The Princess And The Lord

Hours feel like days the time they had given slowly decreased, Lory bites her nail anxiously she walk back and forth in her room until someone knocks on her door, Lory quickly open the door.

"How is it?" Lory said without waiting the man to kneel in front of her. ​​

The shadow guard see her impatient he only gives Lory quick bow before he answer "People in Yang Manor said, Miss yang Xi Yin had leave the manor since morning to visit Li Mo Zhen but she still not arrived yet so everyone also looking for her"

Lory feel her heart droop on the ground, what she's afraid of really happening, the shadow guard sees her paled face he become worried for her "Young Miss, should we investigated it too?"

Lory shakes her head "No, thank you… that's all" Lory hides her anxiety then she closes the door without asking farther the shadow guard confuse but he did not dare to probe so he left.

Lory take a deep breath to calm herself, she can't ask the shadow guard help because she knew they rather locked her up inside her room than let her take the risk she also worry if the enemy knows they might hurt Yang Xi Ying, she needs to go alone but the problem is how could she get out of Zhao Li Xin villa without being caught by others.

[Please tell me you wouldn't come alone to find Yang Xi Ying] Girsha whine helplessly.

[What choice do I have…] Lory sigh.

[You can stay and leave the jobs to your guard] Girsha coaxed her.

[And risked Xi Ying life! People who dare to mess with Hei Shen, Jiu Yun and governor of this city at the same time are probably a very crazy or very strong figure I just pray they are not both because Xi Ying might not make out alive!] Lory rub her forehead.

[You know, that letter is screamed 'TRAP' all over it?] Girsha reprimand her.

[Of course, I know] Lory open her window room to freshen up her room, the enemy purposed is to get her and yang Xi Ying is only the bait, of course, she knew it's a trap but it's also the reason she want to save her because it got nothing to do with Yang Xi Ying.

[We need a disguised and a diversion…] Lory mutter. Than lory see a young gardener swipe the garden, Lory than tilted her head in a deep though, Girsha knew when she acted like this bad thing would happened.

[If I remember I still have firecracker…] she tapped her chin with her finger and than she smiles than she close her window.

In few minutes Lory takes out the firecracker than she takes out the small knife and begins to peel the firecracker, Girsha watches her peeling dozens of firecrackers, after she finishes she spread a paper and sugar on the table.

[Smoke Bomb?] Girsha guess.

[Uh-huh] Lory answer briefly while mix everything inside the paper.

[Thankfully people in this era ignore the safety measure for create firecracker] Girsha amazed how much black powder and sulfur inside the firecracker.

Lory stifles she doesn't know should she feel grateful or worry since children use to play with this things than she wrapped everything together after she make a small fuse [we make Diversion, now its time to disguised]

Then she gets outside thankfully the gardener still outside, Lory waves her hand to call him, the young gardener quickly runs towards her then he bows politely at her.

"Yes, Miss Luo, can I help you?" the young gardener is only thirteen years old his face cover with thin layer sweat, the young boy quiet cute for a man.

Lory feel a bit guilty for this child but she had no time to waste "Come in, I need your help" Lory sign him to enter, the young gardener hesitated but he did not dare to refute her so he enters the room awkwardly.

"Don't forget to close the door!" Lory said again and the little boy immediately closes the door, but when he turn around suddenly he engulf by white powder all over his face later the young gardener falls unconscious on the ground with 'thump' sounds.

Their still remains powder on her palms, Lory mouth twitch "Sorry…."

Lory clapped her hands to remove the powder from her hands than she pull the young boy to the couch then she undresses his outer robes, the reason she choose him is because they have same body feature from behind witch make Lory sad and also because she guess this kid didn't have strong cultivation so a simple sleeping drug would easily make him faint.

After she disguised herself as the young gardener than she give Girsha one of the smoke bomb [You see the desolated warehouse on the backyard, wait five minute before you lit up the fuse…] Lory said.

[Why you make only smoke bomb why not an explosive, that would make a good diversion] Girsha look disappointed.

[Why the hell I want to blow up my owned boyfriend house, are you nuts!] Lory stares at him like he was crazy.

[Coming from a woman who make a bomb inside her room...] he said sarcastically.

Lory rolls her eyes [Come on, we have no time!]

Girsha flew away from the window while Lory got out from the front door she covers her face with tray from behind she does look like the young gardener, thankfully the hall to the back door is empty so she can walk without anyone notice the good thing about Zhao Li Xin residence is, this place didn't have many servants like normal residence would so it's not that hard to avoid servant or maid who passing by.

The problem is even at the villa back door their still a gatekeeper guarding the door so how could she got out without there notice, Lory, hide behind the wall patiently waiting for a certain bird.

Suddenly there's an uproar "FIRE, THERE'S A FIRE!!" someone suddenly screaming and all of the sudden people running in hasted, one of them also screaming frantically "Find Miss Luo, hurry!! The villa can burn to ash but we can let anything happened to Miss Luo!!" and more people run in a frenzy, they are more scare for Lory safety than worry about the villa.

Lory feel very guilty when she heard it, she make promised she will compensated all of them when she got back. The gatekeeper also worry when they hear about lory safety they leave there post and running inside the villa, Lory saw the gate is empty she quickly run out of the gate, she keep running for a few minute when she look back the smoke from the villa already subside.

'So quick!' Lory stunned while panting.

Lory changed her clothes again when Girsha find her [Quickly, they would know you're gone by now!] he said in hurried.

She already finishes changing she put everything inside her spatial ring and just in case she hides the spatial ring inside her boot, she doesn't know how much her enemy knew about her.

[Let's go, its time to save the damsel in distressed] she said after putting a small knife inside her belt.

Girsha flew above her head [Its that make you the shining white knight with the white horse?] he scoffed at her.

[I don't have a white horse but I got white bird] Lory raised her eyebrows playfully.

Girsha's face turns dark [You better not ride me!]
