chapter 2 of 2
Yu stepped in, greeting his parents, his mother smiled as she saw him.
'How's the girl doing?' she said, 'She's doing good mother,' she seemed relieved at his answer, as his father stay silent.
He knew that Niu wasn't out of the woods, he did indeed save her for from being killed, but the simple fact was that she broke into the place. At this point whatever his father decide was out his hands.
'She had just woken up; she was not aware on how she got inside the estate when I questioned.
'Ask the family doctor to check on her and give her another check.' Then we will send her on her way, since she does not know how she came here, there is no need to punish her.' His father says.
He was just going to let her go like that, he didn't know if he should be happy or worried, the girl didn't even know where she was, how would she survive on her own.
'Father, I have to ask you something and I hope you grant it.' The king holds up his hand, 'don't tell me, he says rubbing his temples of his head, he knew his kids better than anyone.
The king looked disappointed as he rose from his thrown,
'You nor your brothers will never learn, would you?' he raised his voice, but Yu remained in his place. After a moment he gives in, 'if you want her to stay, she stays, as long as any harm doesn't come to anyone in this mansion.'
Yu thanks his father leaving, heading back to the room finding it empty, where could she have gone, he asked himself as he went out. asking everyone have they seen her, but every answer remain the same.
Niu had an uneasy feeling as she followed the maid, they have been walking for quite some time, The woman said no words as she led her down the long hall.
'Um miss, are you done showing me around the place, it seems really lovely.' Niu tries to make small talk, but the maid didn't reply to none of the answers.
'Did you hear what I asked,' Niu kept talking as the woman held the knife in front of her, thinking of a right time when to strike.
Niu moved out the way just in time while the woman swung but missed many times, the woman then lost her balance falling on to the ground.
this gave Niu a chance to go find help, but it wasn't long till she saw the woman behind her, not watching where she was going Niu tripped fall on to the floor, grabbing her arm that seemed to be in pain, her eyes shot to the woman that stood not too far from her.
Ever step the woman took Niu scooted Back trying had to keep the distance between them, but it didn't work.
Closing her eyes, she waited for the woman to attack, but nothing happened. she opened her eyes seeing black hair woman and a young man fighting.
Hopping to her feet this gave her the opportunity to make a run for it. She ran with her arm held tightly near her chest not watching where she was going, she ran right into something hard, hands caught her.
looking up relief washed over her, seeing Yu. she collapses in his arms from exhaustion.
'Lil Sis what's the matter.' Yu asked, all she could do was look at him, she was unable to say a word. but it seemed like she was unable to speak, he gave her an overall look, once he saw her holding her arm, he knew she was hurt.
Without talking he followed her eyes as they shot down the hall, soon was followed by a loud cry, placing her on the floor, 'Stay here, don't move, he informs her,' she nods watching him leave.

'Husband, you've been staring out into space for quite some time tell me what are you thinking?
The king, hummed, before answering. 'it's just I don't want the same incident to happen that tore our family apart years ago.'
The queen clutched her husband's hand patted it softly. She could understand her husband's anxieties, and she was worried for her own children as well.
the incident that had produced a divide between their boys, the conversation was cut short when the door opened and in comes one of his servants, 'Your highness, there's danger in the mansion,' rising from his seat, the king orders to send the guards and make sure no harm comes to the people in the mansion. This took a toll on him, and he begin coughing.
'Honey, don't overwork yourself; just relax.' The queen tells him helping him take a seat. The king places his hand in both hands, 'this is something that I feared would happen,' he meant to say it to himself, but everyone heard.
