DISPOSITION

It was already declining due to the construction of forteBi. Few nobles were also slaughtered in the square to make a lesson for other.

Now Prime residence was next to suffered. King lack Archers still he managed to bring two and they were doing finely but it was taking time.

They could not cross its huge gates.

King sent few martial masters to find an opportunity to enter in the residence.

He brought his eldest cousin and beheaded in the square in presence of thousands of citizens and make his adviser next Prime of Yongwong State.

Civilians were terrified to see this, they knelt in front of blood reaping sword. He brought two beautiful girls of rebel along with him to be his slave girls' rest of life.

When General Zhong was present he was always worried to compete with him and defeat him but he finally got rid of General.

He was feeling lively could breath and free to do whatever he wished to do, Royal State was flourishing due to law and check.

Royal State was surrounded with small villages and fertile land which produce bigger amounts of grains and rice.

Many canals made it possible to water the crops properly.

In busy streets of Royal State, everyone was busy with dealing their customers in the market; there was also small old shop.

It interior was as shabby as its exterior contrary to other shops, who were renovated every after year or two.

Its owner was old iron smith and this shop was front of his back house.

Old iron smith was sitting in his shop with his old friend; he sells small artifacts of iron which were needed in household or small purposes.

"I have not heard for last few years about General Zhong, he is the star of this Kingdom," old smith asked his friend, "He must be on some big adventure, you know he always strive for better, and he don't like to sit idle," his friend tried to satisfy old smith with his answer.

"If it was some adventure it's already been six years or so, his father was the benefactor of whole Kingdom," "You are indeed right, my son was appointed on the security of Palace and once told that King sent him on some mission," he remembered his past conversation with his son when he visited house on leave.

"Do you know what kind of mission it was or your son told about it?" old smith hurriedly added question for his friend to answer. "This he himself don't know," he disappointingly said.

Day was at its last shines then…

This was the surrounding view of General Zhong residence.

This area was rich in greenery and crops, he indeed choose his residence close to open fields, on the rear end of eye vision was a small village where farmers lived to plough these lands. There many farmers used to see General Zhong there, when he engrossed himself in the practice of Sword Art there, they used to admire his gallantry and capability.

Many women used to dream about this handsome General with his shining sword in his hands. Anyone who met General once would remember and praise him rest of life, his qualities make everyone his admirer.

There were lots of questions in their minds and none to answer them.

Slave girls which King brought in his Palace were not lesser beautiful than his concubine. They were ordered to fetch water for all needs of Palace, water well was on the other side of Palace. Both were noble and were untouched by the daily chores in household and the labor was much more than their caliber.

Their hands got riddles with the wounds to carry the heavy pots of water.

They watered all plants and three gardens of Palace, bare feet they were exhausted; both girls sat in the shade of tree and burst into tears to look at the condition of each other.

Both were weeping and told their heavy work to each other, they were sitting in the garden; Queen was on walk in the garden when she heard their conversation, because of her status Queen was not expected to interact with lowly slaves.

From their conversation she gathered that both were noble girls of Yongwong State and King made them slave, she was aware that King went month ago to shatter a rebellion in a state. In the evening Queen sent her two maid with warm water and some herbal paste to dress their wounds and sent her words for them to come in the servant hall.

When they received this generous attention by the Queen their view changed about the Queen significantly.

Next day they reached servant hall and Queen was there to instruct servants their duties. Both girls knelt in front of Queen to pay their respect.

Queen ordered one of her maids to bring the dress and slippers which were given to inner Palace maids.

These maids were assigned inner work and not much labor; they knelt again to receive this attention. They were thinking before to run away from this Palace or commit suicide but now both were happy. Queen also ordered to provide them batter abode in the servant quarters.

Slowly both girls were familiar with their work and nature of Queen, they were thankful to their ancestors that their Queen was lenient heart and generous.

Guards who were assigned inner portions of Palace were stunned to see their Queen arrangements for two slave girls but they were not there to pin point anything.

A guard in the Palace was newly recruited and was young energetic to compete in the future better place in the Palace.

He was on the small forte which was designed to keep eye in the inner and outer of the east Palace. Four soldiers were on duty on this forte in two shifts.

The security of Palace was selected after carefully testing the newly recruited soldiers.

They were enthusiastic to make their future and were ready to sacrifice their lives to save the residents of Palace.
