A Hero

Princess Ling Mei the second child and only daughter of the Emperor and Empress of Shang, loved to  watch when her older brother practicest his sword, she adimred him more than any one in the Palace or maybe the whole kingdom. After all he  was the future  Emperor of Shang.

"How are you doing your highness" said one of the guards as he passed by Ling Mei.

"I am fine thank you, I am just sitting here watching my brother do practice, he is really good" she replied to the guard.

"Yes indeed the young master is good he will become a great Emperor one day" he said.

 

The young princess was almost ten years old but she behaved like she was twentieth years old, after all she was the princess of the Empire, so everyone had their eyes on her  since the day she was born.

She was pretty little girl with long black hair like the silk, red lips like a rose and a face bright like the sun.

"Hi Ling Mei what are you doing, are you   daydreaming again" it was her good friend Ai Yue, they have been friends since they were small babies. Even though Ai Yue and Ling Mei were totally from two different family backgrounds the two girls never saw this difference.

"oh hi Yue, I was just enjoying the weather, I love the smell of spring and the cherry blossom" she replied to her friend.

"oh, you know what I over heard that...." before she could finish, Ling Mei stopped her and then said "how many times have I told you that it is not a good habit  for a young lady"

"I don't care any way I am just a servant girl and I will never become a lady"  Ling Mei 's replied.

Before Ling Mei could reply to her friend, her brother called for her, so both the girls decided to met later.

Later when Ling Mei was walking with her brother she told him

"Brother you know you are my hero".

Her brother looked at her, he had  black hair just like  her ,but a more serious face than hers he was five years older than her but they talked to each like they were twins.

"And you are mine little hero, forever and forever Mei - chan" he said smiling to his little sister.

From a fare away corner some one was watching them , some who was really jealous of there relationship some one who really wanted to destroy this relationship and the whole Kingdom.
