Empress
Episode 11 - Celebration
The moon looks so beautiful tonight, the night breeze also looks refreshing. Everyone was enjoying this evening very cheerfully, except for Xiao Shi. He only stared at the moon after finishing with his practice.
" I think lately your abilities have greatly increased Shishi" Yuan approached and sat down beside him.
" Really?"
" Yes, your energy and all your movements are like you're not your usual self. Ever since you saw the Heavenly Flower so many changes have occurred. Including frequent daydreaming like this. Is something bothering you?"
" I also feel like that Yuan, I feel a lot different than myself. But I myself don't understand" Xiao Shi again looked at the mark on his arm, after coming out from where the flower's throbbing on his mark never happened again.
" Is it pulsing again?"
" no. If you'd seen that flower, you'd probably understand"
" You know I'm a waiter. And the waiter's not allowed in there"
Xiao Shi sighed harshly, all this time he had always shared anything with that servant of his. But now he doesn't even know how to tell you what happened there.
" Where did you get that kind of power. What book did you study, why didn't you tell me. My magic seems to lag far behind you, and now that you're getting stronger I'm sure I'm very behind. Why didn't you tell me?"
Yes, all this time Yuan and Xiao Shi did share everything. Every night the two of them would practice magic together and learn everything regarding martial arts. They train together, fight together, sometimes they even travel together.
"You said my magic had reached the highest level. But now you are talking as if there are other levels again" Xiao Shi looked at Yuan with a slightly irritated and confused look.
" By reaching the Magic King level, you are already on par with the Kings of this land. That's the highest level."
" then? What's the problem?"
" I think your magic level now exceeds even the elders. Or maybe more"
" It's just your feeling Yuan"
" But I think you're very strong, so I thought - ashhh has forgotten it, you'll still deny it"
" I just add to my energy, increase my energy, and retain the energy that was already there. I'll teach you later. If you study now you'll turn into a pumpkin" he sneered.
"Xiao Shi! You really!"
" AHAHAHA! Don't get mad, otherwise you'll soon be a pumpkin right now"
" You're a bitch to Shi'er"
Xiao Shi poured his body into the ground, as did Yuan.
" Can't we be like this in front of everybody? I feel comfortable like this. You and I are truly like friends" Xiao Shi turned his head to face Yuan, waiting for the answer that the friend, as well as his servant, would give.
" I wish it was like that too" Yuan turned his head towards him.
Xiao Shi turned his body sideways to face Yuan, with one hand supporting his head.
" Then why don't you do it, I'll talk to my dad, mom and sister if they-"
" No need for Shie'er, I know my limits, in front of everyone I'm still your servant. If I'm being disrespectful to you in public, they'll be gossiping about you too, I don't want people talking bad about you. Besides being your friend in private is more fun. Didn't you?" Yuan raised his eyebrows staring at Xiao Shi.
" You look like a Lesbi"
" Lesbian?"
" Yes, same-sex fans"
" WHAT?!! You're crazy Shishi, I'm normal"
" Yes yes, let's just say I believe your lies"
" You-!!"
"HAHAHAHHAA" they laughed together like a friend who had been friends for a long time.
Yes it is true, sometimes a relationship can not be seen from how long they know each other. But how deeply they know each other's character. There are friendships that have been known for years, but they cannot understand each other. There was a friendship that was only a few months old but they were already very understanding of each other. Humans are hard to guess.

Today is the day of the royal harvest. The entire palace was full of people passing by while carrying a lot of crops. This event is led by the Queen, later the Queen will see one by one her harvest. If the harvest is good then there will be gifts and given value and he can follow the celebration the following year and can sell his crops out of the kingdom. But if the value is bad then he should not sell it out and should not follow the celebration in the following year. He will follow her the next year.
In this celebration there is also a royal banquet given, this is what attracts the public, also on this day the royal gate is opened to the public. Anyone can enter the palace.
" I don't know why I like it so much when I see everyone happy like this" Xiao Shi looked around, the people and the royal staff mingling there. There was no social gap or status difference, it was a beautiful sight for him.
A boy ran and walked up to him alone, the boy saluted Xiao Shi.
" Daughter Lord" Respect her while bowing her body. Xiao Shi tried to align his body with that boy, he was around 5 or 6 years old when viewed from his height.
" Hey, where are your parents" Xiao Shi felt anxious at the child, the little boy looked handsome.
" They were chatting there" the little boy pointed in the direction where his parents were.
" So, what's going on with you?" this time Xiao Shi clasped the child's hands together and looked at his eyes softly.
" I just wanted to ask. Can I?" heed
" Of course. Tell me, what do you want to know?"
" Why does the color of your shirt not change? You only wear these colored clothes every year. Do you like this color?" the little boy asked with a very adorable face.
Xiao Shi scrunched his forehead. He is a smart boy at his age who is still very small. He could pay attention around even remember her. Xiao Shi hoped that this child would enter the royal sphere one day, so that he could devote his intelligence to the kingdom.
Yes, if calculated, it has been almost 2 years Xiao Shi is here and he does happen to always use blue clothes during celebrations.
This was the second harvest celebration he attended. I don't think time goes so fast here.
" Hm. Wh why? Do I look ugly wearing this?"
" No"
" I just love some colors so my clothes only have a few colors"
" So, you like blue?"
Xiao Shi nodded his head.
" Ah, I get it"
" Should I try another color?" Xiao Shi asked.
" No, you're pretty wearing that color" hearing the praise that the little boy was giving Xiao Shi wanted to laugh out loud. How can a child this small learn to fight.
" really? But you can't see my face"
" But you still look pretty"
Xiao Shi stroked his head gently, then he saw the two child parents as if they were looking for something.
" It seems like your parents are looking for you, go, don't worry them" the little boy nodded his head again, then gave a farewell before he went to his parents.
" Goodbye Princess"
Xiao Shi waved his hand ushering in the boy's departure.
" Aren't you adorable, princess?" Ask Yuan.
" Yes, you're right"
As he was about to continue his journey around the party, Xiao Shi felt a strange tremor within him. His heart was beating very fast.
What is this feeling, why am I like this.
" Daughter, are you okay?"
" Yuan, come with me. The Heavenly Flower is in danger"
" What?!! But my daughter-"
A second later they both disappeared suddenly. Xiao Shi brought Yuan to the heavenly Flower Place with his magic so that they would arrive there sooner. When Xiao Shi arrived, he saw all the guards lying unconscious. Of course it made Yuan and Xiao Shi panic and decided to go deeper.
As he was about to approach the entrance of the Flower Room, Xiao Shi noticed that someone was trying to open the door. He kept casting his magic on that door hoping it would open. But it didn't work. He kept trying it many times, Yuan had wanted to get to him but was being held back by Xiao Shi.
At the sight of that person, Xiao Shi saw the image of a middle-aged woman lying weakly accompanied by her three children. Two little boys, a man and a woman. And the oldest is the man, and the man is him.
If his mother is sick, what is she here for? And break through this guard.
Xiao Shi stepped forward a little closer.
" Who are you?!!"
