A Trapped Fairy

Within the First Realm are eleven countries, Siqitian being the largest and most influential.

The Imperial City Xulu was located at the heart of the country, surrounded by dense forestry mountains.

The enormous city was split into four regions and four divisions.

Three areas were run by the powerful Duke's family, while the four divisions were run by the influential Marquis families.

Meanwhile, sitting at the top was a single Emperor, two Empresses, the Country Regent and the Imperial prince and princesses.

The hierarchy was clear, and the country's law system was strict on those who didn't respect the seven powerful families and the royal family.

The Li family, one of the three Duke families, ruled over the eastern region, and the Duke Ye family guarded the southern part.

Due to the special status of House Si, the two men in the house, one a Regent and the other a warlord, occupied the northern and western regions.

Below Si's territory was the Wu family, which helped guard the northeast division, and the Qiu helped the Li defend the southeast division.

The Zhou helps the Ye guard the southwest division, and the Ping helps the Si guard the northwest division.

The Imperial Palace was located at the city's centre, tightly surrounded by the powerful forces' protection.

The sun had fully risen, and warmth enveloped the country.

Si Zheng Biya slowly stretched herself over the pavilion's railing lazily before standing up; she needed to go and get ready.

Today her grandfather and father would bring her into the Imperial Palace for the first time for a welcome celebration to the Xinjian Kingdom's envoys, the country only second to the Siqitian Empire.

Si Zheng Biya made her way out of the pavilion, slowly walking through the throng of slightly overgrown lotuses and threatening to break past the walkway.

During the last four years, she had hardly interacted with the father and son pair, but they were the only two people Si Zheng Biya didn't have too much solid killing intent towards.

She had always speculated how strong a blood bond was between blood relations.

Actually, strictly speaking, Si Zheng Biya had hardly interacted with anyone within the last four years. It wasn't because she was too introverted or lethargic; she hated everyone here.

Children of Mengyan, no matter how innocent they were for not participating in the downfall of her creations, Si Zheng Biya just couldn't warm up towards them.

Every time she saw someone filled with joy, a wave of remorse and anger washed over her.

She couldn't help but feel that her children could still be smiling if she had only kept them safe from harm. The thought that Mengyan's cruel actions took away their happiness only added to her pain.

Hence Si Zheng Biya would always disappear from time to time, sometimes for only a morning, sometimes for a few days if possible, to avoid seeing anyone.

At first, the people in the Si Mansion had been frightened when they found out their only Eldest Young Miss had disappeared, but now despite still running around calling her, they weren't so worried.

The Eldest Young Miss would appear again after some time, no matter how long she disappeared.

Some speculate that a powerful Master had taken a liking to the Eldest Young Miss and made her into their disciple, so they decided to leave the matter alone.

Even the two Masters of the Si family hadn't bothered about the Eldest Young Miss situation, but it wasn't because they thought that Si Zheng Biya was taken away by some Master; it was because they had elite family guards shadowing her every move and knew she wasn't in any danger.

It wasn't like they could ask the Eldest Young Miss; she always refused to talk to the Old Young Master Si and Young Master Si; why would she speak to them, the servants?

If it hadn't been for the most influential school, Tian Xiu Sect, in the Xinjian Kingdom, Si Zhen Biya wouldn't have participated in this welcome banquet event.

She heard that the sect recruitment division teachers would be attending along with the envoys on the envoy's list.

Although the cultivation age begins at thirteen when the spirit root is fully formed and stable, she didn't see it an issue to start at four since it's possible as long as the body can support the foreign powers entering the meridians.

The youngest person to have been recorded to have started cultivating was at the age of eight, and he was now a renowned demi-god, a man who's already ascended into the higher realms.

It was rare but not hopeless; that's why powerful and wealthy families have their children snacking on different pellets and medicines to temper the body to become stronger.

Si Zheng Biya hadn't been an exception; although she was bestowed with an excellent body constitution and was more substantial than others, she still ate the medicine and pills prepared by the servants.

She could've started cultivating the moment she was born if it hadn't been for her wanting to just kill everyone for the last three years and a half.

But now, she'd wasted four years; she couldn't just keep wasting her time away; if Si Zheng Biya didn't begin soon, she'd never have been able to beat Mengyan.

Si Zheng Biya made her way towards her room, where several maids stood outside with their heads bowed; they had given up the search for their Eldest Young Miss several minutes ago and had gone to prepare her bathwater.

None dared to breathe too loudly when Si Zheng Biya walked past and entered her room, and none dared to go inside to serve her.

During the first month that the Eldest Young Miss was born, she killed the people who served her to bathe.

It reached the point that no servant dared to go too close to her, but it didn't stop the enthusiasm of the Old Master Si and Master Si from trying to get close to her.

Si Zheng Biya was precious to the Si family; since anyone who carried the Si bloodline was special.

This also meant that no matter what Si Zheng Biya did, the Si Mansion would support her; even if she wanted to revolt and become the Emperor, the Si Mansion would first persuade her not to, and if that didn't work, they'd back her up.

Rumours had already spread outside that the Si Mansion bore a devil child; her first murder was when she was a month old.

If it hadn't been for the rumours twisting to the point of being unrealistic, they feared the Imperial family would've demanded the death of the four-year-old Si Zheng Biya.

But those who had worked for years in the mansion knew the rumours were factual; however, they didn't want to offend the powerful Si Mansion by going out and validating that the talks were genuine.

There seems to be some hushed agreement between the Eldest Young Miss, and the entire mansion was happy to comply too; even on the morning run of 'find the Eldest Young Miss,' the servants were so glad to do it.

As long as they weren't brutally killed by the Eldest Young Miss, anything was acceptable because they knew that even if they died, the Si Mansion would always stand behind the Eldest Young Miss.
