25 Abducted

When I learned that the beautiful orchard was the emperor's favorite place I have stopped going there and continue being a hermit crab inside the courtyard that have given to me and I have been thinking of the festival that is near. I wonder if it will really be fun to go to a festival. I have never once go into one and I'm really excited to attend and I'm sure Min er will let me.

"My lady you seems to be excited about the upcoming festival" I happily nod. I have really want to attend a festival since the atmosphere is always lively and it's been of my dream. 

"Min er how does the fireworks looks like in the plum blossom gardens I'm sure they are dreamy" I always see the fireworks inside my room in the Du empire but because of the buildings I don't see them well and they also said that it looks really beautiful when you watch it while under the plum blossoms.

"My lady have you never attended one in the Su empire?" I don't know how I should tell her that the tradition in my country. Basically I'm the most insignificant person in the palace so if I ask for my father's permission I'm sure she will just ignore me so I didn't have the courage to tell him. 

"I… indeed I have never attended one Min er but I really want to attend one will you help me get the permission to leave for the festival?" Even though the emperor is not present in the country he have so many trusted aids that can make decisions for him but I'm not sure if they will let us go.

Come to think of it Min er has taken me out from here when we we're bored and she don't get any permission for that thankfully no-one punish us though someone important saw us. 

"Hmm my lady I think the person we can take the permission for it will be the Jin Wangye since he is the brother of the emperor and he really trust him more than anyone" What!? Then we really did commit a very grave crime that was spotted. Hopefully he didn't punish us for leaving the castle without any notice. 

"My lady do you want me to go and ask for your permission?" I still feel unease but I just nod at her. 

...…

I can't believe that the wangye really let us attend this lively festival. Just as I imagine it's so lively. There are so many people happily enjoying and having fun. Every stalls looks beautiful and some of the food stalls sells foods that really looks delicious. I'm so happy that I can't believe that I can attend this kind of thing. 

"My let's try those stalls it looks fun" I nod at her and follow but somehow I feel unease because I think someone is watching me from somewhere but when I look at the direction there's no one. 

I was about to follow Min er when someone suddenly carry me. It was so sudden that before I realise I have been dragged to a dark alley. 

A Suivre…
