Her Relief

"Who's that?", the Water Emperor asked with indifference making Xing scoff.

How heartless is he?

"My father's wet nurse. She..."

"So a servant?", he looked at her with his eyebrows knitted and a smile that made Xing have the urge to break his nose.

"You'll avenge for a mere servant?", he continued. Yukiko standing beside him gasped and took a step backwards as she was surprised by the indifference in his tone.

Did he forget his Past? His mother who raised him was a servant in a rich household! She worked hard every day to take care of his necessities. How could he belittle servants like this?

"Katsu...?", she looked at him with her eyes filled with tears. She looked like a frail branch that would snip any moment by the strong wind blowing unable to accept her husband's change in attitude.
