HIS TRICKY CAPTIVE : CHAPTER 151 – 160
PALACE OF YONGXI
Asa stood at the palace gates. The well at the maid’s quarters was under construction so she and the other servants came to fetch water at the well close to the palace main gates which was like twenty miles away from the servants quarters.
“I heard the civil service exams will be held tomorrow morning, did you apply? It’s our only chance of becoming a noble instead of being servants all our lives”.
A female servant asked the other, beside Asa as they both fetched from the well, same as Asa.
“No, I didn’t send my form. I’m not smart enough to take the exams.
I heard the Emperor will be setting it himself and that eagle-eyed Kai will be the only one invigilating the whole system. How do you expect me to pass without any help? ” The other servant said and every other servant smiled.
“That Kai can be really annoying at times. Just like when he pushed Mori because she was putting that proud thing in her rightful place!”.
A servant scoffed glaring at Asa who was busy filling her second crock with water and the other servants followed suit in the glaring.
Because of the constant working under the sun, Asa had experienced numerous sun burns and her skin wasn’t like before anymore.
Though she was still pretty compared to every other servant, she looked completely different from her past self.
“Well let’s keep that aside! At least we servants can still apply for the civil service exams to become ministers unlike someone whose family name has been wiped off the whole Yongxi register”.
The same fat servant who had been warned against talking trash to Asa said.
“Poor thing..but how I wish she was a slave with no say at all, just like her family did to others”. Another servant said.
“Her innocent skin won’t be able to endure the harsh treatment”. Another servant said, expecting a reaction from Asa who ignored them.
Then Asa was done filling the second crock with water. She packed her scattered hair up in a bun, with a rope.
Then she raised up a crock of water over her head, and was already walking away with the hope of coming back for the other crock only for her to hear a crash behind her.
And her eyes widened when she turned only to see her second crock of water wasting on the sandy ground, the crock was already broken.
The servants then giggled annoyingly at her.
“Sorry the stone in my hand slipped and broke your crock”. A servant darker than the others said and the others laughed..
“Quick!! Come up with an excuse to give the head maid, we’ll back you up!”. The fat servant Mori said and the others laughed mockingly.
Asa glared angrily at them but turned to go and drop the crock she was carrying in the servants quarters.
“She didn’t react? Where’s she going?” The fat servant asked her fellow who gasped.
“What if she’s on her way to report us to Kai?!”. She muttered and the fat servant scoffed before moving closer to leaving Asa.
“You should know Kai is on a different level from you! He’ll surely grow more influential since he serves the Emperor so stop bothering him with your problems!!!!”. The fat servant shouted loudly for Asa to hear and Asa was forced to stop on her track.
But the moment she turned to face them, the huge gate opened wide and Jurin walked confidently in, her head up high, her pretty long black hair was tied in a very tight ponytail and she held a straight face as she walked.
While Sindura walked beside her dressed completely in white as she used her scarf to cover her face while she stared around in awe.
Asa’s eyes widened instantly and the crock in her head fell to the ground and the content spilling while she stared at her in shock.
“Hey!! You’re in big trouble for breaking two crocks now!!!”. The fat servant yelled but seeing that Asa didn’t reply to her, she turned to where Asa was staring and in shock she fell to the ground.
“It’s the demon girl, she’s alive!!”. The fat servant shouted and everyone, even the guards, turned in that direction and their eyes widened also.
Jade saw Asa staring at her but ignored her till she walked past her.
“She just ignored me”. Asa muttered hurtfully.
‘Is she a servant now? Why?’. Jurin thought as she continued walking.
“Why are they all staring at you like they saw a ghost?”. Sindura asked as they began approaching the main palace.
“I am a ghost to them I think”. Jurin replied and Sindura nodded.
‘If I stay here Damon won’t be able to find me’. Sindura smiled to herself as she followed Jurin, then Jurin stopped walking to face her.
“Why don’t you look around for a little, I have somewhere to be at”. She said to Sindura who nodded and before Sindura could speak, Jurin walked away.
“That’s what happens when you befriend a stranger you met at the market”. Sindura sighed and began walking away.
