Chapter 9

Anastasia woke up to the intense smell of herbs and incense. She sat up and looked around when she realized she wasn't in her room and was in some kind of old chinese room she saw in Scarlett's c-dramas. Wait, where is this?!

She stood up and looked outside. There were several guards walking around, and they were heavily armed. Oh great. She looked down at her clothes and saw a Chinese hanfu instead. It was comfy, and it had a delicate colour, but who the fuck changed my clothes?!

She stormed towards the door and touched it, only to be blasted off away from it. She landed on the nightstand and it broke under her because of the sudden force. What the hell? She took a broken wood piece and threw it at the door, but nothing happened. She blinked in confusion. She was just blasted off it and nothing happened to the wood.

She slowly walked up it and quickly touched it, only to get a tiny shock on her finger. Oh great, the door was guarded by a protection spell. She looked around to find another window. She opened it and tried to go outside when the same thing happened. She landed on the bed and then she realised the entire fucking room was guarded by protection spell. Fuck.

She tried to bring her powers up, but nothing happened. It was as if they never did exist. What the hell?! She got kidnapped by some obsessive secret admirers who were probably fae and they probably knew that she can blast everyone off earth with a snap. They probably made her drink something to not let her powers be accessed.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the door slide open. A girl who looked fifteen of seventeen came inside and bowed. "My lady, do you need anything?"

"Umm, who are you?"

"I'll be your maid for a while."

"Oh. what's your name then?"

"My name is Xiuyun, my lady."

"Okay Xiuyun, can you please tell me where I am right now?"

"In your room, my lady."

"I'm not talking about the room. Am I in the fae kingdom? Tell me the truth."

Xiuyun looked down and nodded. "Yes, my lady."

"Can you tell me who changed my clothes?"

"It was me, my lady. You don't have to worry about someone looking at you."

"Okay~ sit down."

Xiuyun instantly sat down on the floor, and Anastasia rolled her eyes. "Not there, idiot. Sit with me."

Xiuyun's eyes widened. "What do you mean, my lady?"

"Sit with me on the bed."

Xiuyun shook her head fastly. "No, my lady. I can't."

"Why?"

"Otherwise my master would kill me."

"So a dude kidnapped me?"

"Umm yes my lady."

"Okay, so can you tell me about your master? Ya know just a vague description of him and his characteristics?"

"I can't, my lady."

"Why? Would he try to hurt you?"

Xiuyun nodded her head, and Anastasia sighed. This girl looks probably fifteen and just came into the world and her master is giving her death threats, she thought. "It's fine. I'll tell your master that I was the one who asked you about it. And since he is one of my 'admirers', he probably won't do anything to me, I promise."

Xiuyun thought for a while and then said, "Umm, master is not a wicked man or a good man. He has too many children and has a huge harem for no reason. He even has a lot of connections, he's well known in the entire empire for his wit and many sexual relationships as well. He…" Xiuyun realized what she was going to say next, then shook her head. "That's it, my lady. I only know that much about him."

"Meh, it's okay. Since this dude has like… one fifty children and a hundred wives, including concubines. He even has hundreds of dirty connections with other people. Is your master Wang Hongmei, my cousin by chance?"

Xiuyun gasped. "How did you know that, my lady?"

"I'm the crown princess of the immortals, Xiuyun. Obviously, I would guess it easily. Also, I know that you're past fae and part vampire, also you're one of his illegitimate children. And you were conceived by forced sex."

Xiuyun instantly looked down in embarrassment. How can she guess that she was one of her father's illegitimate children? Not even that. She even guessed Xiuyun was conceived through… ****?

"Don't worry, Xiuyun, I won't degrade you on it. You're not the only one who was conceived by ****. I've also been conceived through it."

"What?! What do you mean, my lady?"

And that's how Anastasia knew her plan was working. Her plan was to get Xiuyun's affection and trust, then infiltrate this place's information through her, and then burn the entire place down while putting her cousin on a stake. She wanted to meet this son of a fuck again and kick him on the jewels!

While that was happening, Cassandra's team had successfully got out of the building they were in and ran to the royal family to tell them about it. They were shaken at first, but now they're training the army to attack Wang Hongmei's home.

And who was going to lead the entire thing? Her mother, Wang Hwei-ru.
