Bloodline

At Hae anscenstral mansion;

"What do you mean it's untraceable?!", Master Hae's voice rang out in the sitting room. "I-I'm sorry your highness, I swear I'll try my best to find out who's behind all this", the chief general replied as he lowered his gaze to the floor. Master Hae rested his chin on his hand, before he rubbed his face with his palms a brief moment later. He couldn't believe what he was hearing, not to talk of what has been happening lately. Today, he just received another terrible and alarming news. His one and only family left was finally wiped out.

He just heard a short while ago that his beloved younger sister died in a strange car accident, along with her husband and four kids. A short while after she got on the road, her husband's driver noticed that the car's horn wasn't working at all. The driver had planned on pulling over at the nearest mechanic shop to check what was wrong, when a truck appeared out of nowhere and the brakes failed. They had to swerve quickly to the left and ended up crashing into a construction site. Thus, the accident claimed their lives.

What was even more strange to Master Hae was that his sister's family mechanic checked their car before they departed. He even had the documents to prove it, so what went wrong?. The media said it was a freak accident, while others said that a curse was suddenly bestowed upon the royal family, because as of the moment, him, his wife and daughter were the only remaining part of the royal family's lineage.

Everything started since last year, and somehow, someone or something had managed to annihilate their entire bloodline except them. It all started off as a mere coincidence and now it was a freak accident?! The worst part was that they managed to wipe out almost all of them in a year, and he was still getting nowhere with the investigations. It was already clear to him that they wanted something, and that they didn't even want to negotiate with him. They wanted it by force and by all means possible.

The room was so silent and the atmosphere was too thick, it couldn't even be cut with a knife. Worry, fear, and anxiety clouded the King's face all at once. He now realized that it would be hopeless if they continued the investigation. They were the only ones left now. "It's not just a single person that's behind all this. The only way all this could be possible is if another empire has set their eyes on us as targets, but I don't get why, our empire has the shortest list of enemies, so why?", Master Hae spoke in a low trembling voice.

"Mr Lui, arrange a flight for I and my wife as soon as possible. We'll be going to country V to meet with the Kims. Their empire is the closest with ours, so I'll go there and have a word with King Kim. After which, our entire family will relocate there for safety while I work hand in hand with them to figure out what's wrong. Make sure you inform him of our arrival", Master Hae said to his P.A. He would've asked for help sooner, but he never ever imagined that the Hae empire could be as defeated as it was now. They definitely had to conquer this fight, for the sake of all the bloodshed and sufferings the empire had been through.

...

After listening to what was going on, Mistress Hae became extremely worried. She spent last year mourning all the family members she'd lost, and here they were, mourning all the family members her husband lost as well these past few months. Her heart was already so weak, and at that moment, she knew she couldn't bear to be in the room any longer. She quickly excused herself and left to go look for her daughter.

In a wide and spacious garden blooming with flowers and all things nature, a young girl was spotted laying on the ground and looking up at the sky. At that moment she looked like a young Disney princess waiting for her guardian to appear. She soon got bored and got up to play with the water from the garden's waterfall situated deep in it. Before she could approach it, she heard her mother calling out to her. "Astrol, Astrol dear, come here my love", her mom requested in a calming voice. Mistress Hae knew how much her daughter loved nature, especially flowers, so it didn't take long for the garden to become her favorite part of the mansion. Astrol quickly plucked a sunflower and handed it to her mom as soon as she reached her.

Mistress Hae's eyes widened when she noticed that a bee was hovering around the flower. "Dear how many times do I have to tell you to be careful while plucking flowers. That bee could hurt you", Mistress Hae explained in a worried tone. The five year old Astrol just giggled. "It's okay mom, Mr Bee here is my friend, friends don't hurt each other right?, you know I have lots of friends here like Mr Bee", Astrol responded as her eyes glimmered in excitement and shone brightly like diamonds as she stared at the bee. Mistress Hae just sighed in defeat. They didn't let Astrol keep many human friends for her safety, but now that she thought about it, human friends were much less harmful, weren't they?...
