Chapter Title: Waking Up to Something Different (4)

Chapter no. 45

(Second Princess Wang Roushi's POV)

There are times when I feel so alone. I feel complete emptiness, yet I try my best to divert my attention and take my mind away from thinking that I really am. As a princess I grew up in the palace with heavy burdens and dire responsibilities; a woman of noble birth, a dutiful daughter and a promising leader. High expectations, numerous standards of societal rules to strictly follow, proper etiquette and posture, governmental affairs that needs my ideals and tons of other things. I feel deeply suffocated. I feel caged in a life I have never wanted to. And exhausted in living what the norms expect me to do. Where will I seek freedom?

Can somebody hear me out there?

I feel incredibly isolated.

I feel like an outcast, instead of a princess.

I feel trapped.

But not until I wandered the manor of Qin's clan and met someone so inspiring that it kept me hooked up whenever she speaks nor she moves. Qin Zetian, I'll always remember her name whenever I try to close my eyes. She is a lady of a different kind, riding her journey to success and inspiring me to be the same. To follow my desires and go against the tides. But I'm still learning from her, I'm not that brave. For weeks of spending time with her I finally found a new meaning to the word 'friend'. A friend is not just an acquaintance or a companion, a friend is a sister from a different family and I get that.

She is like an older sister to me.

She is my one true friend.

And she taught me how to be an upright woman, who helps the needy and changes people.

But right now all I could think of is worry for her safety. We arrived safely at the manor, but she chose to stay there for some odd reasons. But I got her message, something bad will happen if we don't go home. But it doesn't justify the fact that she's not yet back, what if she encountered assassination?

"Big sister Ruru, will we see big sister Zeze again?" the eyes of a child speak of her sadness, then tears fall from her eyes. I hugged her tightly, I too am afraid that she'd be gone for long.

"Yes Weiwei, we will see Zeze soon. Come, let's get inside the manor and explain everything okay. Let's not warrant unnecessary problems, so help me keep Zeze safe" Weishen nodded

We entered and explained everything, after that I helped Weishen back to Zeze's courtyard. I need to leave secretly and meet with my brothers, and for some reasons I know they are the only people who can help me through.

When everyone fell asleep I used martial arts to get myself out of the manor. The lock down was even tighter than I thought so it took me awhile before I escaped. I might be secretly proficient in martial arts but I am in not a match to Zeze, so rescuing her alone is impossible for me to accomplish.

Meanwhile, I rode a horse and arrived at my brother's residence shortly.

"Brother! You need to help me" I shouted

"Why is little piglet princess here?" Shaoxi, which for the first time did not irritate me when he said that

"Rou what's the problem?"

"Brother, Zeze is missing and I do not want to alert the manor because she told me to do so. Brother we need to find her! You need to help me find her. She's my only friend, how miserable will my life be without her?"

"What exactly happened?" my older brother Ximen asked as he adjusted the spectacles on his face

"We were on our way when she suddenly sensed something, I didn't even notice it. But then the wind turned crazy and the forest became so creepy. Out of nowhere she awaken Weishen and she handed us thick cloaks. She even smiled and said we might get cold so she asked for us to wear them.

Then she prepared the sword on her waist and even tightened her own cloak. Not long after that she called for the captain of the soldiers. She called out the right prime minister's legendary horse Maximus, I don't know how she did it but the horse seemed to be there whenever she calls it. Then she shifted her body and jumped on the horse."

"You mean to say her intentions were unclear? She left on her own which is interesting" Brother Ximen said

"If she sensed danger then it is likely that she will retaliate back at the intruders. However she have you and the fourth miss of the manor, so it is possible that she lets everyone escape and sacrifice herself to stop them." Brother Yuanzhen

"Which part of the mountain road did she stopped?" Finally eldest brother asked

"I can take you there" I said, because even I cannot remember the name of that road

"Zhao Yang prepare the horses, this isn't a simple matter. We need to be careful when we arrive there. Ximen, protect Rou'er at all cost we won't know if they left some people to guard or clean the area of the crime scene"

For the last two years I never would have thought that I'll be able to hold and use my sword again.

Just wait for me Zeze, I'll come to save you, I don't care whichever world you went to.
