Chapter 340 - Sorry, I Was Wrong (1/2)

The chief executive stood up and said calmly, “I never told you anything. If he is killed and the princess doesn’t avenge his death, I hope that you can still stay by her side. I’ll feel reassured if the princess can be protected by someone as decent as Mr. Aoki.

Xiao Bing stood up and smiled, “Of course I will.”

Xiao Bing could tell that, the chief executive, though a cunning man, was very loyal to the princess.

The two went home after they left the dining room. Xiao Bing soon laid down on his bed after returning. It was a rough day for the princess and Xiao Bing also felt tired. Though Xiao Bing hated this country and its people very much, given how many people they had killed during that war, he still wouldn’t kill the innocent. But he was willing to massacre people on the battlefield.

Xiao Bing could even feel the spirits of those 470 men groaning about how unjustly they were treated. Some of them were indeed guilty of terrible crimes. But there were also those who committed crimes merely out of passion. But the princess took their lives away.

In truth, Xiao Bing was disgusted by what the princess had done. And the lesson he taught the princess today was not part of his plan for this country. He merely wanted to lead her to the right path, so that the lives of countless people might be saved.

Xiao Bing was once a soldier. Though the Dragon Gate was a special force. They were still soldiers。

Soldiers belonged to the battlefield. For them, most of the common people of their enemy states were innocent. So even though he was in a country that he hated very much, he knew not all of them were guilty. He couldn’t turn a blind eye. It was the conscience of a soldier.

Xiao Bing felt a little tired now. He wanted to call Yezi for a good talk. But he couldn’t. And it had been a week since he talked to her last.

The next morning, Xiao Bing got up and went out to have his breakfast. But where the princess breakfasted was different from his. The moment Xiao Bing walked into the yard after he finished his breakfast he saw a group of workers walking and carrying some tools on their shoulders. Curious, Xiao Bing asked a guard, “What are these people doing here? Are they going to build something?”

The guard shook his head and said quietly, “No. For some unknown reason Her Highness wants to demolish the fighting pit.” It used to be her favorite place. We never imagined she would make such a sudden decision. But it gladdens our heart to see it fall.”

Indeed it was a good decision.

There was a glint in Xiao Bing’s eyes. It seemed that although the princess had committed serious crimes, she was not completely incurable.

A servant girl waved to Xiao Bing from afar, “Mr. Aoki, the princess summons you.”

“Okay.” Xiao Bing headed towards the princess’s place. Voices of discussion about how powerful he was drifted into his ears.

When they entered the hall, the handmaid said, “The princess invites you into her chamber.”

“Okay.” Xiao Bing walked to the stairs and made his way upstairs.

He walked to the second floor and saw Eguchi Nakayama standing in front of the princess’s room. “My Royal Highness, you demolished your favorite fighting pit. Is it because of that Aoki Ichiro? He’s nothing more than a lowly servant. You don’t need to care about what he thinks.”

There was door between Eguchi Nakayama and Princess Nami. It looked like the princess didn’t want him in there.

The princess’s voice drifted from inside, “It has nothing to do with Mr. Aoki.”

Eguchi Nakayama asked, “Then is it because of the chief executive? Actually, he’s also a servant of yours. The old man is in no place to tell you what to do.”

“It’s not about him either. I made this decision on my own. I don’t want to kill any more people.”
