In front of An xia currently stood Rui and Annchi with their heads bowed. The atmosphere in the room was very quiet, they had been quietly standing before An xia, but An xia still had not started the conversation.
An xia saw the two people bowing their heads, then An xia asked. “Why did you guys bow your head like that?..” An xia asked to test the two of them.
Rui looked at An xia at a glance, then he again bowed his head. “ Reply miss, we are a slave, it is not appropriate for a slave to raise his head before his lord!” Answer Rui politely.
An xia nodded in satisfaction with the answer given by Rui. “Aware of its position, it is good!!.....I like it!!...” Said An xia in the heart.
Then An xia looked at Rui seriously. “Rui, I command you to train with my brother, you just ask my brother to teach you sword and so on, just tell my brother if I am the one who told you!!..” An xia's orders were firmly.
“Good, miss!...”Answer Rui obediently.
An xia nodded, then she again said. “Do it now!!....” Said An xia firmly.
Rui then bowed before An xia, after which she directly left the room. And now only An xia and Annchi were in that room.
An xia looked at Annchi with a face that looked flat, cold and firm. It made Annchi feel very afraid of An xia's figure.
“Annchi, from now on you will be with me all the time, maybe you will see something terrible in the future, so prepare your mind from now on!...” Said An xia.
It was not a command, but a warning to Annchi.
Annchi nodded obediently, he knew that behind An xia's beautiful, graceful, and sluggishness was a dark, raised side.
Annchi had known that ever since An xia bought it, more precisely when An xia brought out a murderous aura when the man who sold her said something inappropriate to say.
Looking at Annchi who was sweating from fear, An xia then changed her cold and firm expression to warm.
The gaze that had been very intimidating, had now turned into a very gentle and friendly gaze, An xia's lips slightly curved and formed a thin smile that was very charming.
An xia pulled Annchi's hand gently to sit on the chair next to An xia. “No need to fear me!... let's have tea together and have a chat!....” Say An xia softly.
Annchi was very amazed with An xia, her nonanya was really proficient in changing her facial expression which was so firm and cold, now became soft and warm. The fear he felt earlier even disappeared somewhere and replaced with a feeling of comfort and safety.
An xia was deliberately being more gentle to Annchi. If he and Annchi get closer, then that loyalty will get deeper..... An xia needs someone who is loyal and can control in this life.
And in the end they both spent time relaxing, as they were joking, and it made Annchi even happier with An xia.

Nightfall.....
Currently An xia was in the dining room together with her family, for some reason the atmosphere was very quiet, no one spoke in the least.
To melt the atmosphere, An changyi opened a voice. “Xia'er, earlier when my father was in the palace, I met the empress.... The empress said that she wanted to see you, so she invited you to the palace tomorrow!..”He said to An xia.
An xia stopped eating and looked at her father while smiling full of gentleness.
“ Alright then, tomorrow I will go to the palace and meet the empress!.” Say it casually.
An xia was sneaky in the heart. “Good, tomorrow I will start the plan!!!.” Said An xia in the heart.
While on the other hand, An fengying and An shilin were currently feeling extremely envious of An xia. They feel jealous!!.... why does An xia always get the best on her side?.... They think An xia is very lucky to be the fiance of the second prince.
Their hearts were very hot, eager for them to eliminate An xia's hornbill. Since childhood the most dear in this family is An xia, just because An xia was born from the womb of a legitimate wife, and they were born from the womb of a concubine...... the affection that An xia had gained was more than they had gained.
Since An xia had already finished her meal, An xia then bid farewell to return to her room.
****
An xia was currently inside her room, She was sitting in front of the mirror with Annchi combing her long hair.
An xia stared at the reflection of herself that was in the mirror, her thoughts were currently filled with a lot of stratagems to cancel her engagement to the second prince.
An xia looked at Annchi through the reflection of the mirror, then she shook her head slowly. “Nothing,.... only tomorrow you and Rui will come with me to the palace!...” An xia's words just now managed to make Annchi nervous when she heard the word palace.
An xia looked at Annchi's face which now looked so nervous, she understood why the servant was nervous. “Annchi, you don't need to be nervous, Me and Rui will protect you, nothing will happen!.” Her words were soothing to Annchi.
Annchi nodded, believing everything the other person said. As long as he was near An xia, any place would be safe.
After Annchi finished with her task, An xia then told her to come out. “Annchi, you can come out, I want to rest!.”Say An xia softly.
Annchi nodded. “Alright miss, I am resigning myself!..” After saying that, Annchi came out from An xia's room.
The door of An xia's room was closed, An xia then lay on the bed, she closed her eyes, but she was still not asleep.
After An xia's old gulup closed her eyes, An xia finally fell asleep in her sleep.

Morning arrives.
An xia is currently preparing to be ready with the help of Annchi. “Nona, you are so beautiful... I am sure that the second prince will love you very much!...” Annchi said, seeing that the nonanya looks so beautiful with simplicity.
An xia chuckled in amusement when she heard Annchi's words. “ I know that the second prince likes me, but I don't like him!...” Said An xia which made Annchi stunned.
Annchi looked at An xia in disbelief, all the women greatly admired the second prince, and what did the nonanya say?....he disliked the second prince?!!!....
Annchi really does not know where the nonanya mind goes.
“Nona, why do you not like the second prince?.... he is a handsome, meek, and most importantly.....he is a prince!!!.” Said the curious about why the nonanya does not like the second pengeran.
An xia glanced at Annchi at a glance, then she said. “That's because I don't love her, I don't feel comfortable being around her either....... and it's very disturbing!!” Said An xia with a hint of annoyance.
Annchi gulped his saliva violently upon hearing An xia's words. “ But, at the moment he is your fiancee miss!!!.... and one day you will get married!..” Annchi said a little agitatedly.
An xia chuckled again. “Married?... are you sure we will get married?..” An xia asked with a mysterious smile before Annchi.
Annchi, who saw the mysterious smile on her beautiful face, made her feel even more agitated. “For whatever it is, may the lady not do something crazy!!!.” Annchi murmured in the heart.
“Annchi!!...what are you daydreaming about?!...” An xia's words arrived which made Annchi gasp in shock.
Annchi looked at An xia confusedly. “iya miss what is it?!...” Annchi asked An xia with a face that was still shocked.
An xia snorted annoyedly, she wanted to reprimand Annchi, but at the moment she did not have much time, she had to immediately set off towards the palace to meet the empress.
“We have to leave now!!...”Said An xia firmly, then she left first.
Annchi, who saw her nonaya go, followed her. “Nona stupid!!!....” He said as he hurriedly followed An xia.
*****
An xia was currently inside the horse carriage alone. While Rui and Annchi were walking outside with the other bodyguards and servants.
After some time, An xia and the others had arrived before the palace gate.The palace gate then opened to allow the horse carriage that An xia rode in.
After entering the gate, Annchi then helped An xia to get off her carriage.
When An xia just got off the train, there was already a palace maid who was assigned to take An xia to the empress' residence.
The servant approached An xia, then he bowed before An xia. “Greetings to first lady An, come... I will take the lady to the empress' residence!.” The waiter said so politely.
An xia looked at the maid with a gentle smile, then she nodded slowly. “Alright, I don't want to make the empress wait!..” Said An xia so gently to the servant.
