Chapter 1

•

"Far away from the oceans, on the ancient times, a tapestry full of mystery.

A young kid woke up from a deep sleep after healing into an incident"

•

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

I suddenly woke up in a strange room, with an old woman beside me.

Why is everything around me is so big?

This old woman... Who's this?

...

Mi- Oh, Yun. You're awake, are you feeling well now?

Yan- Me?... I am.

Mi- That's great. I have cooked you some soup...

...

"Mi Wang, the oldest doctor of Wei Bing"

...

I don't know who this old woman was.

Why did she called me "Yun"?

....

Mi- Here you go, Yun.

Yan- Thank you!

Mi- It's still hot, be careful.

...

The soup was amazing...

It was delicious and warm.

...

Yan- Thank you...

Mi- You're welcome.

Yan- Who are you anyway?

Mi- Oh, I'm Mi Wang.

Yan- M-mi Wang...?

...

I once knew the name, it is... this old woman was the oldest doctor of Wei Bing?

....

Mi- I found you on the lake, floating like dead.

...

I was reincarnated from my generation into this generation?

I remembered...

Back then, it was raining hard and I didn't have an umbrella.

I ran back home but on the way there, I slipped and fell into a puddle that made me reincarnate into this one.

...

Yan- Well. Thank you again, Lady Mi for taking good care of me.

Mi- No problem dear, it's my job after all.

...

I think I may have known this story from my history class, but I'm not sure.

...

Yan- May I ask?

Mi- Of course, you can.

Yan- Where am I?

Mi- You're in Wei Bing, dear.

Yan- Wei Bing, what's in here?

Mi- It's a kingdom but under the tyrant's rule.

Yan- Tyrant...

Mi- There's a ton of people working here.

...

I think I've read the word "Wei Bing" in that novel.

It could be, I'm in the generation of the tyrant's time?

...

Yan- There's an emperor?

Mi- Yes there is. He's the emperor, the tyrant.

Yan- I knew it.

Mi- Did you say something?

Yan- Nothing... I think, I got to go.

Mi- Go ahead. Next time, don't play in the water again...

Yan- Yeah...

...

"Yan stood up and left"

...

Now, I can see the world out of it.

...

Yan- It's so crowded...

...

I think I'm lost... Everything's big around me.

Am I a child? Who's body is this?

...

Yan- Uh.

...

"Yan walked straightly until she saw a strange gate in front of her"

...

Finally, I'm free from the crowd. But where am I?

...

Yan- Hm... This should be where the tyrant lives.

...

According to the novel...

He is handsome but he's scary, cold, and merciless.

...

Yan- I wonder what he's doing right now.

...

Apparently, the novel says...

He's killing people intentionally without hesitation.

He loves killing them as a hobby.

...

Yan- It's like a horror.

...

"Suddenly, two men approached her"

...

Man 1- Hey little girl, you shouldn't be standing here.

Yan- Huh?

Man 2- There are all spies and guards everywhere in Wei Bing.

Man 1- Be careful, they might caught you. You could've die.

Yan- Oh! Thanks for telling me...

...

I nearly got caught if the two didn't warn me.

...

Yan- Where should I go now...

...

"Yan sat on a corner and just watched people pass by"

...

Yan-(sigh)

...

I'm bored.

I wonder how do I look like...

...

"Suddenly, Yan heard a gossip beside her"

...

Woman 1- Hey!

Woman 2- What's the news?

Woman 1- Do you know that the eight princess is begging right now to the emperor to spare her life and her mother's life too?

Woman 2 - Yes, I've heard it. The eight princess was really so confident that she begs her father to spare her life even though she knew that the emperor could kill her.

Woman 1- I don't even know if the emperor will like the eight princess, the emperor doesn't even care about her.

...

Right... The emperor have a lot of children, they are all eight in total.

...

Woman 2- The emperor favors more about the fourth princess.

Woman 1- Yeah, I heard that too.

Woman 2- What? Where? To whom? I swear, I'm only the one who knows that.

...

The fourth princess...

Well, the tyrant... Joo Lee, had eight children.

If I'm not mistaken, the three of them died.

The third princess, Qui, died because she poisoned herself when she was young.

The fifth prince, Bay, died because his mother killed him when she was mad, the emperor beheaded his mother after he knew.

And lastly, the sixth prince, Sel. He died after a few days when he was newly born due to his disease.

The remaining five are.

The first prince, Jangwu. The novel doesn't tell much about him but it says that animals loves him.

The second prince, Hoosui. He's the most scariest among them because he loves killing people also like his father, but in other ways...

Next is the fourth princess, Kei, the novel describes her as a pretty girl but mean. She was the biggest enemy of the eight princess even though if they're siblings. Otherwise, the tyrant favors her more because she's the child of the queen.

The seventh prince, Tin Ye, he's cold and so mature. The novel doesn't describes him much.

Lastly, the eight princess, Chi. She was the least favorite of the emperor...

They're all from the Lee family. But I wonder how the emperor had eight children in total and multiple wives too.

What are they doing by now...

...

*At the tyrant's palace*

...

"The tyrant is cursing the eight princess with such painful words"

...

Joo- You have such a confident to take one step forward in my place.

Chi- F-father...

Kei- Father! Look how she speaks. She have no shame of you.

Joo- How disrespectful!

Zul- Please, you're majesty! I beg you...

Joo- Tsk. Behead her head!

Guard 1- Yes your majesty!

Zul- No please! Don't do this to me!

Chi- Mother!

Joo- Little kid, you messed with the wrong person.

...

"Zul, she's the mother of the eight princess"

*The eight princess burst into tears*

...

Chi- Father! Why would you kill my mother!?

Kei- Pfft.

Joo- So what do you want me to do?

Chi- Let her live! I'll do anything...

Joo- Anything huh?

Chi- Please! Father!

...

*Chi's eyes brightened and made a cute face in front of the tyrant*

...

Kei- Father-

Joo- Tsk.

...

*The tyrant glares at the fourth princess*

*Kei trembled*

(Kei- I never knew he would glare at me like that. I felt like my soul left my body...)

...

Joo- And why should I let you two live?

Chi- I beg you father! Spare us!

...

"Chi begged so many times at the tyrant, the tyrant kicks her everytime she gets near the tyrant but she never gives up"

...

Joo- Argh.

...

(Joo- How long will this kid kept trying?)

...

Minister Jung- Your majesty...

Joo- Check on Zul, don't kill her yet.

Minister- Huh!? R-right away your majesty!

...

*Minister Jung rushed out*

(Chi- Does it work!? All I need is just peace... Will he spare us?)

...

Kei- Father?

Joo- Don't bother me right now.

...

(Kei- W-why does he looks so scary right now? Does he hate me? Is it because of this ugly girl! He never treats me like this before...)

*Minister Jung had returned*

...

Minister Jung- Your majesty, she's not beheaded yet.

Joo- Spare her life for now.

Minister Jung- Your majesty!?

Joo- You heard me, move her in the palace beside the lake. Send some guards to make sure she will not escape.

Minister Jung- Right away, your majesty.

...

(Minister Jung- I'm surprised! The emperor had never spared someone's life before.)

(Kei- What!? It can't be! Her mother should be killed.)

...

Joo- Listen to me, kid.

Chi- Huh?

Joo- I'm sparing your life with your mother.

Chi- Really!? Thank you very much!

...

*Chi hugged the tyrant*

...

Kei- What!?

...

*Kei was jealous and angrily left*

(Kei- I can't believe father spared their life!)

...

Chi- Hm?

...

"When Chi looked at the tyrant, she seem scared"

*Chi stepped back*

...

Chi- Uhm...

Joo- Bring her in the palace beside my garden, also... Bring her a new servant.

Minister Jung- Yes your majesty.

...

*After the scene, Chi entered her new home and meet her new servant*

...

Chi- Oh! What a wonderful house.

Lil- Greetings your majesty.

Chi- Oh, hi!

Lil- I'm Lil, I'll be your servant. Nice to meet you!

Chi- Great! I'm Chi.

Lil- What a wonderful name!

Chi- Your new right?

Lil- Yes, I am!

Chi- We could go explore the palace! It's quite big.

Lil- Sure, let's head in princess.

...

*Around the streets*

...

Yan- Hm... What if I'll sneak in.

...

*Yan went near the kingdom walls*

...

Oh no... I can't climb this! I'm not that tall... I guess I have to wait for the right time.

...

Yan- It's getting late, I should go find a shelter.

...

"While Yan was walking on the road, she saw a carriage passing by and saw a familiar character inside that carriage"

...

Wait. Is that the eight princess' mother, Zul?...

I know her face and clothes based on the novel... But why is she there, I thought they're going to be killed today.

Where is she even going..?

...

Yan- I'm too curious, just continue walking...

...

"Yan had found an empty corner beside the street"

...

Yan- Alright, I guess... I'll spend my night here.

...

"Yan spent her night, sleeping on the streets"

...

Yan- I'm homeless... Why can't I just have my own house?

...

*Next morning*

....

Yan- Finally... After that cold night. It's all over...

...

"Yan got up and noticed herself dirty"

...

Yan- I'm so dirty, I should go and wash my hands. I'll go to the lake...

...

"Yan had found a lake near the street and cleaned herself there, upon washing her face. She saw her reflection"

...

Yan- What a beautiful face... So this is my body now...

...

I think I might recognize this character. It should be...

This body is supposedly to be dead a long time ago! This character died in the first war between this country and its enemy. How did I reincarnate from this body? How did it go to the lake...

...

Yan- This girl's name is Che Yun. She's a background character or... A hidden character.

...

Otherwise, I don't fully yet know this girl. But I'll have to survive...

...

*At Chi's palace*

...

Chi- Is it morning?

Lil- Yes your majesty!

Chi- Did you have any sleep?

Lil- Oh! Don't worry about me, princess... I'm fine!

...

(Chi- I've never live in this place. I can't believe I'm living in my own palace now!)

...

Chi- Where's mother anyway?

Lil- Didn't the emperor told you?

Chi- No...

Lil- Uh, your mother was sent into another palace. She's fine there.

Chi- Good!

...

*Later that morning*

"Chi had eaten breakfast and was playing outside her house"

....

Chi- Pretty little flowers!

Lil- Be careful princess... Those flowers could caught you up some allergies.

Chi- Don't worry, I don't have any allergies!

...

"Chi noticed two man standing on the entrance"

...

Chi- Who are they?

Lil- Oh! They're the guards, they're sent here to guard us!

Chi- Cool!

Guard 2- The emperor is here!

Lil- Oh! Seems like your father came.

Chi- What..?

...

"The tyrant got off his carriage and entered"

...

Guard 2 and 3- Greetings your majesty!

Lil- Greetings your majesty!

...

(Chi- Why is he here?!)

...

Minister Jung- Your majesty... Here's the eight princess.

Chi- H-hello father!

...

(Minister Jung- Oh God, please save this little young one! She's too young to die.)

(Joo- Every time I look into her eyes, she gets cuter...)

...

Joo- Why are you out here?

Chi- I'm just playing! Do you want to join me?

Joo- No, I'm not a kid anymore.

...

(Chi- He's so scary...)

...

Joo- It's too cold outside, you must stay inside.

Chi- But, it's summer.

...

(Joo- She's talking back now...)

(Chi- Did I did something wrong? Why does he look at me like that...)

...

Chi- Father...

Joo- Get inside, you could've get sick.

Chi- Y-yes father!

Joo- And you.

Lil- Your majesty!

Joo- Take her inside.

Lil- Y-yes your majesty! Let's get inside now princess...

...

(Chi- Why does father doesn't want me to play outside?)

*Chi and Lil walked back inside*

...

Joo- Hm. Let's go.

Minister Jung- Your majesty? Are you not going inside?

Joo- No, it's just a waste of time.

Minister Jung- Alright your majesty!

...

(Minister Jung- He just traveled all the way here to tell the eight princess to get back inside...)

...

*A couple of days later*

"The tyrant kept the eight princess and the eight princess had changed a lot since her father spared her life"

...

*At Kei's palace*

...

Kei- Ugh! I hate that girl.

Servant 1- Don't worry princess, I'm sure the emperor will get rid of her soon.

Kei- Hmph! He should've done it few days ago.

Guard 4- The emperor is here!

Kei- Father!

Servants- Greetings your majesty.

Kei- Father! You're here.

Joo- I'm just checking something.

Kei- Don't worry father! I'm fine.

Joo- Not you, I'm just checking your surroundings.

Kei- Huh?

...

(Kei- What!? Am I not important any more!?)

...

Minister Jung- Your majesty! It seems that everything is fine.

Joo- Good.

Kei- But I'm not fine!

Joo- What?

Kei- Why are you ignoring me?!

Joo- You? Ignoring...

Kei- Why did you even spare that girl's life!? Why didn't you just killed her!

Joo- Why would I?

...

"The tyrant made a scary glare at Kei"

(Kei- Terrifying!)

...

Kei- F-father...

Joo- Let's go.

Minister Jung- Yes your majesty.

...

*The tyrant left*

(Kei- Why am I scared!? I never seen him so scary like this before...)

...

Kei- What did I do wrong?

Servant 1- Maybe it's because the eight princess. He turned cold on you.

Kei- That girl!

...

*At Chi's palace*

...

Chi- I love this palace!

Lil- Me too!

Chi- I'm bored. Let's go visit father!

Lil- Uh, are you sure your majesty?

Chi- I am! Let's go.

Lil- Wait for me your majesty! Let's ride to the carriage!

Chi- I also have my own carriage!?

Lil- Of course, princess!

...

"The eight princess and her servant went to the tyrant's palace"

*At the tyrant's palace*

...

Chi- Let's get in!

Lil- Wait your majesty! We must inform the emperor first, he will be disturbed if we don't!

Chi- Alright.

...

Guard 1- Greetings your majesty, the eight princess is here to visit you.

Joo- Chi? Let her in.

Guard 1- Yes your majesty.

...

*Chi had entered*

...

Chi- Father!

Minister Jung- Be careful princess!

Joo- Why are you here?

Chi- I'm here to see you father!

Joo- Oh, really?

...

*The tyrant carried up Chi*

(Joo- She's so light. Have this child eaten?)

(Minister Jung- This child had a lot of confidence to visit the tyrant...)

...

Joo- Where would you want to go?

Chi- Anywhere with you!

Joo- Alright. Let's go to the garden.

Minister Jung- But your majesty! How about your meeting?

Joo- Cancel them. Tell them I had an important meeting on others.

Minister- Uh... R-right away your majesty!

...

*The tyrant left with Chi*

(Minister Jung- I've never seen him cancel a single meeting for just an important one!)

...

*In the tyrant's garden*

...

Joo- Here we are.

Chi- Wow!

Joo- There's also some food here.

Chi- Yummy!

...

*The tyrant carefully put Chi down*

...

Chi- Can I eat this all?

Joo- Of course, you can.

Chi- Yes!

...

*Minister Jung burst in*

...

Minister Jung- Your majesty, Concubine Lui is here to see you!

Joo- Lui?

Chi- Huh? Concubine Lui?

Joo- Let her in.

Minister Jung- Yes your majesty, but what about the eight princess?

Joo- Don't mind her.

Minister Jung- Alright your majesty!

...

"Concubine Lui, one of the concubines of the tyrant"

...

Chi- Father... What's a concubine?

Joo- Uh, you'll know soon...

...

*Concubine Lui entered*

(Lui- Wait... A child is with him! Who's Child is this!?)

...

Lui- Hello, your majesty~

...

(Chi- The way she speaks is just...)

...

Joo- What do you want?

Lui- I have learned a new dance, and I would want to perform it for you!

Joo- Really?

Lui- But this dance is just for you... Not for two.

Joo- Oh... Don't mind the eight princess.

...

(Lui- The eight!?)

...

Lui- B-but.

Joo- If you have nothing to say, go on... Dance or leave.

Lui- I'll perform this dance just on you, I don't want that child to ruin-

Joo- Minister Jung.

Minister Jung- I'm right here, your majesty...

Joo- Take her away.

Minister- Right away, your majesty!

Lui- Wait! No, you're majesty! I didn't mean to!

...

"The guards had taken Lui to be killed and Chi suddenly trembled of fear"

(Chi- So scary... Even his own guest was sent away.)

...

Joo- Are you alright?

Chi- Y-yes...

Joo- Don't be scared, I'm not gonna do that to you.

Chi- No worries...

...

"Chi and the tyrant spent their time together"

...

*Outside the palace*

...

Yan- I'm so hungry.

...

"Yan was trying to find money to buy food"

"Yan found a bag on the ground"

...

Yan- A bag? Uh. There's nothing bad if I'll take a look inside. I can't catch the owner though...

...

"Yan picked up the bag and found a lot of gold and silver inside"

...

Yes, I can buy a lot of food.

...

"Yan went around the streets and brought a lot of food"

...

Yan- I'll just find a peaceful spot where I can peacefully eat...

...

"Yan found an empty spot behind a house, she decided to eat there"

...

*After eating*

...

That was delicious, I've never eaten a lot of food since I've been reincarnated.

...

Yan- Hm... I should go and explore around the kingdom.

...

*Yan returned*

"Gracefully, she found a lot of gossipers who are already gossiping"

...

Let's see what they have.

...

"Yan stand back on a corner near them"

...

Woman 4- Hey! Do you know about the news?

Woman 3- What? No. Can you repeat it again?

Woman 4- The tyrant had spared the eight princess' life as well as her mother's life.

Woman 5- Wait, what?! Really?

Woman 4- Yes! I heard it. And the tyrant sent her mother far away.

...

I got it, that's why I saw her yesterday on a carriage. The novel says that they have got beheaded after that scene, but what happened? I don't understand...

...

Woman 3- Huh? Why?

Woman 4- I don't even know why.

Woman 5- I think, the tyrant wants to keep the eight princess safe from her mother.

...

Right. The eight princess was abused by her mother, some people knows the eight princess treats her mother better. But the eight princess remained silent and still adoring her mother ever since.

...

Woman 4- Yeah, your right.

Woman 3- I wonder how's the eight princess is doing...

Woman 5- She must be enjoying right now.

...

I'll leave now. It's getting late...

...

*Yan had left*

"She went back to where she slept last night"

...

Yan- It's getting late. I'll have to spend my night here again...

...

*At the tyrant's palace*

...

Joo- It's getting late, I'll take you home.

Chi- Yes father!

...

"The tyrant had taken the eight princess back to her house"

...

Joo- There. Go inside.

Chi- Thank you father!

...

*Next morning*

"It was raining hard"

...

Chi- Oh! I thought it was summer...

Lil- Sometimes, the weather changes typically. I'm sure the rain will be off soon...

Chi- But I wanna see father!

Lil- But, your majesty. You might get sick, let's just wait until the rain stops.

...

*Outside the palace*

"Yan is completely wet"

...

Ugh! I hate this weather.

...

Yan- Why are you like this?

...

*A lightning had striked*

...

Yan- Ugh, don't do that.

...

I have to find another shelter...

...

Yan- I can't even find any shelter, they're all the same.

...

"Yan straightly went to the backwoods of the kingdom"

"She ended up to the kingdom walls"

...

Oh...

...

"She saw a small hole beside her"

...

The rain is getting hard.

...

"Yan had entered the hole and ended up on the storage area"

...

One... Three... Five. Eight? Eight guards!

...

*Eight guards are all over the place*

...

How will I escape these eight guards? I can't just fight these guys, I don't want a one versus eight.

...

Yan- Hm...

...

There's the entrance gate, but I can't just walk out there. I need to find other ways to escape! I could barely fight them but I'm just a kid...

...

"Yan had found another hole on the right corner of the walls"

...

That one... I hope it will not lead me to the tyrant's place.

...

"Yan carefully sneaked across the right wall without making any sound"

...

If they had caught me, I'm dead.

...

"Yan had successfully escaped the storage area and got into the eight princess' palace"

...

Now, who's palace is this... The eight princess?

I'll have to hide... There are two guards standing in front of the gate.

...

"She sneakily went to the back of the house"

...

*After a few minutes*

...

Chi- I'm bored.

Lil- W-what?

Chi- Are you tired? You look so pale.

Lil- I'm fine, your majesty... I just didn't get any sleep last night.

Chi- Then, you have to sleep!

Lil- Huh?

Chi- You can sleep here, it's fine. It's an order from me!

Lil- Alright your majesty, thank you.

...

"The servant had fallen asleep"

...

Chi- When will this rain end?

...

There's the eight princess... I have to kept silent. I don't even know why am I here...

...

"Suddenly, Chi had heard a scratch from the window"

...

Chi- Who's that?

...

Oh no.

...

"Chi checked the window and she almost screamed, she had seen Yan standing beside the window"

...

Chi- Ah!

Yan- Shh.

...

"Yan jumped in and shut Chi's mouth"

...

Yan- Don't try to scream or else.

Chi- W-who are you...? You're all wet!

Yan- Is that your servant?

Chi- Uh, yes. She's sleeping...

Yan- Well, princess. Listen, I don't want any trouble but I'm just a peasant. I came here by accident, I'm trying to escape the guards...

...

I hope she can understand me.

...

(Chi- Oh. Is she lost? I'm also a peasant before, I should help her!)

...

Chi- Don't worry! I'll help you.

Yan- Really?

Chi- I can escort you back your home!

...

Only the eight princess the one who's friendly among her siblings, I should get closer to her.

...

Yan- I don't need that, but you can hire me.

Chi- Hire? Oh! You can be my servant.

...

It worked but, that's not what I thought to...

...

Yan- No...

Chi- Huh?

...

(Chi- Why did she denied?)

...

I'm lazy to be a servant, I don't know but...

...

Yan- I wanted to be your protector.

Chi- What?

Yan- That's the agreement, I'm hired.

Chi- Uh, ok... If you want to.

Yan- Good.

...

It worked. At least, I'm not going to be a servant.

But, I didn't know why I'd said that. I'll have to protect her now...

...

Chi- Do you have home? I can escort you-

Yan- No need.

Chi- Huh?

Yan- I'll figure out my own.

Chi-Oh...

...

*The rain stopped*

...

Yan- I have to go now, we'll meet again soon.

Chi- Uh... sure?

...

"Yan escaped through the window"

...

I'll just sneak back, then I'll stay on the streets for now...

...

"Yan returned to the streets"

...

Yan- Success...

...

Hm... My dream is to be an agent one day but I can't fulfill that in present, so I'll just try to be in this generation.

...

*At Chi's palace*

...

Lil- Your majesty?

Chi- Oh! Your awake.

Lil- Did I sleep too long?

Chi- Not much!

Lil- Princess! Are you alright!? What happened? Why is the floor so wet?

Chi- Oh... Uh. I forgot to close the window.

Lil- Oh, you should've wake me up.

Chi- No, it's fine.

...

(Chi- Should I hide her identity? She's just a peasant like me before... I don't want her to be caught.)

...

*A couple of months later*

"Yan live inside the kingdom and had trained herself to be the princess' protector, she also changed her name to Yan... She had also rented a new house"

"While the others, Chi and the tyrant became closer and closer and Kei became jealous everytime she sees them two close to each one"

*At the tyrant's palace*

...

Joo- Are you hungry?

Chi- Yes father!

Joo- Minister Jung, bring food in my garden.

Minister Jung- Yes your majesty!

Joo- Let's go to the garden.

Chi- Yay!

...

*At the tyrant's garden*

"Chi and the tyrant enjoyed eating breakfast together"

...

(Minister Jung- Look how they're close now... The tyrant had just hating her a few months ago but look at them now. How adorable!)

...

Joo- How's your place going?

Chi- It's fine father! I have met a girl and she's like a kid!

Joo- A girl?

Chi- Yes.

Joo- Who is she?

Chi- I don't know her name yet but she promised to be my protector!

Joo- Protector?

...

(Joo- That girl must be an assassin or someone trying to harm my daughter... But she's just like a kid?)

...

Chi- Don't be angry father! She didn't mean to sneak inside my palace.

Joo- What!? She sneaked in?

Minister Jung- Oh! Your majesty! Are you alright!?

Joo- Shut up! I'm talking to my daughter.

...

(Minister Jung- Oh! He's just in a good mood but now he's in a bad mood!)

(Chi- Why is father angry?! Did I do something wrong?)

*Chi suddenly burst into tears*

...

Joo- Huh!?

Chi- Why are you mad at me!?

Joo- No... I'm not.

...

*The tyrant quickly comforted Chi*

(Minister Jung- Please, bless this child and protect her from death!)

...

Joo- Hush... It's not your fault.

Chi- Uh?

Joo- Wipe your tears...

Chi- Are you going to kill my friend?

Joo- No...

Chi- Promise?

Joo- I promise!

...

(Joo- I have to find that girl, how did she even sneaked in my property... There are guards everywhere, it's impossible for this girl.)

...

*A couple of days later*

"The princes had arrived to Wei Bing"

...

Lil- Good morning your majesty!

Chi- Huh? Why is it so early?

Kei- Father! I...

Servant 1- I'm so sorry your majesty!

Servant 2- We were just forced by the fourth princess!

Kei- Father!?

Joo- I've been too merciful for you.

Kei- W-what...

Servant 1- Wait, your majesty!

Servant 2- Please, spare us!

"The guards took Kei's servants away"

"The tyrant carried Chi and went inside to aid her"

(Kei- What is this!? Father just left me behind. He even ordered to kill my servants...)

Jangwu- Indeed.

Hoosui- You still look young, father.

Joo- Hey, you two.

...

"The tyrant pointed his fingers into Chi and her brother, Tin Ye"

Chi- Yes father?

Joo- Hm. Seventh prince, you changed a lot.

Tin- How come, father?

...

(Joo- This child...)

"As they celebrate, each siblings started to greet each one"

...

Hoosui- Hey there!

Chi- Oh!

Hoosui- I'm your second brother, how are you?

Chi- Second?

Hoosui- Your eyes looks so good!

Chi- Huh?

Kei- Hey!

Hoosui- What?

Kei- Why don't you talk to me!?

Hoosui- Who are you?

...

"Kei had raged her anger to the second prince and they run around like kids"

...

Chi- Oh?

...

"Suddenly, someone poked her behind"

"Eyes are blue, light blue earrings, and blue cloat"

"It's the seventh prince"

(Chi- She looks so scary... than my father.)

..

Tin- What's this little thing doing here?

Chi- B-brother...

...

(Tin- I'm not surprised, this girl had improved.)

...

Tin- What did you just call me?

Chi- Brother?

Tin- Don't call me with that any more, or else you will never speak aagin.

...

(Chi- Ack! So scary!)

(Tin- She's scared? It's so easy to scare a girl.)

...

Chi- If you don't want me to call you that... I can call you in other names.

Tin- No need, it will not last long.

Chi- Huh?

Tin- Nothing. Talk to you later, cutie!

...

(Chi- Even my own brothers are so scary like my father!)

...

"The event is finally over"

...

Chi- I'm so tired.

Lil- Your majesty, let's go home.

Chi- Right...

...

"They went home and rest"

*At Chi's palace*

(Chi- I'm bored! I want to go out!)

...

Chi- Lil?

Lil- Yes, your majesty?

Chi- Can we go out of this place?

Lil- Huh?

Chi- I mean, I missed the outside world! I want to go out of this place.

Lil- I'm sorry, your majesty. But we can't...

Chi- What? Why?

Lil- There are bad people outside, and they might hurt you. You're still a child, your father would be angry if you go out.

Chi- Not fair! I can just ask permission from him.

Lil- Your majesty! It's not that easy to. He will be mad.

Chi- Hmph!

Lil- Your just seven years old, he can't allow you to go out alone.

Chi- But. I am old enough!

Lil- You have to be old enough...

Chi- How old?

Lil- Probably... When you're ten.

Chi- What? I can't just wait until I turn ten!

Lil- But your majesty, your father will be mad if he knew that you escaped.

Chi- Fine. I won't.

...

(Chi- I'll just take matters on my own.)

"Later that day"

*Midnight*

...

Chi- Everyone should be asleep by now.

...

"Chi sneaked out of the place, even the guards have not noticed her because they're fast asleep"

...

Chi- Yes! I'm finally out.

...

"Chi walked around the streets"

(Chi- It's quite dark here. Why did I even went out of the night. I should've just stayed there, I'm scared...)

...

*At Yan's balcony*

...

Yan- It's nighttime again. How boring...

...

I'm all prepared after these past few months, I even hurt my face with a sword. And now, I have to wear a mask... This scar will go away soon.

...

"It turned out, Yan had accidentally cut her face with a sword and made a scar on her face"

"Yan had noticed the eight princess walking by"

...

Is that the eight princess? Why is she here.

...

Yan- I must follow her.

...

"Yan got down to her balcony and secretly followed the princess"

...

Chi- I'm so scared...

...

"Suddenly, some drunk guys came towards her and started teasing her"

...

Guy 1- Hey there cutie!

Guy 2- You must be delicious!

Chi- Ah! Who are you!?

Guy 3- Come with us...

...

"Yan had got in time and knocked them out"

(Chi- Huh!? Who's this...)

...

Yan- Are you alright, princess?

Chi- Your familiar...

Yan- I'm your protector. Don't you remember?

Chi- Oh! Yeah, I do.

Yan- Let's get you back to the palace.

Chi- Wait. Can we eat? I kinda like the food on that restaurant...

Yan- Sure.

Chi- Thank you!

...

"They got in a fish restaurant"

....

Chi- Wow! So many.

Yan- They are all for you.

Chi- Thank you!

Yan- By the way, how did you ended up here?

Chi- Oh... I escaped.

Yan- Didn't the guards around the palace noticed you?

Chi- No! They fell asleep.

Yan- But your father is probably going to get mad.

Chi- He will not, as long as I'm with you.

Yan- With me? Why?

Chi- Your my protector, I'm not scared of anything.

Yan- Is that so.

Chi- What's your name anyway?

Yan- I'm Yan.

Chi- Can I call you, Yan Yan? It's kinda cute!

Yan- Sure.

Chi- How old are you? You're so tall like my seventh brother!

Yan- Secret.

...

I don't even know how old this body I'm in...

...

Chi- Secret? Why?

Yan- Just nothing. How old are you anyway?

Chi- I'm seven.

Yan- Good.

...

She's nice.

...

Chi- Thank you for the food anyways!

Yan- Did you finish them all?

Chi- Yes!

Yan- How fast.

Chi- Can we go back home now?

Yan- Sure.

...

I'll have to escort her back to the palace.

...

Yan- Are you tired?

Chi- Yeah.

Yan- I'll get you back then.

...

*Chi had fallen asleep into Yan's arms*

"Yan carried Chi and escorted her back to her palace"

*At Chi's palace*

...

I'll just leave her into her bed.

...

*Next day*

...

Lil- Your majesty!

Chi- Huh!? What happened?

Lil- Your father is here to talk to you.

Chi- Oh no...

Lil- Did you do something wrong princess?

Joo- I'm coming in.

...

*The tyrant entered*

(Chi- What will I say!? Did he know about my plan last night?)

...

Joo- You can leave now.

Lil- Yes your majesty!
