"This is a joyous occasion that your highness, the fifth princess, to personally come to visit this one's humble mansion."

The general straightened his back and welcomed the fifth princess wholeheartedly, he was also felt like he was greeted by an angel from the heaven who descended into this insignificant world.

The refined maiden in front of him was accompanied by a lowly and humble male servant, the general envied this servant that could be with the beautiful fairy all the time, but he knew how to conduct a proper greeting, he hid his thought behind his warm smile.

The lady before him had a breath-taking appearance, her long blond hair that laid on her shoulder was like the sparkling stars on the sky, her cherry lip reflected her mature yet alluring air around her, her golden eyes would captivate all men that stared into them.

She wore a yellowish well-made dress, many patterns of exotic flowers and nature was engraved to enchanted her appeal, it revealed not too much yet not too least, boosting her charm even more.

"You have my gratitude, general, for you to host a welcoming party and even prepare so many gifts for me even though I came here without any notice."

Her voice contained the feeling of gracefulness, she was like a real angel, those who heard it would fall into the state of absented mind.

The fifth princess smiled lightly, causing a mysterious feeling to develop within the soul of the hot-blooded general and those who saw it.

"This is nothing compared to your highness' status, this one dare not receive your praise."

He bowed toward the fifth princess again, he forced himself to remember all her beauty and committed them all to his memory.

"Then I shall make full use of your assistance, come, let us go enjoy this first-class party that he prepared for us."

She was evidently a caring lady, she thanked the general again and invited her servant to enjoy the party, her action was like a candle, slowly melting the heart of the general.

Why am I like this today? This isn't me at all!

The general shook his head fiercely, trying to get rid of his lewd thought while he watched the fifth princess walked into the party.

In the end, he was still a young man, he couldn't resist himself, he marched toward the shy princess and offered her a dance, naturally, the fifth princess giggled shyly, she agreed to dance with him.

With his burning eyes and soul, he stepped forward confidently, after years of studying and practising, he always dreamed of being a dancing partner with the royalty princesses.

The music echoed the hallway, sending waves of note after note into the two's mind.

When the songs were slow and gentle, their steps were steady and elegant, the sound that was produced by their feet hitting the floor was subtle and very pleasing to ears, they both danced at the middle of the dancing platform, like the moon and the sun that flirted with each other, slowly circling each other, not too close yet not too far, creating the perfect show that the spectators applauded.

When the songs were fast and uplifting, their movements also reflected their mood, lively and exciting, they moved in patterns, sometimes their lips almost touched, sometimes their arms stretched far and wide, they moved from the middle to the edge, then the edge to the middle, like the two lovely birds that travelled far away with each other, they will always be together, their face was full of smile, they belonged to each other.

The scene caused everyone presented in awe, they cheered and encouraged the pair.

But, all the good time must come to an end, the party was nearly over, the last song had almost ended.

The last song filled the atmosphere with sadness and loneliness, it was like magic, making one felt the sorrow of the past once again.

At the very end of the song, the two slowly moved closer and closer, their body inseparable, their hands entangled each other, they embraced their lover, not willing to part away, not willing to return to the boring and lifeless day after this moment.

The last note had finally hit, tears manifested on the two's face, they still smiled at each other, silently separated themselves.

And the tears dropped on the floor.

The sober princess whispered something into the general ear, causing him to tense up immediately, he turned to look straight into the princess stunningly charming face, he nodded strongly and promised the princess before he gave the parting words and officially ended the party that filled with love.

"Tonight when the moon was at the highest point in the sky, the Sky Gazer must be clean and beautifully decorated, I and the fifth princess have something to discuss with each other, alone."

He spoke to his servant, the underlying meaning was as clear as the sky, the servant bowed and retreated to make preparation for the sweet discussion of the two.

"Tonight when the moon at its peak, I shall go count the stars with this handsome general, we would like to have some peace together, please wait for me in my room, I'll be back after I and he spoke to each other till our heart content."

The fifth princess' face was cherry-red, the male servant pretended to not notice it and went back to prepare her the best cloth they had.

After they all dissipated, they rolled on their bed, regarding what about to happen, they were very nervous, the two pure male and female, fantasized about their life, preparing their best, hoping their wish would come true.

At the time of the death-silent night, when the moon was at its peak, the sound of water contacted dirt and rocks could be heard, the atmosphere was very peaceful and remote.

The two figures, male and female, both hurriedly came out of their place, afraid to miss this opportunity forever, they both went to meet at the promised place, the Star Gazer.

The princess finally revealed herself, under the watchful eyes of the young man, she blushed intensely, her cloth this time revealed the majority of her sexy curve, the seductive air around her intensified by magnitudes.

The two chatted around for a very long time, they were still uncomfortable and couldn't bring themselves to speak about the true reasons for their meeting, the brave general was the first to move, he placed his hand gently on the princess' thigh, they both shivered at the same time, they looked into each other eyes, their hot burning gaze explained everything in their mind, they started getting closer and closer, their skin coming to contact with the other, the smooth hand finally caressing the soft and beautiful face.

Under the moonlight, their body was attached with a string of love, their mind involved around each other.

They were willing to lose everything, just for them to be together.

Forget the duty. Forget the bloodline. Forget the war. Forget them all.

Care not about the consequences. Care not about the status.

Their soul interconnected. Their mind became one. Their love was everlasting. Their feeling was eternal.

Their hands pressed on each other, they embraced each other, their heart united, their wish fulfilled.

At last, they couldn't control themselves, the general face moved slowly toward the destination, they could feel each other hot and tempting breath, their eyes clouded, their lip moving closer and closer, the flame of desire burning hotter than ever.

The warm sensation ran through the general's body, followed by the sensation of happiness and relieved.

But, the feeling of agony suddenly rushed through his body, he instantly knew something was wrong.

He opened his eyes.

A dagger was stabbed into his heart, warm blood gushed out of him, he fell onto the floor, his mind confused.

He looked in front of him, his lovely fifth princess, she stood there, her face was devoid of any emotion as if everything that happened was an illusion.

With anguish and grief, he was unwilling to die, but alas, the life force in his body depleted, his soul extinguished, his heart shattered.

"Glory to the Faceless Princess!"

The fifth princess said excitingly.

The male servant quickly ran to the fake human royalty and followed the next step of the plan.

This event was not known by anyone, the general died by his own greed and lust, for the petty merit, he concealed the arrival of the fifth princess hoping to get into the good book of the royalty alone, for his lust, coupled with the bewitching spell, he let down his guard and went with the fifth princess alone.

In the end, everything went according to the mastermind, the Faceless Princess.

...

"Another meeting? It seems that your scouts are doing their duty properly."

"Hello fellow generals, I have got a bad news and a good news for you."

"Don't try to waste our time, this is a war, not a childish game!"

"Don't be so mad, did your army suffer that much? Anyway, the bad news is the coming of the ambush force from the north fortress, their number is twice as much as the first one. The first army was a decoy."

"Impossible! How could they be willing to risk losing that many soldiers?! That was one-fifth of the entire human army!"

"We never really knew about their number, maybe these might just be some random civilians or prisoners, but the good news is, we have time to prepare before their arrival, from the report, they will arrive at the battlefield around five days."

"There is only two army that will arrive before the deadline, and one that could arrive after the deadline one day."

"Then it is settled, may the humanity remain victorious."

...

"Prepare to intercept the enemies! They should be arriving now!"

The commander did as instructed, he shouted loudly, boosting the morale of the human army, then he walked upright past all the captains, giving them specific orders, ensuring the overall plan to success.

"I told you all about it in the past, I will still say it again! Our combined army is twice as many as theirs! As long as all of you follow the plan, we will destroy them all easily!"

After the speech, the soldiers' fighting spirit was ignited, they shouted loudly, repeating the last line again and again.

Satisfied, the commander walked back into his tent, awaiting orders from his superior, while he was relaxing, a report had been sent directly to him, he smiled widely, everything was according to the information from the scout teams.

When the time was right, the sound of the war drum and warhorn echoed through the battlefield, with the help of magic, the sound raised the resolve of the soldiers and signified the beginning of the war.

"Forward!"

"Forward!"

The soldiers repeated the same word as they moved forward steadily, not afraid of dying, they were willing to get in and kill the enemies.

For our homeland, for our family!

The high-spirited army of warriors and mages marched forward fearlessly, they crashed with the unprepared army of demi-humans, the human's side immediately executed the plan, forming the spearhead and charged directly into the back of the enemy, greatly weakened the long-range attackers.

The tide was on the human's side, using the advantage of quantity, the human grouped up and pressured the lone demi-human into defence, greatly limited the casualty of the mankind.

The commander of the demi-humans naturally panicked and issued the retreat, the human commander was too greedy and want all the merit, he personally led the army and chased the demi-humans.

As they chipped away the personnel of the demi-humans little by little, they also lost the support of the long-range mages who fell behind.

Unknowingly, another factor came into play, that was the environment. Usually, they would fight on the grassland, but due to the foolishness of the human commander, he and his army directly chased into the forest, which was where the demi-humans always lived.
