OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 40 DO I DESERVE?
“Kill!” the screams of a bodyguard command his men who managed to bend Liang Jia. The helpless old woman lost the strength to rebel again. He resigned to death that invites his death. A long-barreled rifle aimed right at his heart.
Doorrrr.
“Tidaaaaaaaak!” Weini squealed as she was. A sweat dripped down his forehead and a breath of fear. The nightmare is really bad.
“Weini? you why?” Haris knocked on the door outside.
The door opened from the inside, Weini appeared with a puffy face and fell silent. He allowed Haris to enter with body language. Weini sat on the bed while Haris was in the study chair.
“Dad, I had nightmares about my mother.” Weini began to sob, even though it was just a dream but the fear was very gripping him.
“Maybe because you miss your mother.” Haris remained calm.
“I... all this time even I've been trying to forget the people of the past. But this, why did my mother suddenly dream of being killed? Dad, can't you find information about my mom? Is he still alive?” Weini
serious about his request. He knelt in front of Haris to beg.
Haris shook his head slowly. “Since we've been here, I've been trying to send a magic message to my family. But there was no reply until now. I still try it until now, but it seems like their fate is also not good.” Haris could not say the word ‘mati’ to his wife and child. He is also horrified to imagine the worst fate that befell his family because of him.
“Your family is also a victim? Because of me?” Weini fell. How great his sin and guilt was to Haris. Just to save his life and drag out the innocent lives of the Wei family.
Haris was silent for a long time. There were no words capable of expressing his gloom.
“That's why, I decided to inherit the entire magic of the Wei clan on you. This science must be no successor because it has been hereditary for twenty generations.”
“Do I deserve, dad?” Weini doubted himself, he was guilty to the Wei family and is now appointed to inherit the family heirloom.
“If Wei Li Jun, my only son is gone, I have no choice but to bequeath to you. This science should not be extinct even if it should be given to people who are not pure descendants.”
“I understand dad. I won't let you down.” Weini looked down respectfully.
“Wake up don't be formal, we're not in the kingdom of the great lord Li.” Haris laughed at Weini's attitude.
“Dad, can we visit Hongkong?” Weini was not satisfied there.
“To deliver our lives? Try to remember again how hard it is to get out of there to maintain life. There our lives are meaningless, here we can fight for life. Someday you will understand that we are still allowed to live until now to get justice.” Haris looks serious. He did not want his daughter to think of a ridiculous plan that would trouble her.
“I understand dad. I won't trouble you.”

Since the night of the new year, Xiao Jun had not contacted Weini again. All his attention was focused on the ancient book that Lau managed to bring safely from Hong Kong. The book with an ancient mandarin script that is almost 20cm thick is an heirloom treasure passed down by the ancestors of the Wei clan. Xiao Jun was still studying at the basic stage, and only then did he realize that his magic ability was still at a low level.
“Maybe this is why my magic sensitivity cannot detect here.” Xiao Jun muttered to himself. The night was late but he had no intention of going to sleep. Every night he used to practice according to the instructions of the book.
Xiao Jun flipped sheet by sheet until he found an interesting inscription that said that only a person of pure heart could learn the white flow magic of the Wei clan. This magic was aimed at Wei's pure descendants as heirs.
“Maybe I deserve to be his successor. In any case I will not let ancestral science go extinct in my father's lineage.” Xiao Jun was fully determined, as Wei's only son, he had that responsibility. Although his name and family had been changed, the blood flowing through his body would not be replaced.
‘But if I have to learn all this new can detect the magic signal here, is it not too late? This science cannot be learned in an instant. How's this?”
Xiao Jun started to get confused, many martial arts and high-level magic that required full concentration to learn them. If he is talented it may not matter, but he must learn on his own without a mentor.
He began to think, there must be a way out to learn to detect the magic of the shipment first. It is better to fail to try than not to try at all.

back to being a lonely girl. Many highlights of envy and hatred from female colleagues, while the men put more love and admiration on her. Weini remained calm in the face of it all, she just needed to be quiet and hold on until graduation a few more months. He no longer needs to see the face of Metta CS and his ex
best friend, Sisi.
Seriously hated him, until now he always threw away his face and avoided Weini. That attitude was clearly a joke for Metta CS, seeing the destruction of their friendship.
“Apaan anyway!” The sided jutek as Metta blocked his steps in the canteen.
“Ga to judge. I'm here to give you a quote.” Said Metta arrogantly
“Gue not interested.” The side just passed. Metta is after him.
“Lu has broken ama Weini, but still songg also.” Sergey Metta ketus.
“Not your business.” Sisi took a seat and was about to eat meatballs.
“What ever, I want us to be friends. Because you're supposed to be with him, so we can definitely clop. Then your kasian also everywhere alone now.” Metta and his gang were whiny.
Silenced, he devoured meatballs as if he had not heard Metta. Just a minute waiting for a response, Metta began to ride the apoplexy.
“Gue again talking to you woi!”
Sisi put the cutlery then looked at Metta. “Gue hopefully he has no business with you. I could be a former friend, but I wouldn't be a traitor. Go sono, make my eating mood down aja.”
Metta's face flushed red, pushed away in a loud voice to the attention of the people in the cafeteria obviously made her lose face. He hurried to hold back his anger.

“Ayaaaah!” Weini screamed in panic when she saw Stevan's sports car parked in front of her house. The man was really determined to pick her up after getting a fresh breeze.
Haris emerges from the course room while fixing the glasses. He smiled as he learned the cause of Weini's longing tone. The young man was seriously chasing his son.
“This is because of dad, he came instead. How am I supposed to go?” Weini was wrong, he was reluctant to go to filming with Stevan. Rumors of cinlok will be getting louder.
“Which is blatantly more polite.” Haris was clearly insinuating Weini. Had the girl not been a cat-cat by hiding the man with her at the time, Haris would not have given this little punishment.
“Lagian Stevan is a good boy, if you like I will also approve.” Timpal Haris's. He had read Stevan's character when shaking hands with him.
“I don't like him. Now how am I supposed to? Dad. You said I could have a car. Buy me!” Weini was still trying to dodge even though a knock on the door from the outside had already been heard.
“Even have a car you need time to study and make SIM.”
“Kak Bams has got a manager for me. He can be my driver too until I can drive.” Whine Weini. the only way that he avoids forced pickups, of course, must look independent.
“OK I will consider. Now open the door first and greet your guests. Don't be disrespectful.” Haris pushed Weini's body slowly to respond immediately to the knock on the door that had been heard for five minutes.
Weini patted her cheek, she had to perform for her father. If only Xiao Jun had come... oh no, why even mention her name? Weini shook her head tightly, breaking her mind about the man.
