10/1/1 RC

I woke up to a slight scent of blood in the air but I did not see their remains anymore.

The ordinary maids seems to be quite shaken but still did their work.

I couldn't help but think about how my wet-nurses seemed to be extraordinary, beyond the guards placed in this manor.

I suspect that I had been embroiled in a power struggle between two or more powers.

If I was right, it also meant that my existence had become important enough to destroy or protect in order to guarantee some's interest.

I might actually be someone with incredible background and high social status?

Although I felt that it was unlikely that I was used as a bait to catch the tail of a big fish, hiding me among numerous other similar manors with similar guards could also be possible?

I really don't want to be involved into something I had no idea nor interest in but if what I feared was right, then my carefree days were over. =(

While I was brooding over my possible bleak future and ramifications of last night's ordeal, I was given another super bath and made to wear those fancy robes again.

Mother and Aunt came when I was done with bathing and robing.

It was a flash but I could feel cold anger radiating from their eyes before it turned back to normal.

I saw MoMo ordering the maids around to pack things and load them at the back of a very big and luxurious carriage gilded with gold and gems on its body.

It felt more like a small expensive house being carried by one really big strange looking horse.

Horses with scales?

What the fuck?!

What is that!!

Paws?!

I was curious, crazy curious about this strange animal, but MiMi kept a tight leash on me to the side and I really really wanted to go nearer to maybe pet it.

Just as I was curious of it, the scaled horse as I temporarily named it, I could also feel its gaze on me while making some sort of blowing sound through its big nose at my direction.

It then made a weird playful action, as if it was beckoning me to come over and play, I thought it was cute, and I giggled happily.

I went back to pondering about my future as it lay down on the ground and made a cute sigh.

I think I didn't reincarnate/time travel to ancient china...

This means plenty of complication in my initial thoughts about this world.

A person with certain social status coupled with empath latent would turn me into a fish in the water, allowing me to secure a great position for myself in this ancient china through politics or business, or so I thought.

A strange martial methods, unbelievable personal strengths, strange fantastical creatures add in a whirlpool of turmoil of interest literally spells lethal problems.

Environments where might of one could overcome many also means that personal interest would be valued much higher than the interest of the organization or families.

This sounds like plenty of trouble in the future...

The escort guards made a commotion that woke me from my reverie.

The captain of our escort retinue came to introduce himself to me and Mother while giving a cautionary nod to Aunt.

Strength aside, he had to be the biggest man I've seen in this life so far with height close to the horse drawing our carriage, this captain with his armor made him look like a bear!

His face is also as ugly as his bear-like size!

Our rock-like manor guards definitely looked more handsome than him!!!

I hope his size would measure up to his ability to escort us.

I saw him went back to ride his black bear mount...

Our journey started without much fanfare and the only concern I had was that there is no coachman manning our carriage? It doesn't make me feel safe at all!!!

Safety concerns aside, the enclosed carriage was very spacious inside, I think it's the size of my bedroom but it certainly doesn't look like it outside.

I'm taking all these unbelievable things in stride for now.

I couldn't see the road from inside but I was expecting it to be a terrible ass-destroying ride to wherever Mother was planning to be but I was honestly floored.

The carriage journey is a smooth as bullet train ride although I could hear the soft and constant galloping sound.

Our journey lasted the whole day without rest as we finally stopped when the sun is almost down.

Although there wasn't much annoyance to the journey itself, I felt tired and slept through it all.

Uneventful journey is a great journey!

I only woke up when MoMo fed me dinner alone.

I wonder where this place is, my bedroom seemed to be bigger and more luxurious than the previous room?

The furniture seems expensive and they also has a really nice smell to it.

I didn't see MiMi around when I woke up, neither was Mother and Aunt.

I also didn't feel the presence of hidden guards around my room.

How strange of them to abscond so shortly after last night's sudden raid.
