The festival began with trumpets and music in the background as many folk dancers came onward to show their skills. Singers began to sing in some unknown language, sounding more creepy than ethereal to Li Wei.
Her eyes narrowed at the bald men standing at the side on the stage, especially toward the old bald man who was smiling as he enjoyed the festive mood. Everyone seemed happy, but she couldn't shake off the feeling something was wrong, especially when they all took the name of the 'Emperor' who himself didn't know about his past!
Li Wei gripped her husband's hand tighter as she stared at the stage with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.
Now that the two of them had finally gotten a second chance at living, she wouldn't let it go so easily! Since she found this festival and even this place stranger and stranger the more she spent her time here, maybe she should flee from here….
