Chapter 5 - Spark at the Training Ground

The sweet morning sun has not yet spread all around, but the excitement is already building at the state's main training ground. Ming Yi was regularly practicing with his own troops—Zhao, Moon, Lan, and Min. Just then, the sound of a horse's hooves interrupted their attention.

General Lin Huisen rode into the field on his razor-sharp horse. There was a contemptuous smile on his face, which Ming Yi really disliked. Lin Huisen's 'Playboy' image is known throughout the kingdom, but to Ming Yi, he is just an arrogant man.

"I heard our Sword Princess, after dancing, She has now become skilled with the sword," Lin Huisen got off the horse and said with a soft smile, "Would you like to test it out?"

Ming Yi's head was hot with anger. 

She pulled out his sword and said,

"General, my sword is not only for dancing, but also for shedding the enemy's blood. If you don't forget to wield your sword, then come."

A fight broke out between the two. Flames of fire are blazing from the shores of Sword. Ming Yi's speed was lightning fast, but Lin Huisen was very tactical. He knew where to apply force.

At one point in the fight, Lin Huisen suddenly came very close to Ming Yi. The two of them were breathing on each other's faces. 

Lin Huisen sighed and said,

"Your eyes say you hate me, Princess. But your sword says you misrecognize me."

Ming Yi pushed him away.

Ming Yi said,

"You are only a magician of words, General. But remember, in the struggle for power, words are not the real thing, but deeds."

Lin Huisen smiled softly, but a deep respect for Ming Yi appeared in his eyes. He knew that it wasn't easy to win over a girl like Ming Yi.

Standing outside the training ground, Zhao watched their fight with a slight discomfort in his eyes. He loves Ming Yi, but Ming Yi's chemistry with the general creates a secret fear in his mind.

When he was young, Zhao had no one. His parents died, so his uncle took him out. He was hungry and stole food from a shop, but the shopkeeper saw him and chased him. He was caught at one point and tried to beat him. Ming Yi was riding a horse along that road. Seeing Zhao being beaten, she saved him and brought him to the palace.

Since then, Zhao has respected and loved Ming Yi. He wants Ming Yi always to be well. He knows that the princess will not marry a simple soldier like him. So he wants Ming Yi to marry someone who will love and respect her very much, so that Ming Yi will not have any problems.

In the fight between Lin Huisen and Ming Yi, Lin Huisen eventually won. This made Ming Yi very angry. Even though her soldiers tried to calm her down, her anger did not subside.

Lin Huisen's soldiers came to tell him about a task, so he left. On the other hand, Ming Yi started practicing swordplay on his own to reduce his anger. Eventually, his anger subsided a bit.

Zhao makes some juice for him. After his anger subsides, he starts drinking the juice. Zhao smiles brightly at his behavior.
