[Fanfiction Countryhumans x OC] Let the flame paint your soul

Chapter 12: In that garden

"It's been three days, and what have we achieved?"

Mongolian Empire, the man with a well-built body, tall and muscular, aimed at a room where he knew the strange Western girl was in.

"Nothing but a weak, unconscious girl that was about to die. You've changed the whole plan! My soldiers were dragged to Peking. They sacrificed their lives just for you to bring that girl here so that we can make a deal with those foreigners. But you shot her, and now she is dying. We're gonna lose everything because of your foolish mistake".

While the Mongolian was furious, China was being China, his face remained a malevolent smirk. He was tall and thin in his red brocade cheongsam. His body had many wounds that had been caused by the Western nations.

"Changed the whole plan?" - China finally spoke out. His voice was cold, despite his face showing a sweet smile. - "I said we had to bring the girl here at any cost, did I mention about her being alive?"

"...What do you mean? Do you know who she is?"

"How can I not know? She plays an essential role in our plan. We brought her here to separate the Western powers in Peking. However, it is just a short - term goal to mess up with the situation for us to regain Peking. In order to regain our dominant power in Asia, we will need a huge financial resource. Besides, a new target for the Western's huge powers is also required. Tell me, what will provide us with those two things, mr Mongolian?"

Mongolian Empire changed his expression second by second while listening to China. He didn't even know that he was showing admiration for the Chinese's idea. He realized that he had been acting hasty the whole time.

"A great war".

He said and China chuckled.

"But what will we do? Those bastards knew that we were keeping her".

"Well, the fact is, humans don't like thinking simply. Just wait and see".

China left with those final words. When he passed the girl's room, he stopped for a few moments to look through the crevice of the door. That was the German Empire's fiancee. Although she was known as being on the Western's bastards's side, she didn't look like them. When he shot her, she was just acting like a little hurt animal trying to escape from that place. It seemed like the love of such a huge power was being a cage for her.

"Sacrifice has to be done". - China thought. - "And I never need forgiveness".

"Sister..."

Jocasta mumbled as she slowly opened her eyes, feeling stunned by the sudden light of the room. She still felt a hot pain on her left shoulder when she tried to move. She had had a mysterious dream again. In that dream, she had seen sister Xavia and had been cured by her. She also remembered her words.

"You're close to it".

Jocasta didn't know that being brought here could be so fortunate for her. She could feel that power around, even when she was unconscious.

"Oh, you're finally awake".

Jocasta saw a Chinese girl in the room.

"Don't move, you will hurt yourself". - The Chinese girl said. - "Wait, I will call the doctor".

A few minutes later, an old Chinese doctor came into the room to check on Jocasta. He said there was nothing to worry about. She only needed to relax to recover. After that, the Chinese girl left Jocasta some food before going out of the room and locked the door. A girl would come into the room five times a day to give Jocasta food, help her with bathing and treating her wounds. The girl was a quiet type. She didn't talk much. However, she was kind. Jocasta could see it by the way she took care of her meals and wounds. She was only a teenager, but she had a look of an adult on her face.
