Fate Teaches Them

If possible, she did not want to be a member of the royal family. If possible, she did not want to be exceedingly beautiful. If possible, she hoped she would have never met him. She only wanted to be an ordinary peasant woman who could live a plain life with her sun, her moon, and simple food. No... in fact, she would prefer that she had never been born. In this case, she did not have to witness a defeated country and countless ruined families. Her sun would not drop down, and her moon would not fade away.

Princess of the Kindom of Shui... 9 years old... 16 as a living sacrifice... the Kingdom of Yun prosperous... Otherwise... the Kingdom of Yun would perish...

Red... red... the color of overwhelming red was everywhere. On the smelly and stomach-churning ruins, there were broken limbs piled up like mountains. Voices of moaning, crying, knives, and swords were ringing everywhere. Many people were killed in this place. In the distance, a battle was still spreading like an all-consuming fire. It's predictable that more people would soon be dead. This was not a war of justice. However, there had been few wars of justice since ancient times. Vultures flew far above and watched, as if they were sneering at this ridiculous tragedy.

The color of red, the smell of blood, and the voice of screaming were torturing me. I could not help trembling. However, I must calm down. I was really frightened seeing the bloody fighting on the battlefield, but I felt more scared standing beside the king.

The king was so cruel. Soldiers of the Kingdom of Shui had almost all been killed by us. However, he still gave orders to carry out a massacre to the Kingdom of Shui which had no capacity to fight back and lost its ruler.

More people were slaughtered. This capital city was once prosperous, but now it was filled with the cry of women and children. A simple word "cruel" was not enough to describe everything.

I was only a 12-year-old adopted son, a poor orphan taken in by the king. It was not my first time to witness this kind of bloody situation. I had no ability to stop such a massacre, so I could only choose to be an indifferent onlooker.

Suddenly, the king touched my head, "Zhi, when you grow up, you will become a general who protects the Kingdom of Yun."

I said nothing but bowed my head. I knew that the king was superstitious. It had been prophesied that the Kingdom of Yun would definitely rule the whole world if this country had me. There was also another prophecy:

Princess of the Kindom of Shui... 9 years old... 16 as a living sacrifice... the Kingdom of Yun would be prosperous... Otherwise... the Kingdom of Yun would perish...
