Miss Ling Yue, did you notice anything?
Tanya put away the letter Ling Yue wrote. Ling Yue wrote a letter and asked Tanya to rush through the night to deliver it to her husband at Hilles city before she could even get in a al. Tanya didnt know what the letter was about, but Ling Yue was evidently treating it as an urgent matter. She was so rushed that she didnt even have ti to heat up the stamp and sealed it with her saliva, instead. She didnt write anything on the envelope either. Tanya didnt dare to read the contents.
Yes, Ive noticed lots of things, and Im aware of the unrest in the city. Im worried for my husband. He doesnt know that theres no longer anyone loyal to him in this palace; in other words, nobody in the palace has any respect for their King anymore. They touched my husbands stuff and took one his items.
What is it?
Im not sure; its probably a seal. My husband has one on him, maybe two, but Ive only seen it once. I saw it when he signed so docunts. At the ti, he signed the docunts at that desk. He then placed the seal in his drawer, but it was missing when I checked yesterday.
Is your mory that amazing?
Its not that I have an impressive mory, but because there was a certain part of the drawer that wasnt covered in dust. Technically, there was a thin layer. We foxes are very sensitive to our environnt. We notice even subtle changes. The maids said that nobody touched the drawer, but sothing was missing. Further, thats sothing a King uses to sign docunts. Its worth the dignity of a King. My husband only uses the seal when he cos back to this so-called free city, a city of sin where morals and laws have been dumped. Ive inford him that his seal was stolen in this letter.
Yes, Your Majesty, replied Tanya. However, it is too dangerous for you to stay here by yourself. My other duty is to protect you.
Its been just one short year. Tanya, have you noticed sothing different? I rember that you wanted to kill in the past, yet here you are now doing your utmost to protect . Tanya, I really want to be friends with you, but it seed impossible from the very beginning.
I need to protect and respect you for you are His Majestys wife. Additionally, from my perspective, you are different to the anthropoids that I once t. If anthropoids could be together with you, I would not have suffered those misfortunes.
All anthropoids are the sa as . Though there may be strange, bad and schers among us, we can all converse. Those who attacked you are what we call beasts. Ling Yue laughed. She gently wagged her tail and then scrubbed Tanyas head. With a smile, she commanded, Hurry and go. My husband and your Kings rule rides on this. Im certain it should be an important manner. I will remain here and find out where the seal is.
You must be more careful, then. If sothing befalls you, I really will have no ho to return to.
Tanya departed. Ling Yue then touched the face of Liu Yue, who was sleeping on the bed.
Ling Yue thought, My daughter looks so cute and innocent. Shes now my only treasure. The place were currently at is far from safe, though. The people in this palace are probably not the people who were present when I ca here last. The maids and guards have been switched. In essence, the people in the palace at this current ti are no longer those who served Troy. I now know their secret, which ans I could be exposed to danger at any given mont. The maids and guards could attack at any mont as they dont support or serve . Theyre loyal to so organisation that I have yet to identify.
This city is the so-called free city. Behind the light on the surface and the freedom in the past has given birth to far too much darkness. I cant see any freedom, beauty or liberation in this city. All I can see is a city of deceit, violence and manipulation from the shadows.
This city calls itself the free city; nevertheless, there is no supre power maintaining it, which ans sobody is manipulating the so-called freedom. This sort of freedom is nothing but endless tornt and slavery to the majority. Everybody pursues freedom. But alas, freedom always belongs to power.
Only with absolute power is there absolute freedom. Freedom can only be achieved by submitting to power. That is the purpose of a system. The fates of the ordinary folks in a nation thats split are all tragic, whereas Hilles Citys tramps are able to make it through life. Had it not been for the system Elizabeth implented, how could humanity firmly advance? Had my husband not united the North, it would be desolate now.
When she looked at the North as it stood, Ling Yue didnt doubt what she once did as being incorrect. Her husband may have killed lots of defenceless soldiers and beheaded an entire citys anthropoids, but it was a necessary part of establishing a system. It was a necessary step for her husband to control the North. Ling Yue knew it looked cruel. In saying that, only absolute power could provide absolute security and freedom. Ling Yue understood what sort of lives the anthropoids forrly led, which was why she was satisfied with Troys current approach.
Ling Yue had two choices: she could pretend to be oblivious to what happened and live out her days in peace, ignoring everything and taking responsibility for nothing. She, therefore, would remain safe until her husband returned if she chose. Nevertheless, that would give the thieves, who stole the seal, enough ti to erase their involvent and settle the matter.
They might have even returned the seal by the ti my husband arrives. Since the city no longer belongs to Troy, they should have him in the palm of their hands by now. If I investigate the matter, though, my daughter might end up in danger. Im not worried for myself, but Liu Yue still cant transform into a fox. In addition, I cant bring Liu Yue along with when I investigate it. Who can I trust, then? Though these guards served by my husbands side, could they oppose an entire city? Shall I prioritise my daughter or my husband? brooded Ling Yue.
Liu Yue rolled over, thereby cutting off Ling Yues train of thought. Ling Yue looked at her daughters sleeping face and took in a deep breath.
