"W-what child?!" Zhou Ya was flabbergasted.

"Weren't you 2 months pregnant when you died?"

"What!? Of course not!" She immediately denied.

Zhou Shan looked at her expression. Seeing no lies from her, he immediately concluded that the plot was wrong. But how could it be? The plot clearly stated that she was killed when she was 2 months pregnant.

"Tell brother. How did you die?" Zhou Shan softly asked making Zhou Ya teared up a bit.

"Bai Daiyu killed me!"

"The woman from earlier, right?"

"Un!"

"But why did the crown prince said that you committed suicide and that you were pregnant?"

"I dont know. The only thing that I know that may be related to my death was when I told Bai Daiyu the secret that I accidentally found on Wang Haoran's study 2 months before my death."

"What secret?" Zhou Dhan confusedly asked.

"...I accidentally found out that Wang Haoran has been interacting with the barbarians all along. From ever since he's young. I told Bai Daiyu about this secret and even told her that I'd be going back home to tell you and grandpa." Zhou Ya breathed hard trying to relaxed her breathing. She sniffed and continued,

"I kindly and sincerely asked her a favor to keep it a secret. She was my bestfriend! I thought she world never betray me!" She cried once again hugging his brother's waist.

"Shh. Shh. Dont think about it anymore. The past is in the past. Lets never discuss it anymore, okay? Brother is here. Grandpa is also here. Dont worry. You just have to live the life you wanted. The life that you missed before. Dont hesitate to say it. Grandpa and me would never stop your passion and we will support you to no end...Didnt you want to be a soldier? Then be a soldier." Zhou Shan softly comforted her sister with these words. They are true, anyways.

Zhou Ya sniffed and sniffed. "Okay,hicc, brother, hicc."

A moment later, the door opened from the outside. An old man carrying an intimidating aura hastily went inside. His face clearly showed a worried expression.

"Grandpa." Zhou Shan lightly called out.

"O-old m-- Grandpa, hicc." Zhou Ya said. Her eyes still having the traces of tears.

The Imperial Duke looked at his only grandchildren, Zhou Ya and Zhou Shan.

"What happened?" The old man worriedly asked as he walked towards the two.

Before he could stop his pace, a shadow jumped to him in a hug. Its his grandaughter. He hugged back and asked once again.

"I-it...s n...t...i..ng, hicc." Her words incomprehensible.

Zhou Shan helplessly sighed.

"Grandpa, little sister just told me she wants to be a soldier."

"A soldier??! GOOD!!!!! Grandpa has finally have someone to follow in his footsteps! Why are you crying then? Is it because you're scared that I wont let you?" The Imperial Duke excitedly said. When Zhou Ya heard her old man's words, she doesnt know what to do and just nodded her head eagerly.

"Fool child! Didnt grandpa already told you that grandpa will support both of you in whatever you want in life!? Grandpa would never broke his promise."

"Un!" Zhou Ya could only voiced this word.

Zhou Shan felt something warm in his chest. This is what a true family should be. His cold face soften a bit and a light tick in his mouth appeared.
