Meng Fuyao did not want to see anyone at this point in tiiven her hope but eventually destroyed the last bits of her hope She did not wish to face Zong Yue that had taken part in the events that happened eight years ago

Meng Fuyao's heart grew colder by the second In that chilly night, as the wind seeped into her bones, she wondered, ‘Who can I trust? What can I believe in? You believe that those who love you will never betray you, and yet, before you know it, they are standing on the opposite shore, watching on as you sink lower and lower in that roaring seas, alone in that abandoned shi+p'

In the end, she was always alone

Who knew the taste of regret?

Who knew the taste of longing?

Who knew the taste of longing and regret?

Just as the wind turned frigid throughout the long night; just as the past memories crept upon her silently, a pair of solid black eyes stared coldly at her, hiding its face behind a green h to shatter her heart

These ten years had been but a dream

‘A shroud of Her Highness' grief lingers on, hu year after year in the shade of trees in the court' [1 Lyrics to the Melody of Heavenly Joy by wang Yisun, translated by Betty Tseng]

‘Like dreary dreams, ten years have passed The ss have flown over the Lake of the west, leaving in the ancient palace but an e, translated]

‘The history of the six dynasties vanishes with the floater, there are but traces of sreen veil [3 Fragrance of Cinna] The traces of the past are but everywhere, alas, that child's heart, unfound'

It was but a dream

14 years ago, he had sampled that sensation

That year, he had broken his promise and lost her

That year, he had met her in that dark cupboard

That year, he had found a tiny lotus flower under the bed

That year, he had heard her proclaim that she was the noblest princess that was born with a lotus

That year, he had welcoaze In spite of that, she had still given him a sorrowful smile

That year, he had placed her on his knees, untangled her knotted hair, untidied by anyone for five entire years He had slowly coh his heart had been ensnared by the vine-like hair

That year, he had carried her in his warm, cozy outerwear That five-year-old child had looked like she had been three and weighed like she was one Hugging her had been like carrying a kitten, quiet and obedient

That year, he had intended that bring her away, yet, his Teacher's Brother instructions had come

Through telepathy, his Teacher's Brother had ordered him to visit Epsilon So he had decided to put her back into the cupboard, visit Epsilon and then bring her away afterward

Halfway through, he had seen an 8-year-old girl rushi+ng by with bouts of exciteuely understood that this princess had shown great interest in hiotten an as, he would actively avoid it At his young age, being diplon to hiood

He had hidden behind the palace walls, listening in on his Teacher's Brother and Epsilon's conversation

There are so many odd, demonic and evil practices around the world, there is no way that he and his one sect can put an end to all of the me to cultivate properly, he abruptly toldhavoc in the human realm He even ordered me to deal with her within this travel” Teacher's Brother knocked his fingers on the table, and exclaimed in exasperation, “What a joke! How a in this crowd?”

In the house, Epsilon laughed “There are still issues you cannot solve? Other than your seniors and that bunch of others, who else is there that you cannot deal with? But since your senior ordered, there definitely will be this person”

“Have me a birth date and told me that oddities would occur when this child was born But I've been searching for her for 5 whole years, and I have yet to coe phenomena happened As for that birth date… Where am I supposed to ask for a lady's birth date?”

“When the birthday?” Epsilon sipped his tea calmly “I'll help you ask around if there's a chance”

Teacher's Brother told Epsilon the birth date

Shock came over him

That birth date was merely a day away from hers, and she… was born with a lotus
