Lady Xingcai said to herself: maybe the era of the second flame's Descendants on the throne is coming to an end, she looked at the monk with confidence then as she stood up and Left the Thorne she Walked toward him and said: the descendants of the first flame cao had refused the title of the blessed emperor but the fifth flame xiahuo's descendants did not however if my jîujiu(her mother's brother) couldn't take care of the current issues plaguing Lianhua,….
She and the monk walked together to the temple, at that Same time xinfeng was waiting the arrival of the chief monk of the temple to bestow the blessing of the divine sire upon her child
A Kalii servant apprched her with frightened steps as he heard of the first princess's reactions specially regarding her position as the imperial guard's commander it's always hold by the first born daughter or only the only daughter of the blessed emperor since the edict of blessed emperor Xiahou Zhen the founder when he arrived to where xinfeng was standing, he bowed before her but even in his bowing he was trembling, xinfeng as gently put her hand on the servant's shoulder then said to him: servant don't fear me today I am in good mood , at first the servant hesitated but he said to himself: you can do it they can't harm me here…he said to her with a bit of confidence as he felt some safety: My lady a few members of the imperial guard tried to start a rebellion but it was swiftly foiled by lady xingcai's interface , xinfeng was shocked since she thought that her cousin had took over her position she said to him while trying to calm and unphased: do tell and never forget anything important details as xinfeng was learning about what during her absence especially with the imperial guards a familiar voice echoed in the hall of the Divine altar of the temple followed by sound of footsteps it said: I knew you would return eventually, xinfeng surprised she said to herself: wouldn't this be... No way that's really her she looked at the source of the voice with suspicion and confusion the very possiblity of this person's survival was unthinkable
from the flickering shadow came a Kalii woman with the usual pointy ears and surprising a unique skin color a hue neither a dark purple or Pink skin color akin to the legendary hypird prince Karna , the servant couldn't stay as he couldn't believe it he got frightened and run off in a rush while shouting: a Raksha has appeared the end is near, xinfeng stood frim but her confusion was apparent in the way of her speech she asked: what in the divine sire's name you're doing here ,Shakti after she moved toward the statue of the divine sire and Bent the knee before it she replied with simple answer: our destines are interwined since our birth, princess before xinfeng asks her more questions,the chief monk entered the temple with three priestesses who specialize in the filed of casting blessings on the newborns regardless of their status the chief monk bowed before her but said in fearing tone: your grace I apology in advance but we can't Bless your child... he's
.. ..a.. xinfeng felt a huge disappointment she said to him in a angry tone: I don't care about his bastardry just Bless my child.. before she finished her talk the third princess wu'an entered the temple clapping her hands while a apparent smile drawn on her face she said in spiteful tone: you have finally shown your true colors, xinfeng I always knew that you're nothing but filthy whore just like her... Xinfeng replied with unbothered tone while approching her sister wu'an at the other side of the hall of the divine altar: don't forget sister that
...
without me your mother the low ranked concubine Ma changli couldn't reach the bedchamber of his Majesty ..then she slpaed her sister across the face wu'an's hatred toward her sister grow even more she looked at the chief monk with twisted smile like she knew that this will happen
Lu yinyue the jiangshi servant who was with the first princess xinfeng she came from the fallen clan of lu as her grandfather Lu bu alongside his children they were some of the generals who aided the traitor xiahou Tao in his infamous rebellion against his niece blessed empress pingguan her clan suffered and still suffering
even after the royal pardon that issued a year ago, as she picked up the child she felt a strange feeling when her eyes glanced at the child's eyes she muttered: by the divine sire what is the secret behind this child's strange appearance his eyes are very strange I had seen a child like before ,however I should take him to his mother as she walked through her way to the chamber of the first princess many of the kalii servants looked at her with disgust a one of them said: what a perfect fit a traitor's child cradling in her arms a bastard, yinyue almost cried but hold the tears Then said to herself: don't cry.. crying for the weak..
Before yinyue arrived to the chamber of the first princess she stopped when voice called her with friendly tone unlike the usual cruel tone that she hears from the Kalii servants and even some of the jiangshi servants however the voice called her : yinyue stop I want to see my nephew then she knew that the caller was none other than the handsome prince Sima Teng who is the second son of the blessed emperor's sons
She felt some relief for seeing him and hearing a friendly tone for change
The second prince said to her while looking at his newly born nephew: so did you know anything about the father of this child
Yinyue thought to herself before answering: my mistress told me in confident about him while preparing the child i tell anyone about it
She replied while moving toward the chamber: sorry your grace you know that the princess hates delay
At the midnight beneath the moonlight it was shining at the windows of the chamber xinfeng remained awake too drowning in herself thoughts too heavy for sleep she looked at her child lay peacefully in his cradle his skin glowing faintly she said to him as if he was able to speak:
Dear child I will never let my father reject you he's unlike that other grandfather of yours the divine sire's blood runs in your veins, the child he stirred his small eyes— beautiful diamond blue eyes opened fixing on his mother with intensity so far beyond his age
Then to her horror he a word escaped his lips a —fragile foreign and terrifying
... Nia..'trakai
Xinfeng gasped her hearts begun skiping a beat she said to herself: no no not yet he will be discovered I must do something about this she called her loyal servant: yinyue come quickly I need your with important matter
