Unbridled

The silver haired youth woke up from the bed of her penthouse, confusion written on her face as she turned to the first person she saw.

"What happened, Art?" Chun asked her busy butler who was arranging paperworks for his young master.

"Young lord, your students solved the case and your body fell asleep by the table infront of the monitors so I took you with me after I confirmed that they finished the case," Art explained as he steadied his golden rimmed eyeglasses.

He helped the young man off the bed and assisted her to wear her slippers.

"What time is it?"

"It's 11 in the afternoon, young lord."

Surprised was present on Chun's face as she heard the words uttered by her butler.

"11? There's no class today?" Chun asked while dealing with her robes' belt.

Chun liked to wear her traditional clothing that came from her household's heritage. Stacks of colored robes were piled on her closet, from lighter ones to darker shades. Whereas her modern clothes were just few in numbers, around a pair of pants and a pair cream shirts and two pairs of shoes but most of all her reason was she preferred her traditional robes because it was comfortable to sleep with.

"It's weekend, young lord."

Art neared his young master and untangled the tousled belt and helped her on tying it.

"You're really perfect, Art," Chun commented as she thanked the butler.

"Did the general retrieved the precious item of the King?" the silver haired young man uttered as she started to eat the prepared meal. Art stood by her side, pouring tea to the cup of his young master.

"No."

"What sect did they infiltrated?"

"Skywave."

Chun did not react immediately as she was cutting precisely her steak or probably she did not care.

"Hmm... where's that silver box?" She then drank her rose tea.

"In my storage space."

After eating and doing her daily routine, Chun seated herself in the bed and gestured for Art to take out the silver box.

The silver box known as Pandora's silver box was one of the tale of Xanxia. Chun read it on their household library and she then asked Art to get her the copy of the book on her bookshelves.

The Origin of the Ten Continents.

Chun opened the book and searched through the pages, she finally found what she was looking for. It said 'Pandora's three boxes'.

Pandora was the only deity who doesn't govern a continent because she manages the three boxes given by the Creator. These boxes were one could call a disaster, a blessing or a curse. These boxes were previously on the Mountain Qi but a tragedy happened that made Pandora to hide the three boxes on separate locations.

The black box can grant one a power to destroy the whole world and it was rumoured to be on the Slatercort continent's dark lands ruled by the Demon King. The white box can help one to have a miraculous healing power that can cure any types of illnesses or diseases, even uncurable ones. And lastly, the silver box was known for its containment power, it was a remedy towards both of the former boxes. It can contain their powers and seal it.

Chun examined the silver box, it has a plain texture on its surface, no traces of markings or designs. Like a plain silver box.

'How can I open this?' Chun thought.
