Kuina nodded. ”Yes, it's that place.”
Jun Hua walked towards the rock and watched the scene before her. Even though she usually fought in the mountain areas, she has never climbed this high. From that specific place, she could see the entire areas of Mountain Kingdom very clearly.
The scenery was beyond beautiful. The lush forest on the hill, the houses on the mountain foot, and the river that separated the forest made the environment exceptionally picturesque. Jun Hua was sure she could stay here for hours and didn't get bored.
”When the sun set, the scenery become even more beautiful,” Kuina remarked. She sat down on the rock and looked towards the view before her. ”I really love this kingdom, and I wish this scenery stayed like this.”
Jun Hua looked towards the horizon. It was indeed beautiful and this shall be her home from now. She smiled slightly. It seemed the empress was only slow in regards of things regarding military and politics. When it came to other things, she was surprisingly quick.
”It might not stay the same because of war,” Jun Hua said slowly. She obviously cannot guarantee that the war won't reach this place. However, she did plan to lower the damage done to this place.
”But I can promise you that I won't let Mountain Kingdom fall.”
Kuina nodded her that. ”That's already more than enough.”
The two of them sat down on those rocks for dozens of minutes after that. They didn't talk to each other and let their mind wander around, thinking various things.
When they have satisfied, they returned back to the palace.
”Empress Kuina, I hear that you sneak out again?” General Tou greeted Kuina when the empress was sneaking towards her room.
Kuina stopped in her tracks. ”I'm just walking around a little with Princess Hua.”
General Tou shook his head. ”She still has a lot of task to do because of her capabilities. You too have your own responsibility to do. Please don't forget them.”
”I won't,” Kuina answered immediately.
Looking at the woman before him, General Tou could only sigh. He nodded to her before walking towards another room to meet with Jun Hua. However, what greeted him inside the room was the sound of Jun Zhenxian pestering his granddaughter.
”Jun Hua, you shouldn't have ditched your work like that,” Jun Zhenxian said in righteous tone.
Jun Hua picked the paper on the table. ”Don't worry. I can still finish them quickly.”
General Tou nodded his head in agreement. If it was Jun Hua, he wouldn't have any doubt that she won't finish her work. He was about to knock the room and enter when Jun Zhenxian voice was heard.
”Not that. If you want to ditch your work, you should have taken me with you, so I can ditch my work too!”
Jun Hua: ”…”
General Tou: ”...” I think I really should lock that old man inside the room to not let him ditch any work.
