Appearing behind one of the guards without being noticed, JiaYing quietly and skillfully slit his throat with her pocket knife. A shadow guard saw her, smirking behind his mask, he raised his sword to stab her from behind, sensing something coming her way she dodged it swiftly, making the sword hit the tree.
Out of nowhere, many shadow guards appeared, making her curse her luck, she didn't see them at all, she only saw the four guards.
looking for a way to escape, JiaYing moves back to the main road with the shadow guards on her track.
Catching her off guard, a person wearing a fox mask emerged from the fog, making her slam into him which made it easy for him to hold both her hands up and taking her knife from her.
"Children aren't allowed to play with knives." He stated amused, pushing her into one of the shadow guards arms.
"The mission is over!" The man announced making the fog disappear
Seeing the girl pained face, made him feel disgusted with her.
He doesn't know the young prince, but he heard about him, and it was nothing good, He wasn't fitted to be the crown prince, that's why he got sent here to kill him.
Two guards and the person with a crossbow came bowing,
"The Prince is dead." They exclaimed confirming JiaYing suspicious making her tears fall.
"No! you are lying!" She kicked the person near her, freeing herself to look for her prince
Speeding off, one of the shadow guards wanted to follow her, but he got stopped by the man.
"Kill her!" he ordered the person with a crossbow, making him take his aim and release an arrow after another which pierced her back, shoulder and heart.
Getting hit by the arrows, she stopped walking throwing up blood,
"My prin...cess! my po...or pri...ncess! I know yo...u are a...live! you mu...st be." She whispered
" I won't be by y...our si...de, plea...se for...give..." she said taking her last breath
Erasing the evidence, they burned the corps and pushed the carriage into the valley, to make it seem like an accident then left the place.
Back to Mimi and Zheng Lu, they kept chatting like they were old friends, insulting each other and being cool about it, in the middle of discussing the art of ignorance and naivety, JiaYing soul appeared near Zheng Lu, making her hyper as hell.
"JiaYing!" Zheng Lu surprisingly embraced her old friend JiaYing
"Where I am I? is this heaven?" She asked in a daze
"No! you are in the mirror of Mimi."Zheng Lu told her
"You are dead?" JiaYing was surprised
"Yeah since a few days ago." Zheng Lu said
"how?" she whispered
" Well, I can start," Mimi said
"Who are you?" JiaYing whispered again
"She doesn't sound like JiaYing at all!" Mimi whispered to Zheng Lu to hear
" Yeah, True!" Zheng Lu agreed
"Both of you stop whispering!" She shouted
"She is back!" both Mimi and Jiaying amused
"Just, tell me everything," she sighed
Mimi told her story first, making her dead friends feel sorry for her.
" You are in a worst situation now, you need to get stronger, live peacefully with a new identity," JiaYing said after a lot of thinking
"I know, but I am dying now, I might stay here with you," Mimi replied to her
"You will survive! I am sure of it!" Zheng Lu assured he
