Book 19: Chapter 16
Okay, okay. It went well. It went very well.
The four sisters let out a breath of relief and rushed to the stables. Once they ascertained there was nobody around, Liu Yue quietly called, White Deer King! White Deer King! Are you still here?
Snort.
They heard an unhappy voice. Next, they heard the rustling of straws. The White Deer King poked her head out. Liu Yue knew that the White Deer King was actually fond of them despite the latters grumpy look. She also knew the White Deer King was acting reserved due to the latters pride.
White Deer King, can you take us to the port? We need you to be fast. Take us there as fast as you can.
Liu Yue caressed the White Deer Kings neck. With a smile, she fed the White Deer King a piece of candy. While the White Deer King wore an annoyed look, she never spat the candy out. When you receive something from others, you have to cater to them. Thus, even the proud White Deer King had to get up and come out after eating their candy.
Seeing as the White Deer King was persuaded, Daisy led it outside. She pulled over the White Deer Kings carriage. The four sisters quickly connected the cart up to the White Deer King. The White Deer King looked over her shoulder, bewildered. She mused over what the four were up to. Their father made the carriage specifically for the White Deer King but had to plead the White Deer King in every way to convince her to accept it. The carriage finally got the chance to serve.
You girls get in. Ill ride.
All right!
Daisy climbed up onto the White Deer Kings back alone; however, the horse reins her father prepared specifically for her didnt quite fit her. The girl, consequently, had no choice but to tightly grab the reins to avoid being thrown off. The White Deer King stamped her feet a few times. Daisy patted the White Deer Kings neck: Were counting on you, White Deer King. Take us to the port. You must be fast, okay? Fast!
The White Deer King snorted. Liu Yue ran to the entrance to pull the doors open. The White Deer King sped out. It truly went at top speed as Daisy requested, thereby almost throwing her off. Daisy screamed in a high-pitched voice. She grabbed the reins in front of her with one hand while grabbing the White Deer Kings fur with her other hand.
The three sisters and youngster in the carriage were literally bouncing off walls inside. It was nothing short of torture in there. The three sisters shrieked. They grabbed onto anything they could get their hands on. If they didnt, they could very well be thrown out. The carriage intensely rocked as though it was going to break apart.
Vera, it hurts!!
Im hurting, too!! I didnt deliberately bump into you! What can I do?! I cant steady myself!
Nona held her head because she fell on the floor. Unfortunately, before she could recover from that she flew up and hit the rear of the carriage, blowing the door right open. The strong wind kept the door open. Nona screamed as she grabbed onto the doorframe. Her predicament was comparable to a leaf in turbulent winds.
Nona!!!
Vera wanted to rush over to Nona pulled her back in. She cared about Nona most among all of her sisters since they shared the same parents. However, she, herself, was in danger within the carriage. It was virtually impossible to reach out to Nona. Liu Yue struggled to keep herself from falling out, as well. Veras back trapped Liu Yues tail against the wall, so she couldnt budge. Nona screamed while grabbing on to the thin doorframe with all of her might. Her body dangled outside the carriage. The frame of the carriage didnt look as though it could hold up any longer. Nona screamed and cried for it to stop, but Daisy couldnt hear her with the winds blowing. Daisy had to give all of her focus to steadying herself; else, she wouldve been flung off. She had no time to worry about her sisters in the rear.
Help me! Help me!! Please!! Help me! Sister! Liu Yue!!
Nona cried out to her sisters in tears. Vera screamed and desperately attempted to go over to Nona, but as soon as she moved, she was almost thrown out. Liu Yue desperately tried to pull her tail free, but as soon as she pulled it out from between the wall and Veras body, she lost her balance. She shrieked as she let go, thereby nearly leading to her flying out.
Vera!!
When Liu Yue wanted to jump out and transform to save her two sisters, the youngster rushed over. He caught Veras before she flew out, and then he flung her to the rear. He then immediately grabbed Nona, who almost passed out from crying. The youngster squatted down inside the carriage to gain his balance. He grabbed onto the edge of the carriage with one hand grabbed Nonas hand with his other. He pulled her back and shut the door behind them before finally locking it.
The three sisters brought it upon themselves. They thought of everything but forgot to lock the door. Vera quickly crawled over to her crying and quivering sister. She tightly hugged Nona and stroked her back. In a shaky voice, she comforted Nona by her ear: Its okay now. Its okay now. Sister. Nona. Its okay now. Its okay now. Its all right now, its all right now. Its okay now. Its okay now. Dont be scared. Dont be scared. I will protect you. Ill definitely protect you.
Liu Yue slowly slid down the wall and panted. What just transpired was truly frightening. It wouldnt be overreacting if Nona was to wet herself. Even Liu Yue would break several bones if she was flung out at that speed.
. The youngster, who was playing dead the entire time, suddenly stepped up and saved her two sisters. He mustve been very scared himself. Still, he rushed over and saved her sisters. Though Liu Yue was aware that he dared to do anything for his Queen, the idiot seemed to be willing to risk his life for anybody and everybody.
That was a close one, remarked the youngster, panting.
The youngster looked at Liu Yue and continued slightly panting. Judging from his fear after the incident, he was definitely scared. Maybe his fear never disappeared. He and licked his lips. Baffled, he asked, Where exactly are we? You We
Were going to the pier.
Liu Yue gave a simple response. Then, she copied his pose, placing her hands overhead to prevent herself rocking.
Vera continued hugging her sister. Due to reluctance, she lingered for a bit before softly explaining, Thank you for saving me just now and my sister. Thank you very much Mm, were now headed to the pier. Were going to get onto the ship to go to your nation.
Youve agreed?! asked the youngster.
Liu Yue calmly explained, We agreed from the start. Though our dad has refused, we will go and help you. With that said, we dont know what to do, ourselves.
You just need to come over. Believe me. Believe in me. Ill definitely protect you from harm as I did just now. I promise to protect you with my life.

Current Time with Sylvanas and Irina.
My sons letter? How rare. I remember he should have something on his agenda today.
Irina enthusiastically tore open the envelope and passed the letter to Sylvanas. She just said she didnt have any feelings for Troy and merely did what she did for the dragon race, but it seemed that her body had matured. Sylvanas set down the letter. She stood up and peered outside: What happened with my granddaughters? Irina, how much longer until were done?
We need about one week.
Thats not too bad, then. I estimate we need a week to get from here to that unknown place. Well fly there once were done. I dont want to let my cute granddaughters to be in danger. Moreover, this is my sons request. As his mom, I cant sit and watch. Irina, are you coming?
Sylvanas turned around to look at Irina, only to see that Irina had already transformed her hands into claws. Irina checked every single one of her fingers before looking up at Sylvanas. With a menacing smile, she replied, It will be all right. I am prepared. Queen Dowager Sylvanas, we can leave at any time
Sylvanas found herself stupefied. She suddenly felt that Irina didnt seem to be what she imagined. She thought female dragons werent aggressive But this particular female dragon appeared to be different Her son and Irina had nothing to do with each other, so the latter claimed
