The Girl Seiren Brought

Xing walked towards Seiren's room following Bai Li when they were blocked by Zhong Huojin. He was quick to block their way but he was hesitant to act further. His mouth opened and closed a couple of times with no words uttered and Xing knew he was here to apologise.

But what good is an apology after you've done hurting a person, right? Also this is not the first time for him to do that and Xing knew it won't be the last either.

"General Zhong!", Xing smiled mechanically, " Have you informed Lady Zhong that Seiren is fine? And when is Seiren returning home?", she asked walking past him.

"Your Highness! Mother's been informed through a bird and Seiren is not willing to leave until the war is over. Also... He... He brought a woman", Huojin answered and his voice was slightly trembling with the nervousness he felt.

Xing who was about to open the door of the room Seiren was staying, paused her steps.
