"Miss ?" Zin stared at the little girl who kept eating bowls after bowls of rice...she didn't even lift her head ....

'Miss is defying logic... how can she be so small while eating this much...'

"Third miss,Master Sen said 'Come to the hall room immediately' "

A maid's voice passed through the closed door..

"Ok..." Thider said after finishing her twentieth bowl of soup...

"Miss?" Yin probbed her young miss... She's been acting out of rhythm lately...

"Let's go ! " Thider said as she grabbed an apple and made her way to the door.... Zin and Yin held her back...

"Miss,you really shouldn't go out like this!"

"Go out like what?"Thider took a bite from the apple and scratched her head.."Come on,let's go see what's he up to ...and come back to sleep..." I still have a lot of things to do!

'like what?! ' Zin and Yin looked at the messy hair on their miss' head .. her messy night gown... her greasy lips... and thought how the world would react if they let this ancestor go out in this get-up....

This is simply a nightmare!

"What's up with your faces?" Thider tilted her head and bite another chunk off the fruit...

Thinking how her dear friends had lost their wits...

....

.....

...

"Why is she not here yet?"

Pa Pa Sen frowned as he asked this question for the nth time...this morning...

The hall room is very quiet even though it was filled with people...

Sen Ye Aye watched out for the entrance... looking for a glimpse of the dear sister she hadn't met for quite awhile.. ..

Fourth mistress felt uneasy under this pressure... She had been quiet since the day ,the two unfortunate women died.... she held the baby in her arms a little more tightly.... 'Fortunately, you are a girl.... but I still have to be careful'

She glanced at the beautiful woman in front of her...

Fifth mistress is currently in favour of the lord...and she is already at the fifth moon stage... her child would be a genius

but that person still cannot be compare to the late Madem....

After all, Madem was a heroine..

from the upper relam...

"The Third miss has arrived.."

Someone announced her arrival..

'Really? Do you have to do things like that?' Thider muttered as she sensed the crowd in the hall and 'looked' into her father's eyes... not that she could see them...

After all,it would be about five or so years before she can see in the outside world in a normal way...

Right now ,her view of the world is like ...energy waves forming figures and gestures... It takes a lot of concentration to see clearly.. But the adventages are also numerous... Thider could sense things from afar and for now,she could sense the whole manor of the Sen family...

The hall room ,the people in it .. the hidden guards..,the mistresses and treasures,books,

living things ...in this manor ,no one can hide things from her .

She can detect a person's emotion state even without meeting him..

Now,she knows that PaPa Sen is very,very angry with her and there are some conflict in his heart...

'I'll become a monster if I prob further into this matter..'

"Father,what's the matter with all these people?" Are you planning. for a 'punishing by the family rules' scene?

'Don't be such a paranoia , 'Philia scolded the rebellious kid....

#sigh#'What did those clones tell her about?This kid is getting touchy... Is it because her meal was disturbed.. .? '

Philia thought about the expression on her face when she heard that maid's voice while she was eating.... It was very scary...

"You don't even greet me!?"PaPaSen slammed the table which crumpled down into dust...

Everyone turned silent,...

except one.

"That's a two hundreds of gold ,you just wasted,Father... It's seem you are not in a good mood."

Thider said as she took the apple in a nearby basket of fruits...

"Sometimes ,destroying things to relief your anger is a good thing as you can't bottle the emotions up .But if this continue, you'll be branded as unreasonable by the public opinion.. . not that I care.."

Everyone took a sharp breath..

'What's up with this miss?!Isn't she very quiet and cool before?!'

Pa Pa Sen went livid but the daring fifth mistress patted his arm...soothing him..

Pa Pa Sen took a deep breath and reminded himself that this was a nine years old... well,almost ten...perhaps.. and his daughter. .It's not a thing an elder should do to pick on every little things with her.

"Now that everyone is here... "

PaPaSen coughed and announced

"His majesty,the emperor,had arranged a marriage for me."

Everyone frozed at the sudden news .The fourth mistress almost lost her grip on her baby while the fifth mistress held her hands back from the man's arm staring at himin disbelief...As for the seventh mistress,she didn't lose her composure but the cup in her hand has long cracked...

Ye Aye's face turned white.... as it hasn't been that long since her mother's death...And she looked at her dear sister ... for ,this was the only one who she could rely on apart from her eldest sister.

"She is the princess from the Neighbouring kingdom...and she'll be bringing her daughter here...and the wedding ceremo...."

#Cough# #Cough# #Cough#

Thider choked on her apple disturbing PaPaSen's speech....Zin patted her back while Yin poured a cup of tea for her but Thider ignored them..

"What did you say!?"

The hall room's temperature dropped by several degrees...causing the people to shiver slightly... as for Pa Pa Sen,he felt that he simply couldn't breathe under this massive ruthless aura.. but it disappeared in an instant.

He looked at the tiny figure in front of him. 'She had long suppressed me,the seventh moon stage cultivator'

Everyone turned to look at the little girl whose face showed none of her emotions and shivered ..

'Third miss had changed'

The gentle and easy-going

expression that recently appeared

on her beautiful little face has gone.The her right now looked like a lost monster...

Anger,Grief,Recentment,Cold and savageness .....

Thider suppressed her negative emotions from lashing out to hurt people...she could only let her heart seal these things just like she did two years ago..

She retracted her sensing till she couldn't sense a thing.. She didn't want to see or sense anything now.

"Father,does the emperor has some plan regarding our family?

After all,marriage with the neighbouring kingdom ,can be done with ..".

'no,a widowed princess must be too old to get married with the princes...and the emperor must not be willing to let his brother marry this princess least he wants a rebel.... ' Thider muttered.

"with the other offic...." Damn,the other official 'worthy' enough to marry another country's royal princess is the prime minister and he already has an official wife while Father currently don't have one. I should have known!

For a selfish wish of not wanting to call other women 'mother',I didn't let him promote the mistresses... Now,I'm done... I can't protect my sisters if I leave... wait,why should I leave?! I am the host of this place.! Should I,the daughter of the former heroine,run because of a woman...?...

But on second thoughts,it would be too troublesome if this princess has some ulterior motives.. ..

"Anyway,Father .You can marry whoever you like.. .. It's not like they last anyway... Why are you telling us about this? We can't deny an imperial order.Do you want us to congratulate you? Some wedding gifts perhaps? Or do you want us to welcome that princess?..."

'One of these days,I'm gonna beat that whatever emperor up so badly that his own mother won't remember when she sees him! And that neighbouring kingdom's ruler is dead meat! Ho ho ho,wait for me to beat you guys,damn bastards! My peaceful life is going to end!'

Thider's change of tone made others flustered... especially her father.

'I thought this girl's going to make a scene...'

"Ahem,as I was saying" The confused man glanced at his now smiling daughter and felt that something bad is going to happen..

He placed that thought at the back of his mind..

"There will be a banquet to welcome the princess... and the emperor wants someone from the Sen family there... "

"You will be there,isn't that enough?" Thider felt that she should really get herself stronger just to strom into the palace and beat the mad man into a pulp.

'What do you want?making a motherless child go and greet her stepmother and stepsister?! '

Thider grinded her teeth.

"So,you want me to come along with you ...." She released her spiritual sense to focus on the man,while 'staring' straight at him.

"Good,very good.Eldest sister is not here... Little Ye is too young,my brothers are busy and as for my second sister,you must have long forgotten about her... including her life and death... And I am the most suitable among the unsuitable candidates ... but I myself ,has been quite 'disappointing ' with loads of nasty rumors outside .So,you want me to behave to give you face,is that it ,Father?"

Thider stared while sensing the astonishment in his heart and the surrounding people...

She smiled.

That smile was very saddening...

"So,when will they arrive,Father?"

...
