay! If you don’t mind can we ask something?

  Lian: Yeah Sure!

  Queen Lorain: How taught you to play flute?

  Lian: My big brother when I was 7 years old.

  Queen Lorain: How you know that tune, which you were playing?

  Lian: My brother taught me, it is his favorites tune.

  Queen Lorain: How he know that tune?

  Lian: I don’t know.

  Queen Lorain: It is okay.

  Lian: Why you want to know?

  Queen Lorain: It is our family tune.

  Lian: Oh! He might have heard the tune.

  Queen Lorain: He might!

  Suddenly Lian felt a little weird and had pain on the back side of her neck. Lian puts her hand on her neck.

  King Lucas: Lian what happened?

  Lian: I am having pain on the back of my neck.

  After saying that, Lian fells unconscious.

  Queen: Lian are you okay!

  Doctor came and examines her. Lee, Lian and Rang have also come there.

  Lee: Doctor how she is.

  Doctor: She is fine. She is just exhausted, both physically and mentally. She is been pushing herself too hard, and her body finally gave out. It’s a classic case of burnout and weakness.

  Lee: There is nothing to worry?

  Doctor: Yes! I gave her an injection; she will be alright till tomorrow.

  Shun: Thanks Doctor.

  Doctor went and King Lucas and Queen Lorain come and say.

  Queen: How is Lian?

  Shun: Doctor said there is nothing to worry about, she is fine.

  King Lucas: Okay! You all should go in your rooms and sleep and leave Lian alone to get rest.

  Everyone was going but Lee was still there.

  Rang: Lee isn’t you coming?

  Lee: I will stay here.

  Rang: Okay!

  Lee lies down on the sofa to sleep and begin to think about Lian.

  Lee: I don’t think it was weakness, it was something else, will it be because of some tension, not possible, Lian is hiding something, why were the King Lucas and Queen Lorain doing in Lian’s room. So many questions but I can have answer when Lian’s wake up.

  Lee fell asleep while thinking all that.

  Tomorrow Lian wakes up early and seeing Lee on sofa she smiles and says.

  Lian: He really cares about me; this is the reason why I like him.

  Lian goes near to Lee and begins to stare him and kisses on her head and stands up and go back on her bed.

  Lian: Lee, because of me, you didn’t sleep well.

  Lian lies down on bed and begin to think and when she turns aside she sees Lee.

  Lee: You are not sleeping.

  Lian: What are you doing here, weren’t you on the sofa?

  Lee: I was, but now I am here.

  Lian: Why?

  Lee: What do you mean by?

  Lian: I mean nothing.

  Lee: I want to talk with you?

  Lian: Yeah Sure!

  Lee: Did you kiss my forehead?

  Lian: Yeah! I did, so what?

  Lee: You are honest right now.

  Lian: Am I dishonest all the time.

  Lee: No! You are not.

  Lian: So, why did you say that?

  Lee: Leave it! Why were the King Lucas and Queen Lorain in your room?

  Lian: They were asking me about the tune I was playing.

  Lee: Why were they asking you about that?

  Lian: Actually it was there family tune.

  Lee: So, how do you know it?

  Lian: Liam taught me the tune.

  Lee: There are very possibilities that Lian is Lomain.

  Lian: No. it can be.

  Lee: I understand why you felt weakness.

  Lian: Why!

  Lee: You don’t want to lose Liam, you don’t like royals much and you have fear of winning.

  Lian: I think you are right, but I had pain in my back of neck.

  Lee: It is kind of weird.

  Lian: What is weird in it?

  Lee: The reasons I told can cause headache but they can’t cause pain in back of your neck.

  Lian: You should see my neck as I can’t.

  Lee: Yeah Sure!

  Lian and Lee both sit on the bed. Lian turns her back towards Lee. Lee moves Lian’s hair aside touches her neck to see, Lian and Lee’s both of them began to blush. Lee says.

  Lee: Lian, there is something but it is very light and blur.

  Lian: What is it?

  Lee: It could be some new power.

  Lian: But how?

  Lee: There are many possibilities of getting new powers.

  Lian: How does it look?

  Lee: It is light and blur but I nearly look like a crown.

  Lian: It can’t be a crown.

  Lee: I know having crown on somewhere on body means you are a royal or you are going to be a royal soon.

  Lian: If it is like that, I should get cut my name from the competition.

  Lee: There is no need of doing that, you should believe in your faith.

  Lian: How will I, I don’t want to be a princess or something.

  Lee: Who is going to force you, no one can force someone, and it is impossible to force you.

  Lian: You are for real.

  Lee: Yes! I am always real for you, and even if somehow they made you princess, you can say a no.

  Lian: You know, I can’t hurt someone’s feeling.

  Lee: I think, you should not think so much about it, leaves it on your faith.

  Lian: Okay! As you say.

  Lee hugs Lian from the back and Lian gives him a kiss on his chick. Both were seeing in each other’s eye, Lian turns toward Lee and then Lian gives a hug to Lee. Both were lost in their love, suddenly someone knocks the door, hearing the sound Lian pushes Lee away from her and Lee shouts a little with pain. Hearing the shout, the one who was knocking the door pushes the door so hard that the door broke. They were Rang and Shun, hearing shout they think something happened inside and Lee and Lian might need help. Lee was on the floor and Lian was on the bed.

  Shun: What happened are you two okay?

  Lee: What you can see, because of your knocking I am on the floor.

  Rang: How you are on the floor?

  Lian: You knocked the door and I pushed Lee down.

  Shun: Oh! Sorry we don’t know that, this can happen.

  Lian: How you can know?

  Rang: Yeah! But what two of you were doing?

  Lian: We were playing hockey.

  Rang: In such a small place.

  Lian: What else we can do?

  Shun: Rang I will explain this to you latter.

  Rang: No! There is no need, I understand.

  Shun: Did both of you sleep well?

  Lian and Lee: Yes!

  Shun: How is your health Lian?

  Lian: I am perfectly alright.

  Shun: Okay! You two go and get yourself fresh and after that come to the dining room.

  Lian: Okay!

  Lee: Yeah! Sure.

  Lee go to his room and then to the washroom, Lian also go the washroom to refresh herself. Lee wears simple pant shirt of black and white colour and Lian wears a black pant, a white high neck to hide that crown on her neck and also wears black jacket with it. Lian goes to the dining hall with everyone. Lian and her friend talked while eating.

  Shun: Lian this time please eat well.

  Lian: Do I don’t eat well.

  Shun: I mean you should eat well as you lose consciousness because of weakness.

  Lian: Okay!

  Lui: You lost consciousness last night Lian.

  Lian: Yeah I did.

  Lui: Why didn’t you tell us?

  Lian: I didn’t tell that to anyone.

  Lui: So, how your friends know?

  Lian: They care for me, that’s why they know, I lost consciousness.

  Lui: You think I don’t care for you?

  Lian in anger says.

  Lian: You only know to tease me.

  Zang: Stop, both of you Lui and Lian.

  Lian and Lui stop talking. Everyone finishes their breakfast and go to the training room to warm up before the competition.

  Lee: Lian are you going to warm up?

  Lian: No! I am not going to take risk.

  Shun: What is risk in warming up?

  Lian: I just don’t want to be perfect.

  Shun: Okay! Whenever I see you talking like that, I feel you are over confident but you are not interested to win.

  Lian: I am really not.

  Lian: Even if I am not real sister, I have so strong bond with you that I got this crown tattoo.

  Liam: Yes!

  Lian: It means you are a royal.

  Liam: Not only me, you are too.

  Lian: You didn’t try to search your family as you know they will be a royal and they can separate you and me.

  Doctor: Okay! But why you need such a heavy medicine for a tattoo?

  Lian: It is not a tattoo, it is faith.

  Doctor: I understand, but it simply shows that you are going to have the throne.

  Lian: But I don’t need it.

  Doctor: You can’t say no to your faith.

  Lian: Yeah! I know, and you have to promise you won’t tell that to anyone.

  Rang: Lee what happened to Lian?

  Lee: She has taken a medicine that is why she is not in herself.

  Shun: How you are so happy?

  Lian: It is a new question, I am happy as my brother allowed me to drink and he said there is no issue in winning.

  Lian: I am fine.

  Queen Lorain: Why you take Windrontium medicine.

  Lian: He told you?

  Queen: Who?

  Lian: He hasn’t, so how you know?

  Queen Lorain: I am a doctor and seeing your condition, I understand that you taken it.

  Lian: I studied medicine but still I am unable to figure out which medicine should be taken.

  Queen Lorain: Did you practiced as a doctor.

  Lian: No I didn’t, I am a WCIA officer not a doctor.

  Queen Lorain: I didn’t know that you are a WCIA officer, is your brother an officer too.

  Lian: Yes! He is.

  Queen Lorain: Tomorrow is 15 of March and it is our Independence Day, you can call your brother, there will be a huge party.

  Queen Lorain: It is good; we can celebrate yours and your brother’s birthday.

  Lian: It will be my first birthday with my brother Liam and first without my grandma.

  Queen Lorain: Don’t be sad Lian, everything will be alright.

  Lian: Can I ask a question?

  Queen Lorain: Yeah! Sure.

  Lian: Why you two come here?

  Queen Lorain: We like your company, you are like our daughter.

  Lian: No, you think my brother Liam is Prince Lomain that is why you come here.

  Queen Lorain: Yeah! We think.

  Lian: Why, you can’t separate me from my brother.

  Queen Lorain: Who is going to separate you from your brother, no one can.

  Lian: I and my brother don’t like royals and their protocols.

  Queen Lorain: If you don’t, why you participate?

  Lian: As my friends insisted me.

  Queen Lorain: You shouldn’t have participated, many have expectations from you.

  Lian: How they have?

  Queen Lorain: They way we have.

  Lian: I am here just to enjoy, not to win.

  Queen Lorain: Who are you and your brother are?

  Lian: We are Shen. I was born in Daejeon and my brother is born in Moon Light Empire.

  Queen Lorain: Your brother’s date of birth is same as our son and his birth place is same too, he lost his parent and we lost our son, how so many coincidences can happen?

  Lian: Everything is possible in this world.

  Queen Lorain: You said he lost his parents, why didn’t he try to find them?

  Lian: No! He didn’t want to.

  Queen Lorain: He now them.

  Lian: Yes!

  Queen Lorain: Why didn’t he come to them?

  Lian: As they are royal and he don’t want anyone between me and his relation.

  Queen Lorain: How they are, can’t you tell, will you please Lian, stop giving us hope of getting our son back.

  Lian: I never gave you the hope.

  Queen Lorain: You gave, by hiding.

  Lian: Why you want to know about my brother, competitions are happening you may get your heir.

  Queen Lorain: Yeah! We shall get our heir but not our son. Lian you can’t understand the pain of losing your child.

  Lian: But I can understand the pain of losing parents, grandparents, and fear of losing the dear and near one.

  Queen Lorain: I agree, you have lost very much and suffer a lot but why don’t you simply say he is our son or not.

  Lian was going to say something but suddenly someone’s scream comes from outside. Everyone wakes up and go out to see what happened, including Lian and King and Queen. The sound was from the main hall of castle. Everyone reaches there and sees it was Youman Wan, he shouted in fear. Second commander starts the conversation with Youman Wan.

  Zang: Mr. Wan what happened, why you screamed?

  Youman don’t give reply.

  Zang: Youman!

  Lian: He is in a severe shock, throw some water on his face or give him a little shock of current.

  Zang throws some drops of water on Youman’s face. Youman comes to himself and says.

  Youman: I was a monster.

  Lian: You mean you saw a monster.

  Youman: Yeah!

  Zang: Lian, you shouldn’t involve in it.

  Lian: I am just doing my duty.

  Zang: Okay! You do yours and let us do ours.

  Everyone was quite shocked to know that Lian is WCIA officer.

  Lian: Okay! Youman how does it look?

  Youman: It is like a snake.

  Lian had weird visions and she says.

  Lian: Green poisonous snake, with human body, wearing a black red cloak to hide his identity, smile was evil, eyes were green, and hair was of black colour.

  Youman: Yeah! You are right, it was exactly the same as you told, but how you know.

  Lian: It has come here before 29 years, it taken the prince with him and now he came again to take someone else.

  After saying this Lian felt very weird, she had severe headache, seeing that Queen says.

  Queen Lorain: Call the doctor as soon as possible, it is a vision trauma, she need doctor as soon as possible.

  King Lucas: Increase the security of palace.

  Zang calls the doctor, doctors checks Lian and after half an hour, he comes out of the room and says to everyone.

  Doctor: She is fine, her condition was very serious but she is out of danger now.

  Lee: What has happened to her?

  Doctor: Someone forced her to see these visions.

  Lee: Who?

  Doctor: Don’t know, have she ever had such experience?

  Lee: Yeah! She had.

  Doctor: When?

  Lee: Few months before, we went to Mystical Forest, there she had visions of her brother but it was because of some magic.

  Doctor: Same here, it is because of some magic.

  Lee: Is there something to worry about?

  Doctor: No! There is not.

  Doctor went and Zang comes and talk with King and Queen.

  Zang: Your majesty there is nothing in the castle, we have checked everywhere.

  King Lucas: It might have escape.

  Zang: Yeah! It might have escape and what should we do about tomorrow’s celebration?

  King Lucas: Increase the security, celebration will be tomorrow, and check everyone who comes.

  Zang: Okay! Your majesty!

  King Lucas: Everyone here goes inside their rooms and you all don’t have to be scared because of that monster. Tomorrows will the Independence celebration and there will be no competition, you all are invited for the celebration.

  Everyone go to their rooms, and Lee goes to Lian room as Lian messaged him to come. Lee comes inside and sits near Lian on the bed, he checks her by touching her forehead. Lian grabs her hand and says.

  Lian: You don’t have to touch my forehead, I don’t have fever.

  Lee: I know, I was just checking.

  Lian: I am feeling very weird, King and Queen are forcing me tell them, someone is forcing me to see old visions of this palace, really I am out of strength to face this, everyone will be thinking how weird I am.

  Lee: There is no doubt, that you are weird, the matter of King and Queen, should be handle by Liam and the thing you should focus is that someone is forcing you see those visions.

  Lian: Yeah! You are right.

  Lee: Well! What did you see?

  Lian: I see the day, when my parents got Liam and King and Queen lost their child. It was the day when I wasn’t even in this world.

  Lee: Weird, Liam should have such visions not you, this all happened with him not you but visions are coming to you.

  Lian: Yeah! You are right. Should I call Brother Liam?

  Lee: It is good idea, calling him in the mid of night.

  Lian: Don’t make joke of me.

  Lee: Okay!

  Lian calls Liam and talk with him.

  Lian: Hi! Brother.

  Liam: You called me again, what happened?

  Lian: King and Queen wants to know about you, someone is trying to show me some old visions of castle and your past, I had trauma visions, I need you, King and Queen invited you for the Independence Day.

  Liam: Wait, wait, and let me understand all that.

  Lian: Okay!

  Liam: I think it is my fault, I shouldn’t have let you go alone, and you don’t have to tell them anything, I am coming to you for forever, I have something which will protect you from such magic.

  Lian: You are going to stay with us forever.

  Liam: Yes! I wasn’t in your engagement, but now I will be a part of every event of your life.

  Lian: So, where we are going to stay, here or in Daejeon!

  Liam: Does it matter right now.

  Lian: No, it doesn’t.

  Liam: I will come tomorrow, where we will stay, right now doesn’t matters, you take care.

  Lian: Okay! I will take care.

  Liam: Good night and bye for now.

  Lian: Same to you, take care and bye.

  Conversation between Liam and Lian ends and Lian starts conversation with Lee.

  Lee: What did he say?

  Lian: He says, he is coming back forever, he will come tomorrow, and there is no need to tell everything to King and Queen.

  Lee: So, everything is going to be normal?

  Lian: Yes! I think so.

  Lee: It means we are going to marry soon.

  Lian: Yeah! Sure we will.

  Lee: When?

  Lian: When all the problems end up.

  Lee: It is going to take long.

  Lian: No!

  Lian gives Lee a hug and say him good night, Lee goes to his room and sleep and Lian also sleep.

  Tomorrow everyone wakes up and go to the dining hall for breakfast, Lian also wakes up, wear red pant with white high neck and a red coat with it. Everyone starts eating and talking.

  Shun: Lian why you wear such killing dress?

  Lian: They are not killing.

  Shun: For sure, it is for Lee.

  Lian: Maybe or maybe not.

  Lee: Hey! Shun.

  Shun: Sorry!

  Lee: Rang what happened, why you are so silent.

  Rang: I can’t believe, Lian you are so normal, even what all happened tonight.

  Lian: I face such things many time in my life, life taught me how to take things easy.

  Rang: You know why all that happened with you?

  Lian: I don’t know but my brother might now.

  Rang: Is he coming?

  Lian: He is forever, for me, now I and he will stay together.

  Rang: It is good to hear, that your brother is coming back forever for you.

  Lian: Yeah!

  Everyone had their meals and began to prepare for the Independence party.

  In the evening, everyone was ready, and Lian was fighting with the cloths. Rang, Shun and Lee were ready and came in Lian’s room to ask she is ready or not.

  Lee: Why you are not ready yet?

  Lian: I am fighting with the cloths.

  Shun: Why you are?

  Lian: As I said I will be killing.

  Shun: You don’t have to be.

  Lian: But still what should I wear?

  Rang: The thing you want to wear!

  Lian: I want to wear a high neck but in such parties how?

  Shun: I have an idea; you can wear high neck with a tulle skirt, and can also use a short coat with it.

  Lian: Not a bad idea! But what colour?

  Rang: Red tulle skirt, red coat and white high neck!

  Lian: Okay!

  Lee: So, you decided what you are going to wear, you get ready.

  Lian: Just wait for five minutes.

  After five minutes, Lian gets ready and come out and ask.

  Lian: So, how I am looking?

  Rang: Very cute!

  Lian: I am not a cat.

  Shun: He mean you are looking beautiful.

  Lian: Lee, don’t you want to comment.

  Lee: You know you are beautiful for me always.

  Lian: Okay!

  Shun: We can’t go in the party without wearing masks.

  Lian: Why?

  Shun: As it is a masquerade party.

  Lian: Okay!

  Shun gives mask to everyone according to their outfit colour. They all went to the party hall. Guards were checking everyone who is coming, now it is the turn of Liam. He was wearing a black mask, black pant and coat with white shirt, but no tie and coat was open too.

  Guard: Sir! Show us your face and tell us who are you.

  Liam put off his mask and says.

  Liam: I am Liam, a WCIA officer, and I from Daejeon!

  Guard: Okay Sir! Show us you’re ID and who invited you?

  Liam shows his ID to Guard and tell.

  Liam: My sister Lian invited me.

  After hearing and checking the ID Guard allows Liam to come in. A guard also informs the King and Queen that Liam has come.

  Liam begins to find Lian, but couldn’t able, after finding for 15 minutes, he was exhausted, he was unable to find her because everyone was wearing mask. So, he calls Lian, when Lian picks up the phone and Liam says.

  Liam: Lian where are you?

  Lian: I am in the hall.

  Liam: for real, I am here and tired searching you everywhere.

  Lian: How I am going to find you?

  Liam: That is why I called you.

  Lian: Actually, I am lost myself finding Lee and others.

  Liam: I got an idea.

  Lian: What Idea!

  Liam: Break a glass.

  Lian: How I can!

  Liam: So you think too, I can’t think alone.

  Lian: Okay! I got an idea.

  Liam: What!

  Lian: I will sing and play something.

  Liam: What!

  Lian sees here and there and then she sees a piano.

  Lian: I will play a piano.

  Liam: But how will I find you?

  Lian: You know my voice and how I play, don’t you?

  Liam: Sure! I do.

  Lian: Then okay! Just wait for a while.

  Liam: Okay bye for now until me meet!

  Lian: Yeah! Bye for now.

  Liam ends the call and Lian goes to the person who was playing the piano and asks him.

  Lian: Accuse me! Sir can I play the piano!

  Pianist: Yeah! Sure girl you can.

  Lian: Thanks Sir a lot.

  Pianist: Mention not!

  Lian sits on the place of pianist and began to play the piano.

  The other musicians stopped playing, some people say why she is playing, she is good, she is nothing and some are saying she got all we need and Lee is says to Rang and Shun.

  Lee: Here she is we were finding her everywhere and she is playing piano.

  Rang: Isn’t it good!

  Shun: Yeah! It is.

  Everyone one was saying their own opinions on Lian playing, after playing harmoniously, Lian starts singing.

  Lian ends her song by playing piano and then after that everyone begin to clap for her.

  Lian sees here and there and then she sees Liam as he has put off his mask for Lian, Lian stands up and runs towards Liam and hugs him, what a beautiful moment for the two of them but on the other side, everyone who knows that Lian is engaged to Lee were thinking why she is hugging someone else, no one knows that the one she is hugging is her brother. Shun and Rang were also teasing Lee saying that Lian is hugging someone, Lee was quite worried too but when he sees the face of the one who was hugging Lian, he comes to know that it is Liam and then he says.

  Lee: Shun and Rang, the one Lian is hugging is her brother.

  Shun: Oh!

  Rang: Sorry! We don’t know that.

  Lee: It is okay.

  Shun: Let’s go there.

  Lee: Yeah Sure!

  Lee, Shun and Rang go there and say.

  Shun: We have been looking for you everywhere?

  Lian: I was too.

  Lee: Hi Liam!

  Liam: Hi to everyone.

  Lian: Brother, he is Rang and Shun, my new friends.

  Liam: Nice to meet both of you, thanks for caring for my sister.

  Rang: She is like our sister!

  Shun: Yeah!

  Liam: Hey Lian! I have something for you as I told you yesterday.

  Lian: What is it?

  Liam: A safety locket for you.

  Lian: For real?

  Liam: What did you think?

  Lee: She didn’t think.

  Everyone laughs at that.

  Liam gives her a beautiful heart shaped locket.

  Lian: I usually don’t wear such things but for you I will.

  Liam: It is really a favor of you, on us.

  Lian: Well! What usually people do when they meet each other in a party or something.

  Lee: Do some drinking.

  Rang: Eat party food together!

  Shun: Do some talking.

  Liam: Doing everything.

  Lian: It’s good idea.

  Lee: Now for what we are waiting let’s go.

  They all go, they talk, eat and then the King announce.

  King Lucas: Everyone grab the glass of wine to celebrate our Independence and all of you can put off the mask.

  Everyone grab the glass.

  King Lucas: Let’s drink it in the name of Independence.

  Everyone drinks it.

  Lian and Liam were talking and Lee and Rang were doing something and Shun was with his brother as he called him.

  Lian and Liam both had drunk a lot. King and Queen sitting on their throne say.

  Queen Lorain: I think he is our son.

  King Lucas: I think the same.

  Queen Lorain: As Lian said he don’t want to come to back his family, it seems to be true as he is wearing a high neck to hide his crown.

  King Lucas: But Lian is wearing a high neck too.

  Queen Lorain: But why she?

  King Lucas: Maybe both decided to wear a high neck.

  Queen Lorain: Maybe, I wish we get our son back, and if he doesn’t want to come, the reason is Lian, if she wasn’t in his life, he will have come back to his real parents.

  King Lucas: But Lian is not the one to be blamed.

  Queen Lorain: She is!

  Now for Queen Lian is bad but for the King she is not the one to be blamed. On the other hand, Lian and Liam, both of them were over drunk say.

  Lian: I want to ask you something.

  Liam: Sure ask!

  Lian: You should get marry.

  Liam: No! Lian, I can’t.

  Lian: Why, I want that mine and your wedding should be on the same day.

  Liam: I don’t want to marry now.

  Lian: Why?

  Liam: I can’t, you marry first then me.

  Lian: But I want you’re and mine wedding on the same day.

  Liam: Lian I can fulfill any wish of yours but I can’t fulfill this one.

  Lian: I never asked something from you.

  Liam: Why don’t you try to understand me?

  Lian: I have, we shall talk later, I want to be alone for some time.

  Liam: Okay!

  Lian sits on the chair with a glass of wine, she was sitting on a place where no one was, a quite lonely place. She says to herself.

  Lian: I don’t have right to say him to get married. He is not my real brother, I wish he was, if he was he shouldn’t say me no, oh! What I am doing, whatever happened he and I are always brother and sister, no one can separate us, even my thinking.

  Suddenly Lian began to sneeze and it was unstoppable, she goes to Liam and says him sorry and was still sneezing, Liam was also sneezing. Lee, Shun and Rang comes and says.

  Shun: Why both of you are sneezing so much?

  Lee: It is Jasmine, both are allergic to it.

  Shun: Oh! But it is Moon Light Empire’s national flower.

  Lee: What!

  Rang: I think they need a doctor!

  Lee: Yeah!

  Shun gives a mask to both Lian and Liam. They feel better.

  Lian: I think we should go to doctor tomorrow, right there is no need to go.

  Liam: Are you really fine.

  Lian: Yeah!

  Liam: I have a good news for all of you, especially Lian.

  Lian: What!

  Liam: I decided to get marry, you can find a bride for me, the one you say I will marry.

  Lee, Rang and Shun: Congratulations Liam for this thinking!

  Liam: Thanks!

  Lian: You are for real.

  Liam: Yes! I think a lot and then I think you were right.

  Lian: Do you have a girl friend.

  Liam: No!

  Lian: How it is possible?

  Liam: What!

  Lian: I mean, you should have, or you have and you too have a conflict and then you to break up.

  Liam: There is nothing like that.

  Lian: It is very tough to find a sister in law for me.

  Liam: Don’t worry, we shall find it together.

  Lian: Yeah Sure!

  Shun: Party is over, everyone is going, and we should go and sleep too.

  Liam: Yeah! You are right.

  Lian: I am very tired.

  Everyone go to their rooms, Lee changes his room and goes in some other room, as he gives his room to Liam.

  Liam was in Lian’s room as Lian said him to stay there, Lian has taken the bath, she was going to open the door of washroom to come out but suddenly she hears Liam saying a mouse as he is scared of them, Lian see something is trying to come inside the washroom from under the door, she shouts as it was the mouse, it comes inside Lian shouts more and then open the door of the washroom and run towards Liam and then both of them stands up on the bed.

  Hearing shouting’s, Zing with some soldiers come inside the room and ask.

  Zing: What happened?

  Liam: It is a mouse.

  Zing: A mouse?

  Lian: Yeah! Catch it.

  Zing: Soldiers catch it and throw it out.

  The soldiers do that and Lee, Shun and Rang came there. Everyone sits on the sofa and Lian and Liam sits on the bed. Zing was staring them and everyone was silent.

  Zing: Both of you are talented WCIA officers, not even scared of death but you two are scared of mouse.

  Lian: It is scary to look at.

  Liam: Yes it is.

  Zing: It doesn’t make any sense.

  Lian: What sense you want to make?

  Shun: What is so scary in it, you are not scare of most dangerous fighter of Moon Light Empire but you are scared of mouse.

  Liam: Tell you one thing; we are scared of no one except God and scary animals.

  Zing: I understand.

  Lian: What is the issue if we scare from mouse?

  Shun: There is no issue.

  Lee: No one still get it how you two can scare, you two are so brave and a little coward.

  Lian: I know it is not good to you hear you are coward but it is true.

  Zing: Don’t worry, we understand.

  Rang: We all should go and sleep.

  Shun: Yeah! You are right.

  Everyone went to their rooms even Liam.

  Everyone was sleeping King and Queen in their room was talking about Liam and Lian. A soldier had informed them about what happened.

  Queen Lorain: He is scared of mouse, how sweet.

  King Lucas: What is so sweet, he should be brave.

  Queen Lorain: He is brave; he is a well ranked officer.

  King Lucas: Lian’s rank is higher than him.

  Queen Lorain: So what, it is in girls, overall Liam’s rank is higher than Lian.

  King Lucas: Lian is very talented.

  Queen Lorain: Yeah! She is but if Liam is my son, he is better.

  King Lucas: For every mother her child is the best but if Liam is really our son Lian is our daughter too.

  Queen Lorain: No she is not.

  King Lucas: Liam said Lian to find his parents. It is because of Lian he said her that. He wants his family for Lian not for himself.

  Queen Lorain: But Lian is not our daughter.

  King Lucas: Lian is not Liam’s real sister but he still cares for her.

  Queen Lorain: Okay! I am going to sleep.

  King Lucas: Okay! I am too.

  Lian: You all go and I will come with Liam.

  Lee: Okay!

  Everyone go to the dining hall and Lian goes inside Liam’s room. She was seeing here and there but Liam was nowhere to be seeing. Lian was front of bed and didn’t know that Liam was standing behind him. She moves back and collides with Liam and fell down on the bed. Both were seeing each other and Lian’s cheeks were blushing.

  Liam: Why you are blushing to see me?

  Lian: If I fell like that I blush, even someone is a girl in front of me.

  Liam: I didn’t know that.

  Lian: How will you I never bumped into you.

  Lian: Maybe but I don’t remember.

  Liam: Why you came inside the room?

  Lian: I want you to come for the dinner.

  Lian and Liam go to the dining hall and take their dinner, talk with friends.

  Shun: So, we are going to start study after the dinner, is it okay?

  Lian: Yeah! Sure okay!

  Rang: If wish there was a way to cancel the test!

  Lian: You are right.

  Liam: You should at least try.

  Lee: Liam is right; you all are not even trying.

  Lian: I am unable to understand, how to remember all that.

  Lee: Lian the only key to success is practice, practice and practice.

  Lian: Yeah Sure!

  Liam: Don’t worry everything will be alright.

  Lian: Yeah!

  Everyone had taken there meal, so they are going to their rooms, and library to study for test. Lian was going with her friends and brother. Suddenly Lui throws a rose in Lian’s hand.

  Lian: Lui I warned you already.

  Lui: Did you?

  Lian: Lui stop teasing me.

  Lui: You stop ignoring.

  Seeing that Liam was extremely angry, he slaps on Lui face, both began to fight with each other.

  Lian, Lee, Rang, Shun and Zing they try to stop Liam and other students stop Lui, Zing stops both of them and asks.

  Zing: Why both of you are fighting?

  Liam: He misbehaved with Lian.

  Zing: Did you Lui?

  Lui: I was just teasing her a little.

  Liam: It wasn’t a little; you were trying to flirt with her.

  Zing: Lui say sorry to Lian and Liam you say sorry to Lui.

  Lui: Sorry Lian!

  Lian: Okay!

  Liam: Sorry Lui!

  Lui: Okay!

  Zing: You all go to your rooms, no show is going on.

  Everyone go to their room. Lian whispers in Lee’s ear that I will come in a few minutes, you go in my room with Rang and Shun. Lee goes with Rang and Shun. Liam goes in his room and Lian go with him. Liam sits on the chair and Lian too with the first aid. Lian give him aid as he got a little injury.

  Lian: Why did you fight with him?

  Liam: He was flirting with you; I can’t see anyone flirting with you.

  Lian: But!

  Liam: If you were on my place, what should you do?

  Lian: I should do the same.

  Liam: So why you are so worried?

  Lian: If he had done something.

  Liam: What, why will he do something.

  Lian: You don’t know him, I think he is not normal, he know everything about me, and he even know everything about Moon Light Empire.

  Liam: Don’t worry; no one can hurt you and me.

  Liam: Hey! You hand is shivering.

  Lian: I love dark, but I am scared of it.

  Liam: I don’t know that.

  Lian: I never tell anyone.

  Lian: You are not going to understand.

  King Lucas: You both again began to talk cut the cake.

  Lian and Liam cut the cake, and after cutting it they give each other a bite of cake. Lian whispers in Liam’s ear.

  Lian: Give cake to your parents too.

  Liam: Okay!

  Both Lian and Liam give cake to everyone and even to King and Queen, King’s behavior with Lian was very good but the Queen’s behavior wasn’t good at all. But King and Queen were very happy to eat cake from Liam’s hand. Everyone was enjoying the party. Lian goes near Lui’s back, just a little near she wasn’t touching him and she say.

  Lian: Lui I know, you are son of the one who separate Liam from his parents.

  Lui: How do you know?

  Lian: I just know, your behavior with Liam, you have hatred for him, it simply means who you are.

  Lui: You are very genius, what you want me to do now.

  Lian: Don’t do anything, when the competition ends just go away from here.

  Lui: You think I will do, what you are saying?

  Lian: You have to or else you will be in the cell.

  Lui: Okay! I will listen but only half, I mean I won’t do anything until the competition ends, I will do after it.

  Lian: Okay! But I will never let you do anything.

  Lui: We will see that.

  Lian: Yeah sure! One thing stop slow poisoning me, if you didn’t you will be behind the bars of WCIA jail. They will not be generous with you as the King and Queen.

  Lui: How you know?

  Lian: I felt that.

  Lui: You got great power.

  Lian: Will you stop or not.

  Lui: I will until the competition ends.

  Lian: Okay!

  Suddenly Liam calls Lian.

  Lian: What brother?

  Liam: What were you saying to Lui?

  Lian: I was just giving him a warning.

  Liam: Okay! I felt very weird.

  Lian: When?

  Liam: When I gave cake to King and Queen.

  Lian: It is normal.

  Liam: Yeah! Very normal!

  They talked like that, party ends and everyone go to bed for sleep.

  In the mid night nearly, Lian wakes up and go out and sit near the lake. She was very sad, at that moment King was doing a walk near there; he comes and sit near Lian.

  King Lucas: What are you doing here Lian?

  Lian wipes her tear.

  Lian: Nothing much.

  King Lucas: Tell me; consider me as your father.

  Lian: I never tell my problems to others.

  King Lucas: Don’t even to your father.

  Lian: My father never had a chance to know my problem, someone killed him.

  King Lucas: Who did?

  Lian: Don’t worry; he is in the jail forever.

  King Lucas: It is good to hear, now tell me what was the problem?

  Lian: I don’t know myself, not feeling well, feeling weird, don’t want to make Liam worried about me as I am the reason he is away from his parents, they don’t like me, he don’t want them to know that he is there son, I know who done all that, he is here but I can’t tell if I did there will be a huge problem.

  King Lucas: Who are Liam father and mother?

  Lian: If I tell you, everything will be disturbed, Liam said me not to tell anyone.

  King Lucas: I won’t tell anyone, it will be a secret between you and me.

  Lian: Okay! If something happen between mine and Liam’s relation I will never forgive you.

  King Lucas: Okay! Done it is a deal.

  Lian: You and Queen.

  King Lucas: I know that.

  Lian: So, why you asked?

  King Lucas: I just want to confirm.

  Lian: So, you will take Liam away from me, as he is son of yours and I am nothing to you.

  King Lucas: Who said you are nothing, you are my daughter, no one can separate us.

  Lian: Are you joking.

  King Lucas: No, a dad never jokes.

  Lian head was on the shoulder of King and she began to cry, King gives him a hug to calm her down.

  Lian: Thanks, sir.

  King Lucas: Hey! Call me dad.

  Lian: Okay! I will try saying dad.

  King Lucas: That’s my girl.

  Both were talking but on the other side a little far from the lake Liam see everything and after a while he goes back to his room.

  King Lucas: Shouldn’t you go and sleep.

  Lian: Okay daddy!

  King Lucas: You are getting into it.

  King leaves Lian in her room. He was going and then Liam comes and hugs him.

  Liam: Thanks daddy for understanding Lian, I didn’t know she just need a little attention, I am not a dad how will I know.

  King takes him near the lake to talk with him.

  King Lucas: I have guess that you are our son and I was happy that I will get my son back and a daughter with it too.

  Liam: But what about mummy, she doesn’t like Lian.

  King Lucas: She will like her soon.

  Liam: Okay!

  King Lucas: How Lian became so beloved of yours?

  Liam: Promise me you won’t tell anyone.

  King Lucas: Okay!

  Liam: Actually I was used to be a little mad, I left my family to do duty, I gave everything of mine to do the duty, during doing a mission to save many lives, I was severely injured, I was in the ICU of Daejeon WCIA, doctors have no hope, I was in comma, my best friend Oren Jong was really worried about me, he spend his day and night in the ICU. One day he was in the ICU, he heard a voice of a girl shouting that she don’t want to go to the doctor it was Lian hearing her voice I gave response, my friend called the doctor.

  Oren: Doctor!

  Doctor: What happen, Oren?

  Oren: He is showing response, he is moving his fingers.

  Doctor checked me.

  Doctor: It is a miracle.

  Oren: No doctor, it is because of the voice of that girl who was shouting.

  Doctor: She is not just a girl, a WCIA officer of age 17 and she is scared of doctor, her name is Lian Shen.

  He understands he is my sister.

  Oren: What happened to her?

  Doctor: She took a bullet.

  Oren: Is it possible to shift her in this room.

  Doctor: But why?

  Oren: I think because of her voice Liam can wake up.

  Doctor: Okay!

  They shifted Lian in my room. She did a huge commotion.

  Lian: Why did you change my room doctor, I know Kai is not here but I am fine alone there is no need of company.

  Doctor: Wait a sec Lian, Mr. Oren please comes here.

  He comes.

  Doctor: Lian, he is Oren he asked me to shift you here, you two talk and I have to go.

  Oren: Hi Lian!

  Lian: Hello! But I don’t know you.

  Oren: Don’t worry I know you; you just have to give me and my friend a company.

  Doctor: Why me?

  Oren: Because of your voice he give me a response, if you stay here, he will wake up.

  Lian: Okay!

  She was there for a week, she was alright and she left the hospital as I woken up. My friend said me.

  Oren: You left your family, they give you everything but you didn’t consider them your family, she was your sister at least you can live for her.

  Then I understand the importance of family, I was thinking of going back to them but I get the case of Dark A and then I lost everyone but Lian is still alive so I am living for her, I will try to give her every happiness of this world, I don’t want to see a single tear in her eye.

  King Lucas: How she forgive you?

  Liam: She just forgive, I said her I didn’t came back because of WCIA.

  King Lucas: Why did you left Lian’s family?

  Liam: as they weren’t my real parents, but when I realized they are not in this world.

  King Lucas: You just left them as they weren’t your parents, it is not good.

  Liam: I know.

  King Lucas: You should also go and sleep.

  Liam: Okay!

  Liam goes to bed and on the other hand Lian was thinking while lying down on the bed.

  Lian: I know Liam was there, he got his dad, now it is turn for her mom. But how will I do that, and Lui is also a problem, because of being poisoned I am not well, if Liam come to know that he will be very angry. What should be done now? What Grandma want me to do, I wish I could talk with her more.

  After thinking all that she fell asleep.

  Zing: I am sorry, but see the people have expectations from you; they have expectations to get a kind hearted heir of throne.

  Lian: Why me! I just want to live with my brother and Lee, I don’t want anything else.

  Zing: You gave hope to the people.

  Lian: Why everyone says I gave them hope, I never meant to but if I gave it is in my nature to show hope.

  Zing: I am really sorry for slapping.

  Lian: I can forgive you if you keep it a secret.

  Liam: I mean your manners are not a royal and it is essential for a royal person to be mannered.

  Lian: Yeah! You are right.

  Lee: So, what you are going to do next, do you have any planes.

  Lian: I have many and I will only tell you as they are personal.

  Liam: You can tell your brother too.

  Lian: You are making me feel ashamed Lee.

  Lee: Lian I think we should end our relation.

  Lian: Why Lee?

  Lee: You don’t share anything with me, you keep secrets, you make me worried.

  Lian: I didn’t mean to.

  Lee: Lian there is no other option.

  Lian: If you leave me, I will have nothing in my life.

  Lee: You have your brother.

  Lian: He is not my real brother.

  Lee: You can’t live without me, so tell me everything to me.

  Lian: Lee I can’t.

  It was Lui who has disguised himself Lee; he turns back to his original form and says.

  Lui: How you know, I am Lui.

  Lian: Lee will never hurt me and the letter wasn’t on the desk.

  Lui: Great! Very genius, I will love to safeguard you Lian.

  Lian: It is your thinking Lui; I will see how long you will do that.

  Lui: Okay! I am going.

  Lui pushes Lian away from him and went by using his teleporting magic, Lian head strike on the side table and her head began to bleed, the glass on the table also fells down and make noise which make Shun, Rang, Liam and Lee to come inside.

  Lee rushes towards Lian.

  Lee: Lian are you okay, your head is bleeding.

  Lian stands up by the support of Lee.

  Lian: I am fine, it is just a little cut on my head, you all don’t have to be worried.

  Liam: What has happened here?

  Lian: Sorry! Brother for saying that you are not my brother, I just want to ensure the one who was acting to be Lee was really fake or not, he was I don’t know who.

  Liam: It is okay, it really make me worried.

  Shun: Lian you don’t know who he was, so, why he attacked you and pretend to be Lee.

  Lian: I don’t know.

  Rang: Shouldn’t we give Lian first aid!

  Lee: Yeah Sure!

  Lee first aids Lian, everyone leaves Lian alone so that she can rest but Lian stops Lee and say him to stay, Lee sits near Lian and says.

  Lee: Lian you want to say something.

  Lian: First give me prove that you are real or fake.

  Lian: Lee, do you love me or not, do you believe me or not.

  Lee: Why are you asking so, I love you more than anyone and I also believe you more than anyone.

  Lian: Why you believe me, you shouldn’t believe me.

  Lee: Are you again hiding something.

  Lian: Sure do I, The one who came in the room want to know about Shen who send letter and I also know who he is.

  Lee: Did something happen between you and Lui?

  Lian: I think no.

  Lee: You are sure?

  Lian: Yes! Is there something wrong?

  Lee: No!

  Lian: I am happy that you are not disappointed with me.

  Lee: Lian the things you hide, weren’t a danger of your life, you hide them is your personal choice and if your life is in danger and you hide it will not be okay.

  Lian: I will try not to hide anything.

  Lee: It is good.
