Chapter 22 - Chapter 22

Inside the carriage Nalin was seated opposite of pim thus making eye contact

"what do you think your parents called you for?." Nalin asked pim casually

"I don't know. but I think it's about my marriage and the issue about warlocks."

"Marriage?" Nalin's face suddenly became pale and felt as if a hand clutched at her heart ready to squeeze.

"are you okay?" pim asked and then she said in a low voice "strange you don't have a fever." pim quickly went to nalin's side and touched her forehead.

"am fine. just let me lean on you and take a nap." Nalin said.

"sure just sleep. I'm here for you I will be by you and forever by your side." pim was afraid so she could only comfort her with words.

Nalin's heart trembled even she didn't know why every single thing pim does or say make her heart warm.

"I know that someday all my dreams would come true including being with you." Pim said in a soft whisper.

"Huh!! did you say something?" nalin asked.

"Nope." with that they  became silent after hearing Nalin's breathing stabilize she looked at her face, the source of her worries she started wondering what the future holds. While she was deep in her thoughts the carriage arrived at the capital just outside the palace gates.

"it's you!!! King father your daughter was bullied by this people." The seventh princess screamed while pointing at nalin and the others who were getting off the carriage.

The king swept her gaze across the group of four and ordered "Guards!!! please Invite our guests" The guards worked swiftly and led the group inside.

In the main hall the king was seated on the main seat while the group sat at the opposite seats

"So I heard you bullied this king's seventh princess?" The king asked while smiling kindly but this smile hid a visiciousness that shouldn't be displayed.

"I would like to sit and chat and also teach the seventh princess some manners but I don't have enough time. So here." Pim quickly retrieved a golden pass. Seeing this the king's smile faded and was replaced with a fear so deep you could drown, he quickly kowtowed.

"This lowly one was blind and failed to see mount Tai I beg for her highness to be lenient." Before pim replied a voice was heard

"King father what are doing? are you really ready to have your daughter suffer injustice."

without a warning the king quickly stood up and slapped the princess. and faced pim "This lowly one failed to properly teach his daughter" The king said, he then looked at his daughter "you will be confined in the ice cave for a month without this king's order you are not allowed to move even an inch." The king sneakily wiped the sweat that was accumulated on his brows confining the princess was the least he could do inorder to make amends with pim and also to spare her from the capital death sentence. but who would've thought that pim would only flick her sleeves and kept quiet thus the responsibility of responding fell on nalin

"This is your family matters we won't get involved but know this, an unruly child can cause the collapse of a household and also this isn't done we will be back I don't swallow loses take us to the teleportation array" Nalin responded with a smile

The king shuddered but he quickly collected himself. He led the group towards the teleportation array and watched as the group fade away.

"King father I know am not your favorite daughter but I am still your daughter. I was bullied and you did nothing." The princess stomped her feet and pouted.

"Not everyone can be offended did you see the golden pass the girl took out? Let this king explain it to you. Passes are only used by the other three realms. So a bronze pass is used by commoners, the copper pass is used by royal maids and servants, the silver pass is used by officials, now this last two you can't afford to offend at all they are the imperial family they use gold passes like that lady and white passes are used by celestial guardian." The king said with a sigh.

The princess's face immediately paled but only for a minute after she remembered her other identity the fear on her face vanished and was replaced by an intense hatred this went unnoticed by the king because he was deep in his thoughts. The princess quickly bowed and left.

A figure quietly materialized Inside  the princess's room

"Why did you call me this better be important." A figure cloaked in black spoke his voice was cold and distant as if matters concerning this mundane world doesn't interest him.

Gritting her teeth she said with force " I want them dead from the first person to the pet I want them dead."

"Killing? you've called me out just to dirty my hands? you do it yourself" The man continued in his monotone voice laced with anger

"My Lord I can't, they are not from this realm, I have a portrait of the main culprit." The princess quickly kowtowed and pulled a portrait from her sleeves.

Reaching out to take the portrait the man casually asked" I thought you met them early today how come you have a picture already." The man unrolled the picture and gazed at it. He was stunned the face on the picture was capable of bringing downfall of cities and those deep unfathomable eyes were like bright twinkly stars in a clear sky. Her skin was white but not sickly white it had a tinge of red it was clear the painter did a great job

" After they humiliated me I swore vengeance and since I was in a hurry to meet with sir Xuan tian ye I decided to have someone paint her picture and deal with her later." hearing this the man cleared his throat and shifted his gaze.

" very well you managed to rouse this lord's interest I will take care of this."
