Lian hua sat by the pond her long hair touching the tip of the waters as she admired how beautiful her lotus pond was. She had maid servants who took care of it for her for days. "My beautiful lotus..pond." She said smiling.
Lian hua wore a red hanfu which was custom made by a Taylor. It was long up to her feet and it had red roses by each shoulder, and there was red lace wrapped around both of her hands. She wore a golden xiang lian (necklace)around her neck.
She had red shoes with golden specks and diamonds on the top of her shoes. She had a golden crown piece and golden pins in her long hair that dropped down at the bottom of her hair with a red flower in her hair.
As the princess of the hua realm (flower realm) it was appropriate for her to dress like this as always to show her maintained status. She was a kind hearted princess and nice to her people, however her father wasn't he was very strict and treated slaves like slaves.
Her father had no care in the world and he would want his daughter to be that way but she isn't at all like him she's more like her mother who had died in the war between the demon realm and the flower realm when she was just pregnant with her.
She gave birth to her in a tent and had died back then after just giving birth to her. Everyone was sad of her death lian hua the most she never knew anything about how her mother was like but she heard from many people.
"Gōngzhǔ(princess in Chinese) the king is ready for your presence at the main hall(court)." One of the guards said coming in and paying his respects by bowing and putting his hand in a fist on his chest.
It was their way of greeting people of higher status. "Thank you. I will be at his presence at once" he bowed and left. She stared at herself and her reflection in the water.
She then sighed and got up walking to the court as she walked by all of the maids who were there bow at her presence she smiled and kept walking until she was finally inside of the court.
When she was walking in the kings eunuch said out loud "the Gōngzhǔ (princess in Chinese) has arrived!!!!" Everyone greeted the lian hua as she walked in.
She took her seat as her father started to discuss royal matters.
Next to her sat the 3 princesses from the different realms. Shui nu of the water realm, xianu of the fairy land realm and shui jing of the healer realm.
"I've called you all here today to speak on some very important matters. You are all the rightful princesses of the different realms and clans..and it is only right that you all handle these matters." The king of the flower realm said
"Thank you for your praise wang(king in Chinese!" They all said bowing down. "My daughter will show you all around in the flower realm we hope you can enjoy your stay and rest easy." The king said smiling.
"Thank you for having us. We are delighted to be here after all this is such a magnificent realm." Said shui nu the princess of the water realm. "It is no problem at all. go and show them around my daughter." The king had said.
"Okay father right away come this way please." She said as they followed her around. "you're realm is so pretty..you're flowers remind me of what it's like back in fairy realm." Xian nu said. "I'm glad you like it."
"So...what's it like in the water realm?" Shui jing asked shui nu. "Well as you know being a half human and half mermaid is a special thing. I am very grateful for being able to walk on land and even swim in water. The waters are very different from you're realms I would show you all around sometime but it can be a dangerous thing."
"we would have love that. Sadly some of us probably can't even swim!" Xian nu said. "But however if you're willing to teach us." They all started laughing. "Yes we probably wouldn't mind well we have made it to you're manors." Lian hua said welcoming them in.
"If you all ever need anything our servants can tend to you so don't be afraid to ask! They are always here anytime you need them!" Lian hua said smiling.
"Thank you we appreciate it." They all said bowing to her. "Good I will see you all later!" She bid farewell to them as she leaves with her royal servants who were also following her around and her guard as well.
Xian Nu and shui jing were both preparing Chinese poems for the king dipping into their ink and stroking their brush lightly on the paper writing some beautiful poetic words
"Do you think he will like it?" Xian Nu asked. "Well the king is already super kind to us we are Showing our gratitude he must like it!"
The royal guards came in bowing at the presence of the princesses. "The royal king is seeking your presence at the court. Princess lian hua is waiting outside of you're manors for you."
The girls got up and put their brush down. "Yes we are ready." They both walk outside with their Hanfu dragging on the floor as they are in their rightful position while walking. "We are sorry to have keep you waiting so long." Said shui nu. "That is fine let us go to the main hall."
They all entered the court together as the eunuch loudly says as they enter. "Welcome the four princesses of the realms the flower realm, the water realm the fairy land realm and the healer realm !"
Everyone bowed and said "welcome princesses of the flower realm, water realm, fairy realm and healer realm!!" Bowing as well to show respect. The princesses waves and sat at their rightful seats before they would start talking about important matters again.
"Let's begin now the reason you are all here is because something very suspicious is going on between all the realms. There has been someone trying to sabotage and hurt you all..and we are going to get to the bottom of it. You all are safer in the flower realm for now until we figure it out." The king says.
Everybody in the court was talking amongst themselves. "How dare they!" "Whoever this is got nerve to try and hurt the rightful princesses of these realms!" "Right right" everybody sounded very worried for the safety of each princess.
"I suspect someone!" Someone said out loud. "Who? And what is you're reasoning?" The king asked. "The demon realm has always had problems with all the other realms especially the flower realm! Because of the war that happened years ago! No other person but the demon realm would wish harm upon others and the princesses!"
"That makes sense.." "yeah it's always the demon realm!" Some people muttered. "Okay we will investigate this matter deeply and make sure to find out the truth! The four princesses will take a trip to the demon realm; to find out the truth. We will trap whoever hurts or tries to harm any of the princesses if the person is really from the demon realm if he or she knows that the princess have entered the demon realm they will try to kill them and use variant methods and that way we can catch them in the trap!"
"That's a good idea!" The man said out loud. "Alright then it is a plan! Princesses! You must get ready prepare your things as you will take a trip to the demon realm tomorrow. To carry out the plan; you will take some of our guards and servants with you! They will have your back on the plan everyone dismissed!" The king said leaving first.
"Do you really think the demon realm would try and hurt us?" Xian nu asked. "I think they are ruthless and vicious people they did after all kill my mother!" Lian hua said.
"However that was years ago don't you think maybe they changed their ways?" Shui jing asked. "Nonsense the demon realm was never about peace they were the one who started the war years ago! What makes you think they will make peace now." Lian hua said.
Shui nu sighed, "well why do you think they would want to hurt us anyway?" She said holding her sword in her arm practicing her skills. "Because they are evil and ruthless people of course they would harm us for no absolute reason!" Lian hua said.
"No they must have a reason a motive of why they want to kill us. Yes they are evil people but evil people always mostly have a motive for when they do something like this. I mean I am not evil myself I wouldn't fully know." Xian nu said.
"Never mind that. We will follow out the plan like instructed my father is smart. He will know what to do." Lian hua said. "We cannot let these people take us over. We will get them first before they have the chance!" Lian hua noted.
"We will practice our skills today! And cultivate because tomorrow when we visit the demon realm we do not know what kinds of schemes we will be facing but we will have to face them! It's the demon realm it's not at all going to be a peaceful trip" lian hua said.
So the girls continued to practice and cultivate their fighting skills and powers because they needed to be ready for whatever was headed their way in the demon realm tomorrow.
By the next day the girls were ready. They waited for someone to pick them up. They went to the demon realm by boat. "Don't worry although I am a healer. I can also poison those who harm us if they try to along the way!"shui jing said.
The girls smiled. "Thank god we have such a powerful healer princess among us." Lian hua said. "I've made very deadly flowers as well if anyone dares to harm us I will make sure they have poisonous deadly flowers At their hand!"
The girls each had unique powers of their own they were very strong. Everyone respected and admired them though they were very powerful they never took advantage of their power and did anything horrible with the power they had.
They used their power for good because they were the respected princess so it was very questionable as why someone would want to hurt and harm them. "Don't worry we will all protect each other no one will get in our way! This plan has to work!" Shui nu said.
Xian nu looked a bit scared she was the most fragile among the rest. "Guys it's my first time to the demon realm and I am actually very scared of them.." she says looking down. "Do not worry we are all here with you there's no need to be scared you are a powerful fairy! You must remember you're status no one will harm you and even if they try they shall not succeed." Shui jing said.
After they had finally arrived at the demon realm. There was everyone wearing black hanfu and black hair pins in their hair. The prince of the demon realm would greet the princesses and help them to their manor. "Hello princesses welcome to the demon realm I am glad you could all make it we've prepared your manors we couldn't make it even special because we heard last minute you'd be arriving so sorry!" He said bowing a bit.
He was very handsome. He wore a black hanfu with a golden belt (to show his status of royalty) he had long black hair half of his hair was tied up in a pony tail and half was let down he had golden hair pins in his hair and he was a bit pale with the most beautiful lips.
He was called wangzi(prince in Chinese) yongchen he was very popular in the demon realm woman always swooned over him. He was very flirtatious but he never had any real intimate relationships with anyone.
He hated woman and men But he was still well known and most respected. Welcoming in the four princesses into their manors. "It's nice to meet all of you I heard many things about each princess you are all beautiful." He said winking. "If you need anything you can let me or my servants know I'm happy to tend to the four beautiful princesses."
Xian nu was so flustered by him. She barely said anything. The other girls bow. "We thank you for your service it is nice to meet you too." They said smiling. That quickly faded away though as the girls would remember why they are in the demon realm. They had to stay on task and get the job done without anyone noticing or suspecting them.
They settled down in their manor and discussed quietly with one another. "So how are we suppose to find this person? We are suppose to trap them out but how do we even do that in the first place?" Shui jing asked.
Shui nu looked at her. "Well..we let everyone in the demon realm know of our presence! As my Father did say there will be a banquet soon for the princes 197th birthday! We will obviously be invited right in time as we are visiting the realm! And then everyone will know we are in the realm and If it is really someone from this realm then we will find them because they will be at the banquet as well." Lian hua said. "You're right." Xian nu said.
