“War has started! We’ve been invaded. The soldiers are out fighting now. We need all the healers that we have to take care of the injured. Now follow me at once! Quickly!” the soldier yelled in as he rapidly gestured for us to follow him.We looked at each other before nodding in understanding. I couldn’t bring myself to believe it but if war was really here, then the soldier was right. We must follow him at once to set up the hospital and to tend to the injured.“Wait a moment while we grab our medical supplies!” Auntie cried out as the three of us grabbed all the necessary medicine and tools that we need.“We must hurry!” the soldier continued to bark at us.“Can you please help carry this?” I asked the soldier as I passed him a large backpack full of medical supplies.“Ok. Now, lets go!” the soldier ushered us firmly out the door.The cold wind blew harshly against my

“These are the demands from our Emperor. If the Town of Amber Leaves can agree to all of these conditions, we will accept your surrender and stop the battle,” Shin stated officially before reading out all the terms present in the scroll.The terms included very common terms such as taxes to be paid in money or as crops. Ability for the Empire to use and control the land and population as it sees fit. The condition for complete surrender and loyalty as part of the Flame Dragon Empire. All terms were common, and nothing stood out except for one in which Shin read with more emphasis than the rest. After all, this term was just recently added by the emperor himself less than a month prior to this.“As for the final condition, the Town of Amber Leaves agrees to send the most beautiful and talented virgin to represent the town as an ambassador. The ambassador will live in the Imperial palace for the rest of her life and serve the Empire in good faith. That

“Kamiya? She’s standing right there…” Uncle Gobei replied casually as he pointed in my direction. I froze. Why can’t they just leave me alone to tend to the injured and then I will just silently head home.“Kamiya! My dear girl…there you are. Please come with us, we have very good news to share with you!” the village head broke into a smile as he addressed me excitedly. I had to be a fool to not realize that something very suspicious was going on. No one in this village except for Uncle Gobei and Auntie would refer to me as ‘my dear girl’ and even if they did, they wouldn’t mean it. Under the same logic, the good news that they wanted to share with me must really be super bad news. I closed my eyes and breathed in deeply in resignation while I braced myself for what was to come. “Where are you taking her?” Uncle Gobei interrupted as he shielded me behind him

“You…come this way,” the senior eunuch said suddenly. “You mean…me?” I asked in slight confusion as I pointed to myself. Did he mean me? “Yes, you. Come here with me,” the eunuch replied in a desperate voice as he beckoned me to follow him with his hand. Hesitantly, I started to follow him. I didn’t know where he was leading me, but he was leading me away from the group of women. I looked back over my shoulder as the group of women walked further away in the other direction. Where is he taking me? “The Emperor has graciously decided to let you stay in the White Lotus palace. You should consider yourself extremely lucky to have earned yourself such a reward on your first day at the Grand Palace,” the eunuch explained as if to answer my unasked question. Not that I knew what the White Lotus palace is. As far as I was aware, the fact that Ren seemed to show some interest in me by simply ta

“Lastly, here is a small gift for you,” Auntie Chen said as she handed me a small bottle containing some liquid inside. “And this is…?” I asked as I hesitantly took the bottle from her hand. “This is a special oil that will enhance his pleasure and lessen the pain for you upon his entry into your love flower. Let me help you apply it in between your legs…” Auntie Chen calmly stated like this was and probably is the norm. Ok, so this thing oil is like lubrication. Not like I will be needing such thing because I am not going to engage in any sexual activities with Ren tonight or any other night. Auntie Chen approached me, and I recalled the rest of her words from just now. No! “No no no…I can apply the oil myself. Thank you…like really, thank you…” I quickly protested before this mad old woman proceeded with spreading my leg to apply the oil to my private area. This is crazy.
