Meanwhile Lory is soaking in a wooden bathtub without notice the ruckus had happened outside, just as it used to she was alone in the bathroom, after awhile she raised from the tub then she dries herself with clean towel, Girsha was doze off in the stool not far from her while Lory seems contemplating about something then she takes a hand mirror and walk to human sizes mirror on the wall, she shifts her hair to the side then using the hand mirror to reflect something behind her nape.
[It's still there…] said girsha abruptly.
Lory sigh, there's a small black snake tattoo under her nape from the appearance the tattoo is small like a worm but when it reacted the tattoo would become larger like phyton then it moves slithering around her body like a living real snake it's a manifestation of Lazarus curse, a snake who would devour her soul.
But something inside her body suppressed the curse with exception she can't use too much her power, the last time he almost devoured by her curse is when she save Zhao Li Xin life after that she didn't dare to use her 'Gift' like that again , she feared she won't be lucky anymore, when Lazarus devour her soul his power would return and then the whole world would be in danger and not just this world perhaps every other world would be in danger.
[When we got all Trinity fragments, I can break the cursed…..but then what?] Lory put down the hand mirror on the table, she pulled a clean robe over her shoulder [There should be a catch isn't it…]
[Who knew?] Girsha leaps into Lory's shoulder [Whatever happened, we do what we do know best….]
Lory smiles grew wider [We're Fight!]
[Yes, we are!] Girsha's eyes glint with resolute.
Lory stifles, he is right she should not be bothered by something unknown it's better to prepare for whatever happened in the future, isn't she always like that. Lory put more layer robes to cover herself then she needs to return to her room to change to appropriated dress, is a hassle when bathroom and bedroom is not in the same room but this is how it is in this world some noble lady make the servant to bring the bathtub to their toom when they got bath but for Lory is ineffective and annoying.
[I'm glad the maid who changes me once didn't saw my marls…] Lory remembers after what happened on the hot spring, the maid suddenly undressed her and changed her clothes.
[They don't have time, when your Boyfriend waiting anxiously outside, is like a speed changed I saw once in tv] Girsha laugh.
[Yeah….thank God for that] Lory heaved.
"HEY, WHO ARE YOU!!"
Lory jolted from surprised, someone shouted at her it's never happened especially in Zhao Li Xin turf who dare to be impolite to her or stupidly bullied her even if Lory would kind enough to forgive their mistake but that's not the same with Zhao Li Xin, that's why Lory never been escorted by anyone beside she didn't want to, she is the only one other than Zhao Li Xin who can roam around aimlessly inside the residence like a wild cat so now she is very much surprised.
"Me?" Lory pointing to herself while still in shocked.
"Yes, it is you! Are you stupid!" the one who is shouting is a fourteen years old girl with pinks hanfu and beautiful intricate hairstyles adorn with a golden hairpin, she remained Lory with Min Ru Yi a bit, the girl is followed by two beautiful maids.
"Uhm, I live here…by the way who are you?" her haughty expression annoyed Lory quite a bit but this is still Zhao Li Xin's house so she needs to be polite.
"Hump, you must be a new maid here" she scoffed at Lory "Why you dress like that, are you here to seduce Milord! Get over yourself, Milord already have fiancée!" she rested her arms on her small waist.
'I know it's me…' Lory tilted her head.
The girls see no reaction from Lory she though Lory didn't believe her, suddenly she fumed with anger "You don't believe me? Milord fiancée is Tang Mei Yi, she is the disciple of Master Lu Yao from Xianqing Mountain, if you still care for your life you must stop your useless dream with the Lord!!"
[So stupid, I'm off…] Girsha flew away, he might gauge that girl's eyes if he still here. Since the girl is harmless Lory can take care of herself, and afterall the shadow guard is watching.
The girl saw a beautiful bird with a golden long tail flew away, her eyes glimmered with envy "Is that your bird?" she suddenly asked, Lory, didn't have time to answers the girl cut her off "Give it to me! It's a waste for a servant like you to have that kinda bird, give it to me and I will give the Lord a nice word about you!"
Lory massage her aching temple "Can you tell me at least, who the hell are you?" Lory can't help but cursed that rude girl. A weird girl comes out of nowhere, shouting at her, warned her about her owned fiancée, and wants to robe her friend, her hand is itchy to give a beating for this unknows girl.
"How Dare you talk like that to me do you know my brother is the King Palace! I will make him punish you!" she shouts even louder, her eyes are brimmed with anger she feel humiliated by this 'Servant', she never once suspicious about Lory identity because Lory walks around without maids following her and her appearance is just so-so not striking beauty like Tang Mei Yi so she assured Lory just a simple maid.
Lory still not reacted not because she wants to provoke her but because she still pondering which King palace who has this wild child as a sister, she's worry this kinda girl would accidentally irk Zhao Li Xin and implicated her owned Brother. But the girl thought Lory wants to challenge her authority, as a King palace Sister everyone always treats her with the utmost respect and painstakingly tries to gain her favor, this is the first time someone dares opposed her.
"Both of you, hold her hands for me!" she orders her maid "I need to give a lesson to this impudent servants" she smirked at Lory.
"Yes, Mistress!" The maid's answers simultaneously.
Lory prepares for a maid who tries to reach her arms, there's no way she would let anyone touch her but a second later she suddenly hears the sound of bones cracking then followed by a deafening scream.
Both of the maids fall on the floor while both their hands twisted unnaturally.
In front of her Mong Ki and Mong Yi shielding her, then Mong Yi takes a long stride toward the girl who still shocked by what happened then he raised his hand he slapped the young girl until she falls on the ground.
The girl probably faint for a second or she just shocked because for a minuted she didn't move, Mong Yi face remain indifferent, the girl then slowly move she cover her swollen left cheek.
"Bro….Brother Mong Ki, why are you hit me?" she sobbed.
"Miss Jiang, this is not the place you can come and go, you can enter this place without permission" Mong Yi expression is nothing like Lory ever seen, his face is stern and cold "You even have the audacity to scream and bullied Miss Lao, slapping your face is just light punishment compare what Milord would do for you"
The girl name is Jiang An Yi, Jiang Jin Wei step-sister also have close relationship with Tang Mei Yi, she heard from Tang Mei Yi that Zhao Li Xin have a changed of heart because of other women, when she saw her benefactor cry pitifully she become furious so she came to Zhao Li Xin Villa to warned whoever woman is, but she doesn't know who is that woman or who is she name is, when she roamed around the villa she accidentally met Lory, without knowing her identity she just vent her accumulated anger, but who knew she just met the one she looking for.
"Who is she, Isn't she just a maid? Jiang An Yi glare at Lory.
"Talk like that again and will give you another slapped" Mong Yi warned her with a serious face.
"She is the Lord fiancée, kowtow for forgiveness in front of Miss Luo if you still want to live" Mong Ki irked by the young woman stupidity, he can only imagine what would happen to Jiang Jin Wei when the news reaches to their Lord.
"So, she is the one who snatched Milord from Miss Tang!" she pointing her hand at Lory "She seduces our lord to left Miss Tang, she is a vixen how can you let a woman like this get close to our Lord!" she stomps her feet on the ground while accusing them neglecting their jobs.
Lory sigh, how stupid this woman can be can she learned something about discreet, this little girl just mocked their Lord intelligent and there worked as subordinated, how could they not furious just like Lory thought she heard another bone-breaking and another scream is followed, Lory rubbed her forehead helplessly while Jiang An Yi finger twisted in a weird and scary way.
She sprawls on the ground holding her finger screaming with agony, everything happened so fast Lory didn't have time to interfere not like want to, this is Hei Shen sect internal problem she knew there must be curtained rule to keep the sect in order but this brazen girl is not just mocked her but she also mocked the Mong's brother that's why Lory cannot interfere if she is she would disrespect Mong Ki and Mong Yi.
"I'm The Gold Lion King Palace sister, you all just a shadow guard you can't treat me like this!" Jiang An Yi still not understand what she had done wrong she persists she done nothing wrong.
Mong Yi sneered "Is that what your brother told you?" this time Mong Yi anger is personal "All subordinated is stand equal, we all submitted under the Lord order, no one is higher or lower than another, we are shadow guard only follow our Lord we give respect to the King because they are useful for our Lord, do you think I will low my head down in front of the King?"
Jiang An Yi heart racing from fear, the one who tough her, of course, is not her Brother but tang mei Yi and her close subordinated, Shadow guard didn't have a Palace like any other King's so she though their position is lowest than the King's Palace, but she's wrong the truth is shadow guard is the closest subordinated Zhao Li Xin had.
Mong Ki chuckles "Your brother can't even teach his owned Sister, I wonder can he lead the Lord Army?"
"My feeling is the same" Mong Yi can agree more.
Lory looks at the interchanged conversation between Mong Yi and Mong Ki.
'Is someone is going to get FIRED?!'
