Chapter 34

Dressed in a moon pattern dark purple silk dress with a black cloak. A tiara in my hair, with a matching necklace with a moon on it around my neck. Black high heels around 2cm tall. I look at myself in the mirror, my hair tied in a half up crown braid. Someone knocked at the door, "Xuan its me" I heard a familiar voice.

It is First Sister, she came in. She looked at me in surprise but didn't say much of it. "I came to bring you to the ball."

"Oh yes, I didn't know you were going to pick me up." I said approaching her, "then should we go now?"

"Ah yes" she said standing up, we left my room. I could feel everyone's eyes looking in our direction as we walked to the ball. Then we spot Sister and Brothers.

"We just arrived." said second brother. They all seemed surprised but also didn't comment on anything.

"Should we enter?" asked third brother. We all nodded and the eunuch announced our presence as we entered the ball. I could feel the eyes of everyone as they looked at us, some looked at us with pity, vengeance, interest, etc.

Then I could here snickering and whispering from some of the noble, it got louder and louder. I understood know why I was asked to just be cruel. As I thought I heard something insulting, 'look at them won't their mother just die?' and more came including, 'aren't they just replacements! hahahaha they can never be actual Emperor or Empress.' someone in front of us say, his face smirking. Laughter vibrated across the room. I could feel my blood boil.

"HOW DARE YOU" I shouted. It was fine to make fun of me but to make fun on my mother, sister and brothers, they went to far. The laughter stopped immediately. "ARE YOU A PRINCE OR PRINCESS? ARE YOU A PART OF THE IMPERIAL FAMILY BLESSED BY THE GODS? WHO ARE YOU?"

"Your Highness please mind your manners!" he replied back at me, shouting.

"WELL HOW DARE YOU SHOUT AT ME! DO YOU NOT KNOW THE PROPER MANNERS TO GREET A IMPERIAL PRINCESS? DO I NOT HAVE A HIGHER TITLE THAN YOU?"

"PRINCESS... Even if you are a imperial princess you are just a imperial princess, I'm more useful to the Emperor. I have more power than you too don't I?"

"Hmpph you think so? KILL!"

Before anyone could do anything his head flew flying from his body. Blood splatter across the marble floor, people screaming around us like girls.

"How dare you!" someone in the crowd said angrily, "His Majesty will kill you for this you Bi-"

"Who will kill her?" I could hear His Majesty voice across the room. He walked inside the ball room, escorted by Shifu and the Knight Commander. As he arrived on his throne and sat down everyone bowed their heads greeting him except me.

Did I went to far by any chance. Then I heard Shifu tell me in my head that it didn't matter what I did. As I looked up, I could see a tiny smile on His Majesty eyes. Well then good thing I didn't go to far.
