#I won, so you're mine#
The capital fell, and the kingdom perished.
The corpse of Princess Nanyue was hung above the city gate for three days and three nights, as a warning against the remnants of the former dynasty.
A new dynasty was founded, and the kingdom was renamed Runing.
Eighteen years later.
The High Priest foretold that an evil spirit would descend upon the world, and that Runing would soon face an unavoidable calamity that would destroy it.
"Could you be the evil spirit the High Priest spoke of, Tutor?" asked the seventeen-year-old Princess Qingci, gazing at Nanyun with an utterly innocent smile.
Nanyun didn't seem offended in the least. Instead, she asked calmly, "Why would the princess think so?"
Princess Qingci tilted her head with an innocent air. Her fair face still held a trace of childishness. "Isn't it true?"
Nanyun smiled faintly. "And if I really am, what would the princess do?"
"Of course... I'd kill you with my own hands, Tutor."
Later, she really did as she had promised.
The following year, the former dynasty's princess marched on the capital with an army of sinister soldiers.
"It's been a long time, Your Highness."
"It has, Tutor."
① A former-dynasty princess who crawled out of hell x an ambitious princess of the current dynasty
