Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

257 Prince You

Hearing that question from Jun Hua, Prince You didn't seem bothered in the slightest. "I see. Then you should go ahead."

That response was surely out of her expectation. Jun Hua found that this seemingly sickly prince was truly interesting to talk with. What made him didn't have any feeling towards his own family?

"I didn't know that you didn't care about your own family."

"I only have few months left to live, why should I care about them anymore?" Prince You shrugged. His tone was like saying some casual thing and not something that really concern his own self.

Jun Hua looked towards the prince's eyes. Where had she seen it before? Finally, she remembered. It's the same eye with her second brother, Jun Kang, before she helped him in the past. That was the eye devoid of any emotion and feeling. He had already given up.

"Mind telling me what happens?"

Prince You didn't hesitate and opened the door. Jun Hua walked inside with the prince and took the seat in the living room.

"I was poisoned since a long time ago by my own brother, not sure which one of them, though. Because of that, my lifespan reduced, and I choose to distance myself from the battle for the throne."

Although Prince You said it with a simple tone, Jun Hua knew that the matter might not be so simple. In the Ming Kingdom itself, there were a lot of people hating the emperor for what he did to them, but none of them succeed in making him pay. That was until this past year.

Looking at the lifeless eyes of Prince You, somehow Jun Hua felt that the way he looked was similar to one that doesn't have any will to live anymore.

"Even with antidote, you can't be saved?" Jun Hua asked questioningly.

"It's too late, and I don't want to drink those anymore."

Jun Hua lips twitched. She finally realizes what makes this prince looked so strange losing his will to live.

"Is there anyone important to you who died in the recent time?"

"My fiancée," Prince You answered. "You're quite knowledgeable."

She completely didn't know anything about the fiancée of this person. That was just a guess since she remembered how Soujin and Yan acted when they heard about her 'brother death.' It turned out that her guess was correct though she didn't mean for it.

Jun Hua shook her head. "You shouldn't have tortured yourself just because of that…"

"I don't have any more reason to live," Prince You said. "I have stopped drinking the medicine and with it, I will be able to meet with her again in the next world."

There was no convincing this man, was it? Jun Hua felt like she couldn't talk with him anymore or she might really got swept up with his logic. But his love was really amazing. To actually wanting to stay with the person he loves, though it was really drastic.

"Don't you have anyone who cares for you?"

"I don't. She is the only one who will take care of me. With my sickly body, who would want to get close?"

Prince You had long stepped out from the battle for the throne. All he wanted was to live peacefully with his fiancée, but fate was saying a different thing. He couldn't stay with her, and he had to live his life alone.

Jun Hua couldn't possibly tell him to search for a new love. Because she had started to understand the feeling itself, she knew that once she had truly given the other person her heart, she couldn't take it back easily again. That was the only reason she still held her feeling back and didn't allow herself to fully indulge in that feeling.

"I see. Before your death, do you want to see the destruction of Kai Kingdom royal family?"

Jun Hua meaning was simple, if he didn't want to see it, she could send him first. But if he wanted to see it, she would allow it and let him die a natural death.

"How can possibly a little boy like you disrupt the entire Kai Kingdom?" Prince You stared in disbelief. The kid before him was surprisingly confident and slightly arrogant. But, from the way Jun Hua said it, he knew that the kid was dead serious.

Jun Hua smiled. "I will make use of the crazy prince of course."

"Crazy prince…?"

Prince You faintly remembered about his brother, Yang, who has been tagged as a crazy prince by the people in the capital. The reason being was he became extremely afraid whenever he saw an arrow near him. He would definitely run away or break into sweats before yelling towards the others.

He didn't know the detail though, only knew that from the moment the fight broke out and he was participating in it, he became really afraid of them. Because of that reason alone he didn't have any archer in his residence.

"Do you have any bow and arrow? I need to borrow them."

Seeing the smile on Jun Hua's face, Prince You could feel the dread, and he subconsciously backed down in fear. The boy in front of him was not an ordinary kid. How could he possibly let out such a cold aura and made him back off from him just by such simple words?

Jun Hua didn't seem surprised by the reaction on Prince You. She had guessed that her aura must reach him. Ever since the battle with Lan Pan, her aura had become even more powerful, and the pressure it exuded could make an ordinary person broke into sweats and didn't dare to move at all.

"I have, please waited for a moment," after a moment, he said while stammering his words.

"Thank you."
