Shadow Princess

"...Stop the carriage now..."

"...Immediately..."

As soon as the girl" hoa.r.s.e voice fall, everyone became stone!

It"s been four years since she last talk! They never expected she"d talk again.

After that incident, she had been isolated herself in her room and stopped approaching them. She didn"t talk to them nor even smiled. Eventually, everyone in the palace ascertained that she had been suffering from long-term depression and the reason was loneliness. Soon they realized what a terrible mistake they made by secluding her.

All she wanted was their company but they involuntarily turned her down.

"By changing your perspective on the situation, it may be easier to have a positive att.i.tude."- they thought.

Now it turned the tables to their side! Soon they started to visit her frequently. Their att.i.tude became friendly. The maids, who avoided her most came to her begging for forgiveness. They became happy when princess just nodded at them as accepting their apologies. They were very contented of Princess for being so soft-hearted and merciful.

So they started to pray to Buddha every day for Princess" well being.

But the reason why Liena"s was forbearing, was different. Besides, she disregarded them.

Why would she care for this insignificant stuffs when her life which was already very chaotic and disgusting.

She just wanted to live alone. She did not like when they were uttering their high-pitched piercing voice and made rackets out of nowhere which always gave her headaches.

"Stop spouting bulls***ts…, you are getting on my nerves " she always yelled at them inwardly.

Since she was a Princess, she could not lose her calm and uttered those curses. It"d be a disgrace to her family!

The culprit coachmen gulped his saliva. There was no way he could disobey her. He caught a glimpse of the queen as he was asking for her permission if they should be stopped in the middle of the road or not. It was their job to obey the princess" order. But when superiors like the king or Queen sats next to a princess, the situation turned different.

Queen Lin understood everyone as they were giving both of mother-daughter different types of looks.

She then thought of her daughter"s sudden mood change. She understood that Liena must have found something which would divert her frustration. Thinking about this Queen Lin"s mood got better. She then ordered everyone,

"Let"s stop the journey."

Finally, the procession stopped as she said. But they were two blocks away from the desired destination since they carriage ran fast.

The carriage door finally opened and a girl stepped out.

She wore a violet colored robe which had golden colored embroidery, flower designs. Her height was slightly small. Although she was thin, her cheeks were not skinny or chubby. It was just perfect! She had a straight nose, big light brown colored eyes, her skin was was pinkish and as smooth as silk. Although she was only twelve years old, was not an adult nor a child but, purely based on her facial features, she could be considered a breathtaking beauty.

Princess Liena hurriedly got out from the carriage door and ran fast to the jewelry shop direction without noticing anything besides her as she disregarded everyone as airs.

Four guards started to follow her as well some maids. But the princess was running so fast that the maids could not cope with her and requested her to stop. Princess glint in her eyes as she looked at them. They felt terrified.

Even though she was pet.i.te, she gave people a condescending feeling.

As Princess walked towards the jewelry shop, she frowned with puzzlement. She doesn"t know where the carriage stopped since she didn"t care about her surroundings at that time. After looking for some time, she looked behind her four guards as she heard thumping sounds. They were highly trained martial artists and her bodyguards. They followed her since she was young. She asked the head guard,

"Ruo Xie, do you know where our carriage was standing?"

Rou Xie nodded his head as he came forward. He looked at the road. Because they had heavy rain last night, so now the roads were slippery and filthy which resulted in deep ruts and heavy vehicle tire tracks leaving. He then pointed at a side, where the carriage stopped. But she still couldn"t remember...

Because she forgot at that time which lane she was staring at, as there were a total of four lanes in front of her now and all of them looked same- narrow and muddy.

Now she was confused as well as heartbroken.

"No I can"t give up now." she encouraged herself.

Suddenly an idea came to her mind. She looked at her bodyguards and said,

"I am looking for someone who is about my age. He is wearing a white robe which is muddy and dirty. I need to find him now. So you guys spread and look for him too."

The guards looked at her strangely.

"Who is she looking for!"

"What had gotten to her today? Making such unreasonable requests!"

"She is acting so strangely today!"

"She had always been a calm and sophisticated person."

There were a lot of questions going on in their brains. They really wanted to ask the princess but observing her sudden mood-swings, they were afraid.

Four of them quickly bowed down before the princess. When Rou Xie said embarra.s.singly,

"We are apologizing to, Your Highness the Princess. Now, we can"t accept your request or separate from you. Since it"s our priority to ensure the safety of her Highness. So, for now, let"s return to the carriage. We will surely help you looking for that person later..."

Princess Liena narrowed her eyes. Feeling the freezing gaze, four of them were stunned as a wind suddenly blew from behind them and they heard a very clear voice,

"Are you going to help me find the kid or not?"

Although her voice was as gentle as the wind and rain during springtime, the four of them trembled and knelt down completely.

Her voice sounded, she was not ordering but scolding! Her eyes were so icy that, they started to feel a chill was pa.s.sing through their spines.

"So cold".

"But why she glared at them angrily?"

"Why Princess became so angry! What got to the world?"

"Did the commit any unforgivable mistakes?"

"Today she sounded domineering!"

They were confused!

They nodded at her and flashed to four different directions as they started looking.

Princess finally breathed loudly as a sign of relief and started to look for that familiar face.

One hour later.

Queen Lin, who was sitting in the carriage, had a tensed look.

She sighed inwardly. It"s been four years. Her daughter had gone through a lot. She was still blaming and punishing herself by shutting from the entire world. It was difficult for the king and queen to persuade this daughter and approached her. She had to move on from her traumas and stopped blaming herself.

There was a tingling pain in Queen Lin"s heart. She still couldn"t believe she lost her only son and now, her daughter was suffering so much. As a mother, she did nothing for her children except watching them suffer. There was deep anguish in her heart. She understood she was a failure as a mother.

As she was thinking, there were four shadows that flew from four different directions suddenly and knelt in front of her carriage and said while shuddering,

"Your Highness, We deserve punishment."

Queen Lin suddenly felt discomfort. She asked,

"What happened?"

The guards started trembling. Ruo Xie felt his heart was sinking as he said,

"We can"t find the Princess."

Queen Lin became furious, which made no one dare to talk to her, forget about glancing her a second look.

At the same time.

After strolling here and there for more than an hour, finally, she managed to calculate that person"s location accurately!

Liena looked at a direction when smiling from ear to ear, and humming happily,

"Finally, I found you."
