*long chapter ahead
[SHENXIA]
The return of the queen of hearts was something that none of the Shenxia warlocks had expected so soon. No one had anticipated that the Queen was going to return in just a fortnight.
They had gotten used to their queen being gone for long, unannounced missions, but this time, as Liu Kuangxin walked through the door to her throne room, her council knew even before she opened her mouth.
They understood that something was amiss even before she could look at them and confirm or even deny their assumptions.
They had seen her in that state once.
When she had left for Doiwa.
Back when she believed in love and prayed for better days for the love that had eventually managed to rip her apart.
It hadn't been the best of times for the Shenxia warlocks.
