74. Duel of Princesses and Princes
*Holy Blood Ring*
"alright. I gave the Prince one convenience,” Princess Kai said to Prince Baijin. “Although I have refused, but Prince I give the opportunity to go home with respect. One thing that became my main requirement was, the man who proposed to me should be able to defeat me by fighting.”
“What?!” shock Prince Baijin, then he turned into a small laugh impressed disdain. “How could I fight with Her Highness the Princess in the presence of Her Majesty the Emperor?”
“How, Prince?” The one who asked was Emperor Tsaw. There was no look of uneasiness on his face if his daughter had to fight with Prince Baijin who had a larger stature than Princess Kai who was slimmer and smaller.
Similarly, the Empress's face as Princess Kai's biological mother, or the faces of the Emperor's two concubines. They did not show any objection if the fight did happen.
“My honor could be further ruined if the news that I fought Princess Kai spread to the outside world,” Prince Baijin said.
“But that's the main condition that my brother always asks a man who wants to make him wife!” sahut Prince Tsun, also took part in the tension.
Prince Baijin was silent. He is considering making a decision. When he looked at his sister, Prince Bairin nodded faintly.
“Good, I accept terms from Princess Kai!” prince Baijin replied at last.
“If the Prince wins from me, then the Prince can go home with one victory. But if you lose, the Prince has to go home with a total defeat,” Princess Kai said as she walked to the center and stopped not far from Prince Baijin. “Prince can use sword.”
“No. I will conquer the Princess with my bare hands,” said Prince Baijin, then throw his sword at Sala A Jin.
Cracks!
Sala A Jin's right hand caught the green sword's body.
“Please, fight starts!” exclaim Emperor Tsaw with a serious face.
Prince Baijin arranged his position to deal perfectly with Princess Kai who stood up without putting up any horses to fight. He thought, Princess Kai will have difficulty due to her complicated clothes.
Prince Tsun, Prince Bairin, and Prime Minister La Gonho returned to their seats.
“Surely Prince Baijin has heard the news that Princess Country Jang is a witch,” said Princess Kai.
“Yes, I heard it, but I can't believe it,” said Prince Baijin who is now convinced that Princess Kai is a martial arts expert. That is why he felt he needed to fight seriously. “I'm sorry if you're not being rude!”
Prince Baijin moved forward a few steps with hand gestures trying to grip the princess' left shoulder. However, before Prince Baiji's attack reached, Princess Kai's right foot advanced into action with a slight stomp.
“Ahh!” prince Baijin was surprised by the body being thrown backwards and fell on the floor of the palace.
Prince Bairin and Sala A Jin glared in astonishment at the Crown Prince's huge body being thrown untouched by Princess Kai's movements. But for the royal family and its officers, such an incident had already been witnessed several times.
With an astonished but sharp look to the princess, Prince Baijin rose to her feet. He saw Princess Kai standing quietly, as if waiting for the next attack.
“It turns out Princess Kai has a high internal energy,” makes Prince Baijin. “I can't underestimate it.”
Aware of what he was facing, Prince Baijin then put up the horses. Then he made a number of moves to build up the inner power he also had.
“Hiaat!” screeching Prince Baijin while fast forward a few steps, then he jumped high and then swooped with fists towards Princess Kai's head.
Wh dude!
There were echoes that shook the feelings of those who heard it, when Princess Kai put the back of her left hand on her head. The Prince's fist and the Princess' palm did not meet the skin, but met each other's powerful but invisible inner strength. Along with that, Princess Kai's two fingers right hand pierced upwards.
“Akh!” prince Baijin screeched with a body thrown hard and then fell further to hit the floor of the palace.
“Kakak!” prince Bairin was worried. He quickly moved to find his brother whose mouth was bleeding.
Although Princess Kai's two fingers did not touch Prince Baijin's stomach, but the high inner energy that was in front of the finger was powerfully piercing the stomach and pushing Prince Baijin's body.
Prince Baijin who was already deeply injured, moved trying to stand with the help of Prince Bairin.
All eyes were on Emperor Tsaw. Princess Yuo Kai relaxed herself and turned to face her father.
Prince Baijin was forced to quell and harbor his mounting anger. His body felt very sick, but he tried to hold it. Sala A Jin's bodyguards were already by his side and were wiping him out.
“The result is clear. I, as the Emperor of Jang Country, decided that my daughter could not accept the Crown Prince of Ci Cin Country as a future husband. If Prince Baijin pleases, recover the wounds that the Prince experienced under the treatment of the imperial physician, because we have a very good healer of medical science,” said the Emperor.
“Thank you for the offer Your Excellency.” That said this time was Prince Bairin. “We already feel humiliated and we will go home with a total failure. Of course it would be more embarrassed if we have to linger in this country.”
“Success and failure are commonplace in this life. I hope, you do not keep so deep in your heart over the events of today,” Emperor Tsaw said.
“As I said, Your Majesty. If I fail and lose, then I will retreat to come a second time for the sake of victory!” said Prince Baijin with a grimacing face enduring the pain.
“I will wait for your second arrival, Your Highness the Prince,” said Princess Yuo Kai coldly.
Prince Baijin stared intently at Princess Yuo Kai. Then he saluted Emperor Tsaw.
“We are pleased, Your Majesty!” prince Baijin.
Prince Bairin and Guards Salah A Jin also expressed their respect. Emperor Tsaw nodded.
“Please,” says Emperor.
The three men turned around and walked away carrying feelings of disintegration and anger that they could not vent.
“Daughter Kai my dear brother, if you continue like this, you may age without love,” Prince Tsun said as he walked over to his brother.
The tech! Duk!
Princess Kai jerked her index finger at her sister before coming closer to her. One invisible force shot out and pierced Prince Tsun's right thigh. The handsome young man was surprised because suddenly his right thigh hurt and made him instantly fall to his knees. After that he could not move even a little, let alone rise to his feet.
“Kakak!” peekik Prince Tsun panicked.
The incident also made Empress Fouwai, Consort Ni and Consort Yim somewhat panicked, judging by their shock.
“Sister, release me!” shouted Prince Tsun.
However, Princess Kai did not heed her younger brother. He faced his father.
“Guests have left, the event has finished. Allow me to beg yourself,” said Princess Kai.
“Please, my daughter,” Emperor Tsaw said with a small smile, though he knew that his daughter's actions risked causing enmity with the Land of Ci Cin. But who can control his daughter? So far no one has been able to subdue the arrogance and devotion of Princess Yuo Kai. He was still grateful, his daughter still held high respect for him as long as he did not apply coercion to his eldest son.
Princess Kai then saluted his father and mother. He turned and walked away.
“Sister! Let go of me!” prince Tsun shouted frantically, he did not want to be left in such a condition.
While walking by Prince Tsun's side, Princess Kai's right hand patted the back of her sister's head.
Bluk!
“Ak!” choking Prince Tsun as his body was pushed forward, forcing him to fall down with his face first.
All who saw the incident could only shake their heads.
However, after that fall, Prince Tsun was able to move and get back up. Guardsman Tan Ma immediately helped his master to stand up.
Princess Kai kept walking away. The bodyguard and his two servants immediately came walking in behind him. (BH)
