A WELCOME "HOME"

"My God, it's a pleasure to finally meet you, he always talks about you in his letters, thank you very much for always watching his back"

"On the contrary, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't even have to eat or possibly she was already dead, I am the one who owes her the loss."

Mr. Huo turned to see Xue "that you plan to stay bowed all the time, she raises her small face"

Xue raised her face, but her face did not show any expression, she was with a serious expression

"no, but no one indicated to me that she could raise it"

everyone started laughing "we are not in the army you don't need to be so formal"

"They are simple manners, I grew up that way"

Mrs. Huo approached "you don't want to come in and take a bath, I don't think it's like you're full of mud and wounds"

Xue made no comment, only she stayed still. Mr. Huo took her wife by her arm "I think that to invite her to take a bath we first have to go into the house"

"Oh yes, go ahead, make yourself at home"

The first son of Mr. Huo said "that girl is the one who is so famous in the apital for entering the army at 7 years old voluntarily, she does not know how she could live so long, she looks quite thin"

Xue followed them as they walked towards the main hall of the residence.

"If you doubt her abilities, you can face a duel with her tomorrow and if you win, I'll give you whatever you want."

Xing Xin opened his eyes "Are you serious anything I want?"

"Yes, but let me tell you that four years ago she beat General Yu"

"Four years ago, but General Yu is recognized for being really skilled with the sword and in martial arts"

"That's right, but you haven't seen Coronel Xue yet"

"coronel?"

"So is Coronel Xue"

The three sons turned to see Xue and couldn't understand how she could be a war colonel.

They all entered the room and sat down. Xue stood in the corner of the place, as if she was standing guard.

"Little one, don't you think to sit down?"

"No sir, I hope it is not considered disrespectful but from the fall my uniform is very dirty and I do not want to dirty the seats"

"Darling, you don't have to worry, you're our guest, but if you want, you can go change and take a bath, we'll wait for you for dinner, do you think?"

There was a small glint in Xue's eyes "thank you, if it's not a nuisance I'll take the option of taking a bath"

Miss Huo asked one of the servants from her residence to accompany her to settle in her room and to prepare a bath for her.

Xue along with a maid who appeared to be young left the room.

"you seem to be tense, don't worry, the lady is very sweet"

"I am not used to interacting with people, I have not been in a home for a long time, and the memories I have of it are painful and distant"

"If she allows me to ask, why is that?"

"my parents died at the beginning of the war so I decided to join the army"

"sorry to ask"

"You don't have to worry about that, my story is not a secret"

"Still, but I have to say I thought you were more serious"

"because?"

"Well, you have an aura of danger around you and you are always wearing a serious face"

"It is the custom to do it, you cannot go with a smile in times of war, and a friend died recently"
