Chapter 1: Back to the palace
Shi lian
Miss, what are you doing? Master and madam ate waiting for you...
I can't believe all this. I only begin to grasp reality again when i feel the warmth of my mother's embrace and hear my father's voice.
But when i think about... I begin crying nonstop. My parents have no idea what's going on and they try to comfort me, but i cry even harder.
I regret putting my faith in to the wrong man. No one will use me to get what they want in this lifetime. No one will be allowed to hurt those i love...
Slowly, i calm down. I give my parents a warm smile and tell them softly, yet firmly.
Yī nuò
Mom, dad, i want to work to palace.
Mother
Carzy girl. What are you even saying? Isn't life at home good enough for you? You do understand what it means to work in palace right? plus, are you really going to leave me and your father?
My once solid resolve is shaken a little. It's impossible to balance everything out. But i cannot tell them the truth in order to protect them I decide to Agree with my parents.
However, my worries show when I aren't paying attention. My parents see everything and get worried. Eventually they cave into my persistence. they start to change their minds.
Father
Fine. I know you won't change your mind. You're not an impulsive person, and we trust you. You have to be careful when you're in the palace.
Yī nuò
*Crying* I will be!
Mother
*eyes red* I don't need you to become wealthy, just make sure you stay happy and safe!
Shi lian
*Runs over* Miss!
It's my Maid who grew up with me. I am her mistress, but the two of us are more like sisters. Shi lian insist on coming with me in the palace so we can help each other out.
I begin my journal to the palace with my parents love. The path ahead. Might be filled with thorns, but nothing will stop me from taking vengeance!
My family paid off the interviewers to let me get through the interview. I am unexpectedly calm as i see the impeding palace in front of me.
Shi lian
*Excited* Miss! Miss! The floor is made of marble, and the wall, and the halls... I thought our mansion was already wealthy as can be but this...
Yī nuò
*Look up to the palace* of course. Our mansion was not comparable to the palace.
I watch the petals dance in a distance and think to myself: perhaps my fate is like this flower.
Still, saving my family and taking down the the Crown prince won't be easy. I have to be perfectly aware when I'm in the palace. Get along with everyone and make no mistakes.
The old matron's mean voice interrupts my thoughts.
Old matron
*Harshly* The most important part of the palace is the rules. Now get busy you need to get familiar with the duties in the palace. So get changed! You have to dress appropriately. If you make any mistakes you can just go home.
Shi lian
*Tense* Miss, let's get changed!
(Shi lian has the same maid outfit)
I remember i have spent many days here. Some are sweet, while some are painful. I promised myself I would take revenge If there was an afterlife and i always keep my words...
