Chapter 8 — The day I returned, the entire General's Palace was afraid

“Desire!”

The leader of the man in black shouted angrily, threw the frightened Lam Thanh Tuyet aside, picked up his knife and rushed straight towards me. His sword technique is really not bad. Both fast and ruthless, and also carrying the blood of the battlefield. The person he encountered was me. I don't even use "Black Kill". Lean forward, avoid his blade. Then, throw a right. A very simple punch, directly hitting him right in the center of his chest. The sound of bones breaking was so clear that anyone could hear it. The leader was blown out like a torn sack, hitting the pillar behind him, blood spurting out of his mouth, and it looked like he could no longer live. The remaining people in black were completely frightened. They looked at me like they were looking at a monster. No one dared to take another half step forward. My female guards have blocked all the exits. This is a massacre without any suspense. I won't continue to act. I just stood there quietly, watching my female guards one by one take those men in black to hell. The pitiful screams, the cries for mercy, the sound of broken bones continuously echoed in my ears, endlessly. The women who usually only know how to eat vegetarian food and recite Buddha's name, respecting rules and rituals, each of them are scared to the point of stupor. Looking at the bloody scene before their eyes, some people on the spot immediately vomited, others were so scared that they fainted. Only my mother, Mrs. Ly. She did not vomit. Didn't faint either. She just looked at me blankly, looking at this biological daughter whose body was covered in dirty blood, her face without any expression. Her eyes were extremely complicated. From the initial fear. To the shock. Then came the feeling of disbelief. In the end, it turned into a strange light. It is a kind of light that sees hope in despair, sees light in darkness. It was a look up that almost carried some worship. I suddenly felt a bit ironic. For the past sixteen years, you have treated me without question, treating me like a poisonous snake and centipede. Now, I killed a way to live for you, why do you look at me like that? It's truly despicable. The battle ended very quickly. Thirty-six men in black, not a single one left alive. Throughout the entire General's palace, there was a strong smell of blood. My female guards were more or less injured, but not a single person retreated, not a single person complained of pain. The girls stood in two rows, like a group of silent stone statues, guarding my back. And those noble ladies, after confirming that they were safe, finally burst out in earth-shattering cries. The girls hugged each other after escaping the disaster, crying and cursing, using that method to release the fear in their hearts. No one came forward to thank us. It seems like everything we do is natural. And I don't need your thanks either. I walked in front of Mrs. Ly. In her arms, she was still holding her little grandchild who had been frightened into a stupor.

“If you don't want to die, just stay still Stay where you are, don't run around."

I left such a sentence, turned around and prepared to leave. We have to go see if anyone else in the palace has slipped through the net or not.

“Menstruation… Menstruation!”

Mrs. Ly suddenly called me back. There was a trace of trepidation in her voice. I stop walking. But don't turn back.

“In the future… this house… will have to rely on you.”

I laughed out loud. Rely on me? Do you guys deserve it too? I didn't say anything else, just carried the knife and walked into the night. The chaos in the capital was much more serious than we imagined. The General's residence was attacked at night, and the royal palace was also attacked at the same time. The only thing is, the person who attacked the palace was not a spy from the enemy country, but... a rebel. The news that my father "disappeared" in the northern border is fake. The real reason was because he discovered evidence that Tran Bac Vuong was plotting to rebel. On the way back to the capital, he was chased and killed by a large army under Tran Bac Vuong's command.
