SHINING STAR

Chapter Three

Ellie stood up and called the maid at the door.The door opens and a small girl about the age of eight or nine and so skinny as if she would break any minute enters and kneel to greet the princess waiting for instructions. Ellie asked the maid to rise her head and she looks into the girl's eye and remember her past life again.
   The girl before her eye was the girl that helps her escape the palace during the hat war period by impersonating her. It turns out the girl was from the snake clan. She sneaks into the palace to find out about her mother who enters the palace but never returns home,hence she came to investigate about it.Ellie knew what happens to her mother and will her with her mother's case. The snake clan have ability to transform into anyone they want as far as they have seen the person and can also bewitched anyone person and even kills through poison or devouring.
  " You must be from the snake clan. For you to transform into a skinny flower girl really make you unnoticeable,you have done well." Ellie stated which shock the snake girl because she has actually entered the palace unnoticed and have been a wallpaper no one ever noticed who would have thought the dump princess will be the first person to notice her and this cause her to panic.
   "Don't worry I am the only one who knows your identity and am willing to help you so tell me what your mission for entering the palace is?"Ellie said while sitting at the edge of the bed."My name is Cassara and I am the snake clan first princess,I came to the palace in search of my mother Queen Aora who enters the palace but has yet to return. If your highness is willing to help me then I shall forever be indebted to you and help you in the palace. My Father and our entire clan shall also be indebted to you as my mother is very important and now even my father has lock himself in seclusion because he feels guilty thett his greed has lead to his beloved missing for almost a year."
  Ellie looks at the girl and keep asking her about her age which is 150 year old and asked her about the situation in her clan which she state that her brother which is 130 year old have taken over and is awaiting her news from below. The snake clan actually leaves below the ground and the king wanted them to rise above and leave freely that why he made the queen comes into the palace to make alliance with the humans for peace. Who would have wonder they would be caught into the spider web of imperial consort Aish so was just waiting for an opportunity to land at her feet and the snake queen would be taken advantage of.
Ellie  states " Your Mother is alive as she was captured by the imperial consort in an underground dungeon where she torture and devour abilities of clans she comes across and I assume she must want your mother's power and abilities that way she would keep the emperor to herself by bewitching him.But don't worry I have a way but I don't know if you will be satisfied with it?" Cassara looks with determine voice "I will do anything to save my mother just tell me what I should do and I will."
   "Okay then since you have made up your mind then how about going to the prime minister's house and impersonate his daughter who will be entering the palace in three days.Yiu should be able to inform your clan from below to send at least 10 members who will be your maids and bodyguard so that will the rescue operation easy and you will also be entering the palace with an identity as it will make it easy to infiltrate the palace as the emperor's concubine than a maid.What do you think?" Ellie looks into Cassara eye that was wide open as she can believe this idea that is so effective and easy and wonder how she has never thought of it all this while she has been in the palace.
  " Thank you princess the next time we meet I shall follow all your instructions so we work together. I shall take my leave now and here as a token of gratitude my poison in tablet foam Incase you land in trouble hope it will help before I officially enter the palace." Cassara said and place a  small white tablet vase on the bedside table.
