OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 467's
Kao Jing stared at the bowl of food brought for her rations today. Not much, just a portion with a decent side dish but did not succeed in arousing the appetite of Kao Jing. He stared at the lack of rice and the side dishes nearby. Suddenly Kao Jing's eyes sparkled, like getting something fun. His attention was drawn to the fork on the vegetable plate. Slowly his hand reached out to take the fork.
His mind was more empty, the fork he lifted and glared at the light coming from the hole of the wall.
"Ha ha ha ha ha...." Chen Kho's laughter broke, I don't know what was funny to him to laugh so hard. Until the laughter turned into cries, the old man screamed in a heartbreaking voice. Slowly and without a doubt he swung his fork and....

Weini entertains its guests in a family villa that is quite luxurious and has many rooms. Some servants were already stationed here to serve them. Now Weini and the others are sitting cross-legged on the pendopo, befriending the delicious dishes served on the table.
"You must have been hungry during the journey, let's enjoy." Weini said softly allowing her guests to eat.
Dina who was the most excited responded, her nod of her head repeated many times and was extremely firm. "Miss knows best about our stomachs. hehe." Said Dina without shame. He took his chopsticks, although this was his first time but he did not think it was difficult. Dina often watches in Chinese dramas and sees them eating with chopsticks so easily.
But Dina's confidence was broken when she squinted the rice in her bowl, which had a pair of chopsticks misses without successfully chopping a grain of rice. "Eh?" Dina chirps spontaneously, his fire spirit began to extinguish, changing resentment because it was not that easy to conquer chopsticks.
Another story with Stevan, he easily clamped vegetables and ate rice in his bowl. his expertise was not spared from the observation of Dina who at that time also protested.
"Kok you can anyway? Your chopsticks have glue?" Dina Protests.
Stevan chuckled at it, as did Grace and Fang Fang sitting next to Dina who were laughing, pitying if they openly laughed at Dina's innocence.
"Yes, I'm learning. Where there's glue, all chopsticks are the same." Stevan then went back to eating.
Weini smiled at her friend's behavior, what a warmth of friendship she longed for. Not felt friendship between him, Stevan and Dina who used to also often colored with their funny behavior when disagreements, and all the attention to Weini, unfortunately has reached the limit. From now on, it won't be the same. Weini had to separate from them and live her real life.
"Like this way, try to follow me huh." Fang Poking Dina then demonstrated how to hold the chopsticks and wear them.
Dina enthusiastically listened, let alone looking at Fang Fang lightly using it. He tried to practice what he had just learned.
"Slow down, control your strength when you're chopping, don't be too hard and don't be too soft." Fang Fang Fang.
Dina nodded in understanding then tried it, she chopped the vegetables on the plate and succeeded. Immediately he put it in his mouth and then stuffed the rice as Fang Fang was demonstrating.
"Yeeeee." Dina cried after chewing her food.
"Yeeee... Congratulations, you passed the first stage of the daughter-in-law selection. If you want to be the son-in-law of the Chinese, you should be able to eat with chopsticks loh Din." Chirps Stevan lightly but was taken seriously by Dina.
"Seriously huh? Asyikkk.. means I easily dong get blessing he he he he...." Reply Dina with a flowery heart and a red blushing face. Anyway anything related to Ming Ming, he must be directly baper.
Weini frowned upon hearing Stevan and Dina's realm of speech that she did not understand. "Chinese son-in-law's candidate? Dina's sister is dating Chinese?"
"Yup, you should know... Uh.. sorry." Stevan immediately corrected his words after getting delicacy from Grace.
"I mean the lady should know that Dina is in love again. When we're in trouble, he even took a vacation abroad and guarded the same handsome bodyguard. Well the results of the holiday, the same guy worshiped Dina. Isn't that Din?" Stevan's temptation after softening his language on Weini.
Weini looked at Dina with a smile, so glad to hear the good news. "Congratulations, Brother Dina, finally met his soul mate. If there's anything, don't be afraid of the story." Weini.
"Thank you, non, miss don't want it that's how the story can I be? I'm willing to tell Miss. he he he...." Said Dina can't wait to show off her new love story for corn.
Weini nodded, "Let's set the time. I'm ready to shove." Weini Muttered.
Grace had already finished her meal, occasionally staring at Weini with a sad look. Weini who had a sensitive feeling also realized there was something Grace wanted to say to her. Weini immediately looked at her cousin gently and said, "Grace, can you come with me for a moment?"
"You just keep eating, if less tell the waiter to add the portion. Me and Grace talk for a second." Said Weini then stood up and walked away from the pendopo followed by Grace.

"Thank you, you understand that I want to talk." Grace muttered slowly.
The two girls moved to the fish pond, the night sky was getting dark but they were more comfortable there.
"No need, I want to talk to you. Just you first, what do you want to say?" Weini.
Grace was stunned for a moment, then arranged the words she wanted to convey. "This is about my father.. lady, what are your plans for my father's next sentence? Sorry.. I don't mean to ask too much, but I hope I can beg her for leniency."
Highlight Grace's eyes placed full hope on Weini. This was all he could do as a child, no matter how his father treated him, even though he was no longer considered, but Grace only had one family left now.
Weini sighed, she stared in the shade at Grace. "I want to discuss this matter with you as well. You know that I've just been appointed successor, but I haven't been formally appointed yet. I met your father yesterday, saw his condition firsthand I honestly can't bear to let him spend his old age there." Lirih Weinis.
Grace gasped, becoming increasingly curious about her father's condition. Unconsciously excited, he approached Weini and clasped Weini's hand with both hands.
"How's my dad doing? is he good? Did he eat enough? can he sleep?" The question came out irregularly from Grace, her eyes were round and even teary. Leaning anything about the people closest to him is indeed vulnerable to invite tears.
Weini tightened her grasp, smiling gently in return for the sake of winning Grace. "The conditions are not good, I have to be honest with him about Brother Chen Kho. After all, uncle should know that reality. He has a sensitive feeling, he knows that brother Chen Kho is gone."
Grace was trembling, her knees were limp for a moment until almost drooping, lucky Weini was quick to pull him up to not fall on the ground. Tears streaming from Grace's two eyes, a little sobbing was heard clearly in the silence of the night.
"I have to how else now? I couldn't do much when I knew my father was suffering. I'm his useless daughter." Weeping Grace in her unwillingness.
Weini hugged Grace, patting her on the back. She understood very well what Grace was feeling, especially knowing that her uncle was not entirely at fault.
"You believe me, don't you? You believe I must have helped uncle."
Grace sobbed but she nodded her head.
"Wait for the day of my appointment to arrive, when the title of ruler has been officially obtained, there is one undisputed request as a gift of the new ruler. At that time, I will ask for forgiveness for uncle. You must understand my position, even though my father crowned me as his successor, but not a few officials who disagree. Moreover, the matter of uncle being considered rebellious has already spread throughout the country, I cannot just let go without strong requirements. Otherwise, they would consider me unequivocal or inappropriate to be a leader. We are the same from this Li clan, I will not let anyone underestimate us. So please be patient, and wait for me to finish according to my plan." Weini muttered at length which was quite understandable by Grace.
"Miss, I didn't think you could think of this watermelon. You are so wise and mature, I really respect you. I am proud to see you lead our clan. My salute, long live long." Grace broke free from Weini's embrace and paid her respects.
Weini refused the honor, she immediately ended Grace's kneeling act. "Have it, there's no one here, don't be so formal. Let's get up." Pinta Weini while helping Grace stand up.
At the same time, there came two bodyguards who were looking for Weini since.
"Honor to Miss Yue Hwa." The two bodyguards were compactly kneeling.
Grace and Weini immediately fixed their positions, unpleasant to be a spectacle of others like this.
"Wake up, what interest are you here for?" Weini asked that made Grace amazed because it can be very authoritative when dealing with bodyguards, but can be gentle and friendly when with Grace and her friends.
"There's bad news going on, it's about Mr. Kao Jing, Miss." Said one of the guards.
Grace gasped when she heard the report, "My father why? What's going on?" Grace panicked, and she first took a stance ahead of Weini.
