"Someone please come here! The bodyguard!"
Kao Jing repeatedly shouted inside his cell, but no one was willing to bully him. The surroundings looked silent, completely silent and dark, with almost no sign of life.
Kao Jing shouted, roaring to himself crying over something uncertain. He felt a very real loss, no matter what and without being able to find out the facts to anyone. The pain felt turbulent in his heart, without him noticing the tears began to melt. He had no problem feeling lonely in this prison, but his heart could not accept when the unpleasant feelings continued to be felt.
Kao Jing's bowed head slowly lifted as her ears caught the sound of footsteps approaching. He rushed up and walked limped towards the iron door, his old pair of legs began to be attacked by parental disease, because living in a damp and dark place that caused pain in his joints and muscles.
A guard came with a tray full of food rations. It is usually sent twice a day, but today it is sent only once, even in the late afternoon. Not without reason, all the guards and servants were busy mourning and putting aside the less important things, including Kao Jing who was a rebel.
Kao Jing was surprised to see the plain all-white clothes the bodyguard was wearing. The shades of grief were so laden in sight, but who died? That was what was in Kao Jing's mind.
"Who died?" Kao Jing asked seriously, as the bodyguard slipped food from the sidelines of his cell.
The bodyguard looked at Kao Jing for a moment in silence, the seriousness of Kao Jing's mimicry making him unable to ignore his questions.
"Great master Li San Jing has died."
Kao Jing flinched in shock, his hand slipping off the iron bars grip, following a step back one step in his shock.
"When? When's she...." Kao Jing was unable to continue, unable to name her sister after she found out she had died.
"So early in the morning." The bodyguard replied briefly, he could not do much more than convey the information as asked.
Kao Jing budged, feeling a real sadness. He thought maybe this was what made him feel unsettled this late. The sense of loss that seems real is a sign that he will lose his younger brother. Kao Jing's distant-looking mind was awakened when the bodyguard turned around to leave her.
"Wait!" Kao Jing's shout prevented the bodyguard from passing.
The tall, sturdy man stopped, obeying Kao Jing's request. He looked back, looking at the sad old man.
"Please tell Liang Jia, I'd like to pay my brother one last tribute." Lirih Kao Jing begged.
The man seemed to think for a moment, "Sorry sir, but now the decision-maker depends on the new ruler appointed the great lord."
Kao Jing frowned in surprise, "Who? Xiao Jun has ascended the throne?" Kao Jing asked curiously, if he was still in prison it meant that Chen Kho failed to seize power and Li Sa's designated successor was definitely Xiao Jun.
"Our new ruler is the fifth lady, Miss Li Yue Hwa." The guard replied firmly.
Kao Jing was aghast, really a big surprise for him to hear the news. So shocked that he fell silent in a chaotic thought, if the fifth lady had returned, it meant that Chen Kho failed to kill her. Where is Chen Kho now? Why didn't they put him in jail? Did Chen Kho manage to escape?
Questions ran through Kao Jing's mind until he was unknowingly left behind by the bodyguard. After disappearing from his sight, Kao Jing regained her senses and shouted again.

"Everything's fine, isn't it, dad?" Xiao Jun asked who was aware of his father's movements that seemed to suspect something.
Haris smiled faintly, "It's done. We have to secure the situation until the funeral is over." Haris's orders.
Xiao Jun nodded in understanding, "Uncle Lau and the others are on their way, within an hour they must have arrived father."
"Good, it should indeed pay the last respects to the great master. All that is lived by him is worthy of loyalty. Where is Miss Yue Hwa?" Haris asked who was looking for Weini.
"He was with his brother inside." Xiao Jun replied as he glanced inwardly, where Weini and his two brothers were.
The place Xiao Jun was referring to was the small room behind the main hall, where Weini was talking to his brother, Yue Xin da Yue Xiao. In a mourning mood, the two Weini sisters asked for time to talk to Weini.
"Sister, I've been expecting this meeting for a long time. We haven't had a chance to talk after you got home, I just wanted to let you know that we both agreed and didn't mind my decision at all. We recognize you as your father's successor, and believe you are capable of being a good leader." Yue Xin said sincerely.
Weini could feel that sincerity from her brother's gaze, she knew the two of them did not have a bad feeling on her.
"Thank you second brother, fourth sister, Yue Hwa will try not to let you down." Weini replied while half-dropping.
Yue Xiao grabbed Weini's hand, his smile expanding full. "Sister, I'll count on you. Although I'm your brother, but I'm not tough like you. I can't do anything and don't like to work hard, I hope you don't mind saving me." Ogre Yue Xiao.
Weini and Yue Xin laughed at the innocence Yue Xiao admitted her weakness. Yue Xiao laughed as if confirming what he said.
"Sister, you have to find me the best mate. I don't want to be single for long." Pinta Yue Xiao while laughing.
"Can't you find your own? beautiful and graceful brother, which man would dare to reject big brother?" Temptation Weini.
Yue Xiao shook his head, "No... I can't do anything, I just know play, shop, relax, I'm lazy to learn. Hmmmm... Brother, is it too late if I study now? At least be a woman who can be independent." Yue Xiao asked solemnly.
Weini nodded, her smile wide and very loose. "Sister, I'm also lazy to study, I hate school, my grades are low, but I can finally find what I like and do. So it's never too late as long as you try. Yue Hwa will help you."
Hearing that, Yue Xiao could not bear it anymore and immediately rushed into Weini's arms. The spirit of Weini makes him feel plong and have the courage to face new things. "Thank you my sister...." Sleek Yue Xiao was still hugging Weini, and Yue Xin was hugging her two younger siblings tightly.
Suppose they realize sooner that brotherhood is above all else, that the bonds of blood are thicker than water, perhaps the two Weini sisters would not spend so long to harbor envy towards their youngest sister. The younger brother they had predicted long ago would be the successor of the family. In fact, getting along was indeed happier, and Weini was indeed very worthy of being the successor of their clan.
