[[[AN UNFORGIVING QUEEN]]]

"What's the report on that bastard"? A cold feminine voice asked

"Reporting my queen, she…" but before he could finish his words a shiver ran down his spine. He immediately refreshed his words. "That little wench hasn't left her room all day." I think she has become wearier due to the last kidnapping attempted" the man responded worriedly.

The queen was a beautiful woman. At her current age, even with wrinkles on her face. It was undeniable. Her face always held a condescending expression lased within these piercing beautiful eyes. It was evident she has always been royalty. Her name was Mui Lea but no one dared say her name.

The queen sat with a nasty expression on her face. She hated valencia and her mother. The woman who caused her shame and embarrassment. Even though Valencia's mother had long passed away. Her resent passed on to her daughter. Especially when she thought of how valencia was just like her mother. A homewrecker.

Her oldest daughter was to be married to a genius cultivator from The Lightning Sect, a 3rd-grade sect. 4rd great sects were powerful existences with peak nascent soul experts. There were only 2 4th-grade sects within the area. No one dared to go against them.

The cultivator had fancied her daughter but who would have thought that he would change his mind in the end after running into valencia. He showed no further interest in the other princess and that enraged the queen greatly. Even though it was not intentional all the queen saw valencia's mother

A pensive look flashed on her face and then it was anger. "How dare she try to steal my daughter's man" "Like mother, like daughter".

She wanted to kill valencia herself like how she got rid of her mother but she didn't want to anger the cultivator. She had to make it seem like an accident and completely detached from her.

The servant stayed there knelt on the floor in complete silence. He knew what happened to the last servant who spoke out of turn in front of the queen.

"Go! I want to hear about her every movement. if you get a chance outside of the palace, do not hesitate to bring me her head"

"Yes, my queen!" The servant shouted as he hastily left the room.

Meanwhile, all this was going on. Valencia was miles away from the palace.

She had completely known all the ins and outs of the palace. She had always stayed away from all her sisters and brother. She knew from an early age that she was different plus they were very mean to her. This one time her brother cut off all of her hair, they hit her and berate her. She had a very sad life growing up ever since her mom died but she was still a caring and happy child

Ever since her last kidnapping attempt. She has become extremely careful. She wouldn't even alarm her bodyguard when she was leaving. As a princess, she was given a bodyguard for protection but for a lack of a better word. he wasn't very capable but he was the only person that was nice to her. She did not know why someone would try to kidnap her. She had always kept a low profile.

a normal girl her age would be scared shitless but she was not gonna let it ruin her and if she was gonna get kidnapped she was not gonna make it easy.

Normally, she would just hide out in her room all day out of fear but now everything would change.

She knew not to take the direct route so she decided to take her shortcut through the forest. She also knew the forest like that back of her hand she wasn't afraid.

As she was making her way through the forest, she heard loud sounds of people fighting. She stopped abruptly and instantly hid. She didn't know what was going on she didn't want to get into it. She wanted to turn around and run but now the sound was too close to her location. she decided to calm down and then the thought hit her, there might be someone there that needed help.

It took a full 30 minutes for the sounds to stops. She was a little anxious so she decided to wait 15 more minutes. She slowly made her way out of her hiding spot and to the site but she made sure to still keep herself hidden.

She had never seen so much destruction. There were broken trees everywhere and certain parts of the earth were scarred black.

"This was not a fight between mortals." she thought in bewilderment. She has never witness cultivators fight but the fights between her sisters and brother never caused such mess and ruckus.

She continued to look around. She noticed a pool of blood and a trail of blood leading to a tree. It was then she noticed the slumped figure leaning on the tree with a sword embedded into her stomach.

A small shriek left her mouth. Her hands immediately went to cover her mouth. her eyes trembled as she looked at the figure up and down.

She wanted to immediately run away because this was way over her head.

She immediately turned around to leave leave but then she heard the lady's voice

"he….lp …. Help …. me please!"

Boom

LEVEL: 2/20

Her dress had started to flutter. The energy in had risen a level. It was the same feeling she got when she was receiving the blessing.

"How pleasant," she said with a smile on her face. She hadn't technically helped anyone yet the energy inside her had increased.

Then her face changed. Her body was more sensitive so she could sense a weird feeling coming from the woman's direction. It was a terrible feeling. she herself was used to this feeling. it was despair. the same feelings she felt when her mother died

"Is this her feelings?" She felt pain with endless regrets. There was anger. Tears began to slowly flow out her eyes. She had to do something. She could hear the woman's ragged breathing. It was soft but to valencia, it was clear as day.

She turned to the woman and slowly made her way over. The closer she got the more the stronger the feelings got and the clearer the view of the woman. Her body was bloody and filled with wounds

"Who would do this to a woman?" Valencia thought. she looked no older than 16

"I am so sorry for what you're going through. I know you're in pain. She sounded as if she was very familiar with the woman. She knelt before the woman. Somehow she knew the woman wouldn't pose a threat to her.

She wanted to console her. She stretched out her hand to move the disheveled hair from her face. She knew she was not long for this world As soon as her finger touched the woman's face. Her body started to glow. Valencia wasn't alarmed.

She was too caught up with the woman's emotions. She thought it was reacting to the woman's pain. The white energy was flowing into the woman's body. If valencia was paying attention. She would have realized that the woman's once lifeless eyes started to glow.

the glow slowly intensified. the woman's body started to slowly heal.

A good amount of time passed, it was unclear why but through the whole process tears kept falling from Valencias face. To valencia's surprise, the once lifeless woman started to move.

She jumped away screaming like a scared cat. she was about to run away but the lady acted fast. her voice stronger than before.

"Wait, young Miss please don't run away. I didn't mean to startle you!". The woman said hurriedly

Valencia was surprised. One minute the woman was dying the next she was moving around. Her eyes then trailed to the sword still stuck in the woman's body and she slowly began to back away.
