(Cresencia's POV)

In my past life I have never experienced being pampered by my mother, maybe 'cause I have a little brother who needs more motherly care, while my father attentively attend business trips. Leaving me with a nanny or to spend time with my grandparents, learning business and arts. Meanwhile, my older cousin Jun always make sure that I learn martial arts with him, and what I got was two years of hellish training with coach Yang. But sometimes I wonder what it feels like to have a normal life. Yet before I could achieve something, all of them were taken away from me.

I pulled myself out of my drifting thoughts. I stare at the beautiful trees lined on the road, flowers blossom on the green grass and the birds are singing with the wind. The smell of fresh air lingered and the excitement within me grows strong. I might have visited all the tourist destinations from the modern world, but what I see in front of me is far more beautiful. The edited images featured in magazines paled in comparison to this place.

"Mom, it's breathtaking..." I whispered

"Lei'er, you haven't seen what's inside" mom answered

"Really? You mean even more beautiful than our home back at the island?"

My dad chuckled.

"Welcome to the capital dear" mom said

I smiled at my parents.

"Who lives here?" I asked

"Your grandfather, the servants and the soldiers live here. We have a military base at the back of the manor, and that is about a hundred and fifty hectares of land, bought by your grandfather when he was still the general. It accommodates five hundred soldiers in camp and trains two hundred trainees." My father said

I nodded.

I wanna check the whole place out! I mean this is ancient era and no one has been given the opportunity to do tours. I want to be the first person to try. This is super cool! And I can't believe I'm living in this manor.

We got out of the carriage. I saw a man in his fifties, standing by the door and smiling at us. The maidservants were lined up and their uniforms are accordingly. There are military soldiers in uniform and all of them saluted at my parents.

"Father!" My dad run to the man and hug him, both of them must have missed each other

"That is your grandfather, General Feng Moying, one of the veterans who never grow old." My mother urge me to walk faster

"Is this Lei'er?" My grandfather ask

"Grandpa" I mumbled and walk closer to him

Hey my grandfather is too tall, 6'4, am I the only dwarf in the family? I mean, my mom is 6'0, my dad is 6'3, and I am only 5'8 tall. Well it doesn't matter, this is my family.

"You've grown so big since the last time I saw you! Come and give this old man a hug"

I walk forward and give my grandfather a bear hug. In him I remember a distant memory of my modern grandfather. I miss my grandparents.
