The Escape

The next morning,

Momo was seen running to the tent of The Princess where she was resided previous night. The princess had been awake for a while. When Princess saw Momo, she was gasping. Princess asked,

"Momo, what happened?"

Before answering her question Momo took a jar from the table and started drinking from it.

"Hey! Use the glass. Don't touch it with your mouth. I'm sure you haven't brushed your teeth yet.

But she had already swallowed all the water. Momo was still breathing abnormally.

"Momo! I told you not to drink from my jar. It's disgusting."

"Sorry, princess. I will wash it." She looked around to find something and went to the other side of the tent. She took a bowl from the rack.

"Momo, what are you doing."

The bowl was full of water that princess used this morning to clean her face and mouth. That dirty water was kept there to throw away. But before Princess could stop her, she swallowed all of the water from a bowl. Princess sighed.

"Thanks God. I am feeling alive again."

"Last night I saw you alive. Are you dead already?" Princess laughed. She decided not to tell her about the water.

Momo replied, "Practically i was going to die by laughing. Princess, you will not believe if you do not see this with your own eyes. Please, come with me."

Before the princess could decline, Momo rushed outside. Seeing her excitement, the princess also followed her without any objection.

As soon as she came out of her tent, a small gathering was seen there; a weird gathering; a small gathering of women. They were very tall, ugly and very weird looking.

"Who are they?" Princess asked Momo.

Momo looked at the princess funnily. She somehow tried to suppress her smile. But she couldn't control herself and burst into laughter. Princess looked at her in oddly. She whispered, "What? Do I look like a clown? Why are you laughing so loudly?"

"Sorry. But they are." She pointed to those women with her fingers.

"Who are these strange-looking women? What they want from me."

Momo didn't have to answer.

The tallest person of the gathering came forward and said, "Princess, I am Wan Yu, the commander of your guards."

The princess was shocked. Momo was right. She couldn't believe her own eyes. She looked at him in surprise. She didn't understand whether she should cry or she should laugh. "Commander, why are you in this situation? And why Are you dressed like this? Are you really Wan Yu Grandpa?"

The commander was a bit upset. He knows this princess is kind of crazy. It is not clear when the princess address whom in which way. In the night whom she calls as brother, in the next morning she may calls the same person as uncle. But grandpa is too much. General Wan Yu is sill in his thirties. Much younger than anything like 'Grandpa'. So he replied, "Princess, sorry. But I don't remember to having a granddaughter.

Commander Wan Yu was very serious. Nevertheless, it was so funny that his own subordinates started laughing after heard him. Commander angrily rebuked them.

Princess grinned," I have always heard that soldiers are very rough people. Now I see that was a complete lie. They also have feminine elegance inside. I'm really impressed."

The soldiers did not seem too pleased to hear the praises of the princess. A young soldier muttered, "Crazy royal brat."

It was loud enough for reach the princess. But she pretended not to hear. The commander lifted his veil and said, "Princess, I have something to discuss with you."

The princess had no interest in wasting time by talking with the commander. Her interest was on something else. She did not want to miss this golden opportunity to tease the witless commander. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Commander Uncle, first tell me which festival is today."

The commander thought for sometimes. After a while he replied, "As long as I know there is no festival today. What's the reason for princess to ask this question?"

The princess smiled, "Nothing serious. Actually, I heard that impotent people from Jin kingdom dressed like girls when they worship the Goddess of beauty. So I thought you might too.''

Hearing the princess, bone of some soldier's mouth was hardened. But their commander kept his temper under control.

He said," With due respect I advise her highness to look into her own appearance. She is fond of making jokes everywhere. But we don't have any weird hobby like her highness. She told us yesterday to wear veils. We just obeyed her orders."

"When did I tell you to wear a veil?" Princess surprised."

"The princess is probably forgotten. yesterday you said that you don't want to see our faces and wear veils."

The Princess remembered the events of the last day. That time she said those words in anger.

"Sorry. I was angry that time. I didn't order you to actually wear veil." She asked, "But what happened to them. Why do al of the soldiers also wear veils? As I remember I didn't order them to apply make-up. "

"Every soldiers should follow their commander. This is the main rule of an army. So that's why they followed me."

The Princess was surprised. She said, " You can fight, you can cook, you can do many things. You guys are really impressive. But isn't becoming women too much?"

A younger soldier was fixing his make-up with help of a mirror. He replied, "It's not too much hard for us. We have to do it often."

"Really, what's your name?" Princess asked him.

"This servant is called SuSu."

"Susu. You looks beautiful."

"Thanks, princess. Susu is pleased."

"You are welcome. Susu chan, tell me more."

"Princess chan, as you know we are members of the secret army. We usually do not take part in the frontal battle, unless there is a special need. Our main task is intelligence, spying and assassination. That's why we often have to disguise. A large part of our team isn't fond of disguising. However, under adverse circumstances, our entire team has to disguise itself. For example, if a guerrilla attack has to take place within the enemy's territory. What should we do? Of course, borders cannot be crossed without suffering losses. It is not easy to cross the border under the eyes of the other side's spies. But the rules of the border are very relaxed for women and children. So, we sometimes cross the border, disguised as girls. No one doubts it. And the task becomes easier too. If tensions prevail at the border, then of course, you have to pass through the check point. During those times, we use another method."

"Which method?"

"Honey Trap."

"Wah!"

"In this method, we use members of the team who are not yet bearded and who look like girls. First they cross-dress as sluts. Then we sent them to flirt with the border guards. Princess, do you know I am the most efficient member of the team in this regard?"

The princess made a confused face because not a single part of that soldier look like a girl.

"Is that so?"

"100% proved. I swear by my grand-brother. I had a six month course on seduction from Madame Cao of Hive Brothel. We try to seduce the border guards. Thus, we use our seduction technic to divert their attention. When their attention goes away, others in the team cross the border on that opportunity. That's our secret strategy. How does it sound?"

The princess was listening tge whole thing intently. She replied, "You guys are really great. Red salute for all of you. But one thing I did not understand."

" What is that?"

" Why don't you use girls in this work. Isn't it earlier?"

The young soldier put his hand on his chest and said, "Princess, we have honor. We run intelligence agencies, not brothels. Last year, our beloved leader ' Commander Wan Yu' was almost raped by the enemy general. How do we use girls in such dangerous work?"

The princess was shocked to hear the soldier and looked at the commander. Commander Wan Yu was throwing fireballs at the soldier with his eyes.
