"Miss, I really didn't. I didn't knock food over to Blossom. I didn't even bump her." Amber pleaded.
"I know you didn't. Get up, kneeling is not good for your legs." Luna said.
"Miss, if you know I didn'f do it why didn't you punish Blossom?" Amber asked.
"Silly girl. You are still naive. If Cassie had the guts to say it, she must've prepared evidence to back it up. If I did insist on punishing Blossom, we would've fallen into her trap."
"Ohh! Miss is so wise."
"I'm still far from it." Luna laughed. "I didn't get justice for you. Do you blame me?"
"No of course not. How could this servant dare." Amber immediately lowered her head
"Don't be so uptight. Although we did not get to punish Blossom. We still did a toll on Casssie Ching's reputation." Luna said. "This will only be the first step towards my goal."

-Star pavillion-
Piang! The sound of broken porcelain could be heard.
"Darned Luna Ching! Why didnt she take the bait! Its all her fault, she made me kneel in front of everyone. How dare you ancient pest refute me!" Cassie screamed.
"Cassie what happened? Who made you so mad? And what are you talking about pests." Mistress Rein asked urgently.
"N-Nothing mother. I just got so angered by Luna that i started talking nonsense." Cassie stammered. "I must be more careful next time." Cassie thought.
"Luna? How dare she anger my Cassie? She still dares to be this impudent after her mother was locked up in the temple." Mistress Rein angrily said.
"Its all because her mother is still the main wife. She bullies me by saying that I'm a concubine's daughter. Mother hurry and become the main wife already. Ger rid of that useless woman."
"Its not that simple Cassie. No one outside knows that that woman is locked up in the temple. If it was that simple I would have became main wife from before. Mother will uphold justice for you. But don't talk about this matter to your father. I need to gain control of the moon pavillion. That will be my stepping stone to becoming the main wife." Mistress Rein laughed.
"Luna..Luna....when mistress Rein becomes main wife see how i'll crush you." Cassie smirked evilly.

-back to Luna-
"This is really unfair. Cassie gets to stay in such a flamboyant courtyard, while I'm stuck in this rundown courtyard. Luna's father, The prime minister, Howard ching has 1 main wife and 7 concubines. Each of them lives in their own pavillions with their children. Originally, Luna was suppose to live in the Moon pavillion with her mother. The moon pavillion is exclusive only to the main wife. However Luna's mother was accused of killing a concubine's child. Therefore the prime minister punished her to pray and live in the temple in the residence. While mistress Rein suggested that Moon pavillion was too big for Luna thus Luna was relocated to thorn pavillion the oldest and abandoned pavillion." Luna thought.
"Hmm....Amber who was the most influential concubine of that time my mother's scandal?"
"Its mistress Rein, she almost became the main wife. But because of the Madam's more powerful background Mistess Rein became a concubine instead. "
"Who accused my mother? And provided evidence for the case."
"Both are mistress Rein. Miss....are you perhaps thinking..."
"It must be Mistress Rein. She has long lusted for the position of main wife. By kicking me out, the moon pavillion will be empty. It will be easy for the mother and daughter pair to claim moon pavillion. Then, it is only a matter of time for Mistress Rein to become main wife. I cant let that happen!" Luna said. "Amber lets go!" Luna commanded
"To where miss?" Amber asked.
"To reclaim moon pavillion."
