Daylight slowly tore through the morning sky, as Blood Feast assassins with silver masks covering half their faces finally reached the master bedroom of the Autumn Jade Courtyard. They kneeled before Liu Rushuang, then respectfully and confidently reported to their clan leader.
"Yesterday, whilst the man dressed in black entered the imperial palace and caused a commotion, we successfully assassinated the crown prince!"
Liu Rushuang gazed at the gradually rising sun out the window. There was a deep glow in her eyes and an evil smirk on the corners of her mouth. "Very well done. You may all return now," she said flatly.
"Yes, milady," they said before turning around to leave. Blood Feast assassins always executed Liu Rushuang's orders perfectly.
Standing to one side, Qing'Er turned to Liu Rushuang and asked, "Young Miss, why do you look so unhappy? You're going to get married today!"
