Pearl Country's Palace Garden
Two women were laughing like hyenas while crowding a cute girl with blonde hair and green eyes. Because she looked soft and innocent many assume she's this weakling. In actual fact her true self was a ferocious beast, but of course even if she acted out it would do no good. Being under cover really had it's disadvantages.
"So this is the Emperor's favorite? Is it true you stick to him like a rodent?" This woman hid behind an evil smirk.
"Ha! More like a pesky fly!" The other one was a follower who also wished for the Emperor's love.
Basically they're just jealous. Well in her Kingdom where Emperors were Kings. It was almost the same, but of course one has the right to refuse to become a concubine or not. The Emperor of Pearl Country was a flirtatious bastard with much greed, and because of that guy she was here. If she could squeeze the neck of that damned idiot. She clenched her fist and with much difficulty managed some tears, "please....please don't say such mean things." She says with a quiver in her voice.
Disgusting. To have to act this way to help that bastard get back someone precious. She could feel her mental state breaking at how these smug bitches kept looking down on her. "Please don't say such things," she continues to fake cry.
"Look at this bitch grovel." The fake bitch points at her and laughs. It was clear that she had not noticed that this was an act in the first place. If not for her cuteness the next part of her plan would not be possible.
"How dare you make the Emperor's favorite concubine cry!" A few nearby guards that witnessed the altercation stepped forward their red faces were enough to understand what logic they were really using. She continued with the fake tears even going so far as to cry as loud as possible, "they keep saying mean things, what did I do wrong! It's not like it's my fault the Emperor likes me!" She cries. Hmph, stupid bitches. The two women looked scared and taken aback.
"It's okay Concubine Risa. We'll let the Emperor know about this unfair transgression. So please stop crying." One of the knights begged.
"What's going one here?!" That was the voice she was waiting on. You sorry excuse for concubines will feel my wrath. She points at the two women her checks streaked with her alligator tears while looking back at the Emperor who came upon the scene.
She's...she's a monster! The two women soon realized their mistake for starting this in the first place. If they don't apologize then this will turn into something that can't be fixed!
"Emperor, we're sorry!" They cried falling to their knees quickly as he took Concubine Risa into his hold trying to calm her down.
Watching from a safe distance
"Woah, Lady Baiyu handled that well!" Ania says her eyes sparkling. Following the noise sure was a good idea, since they managed to find the Lady Baiyu putting on quite the show as a concubine named Risa.
"Why am I not surprised to find her in this predicament. Must be that bastard Duke Daniel behind all this." Sir Seno says with a scowl.
Ania blinked, "Sir?" She asked. "Don't worry about it." Sir Seno says. Ania nods, after all as a servant it was not her problem.
Sir Seno seemed to be in deep thought, wonder what he was thinking?
Sir Seno's thoughts
Seems like his sister's taking on a mission from the Duke of Portland, that would be the only reason that she would let small fries like that speak to her so callously. Despite her cute face, she's like a Demon Lord or maybe even a possible evil warlord. Though judging from the way she's acting she was taking care of it in a method he hadn't expected. Acting cute was not Baiyu's forte. As a matter of fact using her fist and words were more like her.
"So, what now?" Ania asked.
He crosses his arms, "we should find out what her reason is to be here. If anything that person sent her here to save someone. Or maybe it's one of his whims." Seno answers. This was most likely a rescue mission for his personal gain. "Let's go, we'll have to find out what room she's in." He says as they turn and made their way back inside.
Kalvica's House
Vienna felt stiff, her thoughts had strayed to yesterday's guest. To think that he knew what she was up to. It doesn't make sense. That man....it's clear that she will want to work with him. But, how can she trust someone who knew her plans when it was just recently she began to take small actions? Does this mean he had been keeping close tabs on her from the beginning? Or....is it possible he was like her? Returning from a past life? There are so many theories that come to mind.
For now she should be careful.
