Xing got out of the tub as she realised that person getting closer and she snuffed out all the lamps inside the tent at the same time. The light inside the tent considerably reduced startling the intruder and Xing grabbed a sheer white robe hanging on the wooden partition and covered herself.. Actually it covered nothing, more like it made her look more alluring.
"Don't move!", she commanded to the one who almost reached the partition.
She expected defiance but she could hear him getting startled and he immediately tried to flee.
Oookay... Didn't he come here for me? Why is he trying to run away?
" I told you not to move! Now, Turn around", she said as she emerged from behind the screens putting a hold on him and he compiled.
"I came for the Divine Ruler.... You... You are.. A woman..?", he spoke in the Wind language with his voice trembling and guilt seeping from him as he turned around raising his hands expressing his intent of complying to her words.
"Ah...! So you didn't expect the Divine Ruler of the Wind Kingdom to be a woman, huh? Your royalness... From, the Fire Kingdom I presume? ", Xing said shaking her head in a mocking tone at the back view of the man she saw in that small ship who is having the same blood as the Lus.
" I... I... Didn't... ", he stuttered as he seemed to be truly perplexed, " I'm Prince Kang, brother of the current Emperor Shengshi of the Fire Kingdom", he introduced himself standing in a straight posture as if he was frozen stiff. He had the elegance of a royal to him and his deep voice carried a bit of arrogance to it even though he tried to be humble. The way he dressed resembled theirs and he spoke their language fluently and Xing remembered they speak the same language as the fire Kingdom.
He could be categorised with Chenglei, Xing thought as she got reminded of the twelve year old Chenglie she met. Their aura seemed to be the same... Dark and cold!
She also felt a deep connection towards him that she cannot express how.... The same way she feels about... It skipped her as she tried to figure it out... In the end she could not bear to hurt this man who caught her in an vulnerable position while bathing. Even her maids won't be allowed to intrude her bathing time without facing repercussions.
She started to wear her clothes and he just stood there stiff not making any motions and only the sound of her rustling silk robes was heard.
"So, Prince Kang of Fire Kingdom... Is this what your royals do? Sneaking into other Kingdom's Empress' tent while she is bathing?", she asked after making herself presentable, pressing her golden sword in his shoulder near his neck.
"I wanted to meet the Divine Ruler. I didn't know that it was your highness...", he tried to explain in a polite tone as he wanted to ear the misunderstanding. He had figured out she should be the Empress if she is not a Prince of their kingdom as mentioned by 'The Lone Wolf' . Seems like the man he was accompanied with, lied to him... A lot!
Xing could see his ears were red, probably out of embarrassment or anger. He clearly didn't expect a woman to be the divine ruler and so he tried to have a talk not minding the other person was in the bath.
Xing knew it was an honest mistake but decided to stress him more for disturbing her bath,
" Should I tell that paramour who was with you that her man tried to ..."
"She is my beloved wife!", he interposed and Xing could feel the coldness and the warning tone in his voice and smirked.
He is a lot like Chenglei isn't he? She could not help but smile. He accidentally did a mistake and is now in a precarious position and even then he cannot allow his wife to be misrepresented! What a nice husband! Beloved.. He says!
No matter who it is, Xing always respected a man who would protect his wife. He should be a strong man in her opinion.
" I stand corrected. Your WIFE, where is she? Should she witness her husband getting executed for trying to sneak a peak at the Empress of another Kingdom? Tell me what's the punishment for this crime in your kingdom, Prince Kang of Fire Kingdom?", she pressed the sword in his neck.
" Are you dressed? ", he asked, this time he was polite and he turned to look at her with her sword still in his neck and his hands still raised.
" You cannot kill me... Can you? If you could, I'd be dead by now. And you really don't need a weapon to kill ", he took a deep breath and pushed the sword aside with his forefinger and Xing knew he was right but didn't understand why as she put the divine sword in its sheath.
She looked at the man probably around the same age as Chenglei with dark hair fixed in a bun with a gold coronet fixed and his dark phoenix eyes had a calculative gaze and his thin lips were pursed showing his sincerity and he was extremely pleasing to the eye. She had heard most of the people in the Fire Kingdom had black hair and dark brown eyes. It should be true!
"You are right! I don't need a weapon to kill. So what do you need from me?", she asked and sat in a chair pointing at another chair opposite to her prompting him to sit.
He didn't stand on ceremony and sat opposite her.
"Just wanted to meet you", he said looking deep into her eyes, "Can you feel it? The connection between us?", he asked.
Any woman in Xing's place would have considered those words as suggestive but not Xing and he didn't mean it that way either.
Finally after staring into his deep eyes, Xing could put a word to the emotion she felt,
" Brother! ", she mumbled and she could see his lips curling a little bit which soon disappeared as if that smile was accidental and he had vowed to not smile.
Xing's aura changed to dark as she went to her defensive mode. He is the brother she is supposed to have, the brother whom she should have shared a womb and grew up with! He is the one who would become the divine ruler if she forfeits her position!

So he has the Lu bloodline and is a Prince of the Fire Kingdom and could claim the throne of the five kingdoms. No wonder Master Yuan tried to train her hard so that she won't lose to him. No wonder the gods didn't mind her death when she was born. They already had a substitute born in the fire kingdom. Only the lie the Tianshi Emperor said has left me alive all this while!
Xing remembered the scroll of fate she read and all the deeds her 'supposed brother' will enact to get the throne. The blood he will shed and the dramas he'll enact. Will his fate be different now that he's born elsewhere? Or will he try to get the throne like his original fate is?
And why is he here now?
As Xing get to her thoughts the air in the tent got to a chilling temperature when a commotion was heard outside her tent.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
