Prolouge:

The mansion is so quite. I am in hurry to gather all my things and my daughter's. I don't want him to know we are leaving. We need to leave before he wakes up. The accident was not an accident. It was an assasination. Not for the master but to the woman he chooses.

And If he knows we are leaving he won't allow us. My daughter deserves another life. Not this chaotic one. His life is not intwined with my daughters. Fate wouldn't be so harsh on them. If they are destined. I need to keep my princess from the beast for they are destined to destroy a lot of lives if it will continue. I heave a heavy sigh.

I checked once again the important papers of my daughter. Her passport. Tickets. I need to clean all her traces in here.He needs to forget my daugther too. For remembering their memories will drive them mad. It is still young love. Yes. Young love. But I saw that it was rooted deep. I was crying when I took a last glance of the Master's mansion.The place only mute witness of how the two adore each other.

I called a Taxi to bring me to the hospital. When I arrived I immediately checked if there were securities on the lobby. When I saw that the guards were busy on something. I hurriedly went to my daughter's private room. When I got out at the elevator I saw guards on the left and right side of the lobby. He made sure my daughter is guarded.How can I get my daughter out of here. We need to escape.

"Xiūxí yīxià. Wǒ huì fùzé." I said.They bow when they saw me. It is the custom. A teacher of their master is deemed to be on high status too.

"Wǒmen bùnéng nàyàng zuò, xiǎojiě. Wǒmen bèi gàozhī bùyào líkāi zhèlǐ. " The Officer in charge answer me. I can't order them to leave. What am I thinking? They won't budge unless the master commands it.I walked to my daughter's room. When I got inside I stopped in shock. For the master was inside. Touching my daughter's face lightly. Tears fell down from his cheeks. His murmuring something I cannot hear.

'Master Yuan,'

My heart constricted. Seeing how hurt he was. This teen age boy. How cruel fate can be? Seeing his eyes, full of love towards my daughter.

I walk further inside. It seems he didn't hear me. I stopped. Glancing at the young boy who will soon rule the empire.

Sighing. It made my decision firm and final. Cause I know, time will come when this sweet boy will change. He will adapt by the harshness of his world. He needs to change in order to rule.And my daughter does not desrve such world. My innocent princess. And my daughter too will not be good for him. She will become his weakness. And he can't afford one.

My family was from Beijing. I can say that we were, too was prominent. We were destined to serve the descendant of the Han's. The ruling family. The Royal Bloods. The known Yuan-Wang's. Our family was to teach the next heir of the family. My parents and older brother was the first teachers of the first Heir of the Yuan's. But 10 years ago they were killed by an assasination. Together with the First heir. Out of grief, I left Beijing and went to the Philippines.That's when I meet The Filipino-Chinese Businessman,Greg Go.I married Greg. After two months I got pregnant with my eldest son Gabriel. Then I got a letter telling me. No commanding me to visit Beijing for a new heir had been choosen.

Then I met him. 5 year old boy. Wang Li Zi Mou.The new Master. When I had my daughter I told them I can't go back to Beijing more often. But the matriach insisted for me to visit every year for 4months. I know how heavy my obligation was. So When Lianna was 5 years I brought her with me. That's when the two meet.My 5 year old daughter and the master, 11. Usually the master didn't care who he meet anyone.But when she saw my daughter, he was on his knees to level with my daughters gaze. He didn't let her look up to him when they talk. He always kneels. At first, I thought it was the master's attitude. But sooner I noticed, he only kneels if his talking to my princess. At first,I didn't seem to care.I thought it will be gone.Then, everytime we goes home the master will always with us through the airport. Before we leave, he whispers something on my daughter. My daughter just smile and nodded always.Then every year my daughter will insist to come with me for she told me she promised master to come. And as years gone by ,when my daughter and I lived in Beijing for the masters lessons, and the matriach want it to be done.

Everything changed. The master became possesive of her. Then, When my daughter was ten he claimed her. Naming my daughter his empress. He was 16 at that time. That created chaos with in the family.The matriach was furious on me when she knew. She thought I push my daughter to the master.

But I never thought that the master was serious. For my daughter was just a child.

But with in two years a gradual change occur. When the master was slowly changing customs in the family. He wanted my daughter to be respected as he is. He punish everyone who doesn't cooperate. Including a girl cousin of his. If this continue,I know it will one day create havoc but I didn't thought it will be like this. My innocent daughter.

" Lǎoshī,"He called. Making me startle and wake me from my reverie. "I know what you are trying to do. " He added.

"Yuán dàshī-"

" I am debating to myself, if I will deport you and hide her here." He cut me off. I was astonished by what he is saying." Or I will let you leave with her. " He said.Still sternly looking at my daughter.

"Yuán dàshī, Please I hope you understand why I am doing this. I am not just saving my daughter but you, of all people." I explain. Trying to make him understand.

He walked towards my daughter and hold her hand.

Then his most trusted body guard entered.I keep my eyes on him But i can see the exhaustion of his bodyguard in my peripheral vision.

"Arrange the jet. Bound to Manila. Arrange doctors and nurses on flight.Tell them they will leave as soon as the flight plan is done." He said.With gritted teeth he barked orders. I was overwhelmed of relief that he understands. But at the same time crying inside.

"Know, Lǎoshī that as of this moment you are killing me. You can leave. For now" He said while still staring at my daugher.

"Yuán dàshī, you need to forget her. You will become one of the strongest individual in the world. My daugter won't do any good to your career. She-"

He snapped his eyes on me. I got goose bumps seeing his hardened stare. The Loving and sweet boy that is staring at my daughter a moment ago was gone. All was left was the Beast.

"I will be the judge of that Lǎoshī," He said sternly. " Leave immediately. That I can still hold my temper. I am not liking what you are telling me now,Lǎoshī," He said. Then he sat down at my daughter's bed. He then kissed her in her forehead. And whisper something I can not hear.And he hold my daughter's hand. And put a barcelet on his arm. I cannot seen clearly what kind of bracelet does he give her. But I noticed he locked it with a key and wears the key for it has a gold chain.

'Master, you aren't helping your situation. You are prolonging your agony.' I said in my head.

"I will come to claim her,Lǎoshī. I hope you won't forget that. I will claim her. Again. And When that time comes. No one can keep me away from her anymore. Even the heavens and fate can't do something about it." He said. Bowing at me as I bow to him. Then he leaves.

'Master, I'm sorry.'

As I look at him closing the door.

'Master Yuan, I know fate won't let you two meet again. And I will make sure of that. I am sorry again Master.'

I utter in my head as the plane leaves permanently in the country of my birth that I can not dwell any longer.
