Chapter 6

(Wu Zetain's Courtyard, Wu Residence, Imperial Capital)

(Time: 7:45 pm)

Hearing the sound of the Door opening Baio turned around and saw Wu Zetain and she said "My lady, you came back".

Wu Zetain hummed and said "Yes" and she further said, "How's the Dog?"

"My Lady, the dog is fine now, it's awake right now," said Baio.

"Oh! I will take a look at it" Wu Zetain said.

"Sure My Lady, I will prepare your bed till then," Baio said.

Wu Zetain walked towards her Study room and stood in front of the books rack and picked few certain books out and suddenly the study table moved from its place. And a path leading downstairs opened.

She went downstairs.

She saw that the dog was awake and was walking around the room observing things. When it saw Wu Zetain it became alert.

Wu Zetain saw that and walked slowly towards it and caressed him slowly. Seeing no harmful intention coming from the lady, the dog started smelling her.

Afterward, Wu Zetain went towards the bed and sat on it. The dog came and sat beside her.

Wu Zetain asked, "How are you, if you feel fine then bark one, and if not then bark twice."

((Bark))

"Hmm so feeling fine, where is your owner do you know?" Wu Zetain asked.

"Bark" the dog barked once.

"See, I am going out tomorrow morning when I come back then I will take you to your owner," Wu Zetain said.

The dog barked once.

"You sleep here. Make sure no one knows that you are here." Wu Zetain said.

The dog barked once again.

Remembering the belt on the dog's neck, Wu Zetain went to remove it and she further said "Let me check whether your owner has mentioned something to identify him".

Wu Zetain removed the belt easily and started checking it. She saw that a symbol was engraved in it. When she saw the symbol she was shocked and the belt fell from her hand.

Seeing her like this the dog started barking.

Hearing the bark Wu Zetain recovered from the shock and went to pick the fallen belt.

Wu Zetain again saw the belt and she saw a name engraved in it. She asked, "Is your name Inu?"

The dog barked once and started nodding.

"So I will also call you Inu from today," Wu Zetain said.

The dog barked once as if he was happy.

Wu Zetain tied the belt in the dog's neck.

"Sleep, Baio will take care of you. I will see you later." Wu Zetain said to the dog.

Then she started walking towards the path leading towards the study room.
