BXBX NOVEL Chapter 208 - 208. Thank You
As their eyelids opened, everyone fell to their knees, slumped to the floor with a feeling that was hard to describe.
A shield with golden runes engraved on it seemed to fill the air, forming a dome as far as the eye could see.
It was Fu Xie Lan's protective magic. A few minutes after that huge explosion, the golden runes that were drawn in the air slowly faded and seemed to recede towards their owner.
Making everyone's gaze follow where the rune ended.
Up there, Fu Xie Lan suddenly coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood. Her skin looks very pale. Drooping weakly in Gu Yi's arms.
The girl forced herself to cast protective magic in a very wide range. As a result, she was injured.
As for Gu Yi, the man cursed himself. Not without reason.
Previously, the man had also created a shield, only the area was so small. It was only limited to the protectors that included Fu Xie Lan, Wan Lie, his two bodyguards, the Xue brothers, and Hao because the ruler was not at all concerned about the safety of humans in the palace.
And what he did turn out to have an impact on his Queen. He never thought that Fu Xie Lan would do such a thing. Something that made him ashamed of himself.
Whereas previously he thought that his queen seemed to have changed a bit after rebirth. Because her cold and indifferent personality is very different from her old warmth.
But it turned out to be the same.
He thought like that because the humans who were in the palace, no one had ever treated her well, even though it was only in the form of harsh sentences but for him it was unforgivable.
Very different from Fu Xie Lan who saved them as if she had forgotten all the attitude she had received.
Suddenly another wave occurred and spread throughout the palace, reaching and passing everyone.
And at the same time, everyone was frozen in place as if in confusion. They looked at each other with the same expression.
Black roses tattoos slowly disappeared from everyone's bodies.
As far as the eye could see, all they found was destruction. The palace hall and the entire building that reached their view were shattered, razed to the ground. Fallen trees even the palace walls are so high cracked in some parts. There was nothing left. The destruction of all the buildings allowed everyone to see each other's position.
"What happened?" someone muttered trying to get up from his position. His body looks very sticky with billowing dust sticking to his forehead and on his long, loose hair.
"I feel like I just woke up from a dream," murmured another, rubbing the back of his neck.
"It wasn't a dream, but real. Look around you," said another.
Those who heard that scanned their position with a look of horror.
Not a few of them fell back on their knees on the ground, while several others were glued to the spot as if digesting what had happened.
"Is the self-detonating real?" asked someone more like a statement.
"And the Queen? Princess Fu Xie Yan? Is it all real?" murmured the others.
"Murderer!!" shouted someone running into the ruins of the hall while pointing at bodyguard Bai.
"Those who killed the Queen and Princess Fu Xie Yan!!" he shouted again.
Those who were inside the hall earlier did not respond and simply remained silent.
"What are you doing? they are the cause of this chaos," shouted the man again facing all the participants who had previously been in the hall.
"Stop babbling," said one participant.
"What nonsense is he talking about," murmured the other with a tired sigh.
Be grateful that you can still breathe now," said a woman who was trying to get up from her position.
"After all that you pinned on them was wrong. They are not murderers but our saviors."
"Huh?"
"Come on, don't add to my bburdenleast now we're all safe. And the one behind all this chaos is dead."
"But, I still don't understand one thing. Why did we bow to that fake emperor before? AND WHERE IS EMPEROR FU QING?" another one shouted as if he had just realized one thing.
At this moment, everyone seemed so confused. They all remember everything they ever did without exception. Starting when the previous queen was accused of treason, the princess Fu Xie Lan died in exile to the current events.
No matter how many times they try to think all and connect them, not clarity is encountered but adds to their confusion.
That's because all of the humans are under the influence of the fake King's magic," a woman's voice in the middle of the crowd immediately caught everyone's attention. It was Xue Ning, the girl was standing right next to Xue Ying and the others.
"So all this time? Wow..."
"Is the concubine who became queen and gave birth to princess Fu Xie Yan also a witch?" someone asked.
Xue Ning who heard this just nodded.
"Fu Xie Yan is not the king's biological daughter," Xue Ning said, making those who heard it even more stunned.
"How can that be? But we saw her grow from a small age," said another.
Xue Ning didn't respond, and instead, the girl just shrugged her shoulders.
It took them a few minutes to digest everything that was happening.
"Stupid! That means from the start the concubine had planned all this, even using a child to smooth out their plans," guessed another.
"That means, don't say that the death sentence that befell the queen back then was also their plan?"
Suddenly everyone fell silent, struggling with their thoughts, including participants from other kingdoms, they seemed to have more or less known about the problems that occurred in this kingdom.
"I suddenly miss princess Fu Xie Lan," a sigh came from the mouth of one of the soldiers who joined in.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for saving us," said one participant with a slight bow in thanks and respect, which was then followed by the others.
Likewise with those who previously insulted the group of participants from the Hunter Village. Feel ashamed and self-deprecating.
And in the end, they realized, that judging something by just seeing or hearing it is not something that can be justified.
"Forgive us, forgive all our mistakes," they said almost simultaneously again bowing lower than before.
Everyone did the same, even the princess and participants from other kingdoms who were around the hall also did the same.
Immediately a feeling of emotion filled the chests of Xue Ning and the others.
Except for two people, Gu Yi who was still with his cold gaze, and Fu Xie Lan who was already drooping weakly unconscious.
