Moonlight City twenty years ago.

Yue Hongxuan stood on top of the high city tower, looking out at the desert and the Gobi in the distance. A city wall that separates two very different worlds.

Yue Hongxuan often went to the frontier, perhaps to personally reconnoiter the enemy's situation, perhaps to calm the army's mind, or just to walk.

He looked into the distance, the yellow sand stained the distant sky a turbid yellow, and in the depths of the desert, there was always a force ready to move. He knew that the wall under his feet was like nothingness, and what really blocked the restlessness was the barrier built by the invisible wall between the desert and the city, the "shell" of the moonlight.

"Is the king still waiting?" asked a man in military uniform behind him.

"Hmm......" Yue Hongxuan nodded plausibly, "General Lian is working hard to guard the frontier. ”

The general leaned over: "It's all about the Yuehua barrier." ”

"How are the family?"

"Gu is in the city. ”

"I remember, your son's name is Lianpu, right?"

"Exactly. The general nodded.

"Good students teach that the Guards are still short of guards. ”

"Your Majesty——!" Suddenly, a hurried voice sounded from behind, Yue Hongxuan turned around, and a person dressed as a civil official was standing under the city wall, raising his head and shouting.

"Queen, Queen!"

Hearing the word "queen", he was stunned for a moment.

Yue Hongxuan walked into the palace quickly, and the baby's loud cry made him speed up his pace.

He lifted the curtain and peeked in, smiling on his face.

"Your ......" heard the sound of "Ding Lingdang" when the curtain was lifted, and the woman lying on the bed barely smiled, still a little weak.

Yue Hongxuan stepped forward to help her lie down: "You don't need to get up, you don't need to get up." ”

"Your Majesty, it's a princess. The old woman who delivered the baby smiled and flattered the baby in her arms to Yue Hongxuan.

Yue Hongxuan bent down slightly to pick up his daughter, looked down at his wife who was lying on the bed with a tired face, and then looked at Yue Ling, who was standing on the side of the bed and was about the same height as the bed legs, and looked at the baby in swaddling clothes with a happy face.

Seeing Yue Hongxuan, the baby stopped crying, and a pair of bright purple eyes looked at Yue Hongxuan, crystal clear.

Yue Hongxuan became more and more happy, bowed his head and said to Yue Ling: "Ling, you have a sister." ”

Yue Ling didn't have any expression on her face, just blinked quietly.

"Sister?" Yue Ling said, her voice crisp and beautiful, "Will my sister be with me?"

"Of course. ”

"Will my father pass the throne to my sister?"

Yue Hongxuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect these words to come out of Yue Ling's mouth, still at this age. So he squatted down with the baby in his arms and looked at Yueling.

"Ling, who told you this?"

Yueling shook her head: "No one told me. ”

Yue Hongxuan smiled: "Ling, I can't decide who the throne will pass on, because the monarch must first have a national heart." ”

Yue Ling looked at him as if she didn't understand.

"You're a sister, you have to protect your sister for the rest of your life, you know?"

Yueling poked her head out, and the baby was smiling at her.

"I want to protect my sister for the rest of my life. Yue Ling repeated this sentence to herself.

Yue Hongxuan got up and said, "Just call her...... Yuelong. ”

As soon as the words fell, a dazzling purple light rushed into the hall from the window. Yue Hongxuan was taken aback, and couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart.

"It's the central square!" Yue Hongxuan handed Yue Long to the midwife, brushed his sleeves and walked out of the main hall, and the guards guarding the door hurriedly followed: "Your Excellency!"

"Don't call the army, I'll go personally. Yue Hongxuan waved his hand and sent him back.

On the square, a purple pillar of light pointed to the sky from the center, and a large number of people had already gathered around, pointing at the pillar of light in horror or horror.

"Everyone," Yue Hongxuan stepped forward, "Everyone, please step aside. ”

"It's the king, hurry, make way for the king. ”

"Why did you come in person?"

"Is it a bad omen?"

"Impossible, don't talk nonsense......"

For a while, discussions came and went.

Yue Hongxuan stood in front of the pillar of light and said nothing.

Seeing Yue Hongxuan come forward, the pillar of light slowly thinned, and purple particles of light surrounded a graceful figure and walked out of the pillar of light.

The discussion came to an abrupt end.

Yue Hongxuan bowed to the figure: "Welcome to the goddess." ”

Slowly, the pillar of light disappeared, and a woman in a purple robe stood in the air, wrapped in purple points of light, with a graceful posture and unusual beauty.

The people who were talking about it just now all fell to their knees at this moment, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

The woman smiled at Yue Hongxuan: "I heard that the second princess was born, and I came to congratulate her." And there is a word to speak to the king. ”

Yue Hongxuan owed: "Listen to me." ”

The goddess spoke: "I hope that the king can pass on the throne of Moonlight City to the second princess." If so, the City of Moonlight will last forever. ”

Yue Hongxuan was stunned for a moment and frowned.

Why such a coincidence?

"Can the goddess tell Yue Hongxuan the reason?"

The woman shook her head slightly: "This is the will of heaven, and I can't say much." ”

Looking for the cause to no avail, Yue Hongxuan had to thank him again: "Yue Hongxuan must obey the holy decree." ”

The goddess nodded, and with a slight wave of her sleeve, a string of moonlight sprinkled down, illuminating the entire central square.

The light dissipated, and the figure of the goddess was gone, leaving only the minarets in the square still standing in groups.

Yue Hongxuan got up and thought for a moment. After a long time, he sighed and turned around: "Everyone is frightened, go back." ”

In the crowd, Yueling's small figure was not noticed, but there seemed to be something hidden in her eyes, which was indistinguishable and unpredictable.

......

Ten years later.

"Father, why?!" Yue Long looked at Yue Hongxuan, and then at Yue Ling, with a puzzled expression.

Yue Hongxuan didn't explain, just smiled slightly: "No problem, Ling?"

Yueling, who was standing on Yuelong's side, leaned over: "No objection, father." ”

"Then," Yue Hongxuan got up, "the ceremony is set for tomorrow, and I'm leaving." ”

Following Yue Hongxuan, Yue Ling also walked out, leaving Yue Long standing alone in the room, looking at the backs of the two uneasily.

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind her.

"Congratulations, future queen~"

Startled by this voice, Yuelong hurriedly turned around, and a teenager appeared in front of her. The boy looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, a little taller than Yuelong, with light brown hair, wearing a guard's suit, and smiling very well.

"Leon," Yuelong didn't be happy, but looked at him with some concern, "If Yuehua's 'li' is sealed in my body, does it mean that I will become the next king of Moonlight City?"

The boy nodded and replied briskly, "Yes, you are the queen." ”

"But," Yuelong looked up, a pair of purple eyes were a little charming, but she was just ten years old, but she had already grown into a heart-warming appearance, "I don't want to be a queen." ”

"How nice it is to be a queen, to rule a country and sit on a courtier, so happy!" Leon said to her, gesturing to her, as if he were the one who had truly become king.

"When I become the queen, won't I be able to see you?" asked Yuelong, looking at him.

Leon stopped dancing and turned to look at her. After a long time, he reached out and touched Yuelong's head: "Don't worry~ I was originally responsible for protecting you, how could I leave you~!"

Then, he knelt down on one knee in front of Yuelong: "Your Royal Highness Princess." ”

"I will always protect you. ”

......

Another five years.

"What did you say?" Yue Hongxuan turned to look at Yue Long with an incredulous expression, "You want to marry Leon?"

Yuelong nodded: "Yes, I want to marry him." ”

Yue Hongxuan seemed to be really angry, he closed his eyes while waving his hand at Yue Long: "No, absolutely not!"

"Why!" Yuelong stepped forward, secretly surprised at where she had the courage to defy her father.

"Your mother died young, and I don't want her to see you unhappy. ”

"How do you know that I won't be happy if I marry Leon!"

"As a princess of a country, how can you marry your own close guard!"

Outside of the quarrel, Yueling sat on the chair with a sneer.

"Needless to say," Yue Hongxuan waved his hand, "You go out first." ”

Yue Long knew that he couldn't convince Yue Hongxuan, so he had to walk out of the hall with tears in his eyes.

"It's really ......," Yue Hongxuan shook his head.

"Leon is an upright and kind person, he has protected his sister since he was a child, and he is excellent in martial arts, why does his father oppose it?" Yue Ling got up and asked.

Yue Hongxuan shook his head: "There has never been such a case in Moonlight City for hundreds of years, you can't break the rules, this kind of marriage will not be blessed." ”

"Then ......" Yue Ling laughed, standing behind Yue Hongxuan, her eyes flashing with a hint of vicious and cunning, "Father, why don't you transfer Leon to the side to participate in this battle?"

Yue Hongxuan turned to look at her. A year ago, the alien race began to invade on a large scale, although there was a curtain of Yuehua to block, but the alien arrogance became more and more vigorous, Yue Hongxuan decided to send troops to conquer and frustrate its edge.

"If he returns victorious, it is a gift from heaven, and you can marry your sister to him in the name of marriage, and if he dies in battle, there is nothing to be done, and you need not bother with it, father. ”

Yue Hongxuan secretly thought about it in his heart. This war must be seven or eight out of ten, and it is a little cruel.

"Father, the ancestral precepts cannot be violated. After saying this, Yueling got up and walked towards the house.

......

"What!" Yuelong looked at Leon in front of him, tears welling up in her eyes.

"He actually asked you to go to battle!

Leon smiled, a little helpless. Now he has become a handsome young man with strong strength, and the armor on his body makes him even more eye-catching.

"It's okay," Leon patted her on the shoulder and turned his head to look at the other young man beside her, "It's okay to have Lian Pu with me." ”

Yuelong nodded, but there was a worried look on her face.

"When I return, I will marry you in the right name. ”

"I'll wait for you. ”

......

Another two years.

Yuelong stood by the window, looking at the snow. Her long purple hair fell down her waist like a waterfall, and the clothes on her body were a little thin, but she showed her graceful figure.

"Your Royal Highness Princess! Your Highness Princess!!" came the urgent voice of the valet from outside the door.

"Rai...... Captain Leon!"

Looking at her face crying with joy, suddenly, Yuelong's eyes brightened.

Walking quickly to the front of the hall, Yuelong's outstretched hand to push the door retracted.

Why? Why is it that way.

No, my father wouldn't be like that.

Biting her lip, Yuelong nervously pushed open the door of the main hall.

At that moment, she froze.

Leon, her Leon, was kneeling on the ground at the moment, countless arrows stuck in his body, he supported his body with a sword in one hand, and raised his eyes to look at Yue Hongxuan, who was sitting on the top of the main hall with a surprised face, and Yue Ling, who was standing beside him.

All eyes converged on Yuelong's body at this moment.

Yuelong rushed forward like crazy and knelt in front of Leon. She reached out to hold Leon's face, but didn't know what to say.

Leon smiled, leaned into Yuelong's ear, and spoke softly.

"Long, I'm sorry......"

Before he finished speaking, his hand holding the sword loosened and fell on Yuelong's body.

There was a sudden deathly silence above the main hall.

Yuelong's hands were stained with Leon's blood, and those hands were trembling.

In the central square outside the Imperial City, all the minarets began to emit a faint purple light.

"Long ......" Yue Hongxuan got up and walked towards His Highness.

Yue Long raised his head and looked at Yue Hongxuan with a vacant look.

Yue Hongxuan stopped in horror.

On her eyes, there was a trail of blood, blood that flowed from her eyes.

That night, there was no moon shining in the Moonlit City. That night, Yuelong, the second princess of the Moonlight City, disappeared into the Moonlight City like the moonlight.

Only Yueling, with a satisfied smile on her face, said to Lian Pu behind her.

"Good job, kill all the assassins, don't let the news go. ”

"From today onwards, there will only be one princess in this moonlit city. ”

"From this day forward, there will be only one king in this moonlit city. ”
