She and Baiyu left Seno's study and made their way to their own rooms, "about earlier, are you sure Brother Seno will be alright?" Baiyu asked her.
"We'll just have to leave it up to fate." Vienna tells her. It's really hard to say how it will turn out this time. But let's just not think about that.
For now there are plenty of things to get done, she had no time to think about that man from before. This is a matter of revenge, that's all she should focus on.
"Is something the matter, Sister Vienna? You've been zoning out for a while now." Baiyu waves a hand in front of her face. Damn, looks like she did it without thinking.
"Yes, everything is fine. I was thinking that we should go out for a while." She says. No matter how hard she tried she couldn't stop thinking about him, something tells her that she should form an alliance with that man.
"Are we going somewhere special?" Baiyu asked with a curious expression.
It's indeed a special place. The best information Sect out there, it's so well hidden that even the Imperial Palace didn't know about them.
In her past life she stumbled upon a very strange woman, at the time Vienna had no clue that she was quite a powerful person. When it came to information that woman was the best person to receive it from, if possible she'd want to get the woman on her side.
The two of them separated so that they could dress up in outside wear, when they met up again it was outside the courtyard.
"How long has it been since we did something together like this? I'm actually pretty excited." Baiyu says as the two of them climbed a carriage into town.
Vienna couldn't help but think of the past suddenly, it has been a long time hasn't it? She never thought she'd ever get this chance to hang out with her siblings ever again. Like Baiyu asked, when was the last time? The last time she got to see that cheerful expression on her big sister's face?
Baiyu seemed to notice that she was in deep thought, "thinking of the past again? You shouldn't worry too much, since now we have you to keep all that stuff from happening." Baiyu says with a raised finger.
Yeah. But even Vienna knew that things could become unpredictable even if one knows what will happen in the near future. For her even the smallest mistake could cause a life.
"Stop right here." She calls to the driver.
Vienna and Baiyu made their way through the slums, "I never knew it was this bad." Baiyu whispers as they stopped at a green curtain,
"It gets worse in the future." She says as they entered the building.
"Who is it!" A man entered from the back. The inside of the building was kind of like a fancy tea house but that was just a cover for what really goes on from deep inside.
The man narrowed his gaze at them and seemed to study their actions. "Do the ladies wish to be served tea?" He asked.
"We would like the special actually." Vienna answered.
The man slightly flinches at this. Normally no one knew about a special. It's not on the menu and is well hidden unless you have really great knowledge.
Vienna knew the code by mistake in her past life. At the time she heard the emperor use it. She refuse to let him make too many allies that he made in the past.
The man glanced around before nodding, "follow me." He mouths.
Vienna and Baiyu stayed close behind as he led them to the very back until they stepped into a sitting room.
"Have a seat, I'll call the Mistress to meet you." The man says before leaving them alone.
"Seems like she's more wealthy than the place seems." Baiyu says looking around the sitting room.
That much was obvious, being the one who ccsn get information with no problem she should be rolling in wealth.
The door to the sitting war pushed open to reveal a tall red head with a womanly aura about her. Vienna knew once laying eyes on her that she was the one they were looking for.
Her eyes looked wise and sharp judging by the small wrinkles at the edge of her eyes, "and who might you beautiful ladies be?" She asked.
Vienna stood and curtsied a bit, this was to show a sign of respect, "greetings, Lordress Alma. I am Vienna and this is Baiyu. We came to offer a deal." She says.
The woman's eyes seemed to stare a hole into her very soul as she did not speak. All she did was stare.
After a few minutes of staring she finally spoke. "Alright, I'm listening."
Lordress Alma had a thought; if it's not for the fact that her aide warned her that they could be noble ladies she'd probably kill them already.
"Thank you." Vienna say as she pulled a large bag of coins from her dress and sat it before her.
She could see the greed in her eyes before it quickly vanished.
"What is it that you want." Lordress Alma asked beckoning for her aide to hand over the bag.
"I need information." Vienna points out.
