1 Makes you proud

The morning wasn't mature enough but the soothing lavender and fresh rose petal make her body calm and fresh. She awakened early each morning in the stronghold to watch the sunrise. After all, she could only be herself at this time.

But today it was different, she has been waiting for the morning for so long that she barely believes her eyes when the light of nature began to out the power oil lamp. Then as the regular bird starts their chorus chirping outside her window as if they have to wake her up. She knew it's too early to wake up, but she has waited for this day for so long. She has trained it for twelve years long and it is finally here.

"My Lady, I've brought your cloth as you requested." A young maid enters the bathhouse to inform her.

"Hmm put it inside my chamber I will be there shortly." She leisurely just closes her eyes and enjoys the warmth of water not bothering anything. Maid just quietly retreads as per command.

Inside the bathhouse, the environment looks peaceful and beautiful. Young and pearl-like beauty in the middle of a water tank filled with rose petals and lavender. Her snow-like skin and porcelain face makes her look like a beauty from heaven and with eyes close she looks like she can break just by the hard look. But the scars below her shoulder makes her look formidable.

She is only the royal blood in a palace, her mother was an Empress's daughter and princess of the Ming Dynasty. After marrying the Emperor of the Han dynasty and not long after given birth to a beautiful princess she only remains an Empress of a dynasty.

She was bullied by favor concubine and until the death of her she never got the mercy and love from the emperor, she died lonely and miserably under the schemes of mere concubine. And as a princess she can't do anything to save her mother, she could only wipe her tears at night and clean her wounds at day.

But when her mother was on deathbed, she promises she will bring her mother dignity back. She will be strong enough to protect herself and the people close to her, she starts to train hard under special force and went for much undercover mission. And now today the day of selection of heir to throne she plans to take everything that belongs to her and her mother back.

"Mom I will make you proud and all will remember and take your name with respect. They all who make you suffer back then will suffer more shortly."
