Chapter 6

Jai's POV

Telling him we are time travelers would have had me beheaded but I still didn't think he would believe the story I made up.

looking at how you are still breathing, I guess he spared us, Jenny said walking in my room in different clothes

Yes it seems like, what did you tell them? I questioned.

You smell nice by the way, she commented., before answering my question.

I know, they added roses to the water with herbals...

You had roses?

yes why? you didn't have any?

No just herbals, and I thought I would get the princess Treatment.

Stop complaining, its your fault we got caught in the first place, I need help with the Hangal, I have,no idea how to wear it.

let me help you, the color suits your complexion.

Thank you

I wasn't complimenting, you don't need to feel special

Too late, am blushing already, by the way what did you tell them, during the interrogation. asking her again

Ha! I told him mother gave birth to us like this, one dark and the other white, she explained

No way I said the same thing, but he didn't believe me at first so i cried a little and told him about the tattoos

I know you should have seen how emotional I got when talking about the sun and star shining side by side its,the only thing that connects us, those acting lessons really paid off and who would have thought the tattoos would be useful, father was so mad he about it.

I remember,he beat us so bad we couldn't seat for a week, ( laughed a little). speaking of father, where did he send us, this looks nothing like the ming dynasty.

I was hoping you might know you are the nerd here, jenny said, making the rabbit ears with her fingers.

Rude, but judging by everything I think we ended up in the cing dynasty.

oh so you know something what happened during the cing dynasty?

I only read two chapters, i never finished it. But I think you read all of it,you always carried the book with you what happened there? I asked

Well I only read the, uh the ending, the Last paragraph to be specific,

we are dead then, I said

most likely, she replied but we can always think of something, Right?

Our conversation was stopped when someone knocked at the door

Come in, Jenny answered.

My masters have requested for your presence to the dining area if you are both done changing.

Is there food?, I found myself asking without realizing it.

Yes , the food has already been served, the maid replied and lend the way to the dining room, through a large courtyard with flowers neatly placed. The yard had an open area under the sky that looked like a training area with tables on each side. some candle lamps hanging on the roof from one end to the other making it bright enough, we passed a few more rooms others that looked like study rooms full of scrolls, at the end of the corridor was a big room with tables full of food and two men seated already, being able to recognize one of them who they addressed as General.

upon our entrance, the maid showed us to the tables were Jenny sat across me, and I sat next to the General with the other man across him.

You may begin the man across me said, signaling that we could eat as if guess how hungry i am.

The food was so good, Jenny couldn't even look up, on the hand I was busy mixing the food being rewarded with the different taste I got each time.

If you continue mixing your food like that, you will have ingestion, the General said.

Don't mind her, she likes to experiment on everything, Jenny said with her mouth full of food.

Don't you think you need to swallow before you talk, The man beside Jenny commented

Hey! ..Mind your business, Jenny responded, don't start with your talking, your interrogations where enough for a day let me eat in peace.

I have a name, not Hey!, they started to argue. Its Jun! I said it a number of times already

Like I care, Jenny replied without backing out.

As much as I liked the tension, Jenny wasn't someone to let things slid, I needed to stop her before we end back in prison.

So his Jun, and what about you? I don't think you introduced yourself yet. I asked getting everyone's attention

Am jin he responded with so much confidence. Are you enjoying your food?

Yes thank you for keeping us here, I responded politely

Am only doing this, till you prove you are not the enemy, keeping you in prison would have been better but I needed to keep an eye on both of you, so don't do anything reckless or you heads will be hanging by the city gates, he said so bluntly

Or you could pretend to be nice, I said focusing on my food again.
