"STOP!"
The sword that was about to hit Second Prince Li Fang Ye's neck instantly came to a halt upon hearing that cry from someone.
The cry was so loud and bold that the people around the owner of the voice spontaneously held their breath. Quite afraid to imagine how Emperor Li would act after this.
The people who all heard it immediately turned to the origin of the voice. Including the Second Prince who was also stunned. There was gratitude in his heart, as the executioner's sword-eye was carried away from his neck.
"Emer, thank you." she said in her heart.
As the owner of the voice and the perpetrator just looks ordinary, it is precisely at this time he is staring deeply, flat, and seriously at the owner of the eye who is now returning his gaze.
They are a married couple who will soon be separated. Reychu as the perpetrator and Emperor Li as the observer.
He stared flatly and disliked Reychu's actions that stopped the execution process for Second Prince Li Fang Ye. He felt that Reychu was defending his brother who had betrayed him.
A bit of jealousy surged from his heart along with the trauma of betrayal he had recently felt.
"Don't interfere, Reychu!" hiss Emperor Li was not pleased. The mood has been from yesterday is not good, now Reychu like he does not care about his situation. Although he had started to love this girl in front of him, but since the current situation was not good, Emperor Li could only ignore that.
At least, as much as possible he did not hurt the girl again.
That's enough first. He doesn't want any more.
"Intermed? Nah! I'm not interfering. But, being eager to straighten out the wrong part in the matter this time." his jade was brave. "Think carefully, Your Highness the venerable Emperor Li! In that case, Second Prince Li Fang Ye was also a victim. I'm sure you already know all those facts from your subordinates who lightning-fastly investigated all of them for you. So, you should have known that the Second Prince would not betray you if he had not been constantly seduced by the recently dead woman." the symbol while pointing his thumb towards the execution stage, precisely towards the corpse of Gong Dahye who was still lying up there with the bodies of his father and brother.
The Fire Nation's ruling man silently confirmed that he already knew the truth. Indeed, not entirely his sister was blamed. Because, according to an explanation from a reliable source, his sister had stayed away from his concubine. But, basically the woman was too terrible to dare to play with fire by dragging and her sister.
Even so, it does not mean that his heartache can be paid only by doing so. It hurts too much.
"And again... If the Second Prince dies who will take care of the baby? I doubt you'll still take care of it after knowing all this. Moreover, the Second Prince's wife... Maybe she suddenly lost her sanity and went crazy for not accepting the loss of her husband. You want to take care of the crazy ones too?" it's relaxing with a little tearing.
Reynolds was always happy to do it.
The atmosphere suddenly froze like in the lunge of an ice storm with the lowest temperature of the lowest.
Puk!
Rayan on the other hand could only pat her forehead tired and resigned. His best friend was so self. There's no point in preventing his mouth from having a key.
"Let's die!" his murmur could still be heard by Ryura who was standing still next to him. Even so, he also saw the action of Reychu who was there.
"He's so reckless! What if our departure is delayed or can't even go at all?! I'll beat him up! Fuck up! It could be messing up!" rayan grunts are non-stop. He was made by his best friend Reychu.
Despite his frustration, a single word that came out of Ryura's mouth stopped his behavior.
"Nothing will happen!" his calm voice combined with an expressionless face should make anyone who hears it can not just believe, but as a friend who has gone through the ups and downs and bitter sweetness of life since long ago together, but as a friend who has gone through the ups and downs and bitter sweetness of life since long ago together, he certainly did not need to doubt the ability of his best friend.
"REally?!" rayan asked with high hopes. Ryura glimpsed at that before returning to see Reychu with all his behavior like a roller coaster. Sometimes calm, sometimes soaring up and then slammed down, then sometimes also meandering ferociously and all that is packed in its essential silliness.
"Hm..."
Just like that, don't expect much.
Back to the couple who are now in a tense atmosphere.
Emperor Li seemed speechless digesting Reychu's words.
Come to think of it, there is a point. The pain he had suffered due to betrayal from his loved ones made him not want to let anything related to the traitor was around his life.
His silence made Reychu speak up. "You agree, don't you?! Well then, what are you waiting for... You release him or change his sentence. My suggestion is that you can revoke his title as prince or expel him, you can also alienate him. But, for sure you should include his wife and son. How's it?!" his proposal gave advice.
The people who witnessed it, still felt their backbones being broken. However, what is happening now is very stressful and strange.
Inwardly grimaced for the courage of their Empress.
After thinking with consideration. Finally, Emperor Li raised his voice. "Let go! This emperor has another punishment for him!" the cold, flat, and foreign-impressed tone entered everyone's ears. Second Prince Li Fang Ye who heard it even felt pain in his heart. Never thought there would be a time when they would truly be strangers to each other.
Second prince Li Fang Ye could only close his eyes resignedly. This is a consequence of what he did, he thought. So, he must accept everything with a chest.
Stepping forward closer to the short guardrail that became the protector of the building to watch for those high-status people.
"This emperor will only say it once, so listen carefully!" the clothes are cold.
"Second Prince Li Fang Ye! For the betrayal you have committed! This emperor cannot tolerate it! The death penalty is the right punishment for you! However, this Emperor was also unwilling to deal with everything related to a traitor! Because of that.." he paused for a moment.
Everyone became tense waiting for the continuation of the punishment change.
Second Prince Li Fang Ye, could not help but smile thinly as he heard there was hope for him.
"This emperor will replace your death sentence with expulsion!"
The deg!
Second Prince Li Fang Ye's heart was shocked to hear that it felt like it had stopped beating. The pain rippled in the recesses of his heart. But, there was nothing to remember what he had done.
"Bring your wife and children and leave your possessions and titles. Because, this Emperor has revoked the title of Second Prince from you. You are no longer part of the Huoli Royal Family! Leave the Fire Nation and never come back, no matter what! My country and my kingdom no longer accept you here!" clearly, what makes the heart of a shabby man on the stage of execution is very strong. It's really painful.
Not only were the expelled people shocked, all pairs of ears who heard it were also shocked. Not only because of the change of punishment, but also the meaning of the second punishment. Which means, the Second Prince is no longer related to the Fire Nation. He was expelled and not allowed to return.
Family disconnection is the second most horrific after the death penalty.
Emperor Li paid no attention to the response of those who witnessed all of this. To him, it's all done.
Looking towards his soldiers. "You guys!"
"Bring him up and let him meet his son and wife. Then, take them to the Fire Nation border. No matter where it is, as long as they're out of my Fire Nation! Understood!" it was so cold with an indisputable tone.
"Understand me, Your Majesty!" in unison they answered. There is no reason not to obey orders.
Soon after, several soldiers walked towards the former Second Prince who had looked down miserably since the change of sentence was dropped.
"Your.." his call was interrupted when he remembered what had just been announced, finally the soldier who had almost slipped it immediately corrected his speech. "Ehem. Awake, Sir. We will soon be doing our job! Please cooperate!" he said stiff, he was awkward also clumsy when he had to change the call that had been attached to get used to his tongue as well as others. But, how else...
Taking a deep breath, Li Fang Ye had no more reason to disobey the orders of his Emperor elder brother. Come to think of it, this is better than dying. However, he still has responsibilities that he must bear after this.
Aye! His son and wife! They will be his top priority in the future. Although he knew it would be difficult to live out there especially living in the land of people, considering he was no longer allowed to be in this Fire Nation. Not to mention without bringing property that can support their lives.
Again he could only sigh at this moment. It seems, talking about it with the wife can reduce the burden.
He got up from his seat and immediately followed the soldiers who led the way for him. At first glance he took the time to look at his Emperor brother who did not even look at him anymore. He knew how hurt his brother was for the betrayal he committed.
"I'm sorry, brother!" he muttered before finally returning to follow the soldiers to leave.
Silence enveloped the grounds of the Huoli Royal Court. No one dared to speak up. But, please be excluded for the three girls who are there. They were silent for their own reasons.
Until finally...
Prok...
Prok...
Prok...
"PLEASE ATTENTION! IT'S NOT FINISHED!" reychu exclaimed a group of people who were suddenly silent after the announcement directly from Emperor Li.
The Fire Nation's ruling man immediately turned his head to stare hard at Ahn Reychu, his Empress or could be said to be his former Empress candidate for a while later.
Reychu's call was well understood. The girl did so because she did not want her part forgotten. Even though he hopes so. But, unfortunately, his wife did not seem to want to stay by his side any longer.
Huh!
Emperor Li could only sigh heavily. The problem this time was more than heavy and painful. This time the problem is really messed up. Fucked for his heart and life.
"So, Your Grace... You can't forget, can you?!" reychu said with a slight thud. Very much knew that the man was still hoping to be able to hold her by his side. Hearing that, Emperor Li simply stared wryly at his former Empress-to-be with a sad and chaotic feeling.
Without taking his eyes off Reychu, Emperor Li said to the Eunuch. "Random the last scroll!" his tone was also stifled between reluctance and unwilling to say the order. But, what can I do. He's already lost.
"Okay, Your Majesty!" obedient Eunuch Emperor, but his eyes clearly implied a sense of concern and pity for his lord who had to appear pitiful in front of his people because of his mistake in making decisions from the beginning.
Reychu turned his head towards the Emperor Eunuch, looking at the man with a twinkle of impatience. He's obviously very excited about that. Emperor Li could only continue to look at the beautiful face of his legitimate wife who was about to leave him. He left it because of his own mistakes.
Observed the face carefully as if he wanted to record it well in the memory of his memory so that he could always remember it at any time.
"Ehm... ATTENTION EVERYONE! THIS WAS THE FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT THAT HIS HIGHNESS EMPEROR LI HANZUE WANTED TO MAKE!" spread his eyes out to all the people who were there.
In this case no one knows about the decision of Emperor Li that one. Only the Empress Dowager and the loyal Emperor's Eunuchs knew about the divorce decree between Emperor Li and Empress Ahn Reychu.
Reychu felt his heart beat racing faster. He seemed to be waiting for the announcement of victory from a competition event. Very stressful and fun too.
Emperor Li chose to close his eyes unable to hear what his eunuchs would read. Of course, what he read was what he wrote and it was quite stifling to his chest.
"'WITH THIS DECREE! I EMPEROR LI HANZUE DECIDED WITH ALL DUE CONSIDERATION TO FREE EMPRESS AHN REYCHU FROM HER POSITION AS EMPRESS AND LEGITIMATE WIFE OF ROYAL EMPEROR HUOLI!...'"
Surprise came back against all those who heard it. Big question marks were showering their minds.
"'... PRINCESS AHN REYCHU WAS RELEASED, NOT EXILED! ALL OF THAT WAS THE FORM OF THIS EMPEROR'S APOLOGY FOR WHAT THIS EMPEROR HAD DONE TO HIM! OH!'"
The short content of the decree was finished in the reading. Everyone started to question what was happening right now. Other than the people in the palace no one knew what the apology sign meant.
Although very surprised, the governing council of the Huoli Kingdom chose silence and did not try to comment. They know enough about what mess is going on today.
Understand exactly how severe the problem is.
Reychu almost jumped for joy hearing the divorce decree was exactly what he wanted. Immediately thrown a sweet smile at Emperor Li who suddenly stunned when he saw the happy smile. His heart was instantly seethed with pain, repeatedly cursing itself from within at his foolishness.
Stupid enough to make him lose something meaningful.
If time can be repeated. He wanted to write a new story with Ahn Reychu...
A story that is always filled with love...
huhuhu
they eventually split up too...
