Just past Lucy's first birthday, two events changed the course of her life . Lucy wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry as she faced them .
AdvertisementAs Lucy carefully placed the block on the tower and leaned down to grab the next one a burst of pain slammed into her mind, as bright white light flared . "Eee!" Lucy cries, falling, her block tower tumbling over as her mind overflows with bright minds .
Little Mistress is such a clever child . Oh no, the little mistress fell . The Third Miss is so picky, damned child . How many times will she make us clean this floor and table? I want to break her finger every time she points and says dirty . If I can't get this spot of Concubine Meng's sash, Miss Edith will scold me . I need to check our stock of herbs, so we don't run out when the Third Miss falls sick again . Lord Husband is coming tomorrow night . I must prepare my best clothes so he's pleased with me, and Lucy .
Lucy whimpers in Miss Selena's embrace, as she felt worry, anger, fear, hope, and happiness . What's wrong with the little mistress? Physician Lu . Third Miss is ill again . The Prince will have our heads . Quick run . It's okay, little mistress . Don't be scared, I Rimes Selena will accompany you wherever you land .
Shield . I need to shield . Forcing herself to ignore the rush of thoughts, and emotions Lucy draws a veil of misty pure energy over her mind . It all vanishes leaving her mind empty like a blank sheet of paper . Lucy breathes slowly, suddenly aware Miss Selena was rocking her gently . For a girl only 14 years old, she seemed very much like a mother concerned over her baby's pain . Lucy pats Selena's face gently . "Little Mistress" Miss Selena says tearfully . "Your awake" Miss Selena hugged her closer . "Sleepy" Lucy says softly . This girl kept by Lucy every minute, changing her diaper, cleaning up Lucy's messes, sang her to sleep, and cuddled her, kissing her scrapes when Lucy fell . To Lucy, this girl was her second mother .
Selena laid Lucy on her bed, kneeling down rubbing Lucy's arms . "Sleep, Little Mistress . I am here . " Lucy relaxed, soothed by her touch and closes her eyes . My bane is back . I need to build strong shields . Misted energy won't last long . As Lucy entered her Center Palace to create new soul shields, she wasn't aware that a troop of men was riding for Jing Palace to change her fate .
Plagued by other's feelings, thoughts, and futures in my past life . I avoided trickery and deceit, but loneliness companied me as the petty thoughts, and insincere wishes washed over the young me . Only in the new year of my 20th year did I learn to fully block others out . How hateful . How pitiful . I died with only three years of silence .
Lucy directs pure energy from her Inner sky to her Center palace, creating the Heart & Soul Shield . As Lucy lays the base and interwove energies together, she muses . Practice does indeed make perfect . In her first life, despite being passed the Heart & Soul shield she wielded it clumsily, to the point of shaming herself . She had been forced to scrap her foundation and start over twice as she had made mistakes . More times she had to remold the upper tiers of the Heart & Soul shield to perfect it . Now as a 1-year-old baby my soul is stronger and purer, and my shield is coming together with ease . I guess this is the whims of fate .
