SHE PRINCE

Sitting on her knees next to her mother in the middle of the entrance room she clutches her palm over her dress material above her knees, biting her lower lip she lets the tears flow down her cheeks,her eyes glued to her dead brother who is laying pale in front of her on the white cloth.

Taking a deep breath in she sniffs her nose and moves her gaze upwards to see her father the great lord Wen walking to and fro with his eyebrows furrowed.

He is tensed up due to his son's death but the matter which is bothering him is not the death of his son,he is worried about the entry form of the great school of scholars and leaders.

During those times the son of each kingdom gathers in this school which is respected and it's a must for all the son of the kingdom to study there to be the next leader of the general and they bring the victory and power to their home at the end which proves the greatest state of all.

"Qin,"he stops in his tracks and looks towards his right to see his wife and daughter moaning over the body.

Mrs Wen looks up at him her eyes filled up with tears which would stream down at any time.

"Let XingXing go to the school of scholars," he orders his tone dry and stern.

"What?,"she gasps getting up from her knees she walks towards her husband who is examining XingXing from top to bottom.

"It's a place where only men is allowed,"she says softly trying not to scare XingXing who is already broken.

"So...,"Lord Wen turns around to meet his wife's eyes which is begging him not to this.

"If people finds out,it will ruin her life"she cries falling over her knees while he looks down at her with his rigid expression showing no emotion.

"Are you trying to disobey me?,"he asks aloud which made XingXing to flinch as his voice echoed in the empty room.

She looks up to see the scene in front of her,wiping the tears with the back of her palm she inhales a deep breath and leaves it out. Getting up on her feet she bows down slightly "As you wish father,"she utters softly her voice never cracking down.

"Xing no..,"

"Maa, it's okay," she comforts her mom,walking towards her mom she helps her to get up from the floors, holding her mother in her arms she plasters a smile on her face looking at her father "I'll replace Wan ke,"she says her voice stern which shows that she is never afraid of the outcome.

"Wale,"he calls out aloud,the wooden door slides open immediately and he bows down infront of his master to obey his command.

"Yes,Master,"Wale asks bending low his eyes fixed to the wooden floor.

"Inform everyone that my daughter was killed and the body is not found,"he orders , bending low he covers the face of his son with the white material folded over his neck.

"Yes master," Wale leaves the place walking out with other guards to spread the news.

-Flashback-

"What's that?,"XingXing asks pouting at her brother Wan ke who is hiding something behind his back.

Getting up from the water in the shallow side of the river she moves her arm in front opening her palm in front of his view, her lips formed to a wide smile when Wanke looks at her and pats her head.

"For you,"he grins moving his left arm in front and holds his balled fist on her open palm.

"Give me,"Xing whines being curious to know what it is.

"Here,"he drops something hard on her palm ,she moves her palm to her view immediately as the thing made contact on her skin.

"Wooow,"she holds the white stone with her three fingers smiling at it while raising it high.

"Here,"Wan ke grasps her wrist gently and moves it to the direction of the sun rays.

"Beautiful,"she giggles her eyes widens in amusement as the colour of the stone shades with red and yellow.

"It's rare," Wan ke looks at his sister who is grinning happily looking at the stone"Just like you," he smiles which makes her to look at him.

"Thanks,"she hugs him "You are the best brother in earth," she steps back, her smile never leaving her face, she raises the stone in the air again her eyes filled up with excitement.
