FOR THE second time this week, Aurum was travelling to the Imperial Palace. Particularly at Fenghua Palace - the Empress' residence. Only two days had passed and the Empress invited her again to the palace. This time, not for tea but for lunch. Of course Aurum agreed. She wouldn't miss a chance to look into that woman's mind.
Aurum guessed that the Empress would invite her again but she didn't expect the invitation would come this soon. That woman probably couldn't wait to start her plan of forcing Aurum into marriage with her youngest son. The Empress probably thought she was just a naive girl she could easily fool and control into doing what she wanted. That's fine, Aurum didn't mind playing with her for a while. After all, she still had information that could possibly help in their search for their mother.
It's September! This month is special for me. Because it's not only my birth month, it's also NoGift's. I can't believe this story would soon turn 1. Thank you to everyone who's been with NoGift from the start. And also to the others who came along the way. I hope you will continue to be with me on this journey until the end. ₍₍ ( ๑॔˃̶◡ ˂̶๑॓)◞♡
