Unknown woman

Everyone's gaze was fixated on the young Master. Miyun was surprised, but he remained calm and collected. ' If this young Master is willing to accept me, then I'm honored to serve you', Miyun said not meaning even a bit of what he said. The people gathered directed their gaze to the podium where the senior Master of the Midera faction began a speech.

'Young recruit, it is no problem but it should be known that apart from serving you these regular scint also serve as your power binders, considering the amount of power you wield, you will need someone of great strength.' He said clearly not happy about the young man's wish.

'I am well aware of that Senior Master, but every regular scint can be made strong by constant practice and willingness, there is no need to look down on this young man's strength yet. Please grant me this wish...', The young Master once again requested.

The Senior Master nodded and walked back to his seat. The function came to an end. The regular scint members were getting acquainted to their special scint Masters. Miyun left the area annoyed, he saw a servant who worked in the Master's hall walk towards him. ' Junior deputy, the Senior Master summons you'. Miyun already expecting this nodded and followed the younger boy.

He could feel the heated gaze of his Master on him, but remained indifferent. Master Lifei chuckled lightly and tapped Miyun's shoulder affectionately. ' Well done, well done, you chose the best out of the scint, not that I actually care much about it, it was really exciting looking at my brother dissatisfaction.' Miyun was confused and replied. 'Master, I did nothing, that young man chose me not the other way round, I know you noticed I deliberately failed on purpose'. ' I noticed and so did he, your new young master, it will take a genius to notice you were faking your weakness, I am sorry he saw through. You owe me one as punishment' His Master told him and turned to leave.

Miyun suddenly remembered the matter concerning accommodation but decided to not go back and talk with his Master, he would speak directly with his new young Master. He roamed the vast compound but could not make out his Master, he sliently hoped he was not using that stupid power of distraction of his, He was deep in thought that he didn't see the obstacle on the road, he tripped but before he could think about steadying himself he was caught by someone. Miyun hated being in such a spot, he felt embarrassed but muttered a barely audible thank you.

' I take it you were looking for me?' The other asked. ' I was. I want to keep living at my quarters, if that is fine with you. The case allows me to move in the suits with you but I will like to remain in my quarters' Miyun told him clearly not hopeful he will be permitted. 'Okay, I like to live alone so it is no problem as long as you are punctual and there when I need you' he replied nodded and turned to walk away.

Mishin walked up to him, 'What did he say concerning you staying in the quarters?'. ' I will stay' Miyun simply replied. Becoming conscious of the wound on his side, he turned to leave. 'Wait, I actually came to give you this' Mishin said as he produced a folded piece of paper from his robes. Miyun took it and left.

He examined his wounds, his opponent did not go easy on him. He decided to take a dip in herbal but before he could prepare his bath, the paper caught his attention, he opened it and could make out some words. He traced his fingers on paper to make it understandable. He sighed and placed the paper back on his small table.

At the Pavillion's waterfall, Chai Dara paced about frantically deep in thought. she stopped when she heard the faint rustling of leaves. ' Milady, this young disciple greets you' Chai Dara said respectfully. 'Rise and tell me what I want to know' The other Lady responded impatiently. ' Milady, please give this disciple a little time, I will give you good news the next time we meet'. ' Time? time you say, are you aware how long you've been in this place?, The next time I come, I sure do hope to get good news' the lady said and walked away soundlessly.

Miyun had just finished taking a bath and was in his inner robes. A knock sounded at the door he sat up straight and grabbed his outer robe. ' Please come in', he replied. He expected Mishin to walk in but this person had masked their aura and sent and the footsteps were ever light that he could not make out who the person was in an instant. ' Young Master is that you' He asked the approaching person but got no response in turn.

The person just kept on drawing nearer, and stood right in front of his face

'It's....It is you.' he replied and stood further away from this person. ' Chai Dara what are you doing her, it is late.' Miyun told quiet coldly. ' You did not come to meet me, so I came to you'

'Me not coming should tell you something, I do not want to start anything with you. I am aware though you are regular scint member, you come from a good family, a potential special scint and a person of rank, you cannot be with me, I have nothing to offer.' Miyun spewed.

'That is what you are worried about? that means you would have consented to being with if I possessed none of what you mentioned right?, then let me tell you this, I want nothing in return from you, just your heart, Miyun your heart' Chai Dara spoke her voice slightly cracking.

Miyun hesitated before speaking, 'It is late. please leave, you might get into trouble. Please leave.' ' I will not till you tell me something, please, if you do not want me say it, so I know, do not leave me hanging like this, I am hurting and so are you...please'

'Please leave, I have nothing to say to you' Miyun replied coldy

Chai Dara kept drawing near. Miyun's robe that hung loosely opened in the front

revealing his chest. Chai Dara raised her hand to touch him, ' Please stop this, I do not want to hurt you' Miyun said and grabbed her hand

'No' she said firmly

'Yes' came a reply from the door........
