Chapter 8 — The day I was left behind in the abandoned temple, the Princess kicked in the door to welcome me home

“That poison is too overbearing.”

“There is no antidote.”

"If you want to continue living, you can only rely on him to periodically perform acupuncture to prolong your life."

“It was also from that time.”

“He grasped Ta Tri Vi's biggest weakness.”

“Then use it as a condition.”

“He forced Ta Tri Vi to marry him.”

I was stunned. The Princess continued to say:

“Ta Tri Vi doesn't love him.”

“Never been in love.”

“No love from the beginning.”

“But at that time she had no choice.”

“Because I want to continue living.”

“For the Huyen Giap Quan.”

“Because the generals are still waiting for its guidance.”

“She agrees.”

“She married him.”

“Not for love.”

“Not because of emotion.”

“But because he is medicine.”

“It's the only thing that can help your mother continue to live.”

“She married him just because she wanted to live.”

Those words were like lightning hitting my ears. I sit motionless. Just feel my head pounding. The truth is like that. I always thought that father and mother once loved each other. Even though that love has faded. Even though his father later changed his mind. But at least they had love. But now. I just know. From start to finish, nothing. I am not the crystallization of love. We are just the result of a transaction. A transaction built on the mother's life. The Princess looked at me. Eyes full of pity.

“After giving birth.”

"Ta Tri Vi's body completely collapsed."

“The poison that has accumulated over the years has finally burst out.”

“She couldn't hold on any longer.”

“Before death.”

“She even made me swear.”

"After she passes away, absolutely do not make things difficult for the Tham family."

"Don't let your affairs involve the Tham family."

“At the same time, we must protect our children.”

“Protect your child for the rest of your life in peace.”

“She still talked.”

“Unless you fall into the path of life and death.”

"Otherwise, absolutely do not use the power of the Huyen Giap Army."

“Don't let your children get caught up in those dangers and struggles.”

“She said.”

“She has lived her whole life in the shadow of swords and lights.”

“Been killing all my life.”

“There was too much blood seen.”

“Too many people have been lost.”

“The only thing my mother wants.”

“As a girl, I can live like a normal lady.”

“There is no need to dominate the world.”

"There is no need to be famous in all directions."

“Just peace.”

“Just have fun.”

“Just live out your life in peace.”

Speaking of this. The Princess's eyes were red. She turned her head away. It seems like he doesn't want us to see his feelings.

“But I didn't expect it.”

“I really didn't expect it.”

"Tham Kinh, that wolf-hearted thing, dares to treat me like that."

“I didn't expect it.”

“That brat, Tieu Canh Hanh, actually hid another layer of the engagement contract with your mother.”

“Chieu Ninh.”

She turned her head to look at me. Serious eyes like never before.

“What your mother left behind is not just money.”

“It's not just about property.”

“It's not just the Huyen Giap Quan.”

"What she left for me is the strongest support in the world."

“It is the force that countless people dream of but cannot have in their lifetime.”

“Those things all belong to you.”

She took out a small, delicate seal. On the body of the seal is an image of an eagle spreading its wings. She gently placed the seal in my palm.

“This is Huyen Giap's great commander's seal Quan.”

“From today onwards.”

“You are the new owner of Huyen Giap Quan.”

“The one who inherits everything my mother left behind.”

She looked at me deeply. There was hope in his eyes. Just love.

“Call me auntie.”

“Then tell the model.”

“What do you want to do?”

What do we want to do? I looked at the great seal of the commander lying in the palm of my hand. The copper seal is as cold as ice. Not just heavy because of its own weight. But it is also heavy because of the power, responsibility and countless lives that are being carried on it. My mind is still just cooling down. But never as alert as now. What do we want to do? I want everyone who has ever hurt me. Betray me. Deceive me. Trample on me. Everyone has to pay the price. Pay the highest price. Pay with blood. I raised my head and looked towards Princess An Binh Truong.

“I want to know everything about the Lam family.”

“Including their business.”

“The forces behind us.”

“And all the shady things that cannot be brought to light.”

Princess An Binh Truong was a bit surprised. Then burst out laughing. That smile did not hide its appreciation. Nor did he hide his satisfaction. It was like she finally saw Ta Tri Vi's silhouette on her. She immediately spoke up:

“Jiang Van!”
