7 07. The Turmoil (5)

" Do you know it's a crime to fake to be Beng Gong's sister? Beng Gong will ask Father to beat you to death. Beng Gong is the Emperor of Lasombra's favourite daughter, if you are a princess why have Beng Gong never seen you before?"

Dumbass. Years passed and she has not grown an inch of brains.

Princess Bertha has calmed down, her eyes are peaceful and quiet, okay maybe she has some brains after all.

"Of course you have never seen Beng Gong, Beng Gong is your Royal Mother, Queen Cordelia's only daughter and as the royal princess, Beng Gong is of a higher position than you. Who are you, to dare question Beng Gong, "I speak, impatience creeping up, I am so done with this play-game, like hello? I have a father to meet and a mother to be loved or cared. I don't know, I can feel the goosebumps when I mention "love", something I have not experienced in years.

The air becomes sharp and painful, yeah, bow down to my aura.

Bertha does not seem too surprised, I bet she has heard the news from her mother that I will be back, which also showed that Bertha is not as stupid and slow-witted as she might seem.

"Now,"

"please scram."

See, no swear words.

Teari starts the carriage, leaving Bertha and her servants in the dust. Bertha bows her head, the expressions on her face unclear, shaded under the hot sun.

Will she be an enemy?

My baby carriage is crafted of Bubinga wood, one of the best wood around, there is a carpet of Sable fur on the floor, sable fur is known for their thick fur density, giving the warmest feel and their fur had always been the softest that it might even be softer than the clouds, yepp, that's my favourite.

Silver bells, without clapper (the thing that makes sound), hang around, making no sound and more surprising is they are barely swaying around like you will have thought. I have set up a formation so the items and people inside will not feel the tottering of the wheels no matter how rocky the ground is.

My soft couch is of Temper Jade, that changes warmth according to the temperature of the air, the hotter the air is, the cooler the jade will be.

While the cooler the air is, the warmer the jade will be. Now is hot summer, so the jade is like ice in the desert, only a thin sheet of a sponged mattress with linen lays over the cool jade.

Soft as hell man. This carriage is really my precious baby.

Teari shows the guards the Emperor's decree when we arrive and they lead us to Dragon Palace, where only the Emperor can live in, and all Princes in Lasombra wish to live in one day.

"The Emperor calls upon Princess Ruthless!" Eunuch Li announces.

"Eunuch Li has worked hard, please do accept this."Infina whispers to him, passing him an intricately woven pouch that contains gold," this is Her Highness's efforts."

Eunuch Li glances at me, I smile in return. He- is that the correct pronoun? He is not really a male, I mean, with his d8ck chopped off...

But whatever, he is the Emperor's best man...well eunuch, who served beside him for many years and had known of Aron Quint's many secrets.

It will definitely do us some good, what's more, his real family background is really interesting...

"Ruthless gives greetings to Your Majesty." I walk in, I peer at the emperor, indeed, his eyes soften at once.

I knew that the way I walk is different from the usual taught ladies and mistresses, delicate and pampered my strides are with confidence and somehow charming, that you will want to admire again, undergoing serious training does that to you.

Immediately, the Emperor's impression of me becomes much better. As much as I hate trying to please him, I have to gain his trust and favour before anything.

My first impression has some high marks, after all, a princess without rites lessons from the palace, how graceful can she be? The lower the expectation, the bigger the surprise.

"Ruthless, Zhen is your Father, Zhen has understood that you must have suffered greatly while you were absent from the warmth of your home. As a princess, every morning till noon, you, together with your sisters will attend your classes in Seashell Palace. You'll live with your Mother until 13 when you'll have your own palace. Do you understand?"

I frown, Beng Gong definitely does not want to spend time wasting on some useless studies.

"Father, Ruthless have known that all princesses younger than 13 will need to take classes in Seashell Palace but Ruthless wishes to take lessons on my own and only report once in a while, Father might worry that Ruthless may not be clear of the Palace rules but I am sure Mother will teach me well. May Father grant me this wish."I reply.

Hell, no way I am going to study with a bunch of idiots!
