2.

Ying Yue enters the royal court of the Northern empire and greets the emperor and empress while making a slight bow;

Ying Yue: His imperial majesty, sun of the

great Northern empire and her

imperial majesty, moon of the great

Northern empire, Ying Yue wishes u

longevity on behalf of the Southern

empire.

Emperor: As expected of the renowned princess

it seems the rumors around are not

exaggerated at all. Today, we've

prepared a banquet to welcome u in

our empire. U are expected to join it

in the evening and at the same time u

can have some fun, familiar yourself

with the people around (Princes)

Ying Yue: It's my great honour to join in your

imperial majesty.

(A guard suddenly arrives panting nonstop asking the royal emperor the permission to announce the emergency news from borders. )

Emperor: Why all the fuss?! What's the matter...

Prime minister will'ya explain what

the fuss is all about...

prime

minister: Your majesty we've gotten the news

from borders asking for reinforcement

the refugees near the border between

Western and our empire are getting out

of control and our men are not able to

calm them down.

Emperor: What?! Didn't we send the money to

u officals to provide them for their

living, food.. huh??...then why are they

revolting again?!

Prime

minister: Your majesty, the funds for those

People were not enough according to

the officials

Emperor: Can somebody tell me how the funds

were not enough even though i

ordered to take the funds counting the

no. of people

( A person suddenly stands from the group of princes and goes in front of the emperor and empress)

(....) : Your majesty please calm down, according

to my investigation the fund for them

was not enough because the corrupted

officials were using the funds for their own

benefits due to which the people who lost

their houses and food were not able to

feed their family. A lot of people died and a

no. of people have been infected with

some unknown disease. If u would give me

the permission i would like to take some

doctors and an army with some food for

the refugees.

( The crowd whispers in a low voice: isn't he the second prince?...oh the unfavored prince..but isn't he supposed to be quiet and mediocre...it seems he's trying to show off how brave he is... Don't care he's just gonna die there. I heard the pandemic at the border is pretty serious it transfers from people to people many people there are infected and dying day by day....the second prince is just digging his own grave ...he really is a fool )

Ying yue on the side listens to all the gossip on the court

Ying Yue: xinxin, do you know anything

about the second prince(whisper)

xinxin:. Your highness, have u forgotten? At

the funeral of your older brother prince

Ning when u were twelve years old u

were crying and walking around the

garden and u suddenly slipped in the

pond at that time second prince was

the one who saved u...he was also a

close friend of pince Ning..After that

incident u would always hang around

the second prince until his departure.

Ying Yue: Oh! now that u mention it i can

remember him huh...I would always

follow him around but when he

disappeared..i fell sick my fever was

so high i was in great pain and maybe

after that i unconsciously didn't want

to remember the pain and had

forgotten him.

Emperor: Good good now that the cause of the

problem has been found i will give u

the permission to punish those

corrupted officials and hand u this

tiger token... if u can handle this

matter well a great reward will be

awaiting you .

Second

prince: I won't disappoint you your majesty.

Ying Yue:. Your imperial majesty, Please excuse

my interference but i would also like

to accompany the second prince .

Please grant me your permission

your majesty.
