"What you think is taking her so long?" Princess Ara asked Doctor An curiously. "I don't know. Perhaps it didn't work." He says with a shrug. If not, it's not like her face was that bad. It did come to his attention that the others haven't seen her face since it's always covered in a viel. Even with that scar she was quite pretty, he can not see how getting rid of the burns would help. Doubt it would make her any prettier either. "Harsh, you're quite the pessimist aren't you?" Princess Ara says rolling her eyes. Nah, he felt that he was just being honest. Suddenly a bright light came from the spatial bag that they had lied down on the floor. This way when Kila came back she would appear on there. She appears before them, her face no longer covered by the viel, "woah." Doctor An found himself saying.
Princess Ara glares over at him and walks over to Kila; threads her arm through hers, and smiles. "I knew you were beautiful when I first met you. To think you would hid this beauty behind a veil the whole time!" She was gushing as though it was her daughter she was praising. Doctor An rolls his eyes which grew large once he notices a big fluffy monster also emergong from the spatial bag. "Uh, what on earth!" He says loudly while pointing and taking a step back. The beast tilts its head as if confused by his reaction, it behind it as if expecting something to jump out, "is there something behind me?"
Kila reaches over and pets it lightly, "not at all, just Doctor An being rude." She says. He was being rude? Princess Ara takes a closer look, "isn't this just Misty?" She asked glancing back at him and pointing at the beast. Doctor An blinks, "what? There's no way? Misty is not that big and she definitely can't speak." He was in denial. "This human is stupid isn't he?" Misty says giving him a strange look. He scowls, even the beast was making fun of him. "Shall we leave, we need to make our way back to Yun Empire, after all. There must be something I can do in order to find King Jero." Kila says as she walks past them and steps out the cabin.
Doctor An stares after her. "Are you taking revenge now?" He asked as he and Princess Ara follows after. He notices the look of pure hatred brimming in the depths of her eyes. She never answered his question, but the look on her face was enough of an answer. She not only cured her burns on her face, she seemed to be more spirited than usual. Before, when he met her, she didn't seem to want anything to do with her past life. She did mentioned curing her scars and going back. But she had no actual plans to take revenge. It seemed like she knew that girl from earlier as well, the one they saw before leaving Yan Empire. Who was she to her?
"What are you spacing out for? Come on, we have long journey ahead of us." Princess Ara says as they madde their way out of Ronin Village. Kila who was burning with a newfound rage, though her face was cured. Her body was not. The Jewel of Misty Glade could only cure her face and a bit on her body. It seems her skin was too severly damaged. That bitch, she ruined the life of the original owner. There was no way she could let her live any longer!
RUONG HOUSEHOLD: THREE MONTHS LATER
Fan'er paces back and forth, there was no more news on her cousin's whereabouts. Could she have finally died? Fan'er smirks. If so then this would be her chance to finally have everything she had wished for and more. That stupid woman was no match for her at all. "Fan'er. So you are here." Her uncle. General Ruong enters her room and looks about. "You look happy about something." He says. Fan'er smiles sweetly, it's good to have this man under her spell. He will only see her as someone he loved like a daughter. She went through alot of trouble to get this far. "Of course, Uncle. I was just thinking about Brother Ping." She says threading her arm through his.
"Should I offer you some tea, Uncle?" She asked as her maid enters with a tray. He looked at the tray and nods before sitting in a nearby chair. She turns and removes a herb from her sleeve before dropping a bit into one of the cups. She grabs the cup and turns to hand it over to him, "please." she says before also grabbing hers and taking a sip. Hmph. This old uncle was clueless. She thought as he tossed back the tea and sat the cup down. There was suddenly a racket coming from outside her courtyard, "so it was true." Her unlce says as he began to pour the tea out. It seems he haven't taken a singel drop.
She was tricked, "what is this?" She asked as her doors are swung open and a face she never thought she'd see again came marching into her home. "Kilang! Why are you here?" She asked feeling a sense of dread washing over her very being. That was not the question she wanted to ask. It was how long has she been here? And how long has Uncle not been taking his drinks.
