"Why are we walking to the market today,Miss?" May look around.She is happy to see different merchandise and antiques,food stall and other entertainment but her Miss never left home too often before.
"We need to find a fateful encounter."
May look blankly at her Miss.
It seems her Miss wants to get married.
Ivory just look at her back with disdain.
"It's for you! If you can increase your strength then no one will bully me either."
"Isn't it better to cure you and be able to cultivate?"
"And I will fight? Tell me,do you hate me that much and refuse to get strong to protect me?"
"But Miss...I might become greedy and leave you instead of being able to pay you with gratitude!" May refuse.
"If you can feel troubled because of that then I feel more at ease.Besides you are like sister to me.If you chose to stay or leave,it all will bring joy to me as long as you are alive."
"Miss!" May cried and hug Ivory.
"But first we should encounter a fateful meeting.Hurry,we should walk all the streets."
"Is that how to encouter a fateful meeting?"
"These days,if you stay at home you'll die at home.We can't wait for fate.We should find it!" Ivory determined and declare
May is so overwhelm and happy that she forgot to tell her Miss that that will end up not being a fateful meeting if it's not fate who brings them together.
They really walk every corner,and all the talk in the street is a young lady dying miserably by unknown black cloth assassin in the city gate.
Her body shows sign of being sexually abuse first before dying.
May shivers and look at her Miss.
"You think this is the work of Lady...."
"It's her alright.And so what? It doesn't concern us." But honestly,Ivory is shaken.She cannot feel safe as long as she's single.
"I should get married." Ivory whisper.
She doesn't knew since when May and her been separated in the vast of people going and leaving the market but she finally find herself alone.
She walks and walks but the lesser and lesser the people she can see.
Finally,she is in the bush hiding and the sky is already dark.
She is hiding because she is scared.
"That's all I can tell you right now."
Suddenly,a voice rang.
Ivory flich.
Her body shakes and she elbow a stem and the bush moves.
"Who is there!" A powerful voice rang and shakens the whole forest.Alot of animal felt the threat and scram away from the murderous intent.
"Me! I am here. But who are you? I don't mean to offend you..Please,I'm just hiding in the bush.Do not concern yourself with me." Ivory hurriedly exclaim still hiding in the bush.
"Master,let's kill him!"
"Don't kill me! For being here,I will be killed? Oh have mercy! I am a woman too..You can have my beautiful body just let me live!" Ivory almost pee.
"This.." The black cloth man almost reddened his entire face from the shamelessness of the woman.
"Why are you hiding in the bush?" A magnetic and handsome voice of a young man echoed in the forest.
But Ivory can't appreciate beauty right now.
"Hiding! I'm hiding here."
"Why are you hiding? Are you spying my Master?"
"Spying? I got lost and now I'm in the forest,I'm hiding from beast.As you can tell,Sir practitioners, I am a waste.The number one waste of this kingdom.How can I spy people?" Ivory really get her fateful meeting but in the cost of her life.
"Ivory Eldan?"
Lilian wonder why this woman who is pretty but weak is in the forest.
"Miss!!! Miss!!!!" A strong scream is heard.
"May?! May!!! I am here!! You finally came to save me!!! Hurry some bandit wants to rape me!" Ivory went and reveal her hiding place.
She saw a black cloth handsome man and the most handsome man she ever saw.
"Shameless! We are no bandit and never been interested with you!" The black cloth man is furious.
"I just say that so she will hurry.And I saw you and your Master are two handsome male.
Even a trash like me has some god blessing to be able to laid my eyes with you." Ivory has a tone of fawning.
The black cloth man sneer but the Master stare at the woman.
"Woman,you want to become my concubine?"
"Master!"
Ivory look at the handsome man in disbelief.He has an eye of a confident man and there's enmity in his eyes.
"No way." Ivory almost get frozen from the coldness of the man's eyes.
"You dare say no to Master?" The black cloth man is enrage.
"What do you really want me to do,seriously? "
"Woman,I am very strong. Why don't you become my concubine?"
"Mas...ter?"
"Because,I don't want to become a concubine."
"Haha! Woman,you really has no self awareness,a weak woman like you is not fit to become my Master's concubine,let alone a Wife!"
"That's why I don't want to.I will become a Wife and not a concubine.Even if I have to marry a farmer!" Ivory has a resolute eyes and left in a hurry and reunite with her maid.
She look back but didn't see the two males.
But she will not compromise,even if it's a title that is accepted in this era,she will never become a second wife or a woman to warm bed by a man already has a wife.
Her goal is A legal Wife .
"What's wrong Miss?"
"Nothing,I thought I saw a God level rank beast.Maybe it's just my imagination?"
May shivers and pull her Miss away.
Ivory giggles but the face of that man really is stunning.
"Coveting such a handsome man can kill me so no way,right?" Ivory whisper.
"Did you say something,Miss? Hurry,maybe that God level beast might return!"
"Haha...nothing.I'm just joking in seeing a God level beast though."
May pauses and glare at Ivory.
Ivory stiffened.
"That's good then.I don't want anything to happen to Miss." May eyes softened.
Ivory jump and hugs May.
"Aww..So sweet.."
"Miss?"
