Emperor Tai let few people follow Volca the moment she stepped out of the palace. Volca was smarter than that, she took turns and and flew away turning into her true self. She could only imagine what it would have been like if she let anybody else deliver the letter hut herself. Since nobody has seen her trueself was pretty easy to fool others. She saw Huo inside the Water Palace and she delivered the letter successfully, but since there were people on her tail, she did not interact with him. She went back to the castle, the dinner was still going on. Emperor Tai was drunk as a monkey would be, showing all tantrums. He looked filthy and unclean, and did not have the matter nor elegance the Emperor should have. Volca shook her head in disappointment, but also glad that she did not get his single trait except the eyes.
"Dear girl, come over here," he called out.
"Your highness, why don't you go to bed," his eunuch suggested.
