Courting Death
Little Emma was afraid of the dark. She barely squeezed her face out of her papa's hardened chest, looking at her surroundings in confusion.
"Papa... Didn't you warn me that this is a secret place I shouldn't go to unless I want to hide?"
Emma pouted her delicate pink lips, feeling her father had turned into a big liar.
Through a secret passage in her bedroom, a tunnel connected to another secret tunnel in Papa's chambers.
Growing up, she loved going back and forth between these places. But papa warned her that for the love of Yangbo, she shouldn't use the tunnels unless she was in trouble.
She also swore an oath not to let anyone know of its existence.
Hy, even the most loyal servants had no clue of the passageway built between the bedroom chambers.
Emma felt her father had stopped her from playing here because he too liked playing with her in secret.
