(Qin Zetian's POV)

I dogged as fast as I can and his. .h.i.ts became more brutal. I tried to evade his inner s.p.a.ce but his whip turned to a sword it slashed and tore the side of my pants. I jumped away.

He is willing to kill me and he's not doubting himself.

I tried to slip as fast as I could installing time and learning some patterns from his moves. I wanna see if he is only programmed to do the same paces and the same tricks again.

Then I noticed that when he throws his weapon he'll aim at the vital points of a person's body. Exactly 95° angle from the center point. His other side is left unguarded.

I rushed to that side and guarded myself against his. .h.i.ts.

But he caught my right foot. I stumbled on the ground then his whip tightened and my foot bled. The thorns embedded in his whip marked holes in my skin and it buried in. The bleeding stop for a while but the vine looking whip sucked my blood. My vision became blurry.

I crawled to get my sword.

I need to cut this whip.

I need to cut his strength.

But I was too weak.

I felt the world turning into a vast majority of darkness.

"Zetian!"

Someone shouted.

Then I saw myself falling into the abyss of unconsciousness.

Then I felt someone's warm embrace, catching me through. I wailed in agony as the whip tightened, then the whip at once left my foot.

My eyes are closed and no matter how I try I cannot open it. As if I was shot with a sedative drug. All I can hear is another battle, the clas.h.i.+ng of swords from opposite sides. Yet someone is still holding me, the feeling of being cared and never letting go.

"Her foot is almost crushed into nothingness, I don't know if she'll be able to walk after this"

"Let's just get her back to her room, I'll be the one taking care of him"

Then the same person lifted me in a bridal style. All of a sudden drowsiness was injected in my system making me fall in a deep slumber.

When I woke up, I feel the heat coming from my foot. I open my eyes.

"It's good that you're awake, it's been four days since you pa.s.sed out. Come let me help you, then drink this"

The crown prince helped me up. He is now wearing a red das.h.i.+ng robe that sparkles whenever he moves. This man, did he aspire to become a fairy when he reach adulthood?

I shook my head in disapproval.

His looks would be wasted if that's the case.

Don't they kill people who falls in love with the same s.e.x in this era?

Hmmm, I need to search about that.

"Are you telling me that you don't want to drink medicine?"

"Huh?"

"Too absent minded are we?"

Then he sat beside me.

"Why do you look at me like that?"

He asked, then I swallowed down my saliva.
