[The Twelve Kingdoms] I Grant You Glory

King and Kirin: The bond between a kirin and its king transcends all existence. The king is the source of a kirin's spirit and its very life.

When she first heard those words, she didn't believe them at all. She even thought Jing Qi was exaggerating. Now, she understood exactly how it felt.

His presence carried the gentle warmth of an ideal land. It was like finding the sun in the bitter cold of winter, or glimpsing dawn's light in the midnight darkness.

That was her king.

"By Heaven's decree, I welcome my lord. From this day forth, I will not disobey your commands or leave your side. I swear my loyalty." In the faint light of dawn, she bowed her head, and a shimmer of light hovered above her.

"I forgive you." The warm-smiling young man looked down at the kneeling girl. "Then will you always stay by my side?"

Zong Lin looked at Heng Ning and answered softly, "I will."

Those two words of promise gave Heng Ning the confidence to say, "I will also do everything I can to govern our country and bring you a prosperous age."

"Good."

|A friendly note| The heroine is a kirin, lively and noble, with a tsundere disposition. I hope you enjoy the story.
