Yin"s eyes followed the back of her Brother Dark, before he disappeared from her bedroom. She stood there for a long time, as she was lost in her thoughts.The memories of the day before flashed through her minds and repeated themselves like a broken record.
Fortunately, she wasn"t as unstable as she had been right after she had been touched. Otherwise, she would probably repeat the bathroom incidence once again.
She was actually surprised that she had reacted this strongly. Usually, she would just wash her skin until it tinted red, but not further.
Had she maybe grown soft during her time in the Mortal Trial? Had the luxury of a break from this nightmare turned her weak again?
No matter what, she had to get a grip of herself.
She told herself like always to endure, to stay strong and to keep fighting, even if she might feel like everything is hopeless.
One day, she would pull down his mask in front of the entire Celestial Realm and crush his everything into pieces.
One day, she would be able to come clean to her family and confess all her lies.
One day, she would maybe dare to love. Maybe.
Yin shook her head to get rid of all these useless rumination and stepped outside her bedroom. As soon as she left her quarters, she saw and was greeted by clansmen.
The sight of them unharmed and alive eased her worrying heart. She could still recall one time when a member in her clan had heard her distressed cries when he visited.
He had killed the interrupting clansman without a second thought and told her that he would end anyone that would disrupt their moment together.
Ever since then, Yin had banned all the workers and clansmen from entering her quarters without permission. Those who did, were punished severally.
Even her parents weren"t spared from the restrictions, although they only received silent treatment from her in penalty.
Albeit her actions might be perceived as cruel, she didn"t care as long as long as innocents were spared.

"Your Highness, we have finally found a solution." A woman in blue reported on her knees.
She stole a few glances at the majestic man in front of her and couldn"t help but feel smitten by him. How great wouldn"t it be if she could become his woman?
However, the Highness had never been the one to indulge in s.e.xual relationships. The last woman who tested her luck ended up in a state worse than death. She didn"t want to follow her footsteps.
The man in question kept eating grapes on his sofa and waited for her to continue.
"The spell caster utilize the lake beside the Water Dome of Doom to sustain it. As long as we cut off the connections between these two, the spell will soon cease to exist."
Something purple flew towards the woman. Since she didn"t dare to react, it smashed against her right arm and smeared her sleeve in grape juice.
"Your Highness!" She exclaimed in surprise and perfected her stance, as she felt a searing pain erupt in her arm.
"If you choose to open your mouth, you should only use it to report something that I am not already aware of."
