REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

"Put your hands down!" Bai Mo scolds Bai Xue.

Immediately the black-haired man lowered his hand with a frown on his face.

"Isn't that right? She is that girl?" Bai Xue repeated.

"Now a lot of questions are popping up in my mind, and it feels like oh oh no, maybe my head will burst soon," added the man again while holding his head with both hands as if what he said was going to happen.

Bai Mo only glanced at Bai Xue for a moment, rolling her eyes in embarrassment.

And it seems that what the man said was also felt by Bai Mo.

They initially found the girl still with a fully human scent. There was no smell other than humans, not the slightest bit.

But now? How could the human girl they were helping have the power of many races in her body? And again, this time the girl was going to be the wife of the Lord of the Artland World? Which means she will also become their new Queen?

Truly an unexpected series of events, not only that, Wan Lie who was in their midst did not escape the two bodyguards' thoughts.

How could there be a man so similar to His Highness Gu Yi? Only the hair and eye color are different. Yes, this question had arisen since earlier they had first seen that man at the phoenyx academy while torturing a woman at night. Not only appearance, but the two bodyguards Bai could also sense the mana of a demon from the youth.

What is going on in this world?

Who is that man?

Who is that girl?

Had they missed something?

Even though so many confusions and questions crossed their minds, it was only kept to themselves. Did not have the intention and the guts to directly ask the two figures in question.

***

The event had lasted several tens of minutes, finished saying the sacred vows, the two couples had not left the altar.

Sitting on the oversized chairs that had been specially prepared for Gu Yi and Fu Xie Lan, several people walked hurriedly, towards the altar where Fu Xie Lan and Gu Yi were, as well as the Emperor who was among them. Several people lifted the chest that was square in size. Not too small, not too big.

"Stop!" shouted the commander-in-chief of the Zu kingdom, immediately drawing the sword slung around his waist, and at that very moment, those who were carrying the chests stopped in place.

"What are you doing? Huh?" snapped the commander-in-chief.

Now, they had become the center of attention.

"Someone sent a gift wedding for Princess, Commander-in-Chief," one of them stammered with his head still bowed.

"A gift? You guys...."

"Leave it alone," the voice of a middle-aged man immediately greeted the commander-in-chief's sense of hearing, cutting off his unfinished sentence. The voice belonged to the emperor Fu Qing.

Deep in the hill that was behind the Zu royal palace, no one was aware of the existence of a person in black robes, a cloak that covered his entire body. Witnessing clearly what was happening inside the palace, the corners of his lips lifted, smiling in a smirk. Turned from his position then disappeared in an instant.

.

"You bring it here," he said again with a smile on his lips.

"All right, Your Majesty, according to your orders," said the commander, bowing slightly, and seconds after, the man in full armor turned back to the people carrying the chest.

"You guys follow me," the commander-in-chief of the Zu kingdom then started to lead the way.

"Just put it there," Emperor Fu Qing said.

Immediately the four of them stopped and landed the chest right in front of the Emperor, Fu Xie Lan, and Gu Yi.

Looking at the four people carrying the chest, everyone had the same thought that it seemed that what was contained in the square box was something very heavy. Everyone became curious about the contents of the chest.

They hoped that the Emperor or Princess would open it right then and there in front of everyone's eyes.

No one noticed the cold glint in Gu Yi's gray eyes, as everyone was only focused on the chest on the altar.

Some of them guessed that it might contain gold coins? Or contains gold bars? Rare and very expensive items? Or other valuables. Even so, no one felt jealous, because whatever valuable object was in the chest was something natural if it was given to the princess.

"Please Your Majesty," said the Commander.

"Who is it from?" asked Emperor Fu Qing.

Hearing the middle-aged man's question, the commander-in-chief turned to face the four people behind him.

But what he saw was only a confused look on their face, as if that was enough of an answer that they didn't know him either.

"Who gave this gift?" asked the Commander.

"Someone outside the palace, Commander in Chief," answered one of them.

"He said this is a very valuable gift, and that person also prays that the lives of the bride and groom can be as harmonious and happy as the contents of this chest," he added with his head still bowed.

"Did that person say that?" asked the Emperor with a smile that never left his lips. It was clear that today, the middle-aged man was very happy.

"That's right, Your Majesty," answered the four of them almost simultaneously.

The Emperor laughed happily, only a few seconds, and then returned to normalize his expression.

"Looks like the gift is very valuable. I can't wait to see it, tsk tsk," said the Emperor.

"Xie Lan, want to open it now?" he asked as he looked to the side.

"As you wish, Your Majesty," Fu Xie Lan replied.

"Hmm okay."

"Commander, open the chest," the Emperor ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty," replied the Zu kingdom's commander, bowing again. Took a step back, aligning himself with the four people carrying the chest.

Slowly turning his body, then immediately opened the chest.

One second...

Two seconds...

Three seconds...

Nothing happened, the chest didn't open at all.

The commander's brow furrowed, clearly making anyone who saw him do the same.

"Let someone help you, Commander," said one of the palace officials, after saying this, he seemed to summon several warriors who were standing not far behind him, asked them to help the Commander open the chest.

.

Kriiyyekkk

A soft crackling sound came from the lid of the chest, a sign that it might be opening soon.

Whereas they just opened a chest, but it felt as if you were lifting a very heavy load.

The commander and two warriors exerted all their strength to open it.

And finally...

The chest slowly opened. And what awaits them in there immediately makes anyone take a step back, aghast with perfect bulging eyes.
