Killer Reincarnation
Chapter 9. Palaces
“What's up, Miss? You look less healthy,” Xia He said putting side dishes on the table, Lien Hua shook his head.
“I'm fine, just feeling a little dizzy. Will definitely be healed.” Lien Hua smiled faintly, she glanced around and found no one.
“Where are the others?”
“Ohh, the other waiter is on leave because there is family business. He said, the prince will also be engaged to one of the daughters of the Lord minister.”
Lien Hua ooh, she ate her breakfast quietly.
“Oh yes, Miss Lina. I'd like to ask your permission, tomorrow morning I want to go home to meet my ailing grandmother.”
Lien Hua glanced at Xia He at a glance. “Hem, whatever. Oh yes, please buy some items at the market later in the day. I'll give you the note you need to buy,” said Lien Hua who was still busy with her breakfast.
“Good, Miss.”
...----------------...
“Egh, now it's time to relax. But, weird. I don't see Black anymore, did he say again?”
Lien Hua filled her spare time by reading books in the library, Lien Hua searched for books randomly until she accidentally found one black book.
With high curiosity, Lien Hua took a chair and rode it. He then picked up the book and jumped down from the chair.
'Why is this book so dusty?' inner Lien Hua while patting the book and removing the dust covering the book title.
“Mantra magic?”
“What book is this? Is this a book about magic or how to use magic? It seems quite interesting, better I read it too.” Lien Hua placed the book on top of another pile of books, she then sat on the floor and leaned against the bookshelf.
He picked up one of the books and opened it, Lien Hua coughed as dust suddenly flew from inside the book.
'Are all these books dusty?' Lien Hua sighed, she diligently read the books until subconsciously. The sun has set.
Until, the sound of knocking on the door distracted Lien Hua. 'Has Xia returned? But this- uh, it's afternoon? I was unconscious.'
“Nona Lina, what are you in?”
“I-iya, I'm here. What's up?” lien Hua asked and closed the books.
Xia He opened the library door and walked in. “Nona Lina, Minister and Mistress are waiting for you under.”
“Again? Why are they always here?” muttered Lien Hua, he stood up and picked up one of the books at random. With quick steps, Lien Hua walked out of the library towards the living room followed by Xia He from behind.

“khem... What's wrong? Why are Mr and Madam ministers to the residence of an ordinary girl like me?”
“Lien, I'm here because I want to discuss something.”
Lien Hua looked calmly at the Minister who spoke in an uneasy tone. “About? Oh wait, let me guess! Surely Mr. Minister here wants to talk about the engagement by force, right?”
“True, how did you know?”
Lien Hua glanced at the Madam Minister who had just been silent, The minister who noticed Lien Hua's glance sighed.
“It looks like your mom already told you everything, huh?”
“Ralat! Ex-mom!” lien Hua said quickly, The Minister immediately looked at him fiercely.
“What? The affection? Mom, ahahaha. Are you joking, Mister?” lien Hua asked while laughing out loud, she wiped away the tears welling up in her eyes.
“Khem..well, back to the original destination. About the engagement, you can give me what as payment?”
“Bay?? You-”
“Already, Sir. Lien, didn't we talk about it yesterday?” the Madam Minister asked, Lien Hua nodded confirming.
“Yes, it's true. Then, why want to discuss the engagement we have discussed? Did you guys lose topic?”
“Lien Hua, we're here so you can come to the palace tomorrow.”
“Hm, no need to be so bothered. Ladies and gentlemen, I'll go alone! So, we'll meet at the palace. So please don't bother me. Now! Therefore, with respect. I want you to leave my residence, right now!”
...----------------...
'Oh, yes, that's right? Why did they send a horse carriage here?? Very, very troublesome for me!' Lien Hua grumbled inwardly while putting on her hair accessories, after feeling pretty good.
Lien Hua walked towards the courtyard of the residence, where the carriage the Minister ordered had been waiting for him.
Lien Hua rode onto the horse carriage with a sour face.
“Good morning, Miss Li Lien Hua,” greeted the coachman kindly, but only replied to a glance by Lien Hua propping up her chin.
“How long have we arrived at the palace?”
The horse carriage began to walk, Lien Hua stared at his residence which was starting to get far away. “Kira, it took 23 minutes to arrive at empire.”
“Oh,” muttered Lien Hua, she was just silent with a feeling of boredom that filled her mind and the bottom of her heart.
Miss Li Mei'If I had known this was so boring, surely I would have picked up some books as friends on the way. 23 minutes? Huh..I can die of rust if I wait that long without doing anything, sucks! It sucks! It sucks!!'
Lien Hua let out a heavy sigh, she leaned back and looked forward with a calm gaze. 'About, how will that person become my fiancee later? Is he really blind? Hopefully not bad! It doesn't matter, hopefully he doesn't suck or I won't be able to take his life!'
Because he continued to chatter in his heart, Lien Hua until he was unaware that the horse carriage had stopped.
“Nona Li, we've arrived.”
The coachman's voice made Lien Hua realize, she immediately got off her carriage and joined the Minister's family who were already waiting for her.
“I don't think you're here because of shame.”
Lien Hua stared flatly at Li Yao who spoke in a sinister tone. “Gosh, I also thought you wouldn't come because you dared to refuse the betrothal the king proposed. But it turned out-” Lien Hua stared with a dejected look.
“You are very stupid and do not know gratitude, even more than I thought,” continued Lien Hua with a mocking smile.
“You!”
“Already! Let's quickly enter, don't make the imperial family even more waiting. And you, Lien Hua. Keep talking to them, no matter what. They're still your sisters!” reprimanded Minister, Lien Hua screeched cynically.
“Listen yes, if not to return the favor. You think I want to help the family not know yourself that?”
“Lien Hua, enough. Don't fight your father and sister again, let's go in,” miss the Minister who was caught off guard by the attitude of her husband and son.
Lien Hua screeched.
