REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

Master Liu stepped quickly as he drew near to the horse carriage.

When he was only a few steps away, a sigh of relief escaped his lips.

His pace slowly slowed down while holding his chest to relieve his ragged breaths.

From where he was, he could see two figures still in the carriage, not moving at all.

They were the coachman and the half-human, Fu Xie Lan.

Master Liu continued on his way, his brow furrowed when he found the two figures leaning back with their eyes closed, looking like a sleeping person.

With a slow-motion, the middle-aged man opened the carriage door to return to his original seat.

But what happened, his body stiffened again, a white cloth covered in blood appeared to be lying on the chair where he was before.

No...

It wasn\'t a bloodstain, but a message to him.

Instantly a sigh of relief sounded again when he found out the contents of the writing.

"DON\'T WAKE ME UP, Uncle."

So the contents of the writing on the cloth.

Watching her sleep, made all his previous worries disappear instantly.

Watching her for a few minutes, Master Liu\'s brow furrowed slightly, somehow he felt that Fu Xie Lan\'s face which was not covered by a mask, looked a little pale, the blush on her cheeks disappeared. It looks whiter than before. Like a sick person.

\'Is the kid asleep?\'

Master Liu became a little hesitant. Especially when he saw the message addressed to him.

\'Tell him, who is it that gives messages like this with blood written on them?\'

Master Liu knew that the writing was in blood because he could faintly feel the fishy smell of blood emanating from the cloth in his hand.

Immediately, all sorts of negative thoughts filled his head again and it managed to make his heart race again.

"Ah, I better wake her up," he monologued to himself.

Slowly, he raised one hand and stretched it out, wanting to wake Fu Xie Lan up.

"Aww.."

Her hand had not even touched the clothes that Fu Xie Lan was wearing and the little creature that had always been with the girl suddenly jumped over his hand and bit him deeply.

"Shhh..."

"My wings haven\'t healed yet, and you hurt my hand again, hhhhmmm," a sigh escaped Master Liu\'s lips.

Not only that, the little white furry creature was now staring at him as if he didn\'t like it when he touched the girl. His gaze was very sharp as if it would skin his body right then and there.

And because of that, Master Liu stopped his intention.

It seemed that Fu Xie Lan was sleeping and didn\'t want to be disturbed. If that wasn\'t the case, then why was the being who was always with him acting like that as if forbidding anyone to disturb the girl.

Master Liu slowly leaned back, relaxed his body for a moment, and tucked the cloth containing the message into his trouser pocket.

And after a while passed, Master Liu who previously closed his eyes, now his eyelids suddenly opened again.

His hand immediately reached out and woke the coachman who didn\'t seem to have woken up yet.

He didn\'t know what happened to these two people so they could fall asleep in situations and conditions where people should feel panicked.

Yes, Master Liu is a little confused, what happened a few hours ago and even now is not the right time to relax let alone sleep.

But what happened to Fu Xie Lan and the coachman made him shake his head, it is Weird.

"Sir, wake up," said Master Liu trying to wake the coachman.

He waited a while, no response whatsoever.

"Sir, wake up."

"Shouldn\'t you be driving back and driving us quickly to the Ocarina?" Master Liu spoke again.

But just the same, there was no response whatsoever from the courier.

A sigh escaped Master Liu\'s lips. No one knows how many times he has sighed in this day as if he was already like someone who has mental stress.

Master Liu tried it one more time. However this time the middle-aged man used quite a bit of the mana in his body.

"Sir, wake up," said Master Liu again and at the same time, the coachman immediately got up, startled from his position.

"What happened?"

"What happened?" chirped the coachman.

"You fell asleep at the wrong time," Master Liu replied instantly causing the coachman to look back.

"Ah yes, sorry Master," he said then, the look on his face like someone confused.

The reason, the coachman\'s memory is not very clear about what happened until he closed his eyes, his memories only revolved around the time he pulled over the carriage, seeing the people filling the streets ahead, as well as someone who seemed to be fighting.

And now someone suddenly wakes him up, he hasn\'t had time to collect his life and all these things are filling his head again.

But looking around the carriage, nothing happened at all, even the explosion that reached his ears before falling asleep he couldn\'t find any trace of it.

Yes, it should be with a big explosion like that can create damage, but as far as his eyes could see, everything seemed normal, there was no damage, nor was there any crowd blocking the way anymore. No damage whatsoever.

Was that just a dream?

"What happened, Master?" asked the coachman a little curious, the explosion he heard a moment ago sounded very real.

It was hard to tell if it was just a dream or if it happened.

"What happened? I should be the one asking that sir," Master Liu replied.

"How can you fall asleep in a situation like this?" he added again.

Hearing this, the coachman scratched his head which did not itch.

\'Ah, it seems, it was just a dream.\'

Slightly confirmed the passenger\'s words. Yes, that\'s right, he shouldn\'t have fallen asleep while dropping off passengers. Maybe it was because he hadn\'t rested these few days? So that it makes him tired and dreaming nonsense?

"Oops. I\'m sorry, Master. Pardon my impoliteness," said the coachman to Master Liu.

"So where are you going, Master?" he added again.

"Didn\'t I mention it before? Ocarina and I already paid for it, lest you also forget," Master Liu replied.

"A-alright. I\'m sorry again, Master."

"We\'re leaving now," added the coachman, the expression on his face right now looked like someone was in a daze.

The silver-colored horse carriage slowly drove back along the main streets of Kanca City.

Several similar horse-drawn carriages can also be found at several points, apparently still waiting for passengers.

Some people have also returned to their respective activities.

Even though conditions have returned to normal, Kanca City security guards still stand by along the road and several places around the previous incident.

And that made the coachman wonder, what happened that so many guards filled the streets?

Unbeknownst to people, a man in a black robe was standing on the roof of the tallest building not far from the scene of the previous incident. Standing looking at everything that\'s going on down there.

His face showed no expression at all until the figure turned around and disappeared at once, leaving the black smoke gathering in the air.
