Just as Maya knocked on Sandra's apartment doors in the Spirit Realm after being called by her, she was quickly pulled inside by her sleeve and dragged towards the cutely decorated bedroom. Sandra quickly sat Maya on her large pink bed and called out in surprise, "Maya, you won't believe what just happened!" 
Seeing the happiness and excitement on her best friend's face, Maya smiled and give herself a chance in reading Sandra's mind, "Let me guess. Was it Devil Face that just invited you for a date?" 
She looked dumbfounded and her wish to see a shocked Maya quickly crumbled as she asked unhappily, "Wait, how did you know? I wanted to surprise you..." 
Maya giggled and answered as if it was obvious, "You are holding a letter? Also, there is nothing else that could make you so excited other than a date with your lover, hehe." 
Naturally, Sandra who had a hard to show her true feelings, snickered and called out loud, "Pfft, lover? He wishes! I hate him to the core! Lover? Never!" 
Although she said so, in her mind, she was actually considering, asking herself, 'But what if this happens…?' Each time she thought of Devil Face, his handsome face was resurfacing like a ghost, haunting her innocent mind. She wasn't dumb but rather the opposite. Still, even though she knew that she should at least try to test her feelings, it was still impossible for her to admit the truth. 
Maya laughed as she pulled Sandra onto the bed before rolling with her a bit as she questioned, "Then why were you just jumping like a little fawn after tasting her first tuft of grass? Don't lie to me, I know you are excited about this date more than you show." 
Sandra didn't hide her enthusiasm anymore but still did not admit to liking Devil Face, "Tsk, so what? I'm only excited cause I will finally get a chance to scold him properly. You forced me to this date so I might as well enjoy it..." 
Maya didn't want to push her too much so she finally calmed down the situation, asking curiously, "Okay, okay, it is all on me then. Now tell me, what did he say in the letter?" 
Knowing that Sandra was so excited, Maya expected that Devil Face sent a nice letter but then she saw Sandra change her expression and say while glancing at the unpacked letter, "I don't know…" 
This made Maya roll her eyes and question, "What? You still didn't open it? How do you know he invited you then?" Although they were Spirits, inside the Spirit Realm they didn't have X-ray vision. 
"It was sent from him…" Sandra commented as she checked the sender once again, seeing Devil Face's signature on the top and she clenched her first as she warned under her breath, "It better be an invitation for a date or else I will for sure beat him up…" 
"Haha," Maya laughed happily, knowing Sandra would do exactly that and hurried her, being curious herself, "Alright, open and see. I want to know what he wrote too."
"Mhmm, it smells like roses and the paper is so nice…" Sandra remarked as she took a big whiff of the letter but just as she was about it open it, her hands froze and she couldn't finish the move. For some reason, she was really anxious about that, not knowing what to expect and quickly pass the letter to Maya to, pleading sweetly, "Maya, please, can you open it for me?" 
Seeing the puppy eyes that Sandra made and the letter that she presented with both hands, Maya couldn't reject her, exhaling helplessly, "Sigh, fine, give it to me."
She took the letter and didn't hesitate to unpack it, pulling out a neat piece of paper in pink colour. Maya immediately smelled a nice flowery scent coming out of the letter and complimented the boys out loud, "Not bad. I bet it was Wuxing who thought of this idea. There is no way Devil Face is this thoughtful."
"Do you want to look at it toget—" She asked curiously but then realised that Sandra was already sitting while hugging her two long legs tightly, squeezing her favourite pillow in between on her belly and thighs. She was already waiting for her to speak so Maya forgot about the question she wanted to ask and changed her mind, saying, "Okay, never mind. I will read it out loud." 
"Thank you, Maya…" Sandra naturally thanked her as she knew it would be hard for her to do it herself and waited anxiously. There was this feeling inside her stomach as if someone was skewing it left and right even though she ate not long ago. 
Just then, Maya glanced at the letter inside and noticed the neat words written in cursive right away.  She couldn't help but call out in amazement, "Oh Whoa… This is indeed an invitation for the date… So romantic, I envy you…" She was born playful so she naturally had to tease Sandra some more, making her regret not reading the letter herself. 
Sandra quickly frowned and pouted while asking hurriedly, "What did he write? What did he write? Stop teasing me…" 
She was getting more and more impatient with each second but that still didn't make her steal the letter and read it herself. With her best friend next to her Sandra was more at ease. It was her first date after all. 
"Hah, okay, let me read." Maya only laughed and finally began reading.
Dear Lovely Sandra…

One hour earlier, when Wuxing finally returned to his apartment, he heard a cry coming from Devil Face, showing how desperate he was, 'Ah! You told me to message her but what do I write??? I have been trying to write a letter but it is always so bad…'
Wuxing rolled his eyes as he asked curiously, "You have been away for the last few hours. Did you spend it all on writing a letter…?" For him it was a job that required a few minutes, not hours. 
Devil Face felt useless as he admitted quietly, "Yeah… I suck at this…" 
Wuxing put down his chicken wing that he ordered as he felt pity for him and asked, "What did you manage to write?"

Thank you so much for the support and love... Myself, James..(pen name, obviously)... am glad to see that it has been short time when I started covering the stories to my own interests and still, got out of flow and left writing them, just to pursue my own job and personal trivial matters. Being an animator myself, I write as a hobby, a passion, a way to describe the world's that I have always wanted to see but yet to be discovered by anyone else around our own multiverse( yes... I'm a multiverse loving person... I hope you are too!!) It has been harsh and the time I have went through with has changed some aspects of what or how I write. I do aim for a bigger platform, I do dream of ever getting published, yet, I write Because I love my worlds. And only I can share the visions of my multiple universes with my fellow mates reading this. I hope this letter reaches out to you in good form and shape, and from now onwards, I will try my best to obtain 1 chapter per 1-2 weeks maximum. Because it's a bit harsh, yet I do it because, I love my worlds. I love the people on the other side going through my stories and making it their own. I deeply apologize for all the inconveniences caused due to no uploads. And I'll try my best to upload and progress the stories ASAP (I'm trying my best at the least).  Thank you so much for your time and patience. I love you all, my fellow readers😘😘😘(regardless of gender roles)... thank you!!!!



I promise to make your time worth it😁😁😁
with love,
James, the wanderer of multiverse
(I know it sounds so lame, but I love it...)..

One person holding on two worlds together,
What Happens when both collide??

The beginning of a universe, or the multiverse as to speak... Open for more connections to every single possibilities to exist.

"Austern is the center of culture and fashion, but it has a very small artistic community. Right now, I think there's almost no activity by new artists, other than the existing ones."
 
Julietta handed Oswald a cultural business plan she had prepared. "Many people oppose it, saying that sponsoring artists by the imperial family is wasting tax money. So, I want the Duke of Oswald to step up to the front and discover the artists and support their activities. Of course, I'll cover the entire cost."
 
Oswald's eyes twinkled, moved by this action. "You've also noticed this Oswald's long-cherished desire. Please leave it to me and watch. In the future peaceful era, the country with the cultural power will dominate the continent. Right now, even if Austern is at the forefront of the continent, it may soon be caught."
 
Oswald was excited and preached about his dream. Julietta nodded and replied favorably, "That's a very wise idea. It's just like you said. Therefore, please do me the favor."
 
"Do you have any other plans?"
 
"What do you mean?"
 
"I don't believe you're devoted to child care. You won't just step forward. I know you're planning a lot of things."
 
"I will talk to you after I tell His Majesty the Emperor first. He may not allow it."
 
At Julietta's words, Oswald shook his hand as if that were nonsense. "There is no way he would object to what the Empress is doing. By the way, please ease the anger of His Majesty. I've been dreading his countenance for a year already because of that jewel on your neck."
 
"Who's angry?" Killian stood behind Oswald and asked tightly.
 
"Oh, no. I have to go now because I've got an urgent matter to attend to."
 
After a year, he could finally have his spare time. Oswald gently dropped his report where Julietta pointed and disappeared, terrified that Killian would give him another job.
 
Killian approached Julietta without even looking at Oswald and kissed her on the lips. "I'm here for a while, defeating the Duke of Haint's request for lunch. Compliment me."
 
"Good job." As Julietta praised Philip, she patted Killian's buttocks.
 
"I want another compliment besides this, I…" Killian quietly uttered, lowering his lips down Julietta's neck, but as if he had waited for the moment, Luar burst into a loud cry in the next room. Killian grumbled when Julietta got up with a push. "Who does our second son's personality resemble? He cries very loud and his temper is not very normal."
 
Julietta snorted as she entered the room where Luar was staying. "It's just the way you look, your personality is. Philip looks like me, so he's gentle."
 
Killian looked regretfully at the room had Julietta entered, and asked the waiting Ian. "Will the third child be fifty-fifty, since the first resembles Julietta and the second resembles me? How pretty a daughter like that would be! But pregnancy and childbirth are so hard that it's too much for her. I felt like I'd gone to the entrance to Hell this time with Luar."
 
Julietta had little trouble with her first child, Philip, but she had two days of hard labor for her second child, Luar. Killian didn't want to repeat that terrible time.
 
Ian hesitated for a moment and answered with courage. "A Prince may be born who looks more like no one than a half-half one."
 
At Ian's answer, Killian slapped his knee. "I see. I didn't think of that. Yeah, I can finally get over it. Thank you, Ian. I think you are getting more and more like Albert, but that's just my feeling. Isn't it?"
 
Ian calmly replied that he would never look like Albert. "Yes, that can't be. Shall we bring the meal?"
 
As he left the room to bring a meal, Killian's head, looking at Ian's back, tilted slightly to one side. Because he felt like he saw a white handkerchief sticking out of Ian's right pocket. "I must have seen nothing. I've been overworked lately."
 
Killian leaned his head against the couch and convinced himself that he was tired and saw nothing.

A Letter of Misfortune and Murder in the Back Room
 
Luar, the second Prince of the Austern Empire, turned eleven years old this year, came back from playing at his friend Iron Lazar's house and was eating snacks. Vera found a letter in his pocket while she was cleaning up his jacket and put it down on the table.
 
"You can throw it away. Iron plays with it."
 
Drinking tea next to him, Julietta asked, "What kind of a practical joke is that?"
 
"He said that it's a letter of misfortune. If I don't send it to five people, bad luck will come… It's like that."
 
Julietta burst out laughing at Luar's words. 'Oh, my God, there's a letter of misfortune here, too. I guess the places where people live are the same.'
 
"Luar, you are praiseworthy. When most people get a letter like that, they get nervous and send it to someone else."
 
"Yes. Iron was wondering who to give it to. So I got one."
 
The letter of misfortune that Luar had received was thus abandoned by Vera. They thought it was someone's practical joke and didn't take it seriously.
 
But that evening. Luar, who did not get sick easily, got suddenly fevered and said that he had a headache, and frightened people.

---
 
"He's all right. There is nothing serious and the fever's normal now."
 
Fortunately, as the royal physician said, the fever, which had suddenly risen, quickly fell as if nothing had happened, and Luar fell asleep.
 
The next morning, Julietta said, sweeping down her son's cheek. "Don't go out today and stay calm. I told your teachers that I will postpone your class until tomorrow."
 
Luar's expression became gloomy when she said he would not study, but couldn't go out.
 
"Iron is coming to play this afternoon. So, stay in bed until then."
 
Julietta asked Manny on the bed to keep an eye on her son and went outside.
 
--------------------

"It's because of the letter. It's not too late, so let's write it down and send it to someone. Let me help you. You only need to send six."
 
Iron was of the same age as Luar, and he came much earlier than he had promised, saying that he missed today's fencing class.
 
"Somebody's been carrying a practical joke around. There's no such thing as a letter of misfortune."
 
Iron lowered his voice when Luar snorted and refused to deal with him. "No, I thought it might be just a joke, just like you said, until yesterday. But the butler fell down the stairs this morning and sprained his foot."
 
Luar blinked at Iron's words. "What does the butler's fall have to do with the letter?"
 
"It's a problem because I gave it to the butler."
 
Luar's eyes grew at Iron's reply.
 
"You're uncomfortable hearing that, aren't you? So, let's write it down quickly."

Iron brought a letter paper and a pen to his desk, ready to write for himself.
 
"No. I don't want to write a letter of misfortune with the emblem of the imperial court. It's a coincidence that the butler fell. It can't be because of the letter of misfortune."
 
As Luar hated it, Iron couldn't help but bring the letter back and spoke in an unassailable manner. "Yes, it's a coincidence, isn't it? I think so, too."
 
---

"Luar, this time my nanny cut her hand while cutting fruit, and the wagon driver almost got killed by a horse."
 
The next day, the pale Iron came to visit Luar early in the morning.
 
Because today was a day for history and math class, Luar, who was pretending to be sick in bed for another day, jumped up. "What? Did you give a letter to your nanny and the wagon driver?"
 
"Yes. Yesterday in the horse-riding class..." Iron blurred his words with a guilty face.
 
"Is it really not a coincidence? A letter of misfortune hurt a person! You're saying they were under a spell?"
 
Luar stood up suddenly after a moment of agony. "I have to tell my mom. If the letter of misfortune is real, my mom will solve it."
 
With a very urgent look, Luar ran the corridor of the main castle to get to the office where Julietta was.
 
Running behind him, Iron grumbled. "Panting… there will be nothing she can do, no matter how great the Empress is. Please go slowly. I'm out of breath."

----
 
The private office of the Empress…
 
Julietta greeted the cute kids with a big smile s they suddenly burst into her office.
 
"A man was hurt by a letter of misfortune?" She burst out laughing at what her son had said.
 
"It can't be. That's a superstition and a joke."
 
"Maybe it's a letter made by a magician or a priest?"

Julietta, born as an illegitimate child of a nobility, is raised in an opera theatre to hide away from the eyes of the noble's main wife.
To pay back her debt, she turns into a servant and challenges the high paying job that nobody could withstand.
But her special charm could not be hidden with clothing, as she catches the attention of the crown prince. Unlike other woman who flock to him, she was brutally honest. But why was he so bothered by her?

After that, He Ying asked Lu Zhou a lot of questions on behalf of the audience, and Lu Zhou responded to them one by one.
This included how controllable fusion technology would affect the lives of ordinary people.
And what kind of positive impacts the energy breakthrough would have on the nation's economy.
Also, Lu Zhou's own personal future plans…
Of course, Lu Zhou obviously didn't talk about any sensitive technology topics.
Once they were done with the interview, some people would edit the content of the program before the program would be officially broadcasted. They would edit out those sensitive topics.
Of course, since these things were handled by the professional production team, Lu Zhou didn't have to worry about it.
In the second half of the interview, during the audience interactive session, an 11-year-old girl walked on stage. She stood next to Lu Zhou while holding a large bouquet of clove pinks. 
She stared at Lu Zhou with her big, bright eyes as she handed out the bouquet in her hand.
"My teacher told us that you should put the flowers in a vase, next to your bedside table. This will make you feel better. Grandpa said that you used knowledge to help a lot of people, he wants you to get better. Also, I want to become a scientist like you when I grow up…"
It wasn't easy for the little girl to say all this, especially while holding a large bunch of flowers.
The young girl took a deep breath. She looked absolutely adorable.
"Thank you for your clove pink!"
Lu Zhou smiled and took the flowers from her hand. Even though he knew this was probably arranged by the show production team, he still smiled and said gratuitously, "Smelling the flower is already making me feel a lot better. Remember to tell your teacher I said thank you!"
The little girl blushed and nodded. She then turned around and ran off stage.
The audience erupted in applause.
In the midst of the applause, the show also came to an end.
Lu Zhou left the studio and went into the green room.
After He Ying expressed her gratitude to Lu Zhou on behalf of the production team, she continued to speak, "Professor Lu, are you free later?"
Lu Zhou: "Why, what's up?"
He Ying smiled and said, "Nothing much, I just wanted to grab food with you or something."
"Let's get food another day. I'm afraid Doctor Yan won't let me eat anything before I leave the hospital," Lu Zhou said with a smile.
Yan Yan, who was standing behind him, didn't say anything. However, she obviously agreed.
Even though she didn't have the power to control Lu Zhou's actions, as his personal doctor, she was still responsible for all of his health concerns.
Even though He Ying was a little disappointed, she still smiled. "Okay then, another day it is."
After Lu Zhou left the TV studio, he went back into his car. He was surprised to find out that the 301 Hospital guards that followed him here were gone. Instead, in came Wang Peng, who he hadn't seen for three days.
Lu Zhou was sitting in the back seat. He looked at the familiar face through the rearview mirror and said, "I thought you went home for the holidays."
Wang Peng made a helpless expression.
"No holidays for me, I'll probably lose my end-of-year bonus as well."
Forget about the end-of-year bonus.
If it weren't for his previous excellent record, he would be in even more trouble right now.
He had been constantly berated by the higher-ups over the past few days.
"No end-of-year bonus? Why…" Lu Zhou suddenly realized something and awkwardly said, "It's not because of me, right?"
Wang Peng smiled and didn't say anything.
It was quite difficult for him to answer this question.
Of course, he didn't complain about the punishment. After all, it was his job to protect Lu Zhou. And now, it seemed like he had failed his job.
However, Lu Zhou, who knew the real reason of why he was sick, felt somewhat guilty. After all, he wasn't poisoned or malnourished into a coma or something. It was purely because he leveled up his discipline. His brain couldn't handle the information overload… 
Lu Zhou decided he should do something to compensate for this.
"Oh, I see, I'll write a letter for you and explain the situation to the higher-ups."
Wang Peng was suddenly anxious, and he said, "Oh please don't, please don't do this."
Lu Zhou said, "No, this isn't your fault. It's mainly because I didn't take care of my body…"
Suddenly, Yan Yan interrupted him.
"His department has rules and regulations. If someone said that he made a mistake, then he made a mistake. There's no debate about that… If you really write a letter for him, not only will it not help him, but it will give him more trouble."
She was also punished in the same regard.
The reason why she wasn't fired from her current position was that 301 Hospital couldn't find any evidence of malnourishment.
This was also the reason why Wang Peng was able to get his job back. There was simply no evidence of sabotage.
Even though Yan Yan's father was a veteran, she didn't get any type of special treatment.
And she never expected Lu Zhou to get her out of this trouble.
Lu Zhou began to realize the situations they were in, so he decided not to write the letter.
Even though he still felt kind of guilty, it was what it was.
At most, he would just compensate them later…
Lu Zhou returned to 301 Hospital and was about to go upstairs for his daily medical checkup. However, when he walked into the main building, he saw Academician Wang waiting at the front entrance.
Academician Wang's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Zhou, and he smiled as he walked over.
"How are you? Do you feel better?"
"I feel a lot better." Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It's almost Chinese New Year. Are you not going back to your hometown?"
"I was born and raised in Beijing, where am I supposed to go? My hometown is one metro stop away." When Academician Wang saw that Lu Zhou could walk on his own, he nodded in relief. He said, "I'm relieved that your condition is getting better. You have no idea how many people were worried about you." 
Lu Zhou smiled awkwardly and said, "I feel really bad."
"Don't say that! We're the ones who should be feeling bad." Academician Wang sighed and said, "Controllable fusion isn't an easy thing to accomplish. Especially when it comes to coordinating various research departments. Most of the critical research projects were done by you alone. Honestly… I and the old guys at the Chinese Academy of Sciences feel quite guilty."
"I'm just doing my best, no big deal." Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Plus, my health is getting a lot better now."
Academician Wang sighed and said, "I'm glad you think that way. Also, there's one thing I have to tell you. While you were in a coma, we tried to achieve fusion ignition a couple more times. The STAR-2 demonstration reactor is looking good. The higher-ups personally made demands to implement the grid connection and supply electricity to the 80 million residents in the Jiangsu province!"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It's going to be connected? That's fantastic!"
Academician Wang smiled and said, "Yeah, it's really amazing. I didn't expect to live to see this day. But, there's another favor I have to ask you."
Lu Zhou frowned and said, "Is there a problem with the demonstration reactor?"
That's not possible!
Even the system recognized the success of the fusion ignition.
"It's not the demonstration reactor." Academician Wang quickly explained, "It's just that after it's connected to the grid, we can't keep calling it its code name, right? After all, this is the world's first demonstration reactor. The higher-ups asked us for a new name. I don't really care about these kinds of things, so I'm asking you, the chief designer."
Academician Wang smiled and said, "How about you think of a beautiful name for the reactor? If you really can't think of anything, you can use your own name. This is a good opportunity to leave your name in history."
"Let's not use my name. It sounds weird." Lu Zhou coughed and said, "I'll think about it."
Academician Wang said, "Okay then, you think about it. I have a couple of examples here."
Lu Zhou: "What examples do you have?"
"Oh, like Houyi, Jinwu, Daohuozhe, Suiren, etcetera. There's also the more westernized Prometheus. These were all decided through votes by the people in the army department. You can decide which one you like." 
After thinking for a long time, Lu Zhou said, "Let's call it Pangu[1]."
Academician Wang: "Pangu?"
"Yeah." Lu Zhou nodded.
He had actually thought about this for a while.
Not only would the controllable fusion breakthrough revolutionize the energy industry, but it would change the entire world.
In some sense, the birth of this demonstration reactor was the second creation of the world.
"If you think that's a good name, then so be it." Academician Wang smiled and said, "Okay then, I'm not going to stay here for long. I'll submit this name to the higher-ups and you should get some rest. The people at the demonstration reactor site are still waiting for your return. We still haven't hosted a fusion ignition celebration party yet. We've been looking forward to this for the whole of last year."
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.
"Ok, I promise we'll have the party soon."

"Hello?"

"Soo! Have you seen the views of our videos yet?"

"Nope. Why?"

"Check it now! It has gone crazy! The number is so unbelievable."

Soo who just woke up quickly took his laptop and opened the MyTube website. He looked at the video he uploaded last night and saw the number of views

"WTF! How come there are so many views?"

"Right. Why are there so many views? Did you buy them?"

"You know how much money I have. How can I pay for the views."

Soo looked at the numbers again and again. He refreshed the website, and the numbers have increased. The video he uploaded last night has about a hundred thousand. It was unusual for his first video. Usually, for a new broadcaster, their views would not reach this number on their first videos even after a few days. Soo looked at the comments and was quite pleased by the pleasant comments about his songs. Some of the commenters also requested them to do a live broadcast.

"Sae Ah, do you want to do live broadcast? There are quite many people requesting for live broadcast, what do you think?"

"Of course! I will do it!"

"Then let's do the live broadcast this Saturday, are you fine with it?. We also need to prepare a few more songs to be released. When are you free?"

"I'm always free. I can record anytime."

"Then, let's meet tomorrow to record a few more songs."

"Alright, see you tomorrow."

"See you."

Soo, who saw that his project was doing well fall into deep thought.
He was thinking about whether he should resign from his day job. Even though he was often bullied, the treatment from the company was not bad. He received numbers of bonuses, and the pay was not bad. But, he has long hours of work time. After thinking for some time, he resolved himself to resign from the company. He opened the writing program on his laptop and started typing his letter of resignation. He printed it out and put it in an envelope and wrote resignation letter on top. He prepared himself up and went to the company, but this time he did not go to his station. He directly went to the Human Resources department and handed in his resignation letter. The resignation was processed quickly.
After he was done, he quickly went outside and walked away without looking back. It was the place that he had suffered the most for more than a year. He did not feel a slight regret after resigning. He decided to walk for a while and went to a nearby convenience store. He wanted to get a free booklet where lots of part-time jobs were listed. He took it and bought several foods and drinks while he was at the store, then he walked home. At home, there was nobody except for him. Ran was in school until noon. Soo decided to look at the booklet and looked for a part-time job as he has nothing to do. He wanted to look for a job that he could do while Ran was at school and did not take much of his time as he wanted to use most of his time to study and create music. He looked for it and finally found the job he wanted. A bicycle store close to his house was hiring. The criteria matched, and the pay was not bad. He immediately called the listed number, without any interview, he quickly got appointed. It seemed that the store needed some helping hand.

After looking for a job, Soo went to the music room to do some writing and recording. He wanted to write some songs while he was free. While he was writing, a particular idea popped in his head. He has a thought of creating songs for duet or group. He thought of contacting the four girls that he founded with Sae Ah. He felt that they were talented and to be left unused was a waste. He wrote a note, to contact them someday.
In the afternoon, Ran has come home. She was surprised when she saw her brother was already home. She ran to him after taking off her shoes and gave him a bear hug. Soo picked her up, then carried her to the living room and sat on the sofa.

"Oppa! Why are you home?"
She asked while looking up.

"I came home early today because I wanted to see your face."

"Hehehe. Don't lie!"

"Really! I wanted to see you so much that I came home earlier."

"Really?"

"Yup! Also, I resigned from my job so I can stay at home more with you."

"Huh? Bad Oppa! How are we gonna pay the debt if you don't work? What are we gonna eat?"
Tears appeared on Ran's eyes as if she gonna cry in seconds.

"No-no, Oppa still working. You know the songs that Sae Ah and I recorded right? The song has become famous, so Oppa gonna write more songs to have more income. Oppa also will work part-time while you are at school. So don't worry about debt and food, okay?"

"Really?"

"Yeah! Don't worry. What do you want to eat for dinner?"

"Hmm.. barbecue!"
Ran wipe her tears and said it cutely with a bright smile.

"You sure? We just ate barbecue yesterday with Sae Ah right. You want to eat barbecue again?"

"Sure! I love barbecue!"

"Alright-alright. Let's go to eat barbecue later."

"Yeah!"

The two of them joked around for a while before Ran got tired and have her noon nap. While her sister took the afternoon nap, Soo went to the music room to continue working on the songs. The songs that he wrote this time has multiple genres from rock to pop music. Soo also has been learning about music arrangement and knew a bit of it.

Time goes by; soon, the time for dinner came.
Ran woke up and went to the music room to remind her brother. 
Soo was almost done with his works when Ran came inside. He immediately ended his actions and went to have dinner with his sister. It's been a long time since they have dinner together just the two of them. They spent the great precious time together for some time before they finally went home. When Ran went to sleep, Soo went back to his room and opened his laptop.
He was searching for singers to collaborate on the internet. Some caught his attention, but most of them were average singers. Soo decided to give up on searching and ended the day.

...
...
...

On the very next day, Soo woke up early because of habit. Soo woke his sister up and went to prepare breakfast. After they finished eating breakfast, Soo would bring her sister to school. It would be the first time he brought her to school. Soo took the bike, put his sister at the back seat and went to her school. It was still early in the morning. There were not many cars on the road but, there were quite lots of people on the side walking either going to work or home. On the way to his sister school, Soo suddenly heard someone singing. The voice was not bad, comparable to Sae Ah's. Soo went to take a look and saw a woman on the side of the street, performing. She was holding her guitar, seated near the entrance of the subway station as she was covering a famous jazz song from the 90s.

"Oppa, what are you looking at? we should hurry, if not I'm gonna be late."
Ran who sat behind him, suddenly spoke.

"Right! We should hurry."

The school was already nearby, so it only took a few minutes for them to reach the school from the place Soo saw the female singer.

"Alright, see you later. I will pick you up after school at 3."

"What!? It's at 2 pm Oppa! My school finished at 2. Don't forget okay."

"My mistake. See you later."

After dropping Ran at school, Soo went back to the place he saw the singer. This time, he was quite surprised. The singer was covering his song, Moon on the Water. Soo took a good look at her, and he could see four red stars floating above her head which was the same with Sae Ah stars. 

*Status*
Name: Kang Shin Ji
Job: Student
Singing: A
Dancing: D
Acting: F
Entertaining: F

After looking at her status, he finally could deduce the meaning of the colours of the stars means. The colours mean the ability they are best at. For example, Sae Ah and Shin Ji both have their stars in red, so they were best at singing. The stars probably mean the ability level. Both of them has A as their ability level for singing, so the stars should correspond to the best ability level people had, Soo thought.

After the singer finished singing, Soo approached her.

"Hello, you are good at singing."

"Thank you."

"You brought a different expression of the songs. I never thought that someone would sing the song that I created."

"Huh? Did you create the song? Are you Soo?"

"Yeah, let me introduce myself. My name is Kim Soo."

"Soo! Your song is perfect. I heard it multiple time until I could remember the lyrics."

"Really?"

"Yeah! Oh! I haven't introduced myself. My name is Kang Shin Ji, and you can call me Shin Ji."

"Nice to meet you. So, I approached because of a reason, do you have some time?"

"Ah? Do you want to talk to me? Alright, how about at the cafe over there? I worked there."

"Okay, Let's go."

The two of them walked towards the cafe. It was close by, so it only took a few minutes. After arriving, Soo ordered some drinks and brought it to the table where Shin Ji already sat at.

"Here. It's on me."

"Thank you, but you don't have to though."

"So, do you know about my MyTube channel?"

"Yeah, of course. I listen to your song through your channel."

"Good, I wanted you to become a singer on my channel. Currently, I have one singer, but I would like to have another one so that I could make different ranges and types of songs."

"Heh? Me? Singer?"

"Yeah, I can discuss the contract with you now. Are you a student?"

"Yes... I would like to, but I don't have any free time."

"I see, I can give you my number first. If you have time, you can contact me."

"Okay, I have a question, is it alright?"

"It's okay, what is it?"

"What kind of songs will you let me sing if I sign with you?"

"Rock ballad and ballad. Your voice is great for that genre. I got inspired after listening to your rough voice while singing my song it creates a different feeling than the original. It was good."

"I see, I will contact you as soon as possible."

"Alright, then I will leave for now. Bye."

"Bye."

Soo leaves the cafe and returns home to rest before going again later to pick up his sister.

That day when Xing got lost and ended up in the Sima Tribe, a group of young men were casually chatting in a certain famous restaurant owned by the Zhong second young master. Those group of young men included a certain 'Son of Heaven' who had gained sympathy points with a certain old general and got permission for a day out in the city once a month, a certain Prince who was missing his lover by his side, together with his aspiring page and the brother of the said lover who follows his friend everywhere. 
Seiren who had found out about Shengli's weakness to wine sneaked wine into his tea and made a new cocktail that smelled like tea making Shengli drunk. So the other curious young men made Shengli rest in a corner and while they were moving him, found a thick stack of papers and proceeded to read it violating the privacy of one of the powerful man of their kingdom who was currently weak due to alcohol. 
Rijun who had the blind courage that Shengli won't kill his lover's sister opened the stack of papers to see it was actually a 'letter' written by his sister and not some booklet or his accounts.
Rijun read the letter loud for other people to hear amidst the protest of Lin Mubai as he had scanned to see the letter to be more of a report than a letter from a lover.
'Why is my sister this stupid?', he thought, 'How can she keep her man if she writes what she did from morning to night in the format of a report submitted to a superior? I'm no expert in these things but isn't this boring and not romantic? Who needs to know how beautiful her niece is? She had written about that baby for a page... An entire page! Who cares she likes her niece better than her nephew?And a pond? What was that about? The trees? Her dinner.. Seriously.. She wrote him what she ate..? Not even a single 'I miss you' or 'Take care of your health' like normal letters!' 
 Rijun felt a bit worried for his sister,' Oh, sister! You've by luck found yourself the perfect man for you who can even cook for you and you are this careless? '. He felt sorry for Shengli too not knowing he'll be killed by Shengli for reading her letter to him.
That's when Seiren who is a self-proclaimed expert in all things women, decrypted her letter that was filled with esoteric facts privy to only the both of them.
"Your sister prefers a girl to a boy baby, that tree she mentioned... They must have done something known only to them on that tree... Dinner... This is what he usually ordered for her! The flowers aren't fragrant here, the air is dense here, Xu mama's skills in making milk haven't improved, I don't have the mood to  practice my sword here... These are all the things she misses about him",he went on explaining each sentence she wrote that cryptically said that she misses him and wants him by her side.
The Emperor was surprised by the knowledge Seiren possessed in these matters, "Zhong Seiren, your women must be blessed to have a husband like you!", he said.
"Correction, your Majesty! My woman! Our father had changed our family rules for us Zhong sons to have only one wife and no concubines or bed  servants"
"More people following the Huang family tradition?",the Emperor was surprised but Seiren seemed to be pleased considering his reputation as the frivolous playboy - self-proclaimed.
"I can see your brother accepting this. But will you be fine with one woman?", Rijun asked surprised. Lin Mubai who never understood those nobles became more confused why those rich nobles want to refuse themselves from having more women. More women, more happiness, right?
" Ha! ", Seiren sneered," Why wouldn't I be? The number one playboy - your sister, is ending up  with a man! I can be happy with a single woman", he said in a condescending tone. 
Rijun shook his head, he has to bring up Mingxia to this!
Seiren said his piece and went to Shengli who was still drunk and checked him and Lin Mubai tried to stop him, "Don't you want to know how your brother writes your sister-in-law?", he asked raising his eyebrows."No", he replied firmly. 
Now this invoked the curiosity of the Emperor and he 'commanded' his brother to be searched while Lin Mubai was petrified. It is confirmed he'll be a corpse by tomorrow.
Seiren searched Shengli to find a couple of papers neatly folded in his chest pockets and opened it to read while everyone's eyes were on him. He read only a couple of lines and a rare blush creeped on his face and he looked like a bashful maiden, "Hmm, this is not what I'd have expected from a Prince! ", he covered his mouth, coughed and cleared his throat folding the letter back, "This letter is extremely  personal and I bet it was not for public viewing" he sighed making even Lin Mubai intrigued.
What is in that letter?
"No private letter is for public viewing, you weren't against reading Mingxia's letter. Now I command you to read the letter", the Emperor really wanted to know how his aloof brother would write to his lover. Also what is in that letter that made even Seiren flushed?
"No way!", he refused and the Emperor tried to get the letter and the commotion woke Shengli up.
He saw the letter in Seiren's hand and his eyes reddened with rage, "Seiren, give it back!", he roared.
"I bet you didn't write this to send it to her, did you?", Seiren smirked fearless in front of the angry wolf.
"I'll kill you!", Shengli shouted and he swayed trying to stand up.
"So that's how it is", Seiren gave a victorious grin, "I'll help her receive this letter".
"Give it back, you nasty imbecile! I will end you! Beware!", Shengli started screaming and Seiren had an enlightened smile. He cannot get a chance like this to get back at this lonely wolf, or that fake man ever again. 

While these commotion was going on a falcon with a letter tied on its feet landed near Lin Mubai and he read the note and screamed,
"Big brother Wolf, sister-in-law is lost and seemed to head in the direction of the Sima Tribe. Our people are scouting the area and Lord Huang is going towards the Sima Tribe"
"What?", Shengli grabbed the note and he immediately became sober.
"Damn you Zedong! Why did you bring her there?" he mumbled and hurried to leave.
Rijun got ready to leave but was met with the glare of Shengli, "Do not tell your father! Zedong will handle it better!"
"What?", Seiren asked casually, " Should I ask my father for the army?", he asked sarcastically to Shengli.
"Not now, may be tomorrow", Shengli answered seriously and got out of the room.
Seiren was flabbergasted, "Is this guy serious? She's probably with those people wining and dining and playing with their women. And why would she need an army to rescue her when she herself is stronger than a thousand men?", he asked confused. Are they even talking about the same person? 
But Seiren was met with the angry glare of Rijun and the Emperor who then explained the situation between her and the Sima Tribe but Seiren still was not moved,
" The Chief of the tribe knows Lord Táng. Batukhan and I had chatted in the past in the Heavenly Flowers Palace. He is a rational man, he won't hurt her!", he said but his reasoning did not make those two less worried.
Shengli prepared to leave for the South and left the city that night along with Lin Mubai.
__________________________
Meanwhile, the one who was actually wining and dining with the Chief in the night was happy to see her Uncle entering the tent.
Horsey did a good job! Xing was happy.
Zedong looked at Xing who was sitting there all calm and regal while he looked disoriented from all the stress and the sudden travel. The horse met him halfway and he followed it here  when the people asked him to meet the Chief and only heavens know how worried he was for the past hours and there she is... all cool and collected.
Thank heavens she is safe! 
Zedong sighed and gave a deep bow to the Chief and only then Xing realised he is the king here and she didn't even bow to him.
Well! No use crying over spilt milk!
They were talking in the Tribal language and Xing understood nothing but realised they were talking business and ended up sleeping on the bed curled up. A little while later, she realised her uncle covering with a blanket and she went back to sleep.
Zedong wanted to hit her hard in the head for worrying everyone but could not bring himself to it seeing her sleeping like a pampered little cat.
He then sent information to everyone that he  got her and she was unharmed. Shengli received the message, wrote a letter to bring her back to the capital immediately and stayed in a village on her way of return. 
In the tent, 
" She has no interest in negotiating for you, right?", Zedong asked Batukhan.
"This one", Batukhan pointed at Xing, "Back in the Heavenly Flowers Palace, She walked up to a man talking bad about a woman, pulled his tongue out and pierced a chopstick in it... No hesitation! No one asked her for help and no one would have blamed her if she left without helping! She cannot keep away from helping others and also she is mandated by the heavens to do so! ", Batukhan gave a cryptic smile making Zedong feel a chill. He had nothing to say against it. She really is fated to be...
The next day Xing left with her uncle and her uncle took her back to the Manor in Dajing and she spent a couple of days there.
Those two daughter-in-laws loved Xing and asked her to call them big sis and the three of them were drinking the evening tea when a servant gave her a letter.
Xing saw the Zhong seal and without minding those two, opened the letter to have a big surprise. It was the handwriting of Shengli, his  original one he uses currently only to write her.
Okay! Why is this letter has the Zhong seal?
Xing read the letter and she... Could not say anything... She felt her face got burning red and her breathing got erratic and her heart beat went out of control and she felt like she was burning... Yep ! Burning in the passion of the words in the letter.
Well, what did he write in the letter? It was his thoughts.. Thoughts about what he wanted to do with her.. In bed.. On their wedding night.. From lifting the veil to the next morning, he haven't missed a single detail. And to top it off, it was really artistic and eloquent, not like the books she used to read before, a lot more articulate and poetic even.
Seeing her blushing red reading the letter, those cousin-in-laws got curious and they naturally snatched the letters from her hands and began to read. Xing who had read the letter could not even move as she felt weak in the knees.
Dangerous! Really dangerous! This man could actually kill me! Xing thought. How did it end up with the Zhong? It should be Seiren right? Only he'd do such lowly thing! Did he read it? He'd be dead if he did though! How can I face anyone again? This rascal Prince! How could he write such things? I feel like I've lost the right to be a bride!
While Xing was worrying, those two women were reading the letter with interest and passing comments among themselves and giggling making Xing want to dig a hole and disappear from the face of earth! 
"How articulate! He haven't used a description more than once!"
"Look at this! This actually works" 
"I've done this and this too... Mmmm! " 
"Little cousin, seems like he haven't seen you in a while!", Anran giggled focusing on Her chest, "I don't see any scarcity there!" and Xing instinctively covered her chest.
"Do not let this man go!", Yaoyao said, "These type of men are Treasures and not to be lost!", she was serious.
Xing gave an awkward laugh, 'Treasure, my foot! He is a pervert and these women are perverts too' .
Who said only men are perverts? Everyone is a pervert. It's just that women are better at hiding it! 
Xing who was used to read certain types of books was not that moved when she read books that said, he did this to her or she did that to him. But when Shengli wrote I will do this and that to you... She cannot help but feel shy! 
This man is teaching me many things that even I didn't realise about myself! Xing sighed and hid her face for an entire day until she left the Manor. Those two always looked at her with proud look as they believed that she had chosen the right man for her.

Táng JiaXing, a girl who had spent most of her life wildly in her village in a remote corner of the Wind Kingdom, suddenly had to leave to the Capital city and she gets involved in the power struggles of the Imperial Palace.

A local hero to the Prime Minister's daughter? 

Everything she did till now casually is connected to the Empire? 

Why? 

Turns out she was the 'Chosen One' by the Gods for some purpose even she was unaware of. 

And wait... the Demon Realm is interested in her too? 

What will happen to her love with the exiled Prince? He is not a Prince now but a big underworld businessman? 

How much does he know about her 'supposed' fate? 

Divine Ruler? Supporting the Emperor? Really don't care! 

All I want is to spend the rest of my life with my Prince....

But will she be allowed to choose her own fate?

Will Love conquer all?

Lu Chenglie, the genius Third Prince of the Kingdom... He was sent away from the place by the plots of the Empress...

When he was about to be engulfed in the darkness of his heart, he saw her... The Moon of his Life.... 

"Don't die", she shouted and he wanted life, a good long life with her... 

She loved him even though she knew of the darkness in him, something even he could not do...

When he learned tidbits about her 'fate' he decided to fight for her... Not opposing her fate but by aiding her to achieve her goals quickly so that he can get her for himself...

He made himself strong and wealthy so that he has the power to defend her if need arises...

But could he protect her from her fate...?



This story is about the love between two people who are not supposed to be together by fate and how they succeed with their love in the end.

Chapter 73. Testing And Trial, Part XIV

Translator: Khan
Editor Group: Liber Reverie 


The family of Count Roscent had been her faithful dog, and their relationship would become very close if the engagement of Mielle and Oscar took place. So Cain and Mielle, who had power on their backs, were able to cut Aria's head easily without much trial.

It was quite bad for Aria if they got acquainted. Even so, because she couldn't think of a way to stop it, she was just sitting still.

"Really?"

Aria answered carelessly. Then, to regain attention from Aria, Annie released the following information.

"Well, it was about Mr. Oscar!"

"Was that so?"

"Yes! I didn't hear any more details, but... I'm sure it's about the engagement!"

She was pretty quick-witted. It was also good to give her master the information she needed.

"Why do you think so?"

"That's it..."

She had been so good at chattering so far, but she suddenly closed her mouth. 'Why? Did she do something dishonest?' It was only then that Aria expressed her interest. She was wondering where she had stolen Mielle's information.

"The truth is... I've just read a letter from Miss Mielle to Princess Frederick..."

As expected, she was full of wickedness to the bone. She had been jealous and envious of her master's wealth, and Aria had seduced her, and Annie had betrayed her master in an instant. When Aria's eyes narrowed, Annie hurriedly made an excuse.

"Of, of course, I've never read the contents of Miss Aria's letters! It was sealed tightly in the first place."

"You mean you'd read them if I hadn't sealed them?"

"I wouldn't have done that! Absolutely not!"

Annie even waved her hand and denied it. No, she must have ripped open the sloppy letter. She didn't mean to scold her or kick her out because of her behavior. Annie couldn't betray her anyway.

Annie must have wondered about Mielle's secret, who pretended to be noble and lofty. Furthermore, it was information that would help her. It was not a big matter for Annie to read that letter. Aria smiled softly and sweetened Annie.

"Well, of course. I believe you, Annie."

"... re-really?"

"You happened to see it, didn't you? Letters were spread out on the table, so you could easily see them when you cleaned, or you would check them if you thought it was garbage as they were on the floor."

Aria gave Annie a chance to tell a natural lie. Aria also flashed Annie a smile as if she was telling her that she did a job well done regardless of what answer she chose.

"That's right...! I came across it while cleaning!"

"I knew that was the case."

"Miss...! Thank you very much for believing."

'So, what's the content?' At Aria's eye expression, Annie said what she had seen.

"How far have I told you? Oh! The letter she was going to send to the princess said that she was sorry that she didn't have a chance to meet him because he was busy and that she wanted to be an adult soon and be with him."

'Isn't it quite clever to look into the real influential person of the family of the Duke of Frederick and even send a letter in person?' 

Maybe it wasn't the end yet, but Annie kept on talking, "The last thing she wrote was that she needs the princess's help. Most of the contents of the long letter were about Oscar. She only had one line of greeting for the princess who was going to receive the letter. Even the common people don't write it that way." Said Annie, who spoke ill of Mielle.

'How have you put up with it in the meantime?'

"Really? I hope the princess won't be disappointed if she receives Mielle's letter… Oh, Jessie. Can you give me a new tea? I'd like some green tea to clear my head."

"Yes, miss. Just a moment, please."

As soon as Jessie left the room, Aria beckoned Annie to lower her head. Then she bent her knees and lowered her posture like a dog that was listening well, and Aria swept her hair with praise since Annie did a good job.

"Your hair looks empty today. Do you like purple or green?"

".... pu-purple."

"Yes, do it."

Aria had to give a prize to a dog who had listened well. It was not just for a prize that Aria stroked her hair. Aria would definitely give Annie something great if she stole information again

She took out a purple hairpin from the jewelry box after she noticed Aria's intentions when she dismissed Jessie. It was a violet crystal. The price was relatively cheap compared to the real jewels since it was rare, but the nobles did not favor it much. Therefore, it seemed to spread like a fairly high-end fashion among the common people. It was because no one recognized the woman though she wore the real jewel.

When Aria had first given her with colored crystals, she was so happy when she had received the golden brooch, and Aria had prepared some more. It was a very useful tool for getting high-quality information at a low price.

Annie put the hairpin on her hair, and she seemed to think that it looked good on her. Annie, who looked into the mirror with her excited face, suddenly opened her mouth as if she had thought about something.

"But you know what, miss."

Aria looked at her all of a sudden because of Annie's serious look and speech tone. 'Is there anything else you need to say?'

"Maybe… Mr. Oscar is interested in Miss Aria, not Miss Mielle?"

Aria's mouth crept up because of the careful question. 'That's what it looks like to your eyes.'

"Why do you think so?"

"It's... because he doesn't even write to Miss Mielle, but she exchanges letters with Miss Aria several times a month, and..."

"And?"

"In fact, there's already a lot of gossip among maids. Mr. Oscar visited you on your birthday, and Miss Mielle's birthday… I heard that there was someone who saw you and Oscar talking alone in the garden."

She glanced at Aria with a puzzled look as if it were true. 'Yeah, I can't help it if rumors like that spread since I walked around in public.' Aria struggled to hide her joyous mind.

'Did Mielle hear that?' She must have heard of it. Her maids would love to babble as well as Annie. That was why she had sent him letters. 

Aria was wondering what kind of expression she would have had on her face.

"And the dress is decisive."

"... Aha."

"How could he give both of you a similar dress as a gift?"

She spoke as if she could not understand the situation now. Annie was not the only one. No one would understand what was happening now. Even Aria, the person who was involved in the case and who organized the project, could hardly think of it as a dream because Oscar had been so easily bewitched.

"Anyway, not just me, but all the maids in the mansion think so. They are sure that the person Mr. Oscar likes is you." She was truly convinced.

Aria hid her smile and pretended to be calm. "If the rumors were true, I would be the wickedest woman of this age because I stole the heart of my sister's lover."

"No way! He's not even officially engaged to Miss Mielle, so he can change his lover at any time."

"Really?"

"Sure!"

'Even if I'm taking this approach on purpose, is it true?' Annie might say yes again in a loud voice. She had been jealous of her master. She betrayed her and wanted to be someone's concubine and raise her status.

"Today's conversation was very informative. I'll look forward to our next conversation, Annie."

Annie felt instinctively that she would soon receive a prize of more value than jewelry if she continued this pleasant conversation.

Mielle was busy preparing to go out in the morning. She applied perfume to her hair and combed it finely. She also colored it to add life to her lips because she might meet with Oscar after a long time. Choosing a bright outdoor suit for spring, she recalled a reply from Princess Frederick. 

'Dear Lady Mielle, I hope you come to the mansion for the weekend. Oscar will also be making a brief appearance.'

'Oh, my God... isn't the princess an angel?'

When she sent a letter saying she had been a little disappointed by the recent estrangement of her relationship with Oscar, she had given her a place to meet him straight away.

"We have to start, miss."

"Yes, Emma."

Beautifully, but not too much. Mielle, who dressed herself to Oscar's taste, put on her coat with the help of her maid and left the mansion with Emma.
