Their condition is a bad condition at the moment. Ni Qing goes forward to the maid to find her pass away from the wound on her back. She moves to check the man wound to get hold tight on his hand. They look so cautious and scares as one of the men appears as the royal family. She realises his position as the King of Bai Lan.

"Your humble people are greeting to your royal highness King of Bai Lan," Ni Qing gives him respect toward the wounded king in front of her.

"How do you know me?" He gives her a sign to stand up and put her formality behind.

"I am working for General Lin Yue from the Dayu Kingdom, so I have followed him to go to your country for few times. So, I am all familiar with you and your royal family. I am deeply sorry for everything that happens to your country and your family. However, you need to recuperate first and revenges your pain later…" Ni Qing is advising the person in front of him. her main reason is to stop the war. It will not benefit the people of the two countries.

"I really hate myself at the moment to remember that I failed to protect my own family. I do not know to face my wife and my son in the afterlife," The King is whimpering with sorrow. Meanwhile, Ni Qing picks up the crying baby and rocks him on her arm. She tries to find the water dew on the leaves and put it in his smallmouth. The baby stops crying straight away.

"Your highness… I will help you to get better and stop all this madness made by your brother… your royal highness son is really thirsty, and we need to find him some milk if you still want to keep the prince alive. Do not weep for something that already lost your highness… I am sincerely apologising for my harsh word," Ni Qing is rocking the baby to sleep.

"Thank you for your kindness, miss…" The King of Bai Lan is trying to sit in his upright position. His guard is trying to help him to stand up even with their wound. They are trying to resort to their last energy to survive.
