Chapter 5 - Not my child!!!

I'm going to the palace premises and when I get the chance to get my revenge, I'll gladly do it.

Su Jin said in her thoughts while glaring at the door as if she wants to rip it off before she angrily walked out.

"My lady, where are you off to ? Pls don't do anything stupid. Because of all you did in the past, your father died and we are living in ruins. Please consider all the sufferings you've gone through in the past. Please!!!"

The guard said sorrowfully with his head bowed to the ground. He was sad for his young miss who from the life of affluence became nothing less than a poor church rat.

Su Jin just looked her only guard who stood with her through thick and thin. She looked at him with a painful gaze.

It's a painful fact that I was so stupid to persistently chase after what couldn't be mine. But if I have to die, Xinyi must go with me. That's just how much I hate her and what will be more painful is that I have nothing to lose but she ....she will lose everything, everything....

Su Jin smirked evilly which only left us with a conclusion that she's lost her mind. Then she strode out and after a while turned to take one last look at her detached house never to look back again.

........

"Toso, I'll be going out with our daughter for a walk."

Toso stared at her with disbelief written all over his face.

"My dear, it's dangerous for you to go out for now not to talk about with our child."

"I just want to visit the priest and discuss somethings with him."

Xinyi said still trying to convince her husband. "and there's no harm going out the guards will be there so you don't have to stress yourself all for nothing."

Toso thought for a while and finally agreed.

"Thanks" xinyi said and left not after receiving a her warming hug from her husband.

As they were moving I the carriage Xinyi suddenly felt that something was wrong because the path they were taking wasn't the right path that led to where the priest stayed.

"This isn't the right way, turn left. The priest lives on the left."

Xinyi exclaimed but that didn't change the direction where their carriage was moving which made xinyi more scared as she held her daughter more tight. "What's going on. I said THE PRIEST HOUSE IS ON THE LEFT." xinyi shouted feeling really scared

Suddenly, the carriage stopped and a masked man came down and approached the side where xinyi was staying in the carriage. Even the maids that accompanied her where already shaking with fear.

"Who are you? and what do you want from me." xinyi said trying to muster all the remaining courage within her.

"Hahhhhhahhhh" a sinister laughter broke out from the masked man, a laughter which caused chills to run down people's spine.

The masked man removed the mask from his face and gasps were heard from the remaining people who were there not believing who they saw in front of them.

"Su Jin...." xinyi called out as she held her baby tighter

"Woww!! So you still remember me. That's nice cause I don't have much time for introductions." she said as another heart wrenching laughter broke out.

"How did you know I was here and how did you get rid of the guards?" xinyi asked starting to feel confused about the whole situation.

"Well, you could say I got rid of them. You Know I was once trained with them so whatever I did to them was just a piece of cake!!" su Jin mustered grinning

"So why are you here?" xinyi said feeling really scared this time.

"Well, you could say I came to pay a visit to your new born child. You know I wasn't informed so I decided to pay a visit to the child."

"No! Get away from my child, you evil witch!" xinyi screamed

"That's it! My patience is really running thin" su Jin shouted as she hurried to take away the child from xinyi's hands.

"There's no way you can lay that filthy hands of yours on my child." xinyi said as both women were fighting while the some of the maids fled for their lives and some also got into the fight to protect their queen and the child and some ran to inform the queen.

Few minutes later with dead corpses of the maids on the ground and the child within Su Jin's hands. xinyi begged for her child asking Su Jin to take her life instead.

"You know I planned to kill you before but I think seeing this expression in your eyes really makes me happy. You would never find your child again." su Jin said and ran away with the child as she heard horse gallops indicating that the soldiers are around.

(The reason why Xinyi was unable to use her magical powers against su Jin was because her magical powers got sealed ever since the Phoenix blood were to be killed.)

Xinyi, are you okay? the king asked as he saw his wife on the ground weeping profusely.

"Don't worry, we'll find our child and calsure su Jin." the king said trying to pacify his wife.

Meanwhile, Su Jin kept on running with the child crying in her arms until she reached the creek.

"The soldiers are coming for me and there's no where for me to go now." she then took s good look at the child. "Why do you look so much like them. I really want to let them suffer even if you're innocent it's still your fault for you allowing them to give birth to you." Su Jin exclaimed and could hear the sounds of the horsemen coming nearer. With no where to go and having resolved in her heart to kill the child she threw the child into the eternal fire on the creek.

There was the heart wrenching cry of the child that made people cry. The soldiers seized Su Jin and took her to the palace where she was executed.

"Nooooo...not my child. Our daughter was innocent. Why did she have to be so cruel." xinyi cried even Toso couldn't bear the pain any longer and a sorrowful tear passed down from his eyes. All he wished for was for his daughter to pass through the fire alive even if he thought it was all a useless wish.
