180 The Wavering Heart

The day of the coronation came and there were a bunch of maids who were alloted to Xing readying her for the big day... The day she'll appear in front of the court as the Empress of the Wind Kingdom alongside the Emperor.

Xing was just standing there while they were putting on layers of Vermillion Silk robes and fixing her hair with a phoenix hair dress and a lot of other jewellery and one was painting her nails. Xing's mind filled with various thoughts and none of them were good. Human heart is a fickle thing and no matter how much you know what needs to be done should be done, there will be times when you don't want to.

No matter what, the more she thought about it and the more closer she got to actually do it, the more she felt it to be extremely wrong for her to be the Empress. She couldn't sleep the entire night, she didn't get to see Shengli since last afternoon, her entire body hurt for some reason and she couldn't swallow a single mouthful of food this morning.
