In Ji Lian’s impression.
Even in the midst of battle and bloodshed.
Her sister would not reveal any unnecessary emotions.
Despite the intense pain causing the girl’s cheeks to pale.
Her sister would maintain the calmest demeanor.
Bringing victory to the curtain of that battle.
However, now.
Perhaps Ji Yu Su herself was unaware.
The displeasure and disappointment in her heart had manifested on her face.
The resulting low pressure swept through the entire Ji family.
Everyone held their breath.
Not daring to be the first to provoke the displeased young lady at this moment.
Except for Ji Lian.
Her shoulders trembled in exception.
But in the moment when Ji Yu Su passed by.
Brushing against her.
The girl bit her cherry lips.
The resulting pain bringing both courage and clarity.
This allowed her to turn around and call out, “Sis, sister…!”
Ji Yu Su’s steps hesitated.
And a cold gaze turned back, landing on Ji Lian.
It almost made her feel like she was in an icy cave.
The girl, trembling in her voice.
With a tone of utmost pleasing humility.
Weakly said, “I… I prepared a gift for you.”
“It’s in sister’s room…”
“I hope sister will like it.”
In fact, by the time Ji Lian spoke the second sentence, Ji Yu Su had already turned away.
Clearly, she was indifferent to it all.
She didn’t care about Ji Lian’s feelings.
But Ji Lian kept her head low.
Continuing to convey the words respectfully until she finished every sentence.
The surrounding maids and servants whispered amongst themselves.
Passing by the pitiful second young lady who sought to please the future heir of the family.
To them, it was perfectly normal for the less favored second young lady to try to please the family’s future heiress.
However…
It’s somewhat laughable.
Ji Lian found herself in a situation where even the servants would mock her…
Such a pitiful position.
Soon, the girl was left alone again.
In the stifling silence, Ji Lian sniffed.
Then, with slightly reddened eyes, she smiled and muttered to herself.
“Sister should like it, right?”
“As long as that’s the case…”
My own feelings don’t matter much anymore.
…………..
Ji Yu Su quickly strode through the wooden corridor built around the millennia-old sacred tree of the elf palace.
She passed by her own room along the way but showed no signs of anticipation, nor did she linger.
She simply headed towards the direction of the training ground.
The displeased girl needed to release her emotions through sweating.
Because she had just missed something…
She truly desired something.
Something she wanted desperately.
The slave trader informed her.
The elf had already been sold.
Staring at the empty cage.
Ji Yu Su’s heart felt like the sky.
Where the last trace of twilight had disappeared.
Night fell.
…………..
The lively demeanor of the blonde maid resembled a bird.
In contrast, Bai Ze seemed to have adapted well to the elf princess’s body.
From the inside out, she exuded an air of intellect, elegance, gentleness, and tranquility, despite being dressed in rags.
Even with the distinctive collar on her slender neck, clearly marking her as a slave.
“We’ve arrived. This is it.”
The blonde maid arrived in front of a room and declared, “I’ll go to the bathroom first to prepare hot water.
As for you, stay put!
Don’t you dare go anywhere!”
The maid put her hands on her hips.
Her delicate face stern, trying to look imposing.
However, in Bai Ze’s eyes, she appeared more like an adorable little girl pretending to be an adult.
The blonde maid was around eleven or twelve years old, petite like the elf princess.
However, the elf princess was already an adult elf eligible for marriage…
Bai Ze nodded lightly, indicating her compliance.
This genuinely pleased the blonde maid, and her face couldn’t hide the proud expression.
Perhaps because within the entire extended family.
There were few juniors with even less experience and lower status than her.
Then, she suddenly leaned closer to the elf girl’s cheek.
Due to the speed being too fast and the movements too direct.
From the perspective of Bai Ze.
It felt as if the other party was about to come close as if for a kiss.
The elf girl’s body stiffened, lacking the instinct to evade.
But the blonde maid was merely getting close.
A childlike innocence surrounded her.
Warm breath sprayed onto Bai Ze’s neck and cheeks.
In an instant, she turned red.
“I told you, no running around.”
“Outside of your work area, you’re not allowed to go anywhere.
Or else… you’ll be taught a harsh lesson!”
“Look at this!”
Saying that, the blonde maid in front of Bai Ze lifted her maid skirt without any hesitation.
Revealing a pair of slender.
Deer-like legs and a small section of snowy triangle underwear.
Originally, Bai Ze should have blushed and played the “don’t look there challenge.”
But in reality, she remained frozen.
The blush on her cheeks fading away, gradually turning pale.
On the small girl’s thighs, which should have been white and tender.
Many crisscrossing
Like red marks.
As if someone had vigorously whipped her until she bled.
The blonde maid showing all of this seemed nonchalant.
At most blushing and shifting her gaze with a bit of embarrassment.
“Well, it’s like this.”
“A few days ago, I secretly… no, accidentally wandered into the backyard to play!”
“Got caught, and it turned out like this, sigh…”
“It really hurt back then! I thought I was going to die!”
“So, this is the painful price I paid as a senior, gaining experience for you.”
“So don’t run around, okay? Did you hear me?”
“I’m older than you, so I’m your sister”
“Sisters are supposed to take care of their younger siblings, you know.”
“Of course, the eldest young lady and the second young lady… should be considered special cases.”
The talkative blonde maid continued.
Loosening her own skirt.
The hem of the maid’s skirt fell.
Concealing the gruesome scars on the little girl’s body.
It seemed like she purely judged the elf to be a younger sister based on her appearance.
Bai Ze lowered her head, lost in thought.
The elf girl’s silver hair almost reached her knees and her delicate pointed ears drooped lifelessly.
But in the next moment, she suddenly raised the writing pad she had been tightly holding and began to scribble with a pencil.
The board opened, revealing a line of perplexed words.
—”It hurts, right! Don’t you think this is unfair?!”
As a maid of the Ji family, the blonde maid held one of the most prestigious bloodlines within the Western God’s Temple.
Otherwise, one wouldn’t qualify to serve the Ji family!
So, she received education befitting nobility, including literacy.
Naturally, she could understand the words on the writing pad.
However, the little one just tilted her head in confusion.
“What’s unfair about this?”
“If a maid does something wrong, she has to face punishment.”
“Even if she didn’t do anything wrong, if the master wants to punish, she has to endure!”
“Because she is our master, so we should accept whatever comes our way.”
“This is our… oh well, I don’t know!”
The vocabulary of the little maid was limited.
But what she wanted to say seemed to be exactly what appeared in Bai Ze’s mind at that moment.
The word that made her feel icy and profoundly powerless.
—”Destiny.”
