41 Ch. 41 'Under Attack 4 '

It has been almost ten minutes since Xiao Yang left the palace, and now he had arrived at the port, waiting for time to stop.

While waiting, he avoided the countless Elementalist moving towards the center of the island where the palace located.

And finally, time stopped.

Some of the time-controllers who could move freely used their water bending right away and made the sea became ice.

Xiao Yang jumped in a flash into the sea, which was now completely still. He continued to run on the frozen water with all his strength and quickly headed to a secret cave known only by the royal family.

He had to arrive at the cave as soon as possible before the time rerun. Otherwise, he and his sister would fall and sink, or worse, the Elementalists would found and seize them.

Exactly twenty minutes passed, and time began to run again, Xiao Yang arrived safely at the cave. He put his sister gently on a bed. After that, he promptly sat lolling on the floor and tried to regulate his breathing.

A moment later, he began to breathe regularly. He also heard the sound of his sister's sobs. Xiao Yang stood up and hugged his little sister, soothingly.

"Father, mother, huwaaaa..."

Xiao Yue's crying did not stop for hours until she fell back asleep due to exhaustion.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," whispered Xiao Yang, who was lying next to his sleeping sister before he too fell asleep.

A tear came out from his closed eyes unnoticed.

Meanwhile, in the Kingdom of Nishian, upon learning that Nishian's princess had managed to escape, the leader who led the elementalists became furious and immediately killed the king and queen with his machete sword.

"Search every corner on this island. You cannot stop until you find the princess alive. As for the crown prince, you may kill him."

"Master, is there any chance that Queen Nishian stopped time so her two children could escape?"

"Hmph! That's impossible. His son does not have time-control energy; he will not be able to move in a frozen time-zone. Even though the queen managed to stop the time, I still can feel it."

"But he is still the son of a Time Master. He has the same blood as the queen, so perhaps..." he stopped his words when his master looked at him furiously.

"It's still not possible. But the queen is quick-witted. She must have found a way for the two of them to escape us. But that is only temporary. Convey my orders!" roared the man in a loud and firm tone.

"Search among residents in each country for an older brother and younger sister with an age gap of eight to ten years. Then kill all the brothers and gather all the younger sisters. I can't believe I couldn't find them."

Then the person looked at the family photo that had been burned by King of Nishian so that the faces of his two children would not be recognized.

The crown prince's face was entirely burned so that the man couldn't find the prince's real face. Alas, it was different with the young princess.

Her face still could be seen as the man stopped the fire on time before it burned the whole picture.

"Princess Xiao Yue, wait for me. I will make sure to find you." He continued while holding a photo of a child who was smiling happily.

"I will make this photo my treasure. I will surely recognize you as soon as I meet you no matter if you change your identity or grow up." He said again in a sly and creepy tone. Then the man laughed horribly and left the burning palace.

That night, screams could be heard as the sound of swords slashing was echoing from all directions. There were no survivors. And the whereabouts of Crown Prince Xiao Yang and Princess Xiao Yue was unknown until now.
