The next morning Riyu and Eki were washing clothes and Riyu was complaining as usual, when in the distance they could see the head of servant girls along with three high ranking eunichs approaching them.
Lady Lianhua the head serving girls, did not look all too happy they finally got to where Riyu and Eki were washing clothes. Lady Lianhua stared into my soul for a fiew seconds before saying "Riyu"
I looked down not wanting to meet her gaze
" Yes, Madam" I said in a gentle tone. However lady Lianhua was not buying it , "Come with us" Riyu froze her hands still in the bucket of cold water 'Crap,is this because of that court lady I slapped... No that can't be the case or is it about entering the band section of the inner Court. That toad guy is a complete snitch '
SNAP,SNAP
The head of servant girls , snapped her fingers impatiently " I don't have all day girl, be quick and follow us" Riyu snapped back to reality "r-right" she stood up Eki grabbed a piece of her skirt as if to ask, does this mean you're getting executed or punished? Riyu patted her head reassuring her that she'll be fine.
Eki watched as her friend's silhouette disappear along with the eunich and the head of serving girls , meanwhile in the other hand the two empers were having a civil game of go. Well discussing about the serving girl.
The first emperor Kaito was laughing so hard that he looks like he could collapse " Really!?" He said in this belief between his laughter"I never knew a serving girl was this brave to stand up against a court lady, she's either really brave or really stupid" he says well wiping away a tear.
"Either way it could have been good entertainment to watch " meanwhile the second emperor Ashver didn't look all too happy " you do realize that an offense like that, can cost her life ,right?" He takes one of the go pieces " oh and I win again "
Kaito moved closer to his little brother " oh come on what do you always have to kill the vibe of things." He said while elbow nudging him " life is short little brother you have to learn to appreciate it. Plus last eye checked I'm the older one, so why do you act like you're 100 ?"
" Would it kill you to spend time with even your concubines or mistresses? Or even your children?" Kaito added with a mischievous look on his face his ocean Blue eyes gleaming in the morning sunlight. Ashver simply looked away from his brother.
" Unlike you I actually value my work more and then I value spending time with women"
Kaito raises hands up in defeat " okay ,brother you win. But don't forget about the spring garden party that is going to be held in a month" "I'm not coming" Ashver said blankly.
" I knew you would say something like that, that's why I should inform you that you must be there" Kaito said "for what reason should I attend?" Ashver said, Kaito had the stupidest Grin on his face. " I decided to invite, other major figures from the empire to join. And I know you really really love your public image. So if you don't come what would they think of you?"
Ashver turns to his brother with a clenched fist "are you trying to blackmail me!?" Kaito shrugs" pretty much" just then they hear a knock on the door .
