CHAPTER 3

 "So my princess, did you find the trespasser?" King Chen asked, while the royal family of three dined,"And hope you tore him apart?

     Sisou really wanted to avoid the question, but she had to reply her father. She hesitated for a while before replying,"He ran away" she munched the mukbang cheese piled up in her mouth.

    "You see? Stubbornness! You couldn't even catch him, you saw him ran away and you freezed!"Her father snapped,"Tsk!'

     Queen Momo had been silently watching her husband and Sisou.

Sisou whispered,"I didn't even saw him...I think the rabbit was actually him! Haha!"

   "And you were lucky he didn't tried killing you!"King Chen pointed at Sisou,"You keep calling yourself a Shaolin warrior but I never saw that in you."

  Sisou glanced at her father in dismay. "What?" She looked at her chopsticks and squeezed them in her hands tightly, fuming in anger. Her stomach was already filled with anger, depression, anxiety and a crave to kill the forest trespasser.

  She whispered,"Only God of Fangyi knows what would eventually happen to that trespasser,if I can find him! I'll kill him and feed his body to the hungry vultures in the forest! Who does he think he's?A Shaolin warrior?Or a Martial art God? Tsk! I'll still try finding him.The game's not over, after all! "

Sisou frowned at the sauteed rice before her,

"He's just made me small before the palace and the people of Fangyi State... I wish I can find him "

     "My dear, you are not eating. You don't like the sauteed rice and soysauce?" Queen Momo asked Sisou.

    Sisou looked up at her mother,"The food's okay."

   "Then eat!" Her father snapped.

  Sisou glanced at her father,"I think I'm done eating, father! I need some rest!"

She said and left to her room hastily, slamming the door loudly. She collapsed on her bed and stared at the ceiling.

"God of Fangyi why can't I just get that freak and punish him? I need to screw him up. Father thinks I'm weak. I want to make him remember that I once won the Shaolin competition award and no born by a woman can pull me down,as far as I live!' Sisou thought aloud.

   She sighed and slipped from the bed to the window. She outlooked the town of Fangyi filled with people . "Fangyi is just a big place. I need to visit our people..."

...****************...

    Dressed in an amber beautifully silted silky gown, Sisou majestically walked through a pathed way made by the villagers who all got their attentions on her. Silence suddenly grew.

 Children ran towards her in delight,"Princess Sisou! Princess Sisou!"

    The villagers all bowed before her, politely.

 She cleared her throat and smiled before them,"It's a good thing that our town is developing, isn't?"

   "It is, Princess Sisou!"They said in unison.

She grinned,"Good. We all need to be hardworking so Fangyi does not fall into famine."

 "Yes, princess Sisou!"

"And..."

Someone suddenly ran towards her,"My princess,my princess!"

Sisou widened her eyes before the villager,who looked worried,"What's the problem?"

   "My princess,some group of bandits are around. They're not far away from us. "The villager said.

"I want everyone into their houses!" Princess Sisou ordered.

  The villagers all ran into their cottage,in fear.

"My princess don't we need to call on our soldiers?"The villager asked.

 Sisou smiled,"Get into your house. I'm more than a million soldiers!"

The villager obediently left.

      Only Sisou stood amidst the cottages, folding her fists."Good thing I came to the village. Many would have been hurt."

   Looking up, Sisou saw about thirty strangers before her who are all well-armed.

She stood confidently and saw them like little puppets about to dance.

 "Ok puppets, what the hell brought y'all to Fangyi State? " She said.

   "How can a petite figure just confront us? " One of the bandits asked others ironically.

     They guffawed loudly.

"A beautiful lady with a stupid confidence!"One of them pointed at Sisou.

  "I'm Princess Sisou of Fangyi State, and I own this province after my father, King Chen of Fangyi State.And so, no stranger has the right to dare tresspass!"Sisou boldly said.

"What's she spitting out?"One of them asked the others.

They guffawed, again.

"It seems like you have gone bananas, you freaky little thing!" Another snapped at her.

"Well, let's see..."She whispered softly,"If I have really gone bananas!"She said, already in Shaolin stance.

The bandits glanced at each other and laughed,"What's she doing?"

They glanced back at her and scampered towards her for a fight.

She dodged their punches and hit mightily and confronted them again distinctly. Then one by one they ran before her but she knocked them down with the most powerful fist defense. They all laid helplessly and some ran away.

"Now I want the all of you to leave Fangyi State without a plan of coming back!"She pointed at them.

"Okay, Princess Sisou of Fangyi State!"They scampered away, without a lookback.

Sisou sighed,"Stupid folks everywhere!"

With time,most of her people left their cottages and everywhere was soon crowded.

They bowed before her.

A teenager ran and knelt before her, yanking the hem of Sisou's dress"My princess, I wanna be like you!"

Sisou grinned."You'll be"

The little girl smiled,"Thank you, princess Sisou."

"You're welcome, sweetie"

Then the girl left.

Sisou looked up at her people and grinned again.

Shouts of joy hurled into the air.

"There's nothing better than making your own people feel secured and home... but sometimes, it costs a lot to be protective of them. You have to sacrifice and waste energy just to make them happy, because they're possibly the future awaiting Fangyi..."
