39 She Was Home (2/2)

”Then do you know what you did wrong?”

Smiling wide Rin giggles, ”Yes, of course. Next time I plan to head out I'll be sure to leave a longer note.”

Commander Bai stared fiercely at his grinning granddaughter with narrowed eyes.

Flick--!

”Aiya, you are indeed asking for a fierce beating you little brat!”

While the old Commander let out his small tantrum towards Rin, the soldier who had been there from the beginning stared awkwardly at the two of the side.

Why was he so unfortunate to have to witness the Commander's childish whining?

And why was the Young Miss dress as a young boy?!

…

After Commander Bai spoke a few lecturing harsh words and flicks, he ordered a servant to set them up a pot of tea and snacks.

Currently sitting peacefully across her grandfather with lavender tea, Rin takes a calming sip - in the center of her small porcelain forehead was a rosy red mark.

Ah, who knew her grandfather would be so scary when he was giving a lecture. Never had Rin thought a flick could inflict so much damage!

Once drinking a few sips of his fragrant tea, Commander Bai places his dainty cup down to stare sternly at the crossing-dressing girl in front of him.

”So, girl, do you mind telling where you've been all this time?” He said with a frown.

Gently placing her cup down, Rin soft rosy lips curl up into a faint smile.

”I took a pleasant visit to the Eastern Empire,” Rin spoke nonchalantly.

Once her direct response was spoken, Commander Bai couldn't help but widen his fierce eyes before furrowing his noble brows.

”Why did you go to the Eastern Empire?” He asked directly.

Already knowing he'd instantly ask her this after she typically revealed her traveled location, Rin merely placed on a serene expression. Her emerald eyes as still as a flowing lake.

”I merely had essential business to attend there. That's all,” Rin said soothingly while quietly sipping her fragrant tea.

”This business wasn't dangerous was it?” Commander Bai asked with silver narrowed eyes.

”Of course not, grandpa,” Rin giggled lightly.

Of course, Rin wouldn't consider typically dealing with such pesky Imperial guards reckless. They were low ranked officers with not a visible bone of martial arts in their body.

How could they possibly be a threat to her?

Dealing with them was like handling a crippled pig.

Clearly to Rin killing those Imperial guards wouldn't be considered an insignificant portion of dangerous. If anything she would consider it a hobby if she could.

Naturally, if Commander Bai were to know if this he'd surely have a fit and instantly give out another lecture never allowing Rin to go out of her room again.

However, she naturally couldn't tell him about her connections with the Eastern Empire's Emperor. Not yet anyway. The day she took back what was her's and killed that bastard, Li Chang, then she would tell her grandfather.

She couldn't allow them to be in potential danger because of her...
