Demon Dragons Reign II

Chapter 129: The Throne That Cuts

Back in China, in the Chen Zhu palace. DiMaria is in her room looking outside the window. It's been a week since they coordinated her and welcomed her into the family. Ever since that day she hasn't left her room. Only times she does leave her room is to go to the hot springs within the palace or to train. During her training sessions we doesn't go easy on anyone. Xian Yiang her right hand is the only one who can barely last four minutes sparring with her. All the other subordinates who follow her get easily defeated. Otherwise she remains inside her room, she doesn't speak to Tsukuyomi or the twins, Hotaru tries to speak to her but DiMaria ignores her. Hotaru sees this as her little sister being rebellious, but to DiMaria it's betrayal. As she looks outside her window she can barely see the Chinese skyline. All she's able to see is the palace and it's people who live within the palace. She lets out a sigh.

DiMaria: At least back home I can see all the different buildings and people. Here, it's just the same people over and over again and this boring and ugly view. I'm pretty sure outside the palace China is gorgeous.

Knocks can be heard coming from the door. She turns around thinking it's one of the maids when the knocks continue.

Xian: It's me my lady.

DiMaria: Xian?

She walks to the door and opens it allowing Xian inside.

DiMaria: What's up?

Xian: It's time for training my lady.

DiMaria: huh? Already?

Xian: Yes. You always do it around sun down. You don't like doing it when the sun is at its peak because..

DiMaria: The sun is at its hottest when it's in the peak.

Xian: Yes my lady.

She leans back in her chair and looks outside once more.

DiMaria: Have you ever been outside the palace Xian?

Xian: I have my lady. But not as of recently.

DiMaria: How come?

Xian: If you remember I told you I have an older brother.

DiMaria: Right, I remember you mentioning something like that.

Xian: Well yeah my brother holds a very powerful seat within the country. If I were to step outside the walls I'm afraid he will try to get me to join his side.

DiMaria: Do you not wish to be by his side?

Xian: If I may speak freely my lady.

DiMaria nods her head.

Xian: It's not that I don't wish to be by his side. As a matter of fact he has promised me on multiple occasions that I would be his right hand if I do, I'll hold the very same power her holds if not equal power.

DiMaria: That sounds like a good thing.

Xian: It is. But like I told you I have dedicated my life to serving you my lady. Until my days of serving you are over I will not go to my brothers side.

DiMaria smiles hearing that she made the right choice in trusting Xian.

DiMaria: Cancel training for today.

Xian: Are you sure my lady?

DiMaria: Yeah I'm going to do some other type of training. The type I've avoided ever since I got these powers.

Xian: Right. Then I'll leave you to it my lady.

He bows down and takes his leave. Once the door to her room closes. She takes the chair she was sitting in and puts it back to its original place. She then takes a sheet and a cushion placing it on the floor and taking a seat on it herself. She takes a seat and closes her eyes. She begins to focus on her power which til this point have only activated when she would have dreams of her past. Those dreams of the past served as a warning of what came.
