THE GODDESS OF CONQUERORS
Lin Shan's Rejection

Before replying Lin Shan smiled faintly as he glanced towards Aqila who was still revealing a flat expression as usual.

"i don't care what others say about me, for a knight to keep a promise is the price of death, so father can give the throne to your other son" Lin Shan asked

"you." replied the king Zhuang Daiyu full of emotions that were almost out of control.

"once again I am sorry but please do not force my noble king because for me the command of Miss Aqila is everything and I will only obey his orders" said Lin Shan

since the beginning Lin Shan did not want the throne he was happy enough to still have a family let alone the father was very fond of him.

But if with his presence could ruin his father's new family that Lin Shan didn't want to do.

He prefers to live freely with Aqila there is no pressure or demands that require him to be confined in one place.

"you can't follow me anymore prince Lin Shan what the king says is true" Aqila said suddenly.

just as in the lightning bolt Lin Shan's heart was truly in pain, the person he loved so much now did not want his presence anymore.

Lin Shan remained silent for quite a long time until Zhuang Daiyu's voice retracted the man's consciousness.

"do you still stick to your stance prince Lin Shan after what Miss Aqila said just now" Zhuang Daiyu said

"yes, my father won't change my decision even if Miss Aqila doesn't want me by his side anymore" Lin Shan replied with great confidence.

Whatever happens Lin Shan will never leave his life savior's behind.

Should Aqila admit Lin Shan's loyalty to her deserves a thumbs up the young man was even willing to let go of everything he had just to be able to stay beside her.

although happy but this was not what Aqila wanted her to want Lin Shan to get what should be her right.

"stubborn base" Zhuang Lan said inwardly.

"may I give my opinion" said the defense minister.

"please minister" replied the king

"if prince Lin Shan is not willing to become the crown prince then we do not need to force him, I think prince Zhuang Lan Also deserves to be the successor to the throne let alone his figure is well known by the royal population, he said, and I suggest that the king's majesty can give another position to the first prince so that he does not need to renege on his oath to Miss Aqila and can still devote himself to his kingdom" the man said at length

"what the defense minister said was true to the king" said the finance minister.

The two of them were neutral parties not taking sides with Zhuang Lan and Lin Shan.

everyone nodded in agreement including Aqila.

Finally, the crown prince's coronation ceremony continued to run smoothly with Zhuang Lan who received the award, while Lin Shan was given the gift of full control of the royal forces

Which meant that Lin Shan now served as the main general of the moon kingdom.

....

Flashback on,,,

The night before the crown prince's coronation speech, Lin Shan had intended to take a short walk because he couldn't close his eyes.

the young man intended to visit Aqila's place but this did not happen because he was afraid of interrupting the girl's rest.

until his footsteps accidentally brought him to the residence of the chunhua empress, Lin Shan was about to turn back to his residence.

But his earlobes hear a noise also a quarrel between a woman and a man whose tone of voice feels familiar.

"lady....."

Prang

Brakkk

Brakkk

"mother what are you doing" Zhuang Lan shouted as she approached the woman.

The sound of broken items earlier was clearly heard in Lin Shan's ears.

"Zhuang Lan listen to mother You must be king, you must prove to your father that you are the only one worthy of being the successor of this Kingdom" said empress Chunhua with a face that had been flooded with tears.

"but ma'am I don't want to be king, and it's no longer my right, brother Lin Shan is back so I have no reason to fight for the throne with him" zhuang Lan replied gently trying to give understanding to the mother.

"are you stupid huh, if you don't become king then your position as prince will slowly be forgotten, did I forget that your father only loved that woman and also her son" shouts empress chunhua

"mother.." said Zhuang Lan

"don't call me mother if you don't obey my orders" the woman snapped, pushing her son's body.

Zhuang Lan looked at the chunhua empress she hated her own father for not being able to care for her mother like that man doted on empress Hui Ying.

"get out of here I don't have a child of defiance like you" chunhua shouted.

It was fortunate that the empress' residence was separated from the residence of king Zhuang Daiyu, so the woman's anger was not heard into her ears.

although they were husband and wife but they did not live on the same roof because Zhuang Daiyu did not allow his second wife to occupy the residence of the first empress.

it was the source of the chunhua empress' hatred for empress Hui Ying even though the woman she hated had long since died.

Zhuang Lan finally stepped out of her mother's room she gave the woman time to calm herself down.

after Zhuang Lan left Lin Shan ventured into the room of the chunhua empress.

Can lin Shan see the state of the room is quite messy due to broken items scattered everywhere.

Lin Shan approached the chunhua empress who was sitting on the floor with her head bowed.

The woman was unaware of Lin Shan's arrival because the man stepped in without making a sound.

"the empress" said Lin Shan in a soft voice.

hearing the foreign voice beside her empress chunhua straightened her head to see who dared to speak to her.

Because he had already asked the servants to leave him alone.

"you" empress Chunhua was surprised at Lin Shan's whereabouts she was speechless when the man looked at her so deeply.

"i want to talk, may I ask you for a moment" said Lin Shan cautiously as he did not want to make the woman's emotions ignite again.

Empress Chunhua was silent But from the look in the woman's eyes explained that she did not like Lin Shan's existence and there was such great hatred for her.

"you hate me for fear that I take your son's property" Lin Shan asked

"well, because you and your mother are the real culprits in my life" replied Empress Chunhua

"i don't know what my mother did to you until you hated her so much, I apologized on behalf of my mother, if my presence disturbs your happiness then I will leave this palace"

"but before that can you give me time, I've just felt a father's affection whether you can separate a son from his father you are a mother you certainly understand how painful it is to lose the person we love the most"

"my presence is not to fight for the throne with your son I have no interest in power" explained Lin Shan with Nada as gentle as possible.

Empress Chunhua was stunned that there was a strange sigh within her, the woman saw clearly that the young man in front of her was speaking honestly and there was sincerity within her eyes.
