"MASTER! Master! Look! Black can see the land! Are we close to Xing already?" Black excitedly said, jumping around Argent.
"Pipe down, will you? We can see as well as you do, you know?" Aurum said, stopping Black from jumping around.
"Wrong! Black can see much far, far away than you Aurum."
"Yes, yes, you're great," Aurum said sarcastically.
Argent stared at the land that kept getting closer and closer. After more than a month of sailing, they finally arrived at Xing. She could finally start the search for her mother. Argent just hoped that it wasn't too late or she didn't really know what she would do.
She felt her hand being gripped. Argent looked down and saw her sister staring up at her.
"It's alright, Brother. Mother is surely still alive. We're definitely going to find her," Aurum said with conviction, as if reading what she was thinking.
I first planned to give each prince of Xing a title like the ones usually found in Chinese historical webnovels. I also thought of using 'benwang' or 'bengong' when a royalty of Xing was referring to him/herself. But then I changed my mind. Because some of you might just get confused by that. So for easier reading, I decided to just to call the princes, 1st prince, etc. And then not add any of those complicated speech patterns common in Chinese historicals. (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
