MEILIN’S REBORN (Battle Of The Heart And Throne)

Nevaeh slowly looked up to see that blue guy again but this time he looked different.

He looked a lot more older and the f**k!!, What was he wearing??

“What is with your blue outfit?” She asked.

“What is with yours too?” He fired back and she could only just sigh in defeat because she was also dressed like him but compared to her, he looked like a clown.

Blue hair, blue eyes, blue eyebrows, blue long garment, blue long peacock fan, in fact everything was just blue.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

She cleared her throat to distract herself before asking the same question again.

“Where am I and why do I look like this?” She asked, pointing herself from head to toes.

“You’re back home” he replied and she gave him a confused look.

“Can you elaborate on this a bit more, what do you mean by I’m back home, why am I here, why aren’t I in bliss college, what is this place and why don’t I look like myself anymore?” She asked all at once.

Rennie sighed and motioned the maid to leave, she bowed and left then he moved to sit on her bed.

“Remember what I told you about yourself back then when we were still at bliss college, I said you were one of us, you’re a princess here and by the time your powers unlock, you will turn back to your original face which means, you won’t look like the Nevaeh in bliss college anymore” he said.

Nevaeh sighed tiredly and went to sit beside him.

“And Anna?” She asked.

Rennie closed his eyes, when they were all transported back to the Ming dynasty, his wound healed and he had been trying not to think of Gianna because that last time he saw her, she was dead.

“Why aren’t you answering, is she really dead?” She asked again, tears slowly forming in her eyes.

“I’m afraid so” he muttered and Nevaeh burst out in tears.

He shifted closer to her and hugged her to himself as she cried her eyes out.

“It’s also hurting me too, we were supposed to get married thousand of years ago but she died and now I was given another chance to marry her again, she died again” he said painfully.

Nevaeh didn’t reply, she kept on crying.

She doesn’t want to believe that her best friend is dead but what can she do when she sees her own body with her own eyes.

“Anna!!” She cried loudly and Rennie rubbed her shoulders lightly.

“You should stop crying, I get that you just lost your best friend but you’re now a princess, you will experience more of this often” he said but she kept crying.

Who is she without Gianna?

“If one day you’re given the opportunity to rule a kingdom and your husband die, will you give up and cry like this? Just look at me, my future wife died twice, I’m not happy but I’m still trying to stay strong so can you just stop crying and learn how to be tough” he added.

“I’m trying but I can’t help it, we’ve been friends like forever, what will her mom do when she hear this and what will my mom do to?” She asked amidst tears.

Rennie sighed and left her shoulders.

“I feel sorry for all the parents whose child attends bliss college because the college had been burnt down already, at least that’ll be a logical explanation for most people’s death because the humans can’t find out about us” he said.

Nevaeh stopped crying and stared at him.

“You guys burnt down the college?” She asked and he nodded.

“What about the living humans?” She asked again, with widened eyes this time.

“We made them pass out then we erased their memory and sent them out and the rest were left to burn” he replied.

“Including Anna?” Nevaeh asked, fighting back her second round of tears.

“Hmm, it was so painful for me to watch her body burn,” he muttered.

A teardrop fell from Nevaeh’s eyes and she immediately wiped it off.

“It’s all because of Zachary, Anna has done nothing but love him, how can he be so heartless” she said, squeezing the bedspread painfully.

`That was because Zachary had just found out that he was a demon and Xia Meilin wiped his family so whatever he did, he did it for revenge” Rennie replied and stood up then looked at her.

“Don’t think too much about this, I’m sure you’ll be fine one day and also you should freshen up, I’ll tell the maids to set you some warm water for bathing” he added before leaving the room.

Nevaeh’s body began vibrating angrily as she recalled everything, how Zachary was about to kill her back then, she also remembered how he stabbed Gianna with his sword without any feelings or emotions and she clenched her teeth painfully.

“Zachary Chen!!, I will be the one to kill you” she said angrily.

DAYS LATER, JADE HEAVENS**

“Anna please don’t go, don’t go…” Den kept talking in his sleep.

“Please stay with me Anna” he muttered and a tear drop fell off his eyes.

“Don’t go,” he cried slowly.

Fen dropped the bowl of warm water on the table and looked at Boi sadly.

These past days, Den hasn’t been himself, he doesn’t talk to anyone, he’s always at the garden, training and once he’s done, he’ll go to the liquor collection and drink over ten jugs.

Get drunk, stagger himself back home and lay on his bed then sleep, he still can’t sleep peacefully without dreaming about Gianna.

Each time he talks in his sleep, he calls her name and cries.

The king and queen were really worried about his behavior, they have called a lot of physicians and they all keep saying the same thing.

They kept saying that he was love sick and he won’t stop behaving like this till he moves on.

“Will his highness ever change, why did Gianna have to die?” Boi muttered and sat on the small stole.

“Everything happens for a reason” Fen replied and sat on the other stool.

“But I really feel for his highness, each time I see him like this, it really breaks me. I feel like crying, is love that strong to make someone like this?” Boi scoffed slowly.

“You won’t know unless you’re in love too, love is the greatest weakness of a man” Fen replied again and Boi stared at him.

“Ever being in love before?” He asked.

Fen smiled shortly and looked at the ceiling.

“I’m just like his highness, I fell into the unlucky category” he said sadly.

“Why did she die?” Boi asked and Fen nodded.

“We were both slaves on an already perished palace, I promised to protect her with everything I’ve got but I couldn’t do anything when I watched them slaughter her” he said and wipped the tears that fell from his eyes.

“Well that was years ago and I hate remembering how useless I was. I was really broken but I had to just face reality and move on. We the slaves planned among ourselves to escape and we did, he escaped but they were chasing after us, they killed a lot of us and luckily I meet his highness, he was in a horse carriage he let me stay inside, he saved my life and he made me work for him” Fen narrated.

Boi blinked and looked up.

“Normally I was from a poor background, when my mom saw that they were looking for another bodyguard for the angel of light, she forced me to go there, I went and did some interview and I was picked” he shrugged.

“And that’s why you’re lazy,” Fen chuckled.

THE KING’S CHAMBER**

He was sitting on his throne and doing some paperwork when the queen entered.

“Greetings my king” she greeted and he smiled.

“My queen, come sit beside me” he replied.

The queen went to sit beside him and sighed.

“I’m here to talk about Den,” she said.

The king sighed and dropped the feather stick he was holding.

“He keeps getting worse, I’m afraid our son is slowly transforming into someone we don’t know, I hate seeing him acting like a sadist, we need to fix it” she added.

“I’m also worried about him too, seems like he’s not acting this way because he failed but because he fell in love with that human the gods asked him to protect” the king sighed and continued.

“And it’s really not a good thing because she’s dead and the gods might pair him up with someone else and if he refuses then he might suffer the same fate with my father and I don’t want that” he completed.

“Is there a way we can make him forget about her, at least let him just be himself?” The queen asked.

“I don’t really know but time heals pain, let’s give him some time and let’s wait to see what the gods will have to say about this”.
