Zhou Death.
XIE POV
Reflecting on what Zhuo told me earlier.
Could it be that he was telling the truth? No, my uncle is nice to me and my family. I don't believe that.
He talked about me not seeing him again. What does he mean by that? Death! This is serious.
I have to find Zhou. He needs to explain all this to me in a way I will understand because, I mean, why would my uncle want to kill me? What have I done wrong? Even my sister is also among them. They want to kill me.

Zhang POV
I sent you to kill the king. You disobeyed my order. You don't know what I'm capable of doing, and I will make sure you pay dearly for this.
I said, pointing a gun at him.
There is no need to point the gun. I drank the poison, and I will never kill the king, but before I die, I want to tell you this: evil can never prevail over light, and you will never be the king of this kingdom.
How dare you! I am the rightful owner of the throne, and if any of you stand in my way, I will kill him or her. Guards killed him, Zhang said angrily.
Zhou uses his power to destroy the soldiers. I have dedicated myself to the 'Blue Bird'. 'You can't kill any member of my family; we are the descendants of the Blue Bird,' I said as I unlocked the heavens and dedicated my spirit to the bluebird.
(BLUEBIRD)
She is the spirit that guides heaven and also protects the rules of the alpha kingdom. She does not hurt people, but whenever she is summoned for justice, she strikes with anger. Zhou's father was the only one who summoned her whenever he needed a guardian. No one has ever summoned her except Zhou's father. So, whenever she is summoned for justice, someone must die. Zhuo gave his life to protect her sister from dying.

XIE POV
Where is Zhou? He has a lot of explaining to do as I move around the whole palace looking for Zhou.
My queen, my queen Liang, called out my name.
What is the matter, and why are you running? Is there any problem? I asked Liang, who looked exhausted.
There is a problem. I saw Zhou dedicating his life to the ancient spirit of the Blue Bird. Liang replied.
What!!!! Why did he have to die?
Wait, where is he now? I mean, did you see him? I asked him.
At Uncle Zhang's house, I think I overheard him saying he would not let the king die. Instead, he would die for the king.
I think Uncle Zhang is up to something evil and willing to kill anyone who tries to stand in his way. Liang answered.
I opened my eyes wildly, and then I remembered what Zhou told me about the evil between my sister and Uncle Zhang, so it was true. I said to myself.
What is the matter, my queen? He asked.
Zhou said that they were planning to take the throne, and they wanted to kill me and my father, I said, looking at Liang.
Does it mean that my father was right when he said the throne is meant for me, and only I can rule the kingdom? I asked Liang.
Yes, my queen, that was what my father told me before he died. He said, I should protect you at all costs.
Zhang's plan to take over the throne did not start today. It started the day your father was crowned king instead of him.
He tried his best to make sure you and your sister were not born. But they all fail. The moment you are born, he can't access the palace again. Liang said ready to tell me all I needed to know.
But why? I still wanted to know more.
You did not just possess the power of the moon; you also possessed the great power of the spirit and water, and the spirit does permit evil.
So all his plans failed. Liang answered.
So it was my uncle all this time, and I thought the man was good and kind, but Uncle Zhang wants me dead.
What am I going to do now? I was confused.
You have to start preparing yourself for the future battle ahead of you and delete every fear in you. You are the only one who will save the people and the throne.
But first, let us go and see what is going to happen in Uncle Zhang's place. I am sure the bluebird will appear anytime she is summoned. Liang said.
Please, after that, let's go and check up on Chang, to know if he has fully recovered and has left already. I requested.
Okay, my queen, but you have to be very careful. Your uncle is full of evil and always ready to destroy. Liang was discussing with me as we walked down to my uncle's place.
Let me see the bluebird I have heard of. People said she didn't hurt people, or else she was summoned to fight for justice.
"Hmmm," I said to myself while working down to my uncle's place.
