AKINA

~• The Rise Of The Emperal's Daughter •~

( Unexpected Person )

The evening celebration also ended pretty well, after gathering to eat at the banquet they decided to dance the night away.

Though my attention was lock focused at the Queen and King Xhu Ban, they didn't do anything suspicious. They just keep shattering with the guest. And I decided to cross out the Princess in the chart.

She seems normal, if the Queen and King Xhu Ban plan to destroy the Kingdom and make it theirs, she wouldn't let any harm on her daughter.

After a long night, I manage to take a relax at this beautiful garden. I was seating at this long bench sight seeing the butterflies flying around the garden. It's so beautiful.

Some guards look at me as they pass by, I frown knowing why are they giving that kind of look. I'm not in my original messy maid uniform, instead I wore a pretty plain white dress that the older maids make me wear. The one who knows about my real statue ofcourse, and Lord Ti Yu make sure they didn't spill any of it to the others.

The upper guards or the Queen guards I presume, they didn't know about me, except the under trainer guards. I spend a lot time training with me, and I would not lie that I'm always laughing because of their silly ways.

Still, I didn't let down my guard any further, sometimes I laugh but I put my cold expression all the time. And I'm just glad they had a very high respect to me, either I'm the only lady in the field or I'm the late King's daughter, either of that, I don't care.

I just didn't mind the looks of the guard.

"Hi there"

I look at the person, it's the princess what is she doing here? I immediately stand up and bow down to her.

"My Princess I didn't know you're here"

"Its ok, I do come here a lot to ease my mind. It's kinda my not so private place haha"

"With all due respect Your Majesty I'm sorry to invade your private place"

Her bright blue eyes glows in the light. I didn't expect her to be this kind and gentle. Its obvious on her voice though.

"Its fine you didn't know. What's your name?"

"Akina, your Majesty"

"Please just call me Xhuahien, you seem elegant, one of the guest daughter?"

I was about to answer here when someone shouts.

"Xhuahien! What did I tell you not to talk to anyone else. Especially people you don't know, what are you even doing here? You have trainings to do"

It's the Queen, and a lots of maid trailing her. So this is what royalty feels like. No freedom at all, I feel bad about the Princess.

"I'm sorry Mother"

"And you....who are you? No I don't wanna know, whoever you are, you're just a peasants. So stay away from my daughter"

That's harsh. She drag her daughter away from we. Princess Xhuahien just mouthed sorry at me. Poor girl.

Sighing and seating back down I notice a very familiar hair color entering the side door of the palace where no guards are roaming.

I immediately stood up and ran to the door, slowly entering I notice her entering some room. This is the side of the palace where people can't enter without permission. Now I wanted to kick those guards for letting their guards down and didn't notice a girl enter this place.

I followed her in my tiptoe, peeking inside she looks like she was looking for something, she starts opening some drawers and I happen to see the tattoo on her arms, without second guess I call her name...

"Phai?"

Phai look at me in a horrific expression like she saw a ghost just now. Why is she here? She was suppose to be in Fa Tan.

"Phai? How did you get here?"

She was twitching nervously it's so obvious. Why is she in Jen Chi, what is she looking inside this room. I took a glance at the room and notice some files, books. Its fancy I think this is an office, but dust are visible everywhere.

"A-akina!"

She gulp down trying to relax and breath down. She looks like she'd been caught up on something.

"Why are you here?"

I can't hide the coldness in my voice, she might be mu bestfriend but I knew she was up to something.

"I-i came here to look for you"

Its sounded like unsure.

"Looking for me? Why?"

"I am...I got bored in my work in Jen Chi and decided to come look for you here and help you with your mission"

"In this room?"

She composed her standing figure and was looking everywhere except my eyes. From this moment I knew something is up, but I'm not gonna question her that. Or something will happen that wasn't correspondingly to every thing.

"I ask people about you, and they told me you work in the palace and I came here looking for you"

That's suspicious, why would people know about me, I didn't make a name at the town. But I still push the situation.

"In this room?"

I ask again.

"I just e-enter this random room and see a bunch of files. Hoping your n-name wa there and so where you work at the palace"

She nervously laugh at the end of her sentence, the stuttering in her voice are so obvious.

"Ok, how did you enter the palace ground anyway?"

"Akina, we are clever as fox we do this all the time remember?"

She was referring to the time where we successfully enter a house without anyone noticing. I look at her dead serious in the eyes which makes her gulp down again. I won't let this slide Phai, I know you're up to something. I'll find that out.

"Don't worry, I'll let you stay in my room so no one will find out"

I lead her to my room without anyone noticing, if I won't know the real reason why she was here, it will be my fault if something happen, letting stranger into the palace. But I will let Lord Ti Yu know about this just in case.

"This is your room? Why is it so elegant? You told me you're just a maid here"

"Special treatment because I save the high superior from danger"

I lied. She seem to believe it.

"Now stay here, I'll go get a food"

Closing the door I stop and look at her.

"And don't leave this room"

I said before walking away with a mind full of questions.
