"Luna." She said.

The girl's eyes were so captivating that Xiao Tianyao couldn't be able to draw his attention away from her, as though something was sucking his soul. "Beautiful…" He kept repeating the same word in his reverie.

He wasn't aware about his surrounding until the earlier soldier called him out. "General Xiao… the messenger is here to announce imperial decree."

Reluctantly Xiao Tianyao pulled back his hands from the woman's cheek and directed his attention to the eunuch and the other five people who followed him from Azura. Since Xiao Tianyao had lost himself in fascination of the helpless girl in front of him who knew since when they were already there.

All of the soldiers who present knelt before the decree when a eunuch from The Kingdom of Azura read it out loud.

In the other hand, with Xiao Tianyao's status he has privilege to stay still with his overbearing nature, He just nodded his head to give permission for the eunuch to declare it.

The content of the decree was more or less something that Xiao Tianyao had predicted except…

"… All the palace people from the Kingdom of Xinghe will be sentenced to death." The eunuch added some information before he ended the decree.

Afterward, the soldier from before stepped forward and was about to grab Luna's hand with intention to drag her away, however, surprisingly Xiao Tianyao held his hand before he could touch her.

"Stay away from her." Xiao Tianyao said coldly.

With puzzled expression he inquired his General action. "But, General… the decree said we have to kill her."

"I want her." He said with finality.

"But, Prince Xiao Tianyao your action is against the Imperial decree…" The eunuch retorted.

Xiao Tianyao didn't say anything anymore when he helped Luna to stand up, ignoring all of the questioning eyes as he walked away with her in his embrace.

Xiao Tianyao unexpected attitude baffled everyone who were presence there.

"Prince Xiao Tianyao decision can't be justified." The Eunuch mumbled. "All of you retreat for now. I will try to talk with The Prince. Leader Feng Chang, follow me please."

The eunuch was an old man who had been following the Emperor Xiao Zi, even before he usurped the throne. Thus, his status was quite important to be able to talk the term with Xiao Tianyao and reminded him about the consequences if he didn't follow the Imperial decree.

On the other hand, Feng Chang dismissed his two subordinates who previously had brought Luna.

Now both Feng Chang and the Eunuch rushed into the palace hall to the direction of the Emperor of Xinghe's room that Xiao Tianyao occupied.

When it was only both of them, mocking smile appeared on their lips.

"Inform to the Emperor that Young Miss Luna will handle it beautifully." Feng Chang said as he slow down his pace.

"Young Miss Luna ability is simply unimaginable." The eunuch announced it in amazed.


He has ever heard about the mind controller ability to mess with other people mind, but never saw it with his own eyes. Only when he saw Xiao Tianyao was so beguiled by Luna, he knew that the mind controller's ability was a calamity for their enemies.

A young woman like Luna was enough to put her charm on the stony- hearted Prince Xiao Tianyao in a matter of second. Not to mention what her father, Modama, had done to Xinghe and late Emperor of Azura, Xiao Zhong.

Two mind controllers were enough to turn the continent upside down. The eunuch finally got the big picture how terrified it would be if decades ago the old Emperor of Azura, Xiao Zi's father, didn't give an order to eliminate them.

But, the Emperor Xiao Zi who he was serving now, was way more cunning than them. In the way that no one knew, the Emperor held something important to the mind controller that could avoid them to turn their back against him.

Feng Chang didn't say anything when he saw the eunuch gloated face.

Xiao Tianyao brought Luna to the Emperor's room and ordered one of his soldiers to bring medicine box.

Inside the room he instructed Luna to sit on the couch while he got a cloth to clean up her face. He never saw a woman in that way in his entire life.

A woman in front of him not only caught his attention, but also his soul, the feeling that was so strange for Xiao Tianyao since he had never felt like this before, the feeling of longing.

Her clear eyes and soft expression made him wanted to protect her at all cost. If one might say it was crazy, then Xiao Tianyao wouldn't mind to say that he was crazy for her, everything about her.

"Luna is a beautiful name…" Xiao Tianyao said softly while wiping the dirt from the girl's hand.

"Luna thanks Prince Xiao Tianyao…" Luna replied with her head down. She looked so fragile and harmless.

Xiao Tianyao held her chin gently and raised her face. "Let me see your beautiful eyes…" He looked deep into her eyes, as though it was the most beautiful things that Xiao Tianyao has never seen.

Luna smiled softly that made Xiao Tianyao elated. The girl reached out her hands and cupped Xiao Tianyao's face. He was confused at first, but the next second he closed his eyes and slumped unconscious onto the girl shoulder.

"Thank you for saying that I have beautiful eyes… " Luna whispered to the senseless man on her shoulder.

She was stroking Xiao Tianyao's head softly when the knocked on the door made her raised her head.

"Come in." She said. She knew the person who was coming. "Feng Chang, Eunuch Ma." Luna nodded her head when both of them gave their respect toward her.

"Help me to put him on the bed." She said and let the two man carried Xiao Tianyao.

They put him on the silky grandiose bed in the middle of the room.

Meanwhile Luna looked at him expressionlessly. The moment Feng Chang and eunuch Ma done, both of them lowered their head in front of Luna, waiting for her another instruction.

"Inform my father and the Emperor of Azura that everything is in my control, they can continue the next arrangement."

Both of them bowed their head submissively and after Luna didn't say anything, they were about to excuse themselves when she spoke.

"Feng Chang, tell my younger brother to come and see me." Luna turned her back and looked at the bright sun through the open window.

"Yes, Young Miss Luna." Feng Chang said respectfully.
