Capítulo 3: Chapter 03. Torture

Artland World

______________________

The night was very bright, full moonlight shone on every corner of the city, colorful lanterns filled the horizon. Various kinds of knick-knacks adorn the entire town square. Cheerful laughter could be heard here and there breaking the silence. Everyone rejoices as if they have forgotten everything as if they only live for the night.

A vast and prosperous kingdom, its wealth and resources are abundant and widely known by all kingdoms in the central continent. The Zu Kingdom, a kingdom ruled by a tough person, Emperor Fu Qing.

A night full of happiness for a girl, happiness that permeates the veins of every being. Fu Xie Yan, a girl who turned 16 tonight, became the king's favorite daughter, her intelligence and beautiful face made her greatly admired by everyone.

Envoys from various kingdoms took part in the invitation, several princes from neighboring countries took part in this rare occasion to establish a closer relationship with the king's daughter, Fu Xie Yan.

***

Unlike the joy that is felt by every human being, the atmosphere in an old hut that is so and so far from the crowd is so dark.

A girl who sat with her arms and legs defended, her face was pale, her body was so thin and unkempt, it was faintly visible that the bloodstain began to dry on the corner of her lips. Bruises and long cuts filled her entire body, her clothes were torn, shapeless with changed color. Judging by her appearance, that girl liked to receive a lash just a moment ago. Only the up and down movements of his chest indicated that the girl was still alive. A picture of a person returning from a terrible death.

The girl is not someone else. She is Fu Xie Lan, the eldest daughter of the Zu kingdom, Fu Xie Yan's older sister who is only two years different from her.

Long years earlier she was very dear to the changes of Fu Qing, the Emperor who ruled at this time, until that time, the time when the empress who was her mother accepted death. He is accused of having an affair with one of the kingdoms, causing the Emperor to wrath. It made him always think that Fu Xie Lan was a daughter he loved so much he might have been the result of his wife's affair all this time.

From then on, the empress rank was filled by the main concubine of the Zu kingdom, Mother Fu Xie Yan

All the good treatment she received turned into a calamity for her, her mother died, she was ostracized and looked upon with disgust by all eyes that were on her.

Day and night she was tortured, starving all the time. As an outlet for the Emperor's anger that never went out. The thought that the woman she loved so much betrayed her infuriated her. Just killing that traitor would never be enough for her.

With such a tragic ending, Fu Xie Lan became a forgotten princess. Its existence has never been accepted by society.

"How's the condition?" A woman followed by several guards walked over to the two people guarding outside the hut.

"Your Majesty," Shocked, the two guards immediately bowed in salute.

"Wake up! I want to see it."

"Fine, Your Highness. Please." immediately one of them led the way to open the door, stepped inside.

It's very dark inside ... there's no light. Just the moonlight peeking through the gaps of the hut was more than enough to give a glimpse of the motionless figure in front of her.

Watching for a moment, the corners of her lips lifted into a triumphant smile.

"That's enough. Stop torturing her," she said as she continued to enjoy the scenery in front of her.

"B ... but Your Majesty ... Her Majesty the emperor ordered us to ..." Not having time to finish her sentence, the woman interrupted.

"Yes, that's enough. Continuing to torture her will only be a waste of time. Leave her, slowly let her enjoy the pain in her body. Do not feed and drink, let her starve to death .. this is the emperor's order." Walk around leaving the old building.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The Emperor's orders are imperative to us." again the two men bowed to salute.

Waiting for the woman to walk away, the two people stood up straight, glanced at each other, then nodded and left.

The old hut was deserted again, there were no more guards, only Fu Xie Lan was left.

All the voices were heard clearly by her, she was very aware of how her father hated her so much, until now she still could not accept all the accusations against her mother, still could not accept her mother's death. She trusted her mother so much, she was sure that her mother wouldn't do any of that. Within her, her mother's position and all the glory were still etched in her heart.

Her breathing grew weaker, her head grew heavier, and became numb as the darkness took her away. The water droplets dutifully moistened her cheeks. Until her last breath, she could never accept all of this.
