Chapter t.i.tle: A Journey into the Unknown (10)

Chapter no. 37

(Lady Xie Yaya's POV)

The mountains speak in harsh winds. They tell what citizens has done and how cruel they have been. The birds, too little yet they whisper the coming storm. And the blue sky has finally appeared, to send a message that is it the start of another war. The destined person has come and the future will finally be rewritten.

I sat near the window and stare at the travelers. Some I knew of and some whose origins I don't. The tea on my hands are frozen, and the water on the hot pot turned cold. The spring is almost over but everything here stays in deep winter. I glanced at the palms that used to hold a person's warmth, yet I ran to save someone.

If I could only turn back time.

Oh I wish I could.

"Why are there so many visitors downstairs?" I whispered as Anya my maid came in to change the tea on my hands

"Mistress the daughter of the right prime minister has arrived, she brought two girls along but their ident.i.ties where strictly concealed."

"Concealed? Let me take a look, go and prepare for a show" I need to know whom she's with

"But mistress it's not good for the baby, what if you hurt yourself--"

"Just do what I say!"

I have an inkling feeling that the daughter of the right prime minister isn't a simple girl who's housed and pampered from childhood. There are local news of their household's merits too. It was said that all the members of the Qin's clan hold great power. Her brothers were even following their elders well. And her elder sisters were all imperial wives, not just empty t.i.tles but they have the last say.

A little bird also told me that even the empress herself favors this young miss of the Qin family. If she is very capable I think she's the right person who can help me. She will be the only person who can provide the key for me to escape from this h.e.l.lish kingdom and go home. Indigo Valley Kingdom is my home and I need to get back what should be mine right from the start.

If my sister hasn't killed my husband I could be the one who'll inherit everything that my parents worked for. But the world is cruel, and I need to learn to embrace power and make connections with everyone. The baby inside me is growing and I can no longer protect it. If the young miss is as what the rumors say, then I will be willing to part with my child and seek revenge.

"Mistress everything is ready"

"Good"

"Mistress! The bandits suddenly came!"

"What?" It should have been a good plan but the bandits came, we need to defend ourselves

I rushed out of my room to check on what's happening.

"Oh lovely girls in veils! Pure, untainted and FRESH! Brothers we have come at the right time to gather the sacrifice bearers. You young misses shall obey my orders and struggle not, for I have come with good intentions. The brotherhood has long been established and on this day of the year we catch ladies and devour their innocence. After that everyone gets to taste the body first before we kill the person out of tradition."

But I only saw a young and composed girl wearing a white veil. She chuckled sinisterly. The men stopped eating while the girls seating beside her continued to eat as if nothing happened.

"How many are you in your tribe of local bandits?"

"Are you insulting me? We are the strongest! And--"

"I asked how many" the cold voice of the young girl echoed through the room

"You b.i.t.c.h! Who gave you the permission to talk when the master hasn't finished speaking--"

"You call him master? He's not qualified enough"

Then the bandits raised their swords

"Seize them mates!"

But what shocked us is when the young girl draw her sword and threw it at the boss of the bandits. In an instant his head rolled to the floor where his mates are standing. And the sword landed neatly on the wall, with blood flowing like water.

"You call him boss? I only threw my sword yet he cannot even protect himself, so how capable is he to lead a group? Better than anyone else, at this state will you believe that your lives will be safe by following him? Why not follow me?" She dared to tell the bandits to follow her.
