Chapter 44 - Why Am I Here Again?

Drizella, "What does your marriage have to do with the attack?"

Jasmine search her bookshelf and pulled out a map. She spread it on the table and pointed with her pointing finger, "The country to the East of us called Kultan is a rich country. Their riches come from their sea trade. The Desert Empire, as everyone knows is mostly deserts and is always hot. There is also the war and fight as the neighboring territories. Father wants their technology and information to make the Desert Empire prosper more. Also, as a partner against the other territories. This princess was chosen as the marriage partner for the prince. However, there are people who doesn't like the idea of it."

Jasmine sigh with a hint of anger mixed in, "I don't mind...but...the prince... Prince Aladdin isn't my type of man!"

Drizella carefully scroll the portrait Jasmine brought along with the map. A single glance at it, Drizella knows why Jasmine complained so.

The person in the portrait is a young fat kid. His whole appearance is like those smug-looking fat king you see in cartoon and comics. Who likes to abuse their authorities and keep lots of slaves.

There are facial features that indicate the kid's good mark. If he were to lose all those fats and that cocky attitude, he would definitely match Jasmine. She is a thousand percent sure of that!!!

...

In his hand was a recording device and on the device that kept repeating was the silhouette of a girl playing a bamboo flute. He kept playing it over and over again as the image of the girl's crying appear in his mind.

The men behind him didn't dare to speak up. They know their place more than anything after the experience they went through with being by the boy's side.

"What got the cold prince attention so much?" a young man's voice ring our behind him.

He switch off the device and sit down on the chair with a lazy appearance. He's eyes watches on, as the young man starts sweating buckets not understanding why the other person is looking at him in annoyance.

"Look into this person for me," the boy demands.

The young man hold onto the picture of the girl with the mask playing a bamboo flute. He ask out of curiosity, "Liam, you are the best assassin in this country, why are you interested in this girl?"

Liam: "..."

He thought for a moment but still couldn't find a satisfying answer.

He answered, "I do not know and understand why either. However, I want to know everything about her. You can accomplish that can you, Aladdin?"

He sigh, "I can try but I can't guarantee anything. I want you to promise to stop attacking my fiancee. You can, can't you or I won't help with this."

Liam knows that Aladdin as the prince of Kultan he can get the information he is looking for. The assassination of the princess of the Desert Empire doesn't mean anything to him.

He answered, "I can promise you that I won't lay a hand on your fiancee. You should also know who ordered me to get rid of the princess, shouldn't you. That person won't let the princess of until that person get you."

Saying what he want to say Liam left the room with the men behind him following suit. While Aladdin sit there with a dark face.

He has let that person do whatever that person wants without any punishments so far due to that person's father's accomplishments for the country. However, that person has gone too far, even to the point of wanting to be his wife, she tried to drugged him and now she has gone to the point of assassin his fiancee.

He has to do something about that person and make things clearer than before.

...

Drizella kept turning in her sleep. She can't seem to fall asleep even though she's so tired from everything that's happening. There was a buzz sounding in her head, waking her up each time she close her eyes.

She is getting real annoyed by this buzzing...ringing noise in her head, that she thought she has contracted a disease. Her eyes really wants to close but the noise won't allow it.

She hugged the soft small pillow as her mind blink out and her view became blurry. The noise now didn't have an effect on her anymore as she was in deep sleep.

The noise stop and a white screen appear. On it were the words "CONVEYANCE BEGINS..." and a time clock ticking away to zero.

...

A splash of water woke her up from her sleep. She weakly and slowly got up from the cold pond with an anger atmosphere surrounding her. Drizella hate it when others bother her when she's sleeping the most. Her attitude completely change and she doesn't care what she's going to do next.

Looking at the woman who push her into the pond got her even more annoyed. That woman was standing there with a smug and arrogant attitude. She was clouded with anger that she didn't realize she was back to being Xuehau.

"Oh... Sorry, younger sister. This big sister didn't think you would fall down. Here let me help you up." The woman proclaimed with a regretful expression.

Drizella hold onto her stretch out hand and slip bringing the woman down with her. She didn't look at the woman a second time as she climb up the pond in her own way.

She twist her the water out of her hair, the long sleeves of her shirt and dress. The cold breeze brought her back to her senses as she look around to see that her environment is different. Like waves memories of the previous time she was in this world returned to her.

Her first thought was, "¿¿#$%!"

Her second thought was, "$*#*!@... Why is she here again?!!"

Her third thought was, "She's here... but were is she?!"
