A:N 1- Nightwalker- Nightwalker and Prostitute in Ancient China is as difference as night and day! For Prostitute, look up Kusuriya no Hitorigoto manga thus its a respectable occupation hence in those days. You'll learn what Prostitutes are like, while Nightwalkers are our today's equivalent of ahem, sex for money a night and dressed for the occasion...and prone to disease.

2 - Brothel - where Prostitutes live. From apprentices to the highest-ranked Prostitute ruled over by the Brothel Madam who's responsible for bringing in customers and educating the Prostitutes to be classy entertainment women. Those who don't make the cut, are thrown out than waste money on them. Education of a Prostitute ain't cheap by the gold!

3- Sheng Nu: derogatory term for women who remain unmarried in 20 and beyond back. Its a little controversial, look it up in wikipedia.

4. Hypergamy: in the old days, a girl often marries up through an arranged marriage set up by parents by scoping for a man above their status who'd marry their girl. To a husband who's financially better off than her own family. No sane girl will marry DOWN and live a life of poverty! But to make it happen, a girl must have worth to show in order to be marketable as a wife material.

5. Tang Huang: Don Juan to westerners.

6. Cainu: meaning- talented ladies: lowest rank a royal concubine can have in Imperial Harem.


The Future

Chun haven't got much time.

She would be summoned soon once inquiry about the scandal is done.

She had to take a rushed bath just to look presentable because she'll get a summons soon.

Thank goodness for short hair, it saves up on bathing time.

Upon getting out a hanfu set she asked a maid to prepare for her and she got some help putting it on, she went to get out.

'Miss, where are you going?'

'Window-shopping.'

It was a term known in Qin's pavilion, as Chun had heard it from her first mother. So she had it coined in Xiao Household.

It means scoping out the goods and prices, before buying what you wanted. Its basically 'planned shopping'.

NOT looking for new styles of windows to renovate one's house, as everyone once thought when she said it.

Things have now changed in Xiao Household.

With Xiao Yuancheng gone and Xue's death, the mastermind behind Princess Royal's death, poisoning Princess Beiyue and planning on stealing her money via claims of regency, it was lucky the Xiao Clan was spared from her crimes she and her daughter intends to commit, because Chun had planned and informed the Grandqueen in advance and bought their safety with her secret job as the Royal Family Seer.

Despite lack of husband, Qin is now family Furen by default, and Fang the remaining concubine and both women celebrated Xue's death in their own way.

So now there's a family meeting between the adults.

'Fang, Ling, our eldest miss is of age to be married off.' Qin began. 'What is her current occupation?' she asked as Fang looked utterly despairingly resigned and Ling looking awkward due to a change in the household. This gave Qin a bad feeling...

'I tried for years, madam.' Fang said with a heavy heart, referring to Qin politely by her status. 'Ling doesn't want to work nor learn any new skills and protested every single step of the way no matter how much I scold her to.'

This got Qin stunned, shellshocked. A lady of her status with no work nor ability?! Sure no ability in martial arts can be overlooked due to financial situations as most families can afford only their Childe as a martial artist, but any maiden worth their salt must know housewifely skills! And Fang's saying Ling's uneducated because Ling refuses to learn?!

'You can't be serious first miss! Every single girl has to work! Even my Chun'er's working and she's 11 to your 20, my daughters CAN actually cook, have some shame on yourself!' she exploded. 'And you're healthy unlike that withered corpse somewhere who's probably some 2-iron nightwalker right now!' Qin shrieked as Ling cringed. 'Money's not gonna rain on us forever and staying single is unheard of unless you're a barren woman nobody'd marry or a widow like us!' she scolded, banging a fist on the left armrest of her chair. 'From Chun'er's last job doing intel work, war will come soon no thanks to political bullshit in the north! People your age should be married off by now and what man would marry a girl with no skill whatsoever?! Moreover there's the dowry to consider!'

'Dowry?' Ling blinked. She wasn't familiar with that term.

'A Dowry is what the bride's family gives to her husband's family upon marriage...it can be money or material goods equivalent to the rest of her life's earnings had she kept working till old age, because once a girl becomes a wife, she would become a housewife whose only concern is managing the household, soothing her husband after a hard day's work or other things, and children.' Fang explained for her. 'A dowry's amount is based on the girl's job in question which is why I keep telling you to get a job, or we can't come up with a dowry.' Fang told her in a long-suffering voice.

Speaking of Dowry, as Fang was raised a slave, she had no money. All she owns, were granted to all slaves by their master. So her so-called dowry when Master married her was her very life.

Qin wondered what kind of girl this twit is that Fang sounded like she's so done.

'Exactly. And you won't learn any new skill so you wanna stay useless freeloader forever?' Qin glowered at Ling. 'Fang and I have a good excuse as wives as its a man's job to support his family while we manage the household but you're a single girl! That's another story entirely! Either you shape up, or I'm gonna throw you into the brothel for disciplining! At least you'd learn some skills there or be whipped by the Madam of the brothel!' she threatened to Ling's horror. 'So what's it gonna be?!'

'M-mother!' Ling stammered at Fang for help. She didn't wanna be thrown into a brothel! No way!

'You brought this on yourself, Ling'er.' Fang sighed. 'You had ten years, and you wasted those years doing absolutely nothing.' she said. 'Given our status no thanks to your father's doing, our marriage options are limited, especially for you who can't do martial arts. What man above your social status will marry you now?'

They were once a newly-minted noble family when Xiao Yuancheng married Princess Royal, but idiot wasted that chance. Now they're just a normal wealthy family with a soiled reputation through his actions. But their reputation of two women improved.

Fang was a known virtuous modest woman yet taken for granted and neglected by her husband, thus people would say 'she's wasted on him' though to everyone, she was a pitiable person, to Fang's chagrin, but at least she has a good reputation.

As for Qin, she was a 'soiled girl' soiled by Yuancheng when flirting with her on his royal wedding night no less. Angry father disowned her thus Princess Royal forced her husband to marry Qin on the spot for what he's done. It seems to make up for what happened, she raised two good girls in turn. Rou and Chun thus has a chance to marry up as Rou would become an accomplished woman one day, and Chun's value is very high. And in society that practices hypergamy, its unheard of for a girl to marry DOWN, not up!

'Most girls your age have married off by now and most of the good boys gone, leaving behind layabout louts! And there's no way I'm marrying you off to such a man like any sane mother would, but at this rate we have no choice!' Ling choked at that.

'We're not entirely cruel, but I will be if you force my hand.' Qin warned Ling. 'At this rate you're gonna be called a Sheng Nu!*' Ling winced at that. 'At least make yourself a useful sheng nu! Learn some skills or else and you better be married while you still don't have wrinkles! No man would marry a girl with a single forehead crease!'

Thus the Xiao Servants have a lot to gossip about...everyone knows Fang was a troubled mother regarding her spoiled daughter Ling.

Fang was once a slave like them. Their former colleague even, who got lucky when their master fancied her. However, she was in fact, extremely unlucky all along! Her life wasn't like in those romance drama novels where rich and poor fall in love and overcoming all drama for love. Hell no.

Their master had wandering eyes and hands after he married Princess Royal, thinking he's some tang huang now that he got the Fairy of Nanyi as his wife by royal bestowal! He wasn't content, he flirted with Lady Qi, now Concubine Qin resulting in a scandalous marriage and then married his wife's maid, too and rumor has it she seduced her way to his bed, if what they heard from the princess' angry other maids while their lady was risking her neck against Beiyao!

She was thus a forgotten wife to her sadness and wished things had gone differently. Had she married a fellow slave, at least he would never neglect her as everyone in this household knows each other and grew up together. Slaves born within a household is slave from life till death. No pay nor freedom nor marrying up, unless chosen for it and then it all depends on luck.

Fang drew the bad luck. At least she gets money and gets education, stuff slaves can never have. But she wound up foisting her dreams on Ling that girl grew up spoiled and selfish, and a useless freeloader when at 16 she should be engaged and at 20, married to her fiancee by now! Ohhh they knew Fang made an effort, sporting graying hairs out of exasperation in her wake, but stupid girl refuses to listen! Now she got justifiably humiliated by Qin, and not defended by her mother to make her face reality!

'I'll have Chun teach you how to cook.' Qin decided. 'At least you can attract a man through his stomach. Fang will teach you the rest. Speaking, where's Chun?' she asked her maid.

'She says she went out window-shopping madam.' said a maid. 'She probably saw something she likes in the bazaar.'

'Oh well, we'll talk later. But you're NOT off the hook, eldest miss!' Qin harrumphed. 'Fang will teach you all she knows as a wife, but to better appeal, learn how to cook from my youngest. She's the best cook in this household that hopefully, this will be big points in your future so people will overlook your Sheng Nu status! We'll talk about this with father-in-law when he gets back from court for ensuring we won't take the fall for that bitch's crimes!' she grumbled with an armfold. 'Never knew Princess Royal took in a monster...kindness and generosity is OK but at least make sure whoever you're nice to doesn't bite the hand that feeds!' she grunted.

'Father-in-law will be stressed upon coming home, we'd best make some medicinal food to make him feel better.' Qin decided. 'Get me writing tools and paper and we better hurry up. I'm glad Chun pursued this avenue.' she said as her maid quickly took some papers, and an inkwell and brush, thus Qin began writing down what needs to be bought.

'While medicinal cooking is good, I'm shocked fifth miss even thought of it when even we won't think of such a thing.' said Fang, amazed. 'Normally what comes to any housewife's mind in a rich household is gourmet food.'

'That's what I thought so, but Chun's eyes made her see what idiots we have been in regards to our health. She doesn't just see through walls, she also sees information on anything she lays eyes on, be it objects and the living.' said Qin. 'We're eating wrong for years and it affects us in many ways. Father-in-law and Master deems her techniques clan secrets now.'

Once Qiyuan was dismissed by the court from the inquiry he swore made his hair a lot whiter no thanks to his former daughter's actions, he sighed tiredly.

'Hard day on you, eh old Xiao?' another old man asked him.

'Understatement of the year...everything went wrong since that Royal Wedding Night.' Qiyuan sighed. 'My son caused all this disaster. I shouldn't have taken so much Seclusion Leaves so I could have kept a better eye on that idiot. I thought he'd know better, apparently not!' he swore. 'The only good thing in my house is that his other children turned out different. But I never knew there's a monster in my house either. I don't deserve this trouble!'

'Well, trouble comes where you least expect it.' said the old man. 'Life's like a wheel. Sometimes we're up, sometimes we're down.'

'That's a rather cold-hearted truth, but a truth of life anyway.' Qiyuan sighed. 'I better stop these seclusion leaves and ensure the children will keep walking right.'

In a private room...

Out of all Huangs, only the Emperor, Grandqueen and Zhanye who wasn't there knows about Chun's true power. Thus only the two royals were present with Lord Geng.

'Xiao Chun, where is Yue now?' the Emperor asked Chun. 'It's sunset now since she left.'

'A fated meeting occurred.' said Chun. 'A catalyst for the future.'

'Catalyst?'

'Yes. As you know by now through Grandqueen, she enacted her revenge, ending her story here in Linhua City. But another chapter of life will begin for her. The second volume of a book, so to speak.' said Chun. 'As anyone and their ancestor knows, Spirit Beasts who gained enough power gain sentience and a human form. This has to do with her departure. After the idiots from Dongli got fried by the annoyed Spirit Deity, Spirit Deity has taken on his human form as Princess Royal made a deal and bargain with him. As everyone knows, she's a summoner beyond Crown Prince and royal sister's class, but no one has ever seen her beast, with good reason...she's the only Summoner in Nanyi to make a contract with Divine Beast, Spirit Deity himself.'

'WHAT?!'

'Upon her impending sacrifice for Linhua four years ago, she broke their Life Contract, greatly upsetting him.' Chun sighed. 'Noblemen aren't the only ones in love with Royal Aunt y'know...' three jaws dropped at her revelation. Was she that good even Divine Beasts wanted her?! 'Yunli, the Spirit Deity approached royal sister during school in Lingyang. Through some trouble outside as we speak, she finally accepted his tutelage because she was no match for Honglian of Glory Palace and barely got away alive.' the adults before her looked ready to faint from the idea. 'Crown Prince and Princess Yingye never found her and Dongling as a result as both girls got separated from Honglian and Meng Qitian's attack. Yunli only took sister, leaving behind Dongling who in turn is found by a master hand of Xirong Country's Holy Blood Palace.'

'You knew all along but you never stopped these events...' Geng realized.

'Yes. Because by being outside, sister and Dongling plays a key role in that disastrous future I've seen where we are all in an ambiguous state of existence. War. We live or we die, we must fight fate so I can see what's next for us if we survive.' said Chun. 'Sister grew strong under Spirit Deity and Dongling got stronger in Holy Blood Palace...' and she told them of what will happen in Beiyao in five years that will lead to war, and Beiyue and Dongling playing key roles in the future.

'I see...so that's how it is.' said the Emperor. 'With that woman gone, Yingye is safe and won't go to Beiyao to die.' he shook in relief. 'But my son...Xitian is Yue all along?' that, had been quite the shock. 'Zhanye fell in love with his cousin all along.' that was a rather horrifying realization, to say the least for the royals.

'Well, one can't blame sister for having another identity in Nanyi.' Chun sighed. 'That living a lie is far better...but sister made sure to never give Crown Prince any hope because, well...that's illegal. Better to leave than stay.' she looked awkward at the idea of incest. The adults before her grimaced as well while the Emperor looked gloomy before straightening himself.

After all, the apple truly didn't fall far from the tree! Like father like son, only, its his cousin and not sister.

'But I don't feel assured that people of Xirong wanders around without us knowing?!' the Emperor frowned.

'Its the way of Holy Blood Palace...' said Chun. 'They wander the world looking for young girls to take in and they have a technique to sort out flower from weed. A women's only organization, raised to be assassins. Their rationale is golden eggs must be sought. They roam looking for the best orphan girls to take in. Possessing both beauty and talent due to their occupation, thus picky. One apprentice per master. I already warned them of their inevitable separation. Royal Sister told Dongling to milk it for all it's worth and they will meet again in Beiyao, aware of the future I saw.'

'I see...to gain the secrets of Holy Blood Palace, what a shrewd girl!' Geng gasped in amazement. 'We can gain their techniques!'

'Yes. We can only wait what's next if we survive the next five years...our enemies are Dongli and a Beiyao ruled by the treacherous Prince Quan and Empress Ya. Prince Lianyi will take time to regain his throne back as he's in an unfavorable situation right now until he regains power and support usurped from him so we are all in a bind.'

'My god...' the Emperor groaned in dismay. 'War so soon! And its not easy to produce men for war!' Under Chun's guidance, since Princess Royal's death, they took in orphans for education and training on the sly in all counties unknown to County Lords to raise a powerful Imperial Army under the Royal Family to prevent anything like Mu Mixin's army from happening again. They did not discriminate by age or gender to prepare for the upcoming mess, and Lingyang School got stricter with the noble children regardless of their levels.

'We did what we could your majesty.' said Geng. 'When the time comes, the rest is up to fate.' he sighed. 'And I thought things are over...apparently not.'

Five years later...

Chun is now sixteen years old, a known feminine power in Nanyi Country. Her hair grew long up to her knees, and 5'8 feet tall with a shapely-trim figure, having flared hips and c-cup full breasts. For her that's enough. She didn't wanna be like Honglian and Princess Yingye who have it TOO big! Did they stuff melons in there?

She currently attends East College as a Warrior as she long since mastered Summoning Arts long before she turned twelve, for her turn in Lingyang School.

Her fast rise in cultivation was forever a secret due to a cursed seal on her tongue. Talk about it, and she dies. So everyone has to do it the hard way hence. She is currently the second most powerful in terms of cultivation and as a Summoner just next to Emperor Zhanye. The problem? She was too specialized with barely any ability to fight, thus Senior Master put her in Warrior Course to truly gain fighting ability. But even then, she has incredible instincts and learns quick.

By now, her Fire Condor gained the ability to talk as its THAT strong now. She now focuses on raising up money for Rou's cultivation while Qiyuan focuses on Zhonglei's.

But for all her power and fame, she remained as she was in personality. A fresh change from scheming, conniving noblewomen that she unwittingly appealed to some boys in school who didn't wanna deal with high-maintenance girls. And Qin happily arranged her suitor list for her to choose from, now that the pool got bigger, and Chun chose the best for her.

It was fate, she supposed. Can you find another man who only thought of just you for years?

Not that she told her family that.

So an arranged engagement was made hence. Sure she saw the future, but living in it, is another thing entirely...

Her older sister Rou has proven herself worthy of a high score as well.

She has long since graduated her Taixue Course as Taixue only has four-year stints while East College takes WAY longer, and also joined the Warrior Course now that she has the opportunity to cultivate. When she tested this same year, she was allowed entry into the same year level as her younger sister, and even in the same class together to their delight. She is now a Silver Class B Warrior and a better fighter equal only to her younger sister in skill, gaining modern knowledge. The reason she is in Year 4 of Warrior Course, was because of her Cultivation Level, unlike Chun who has Skillset lacking and must learn in school.

But unlike Chun who chose to marry out of love, Rou did what any girl would do, marry as high as she could, and is meeting her fiancee with great care. She appealed to some men with her personality and her great relationship with her younger blood sister when normally, even blood sisters in a wealthy household ruthlessly compete against each other. Even kill each other. Same old story as they've known with their own sisters. So no drama any time soon.

Xiao Rou was engaged to a son of a higher viscount family, the Shou Family's third son, Shou Mao. Viscount as as far as they could go but the sisters don't mind anyway, being greedy is bad. Just look at Xue and Xiao Yun!

They were introduced to their fiancee's families and arranged meetings, and chaperoned dates. The rest is up to them.

However, it's Xiao Rou fighting alone using her years of training to earn the favor of her fiancee and his family, while Chun has it very easy, unknown to the family.

And in these five years, Xiao Zhongqi reached Sword Sage Mastery but due to finances, cannot even step into Warrior Saint Junior. He continues both school, and his job as Mercenary because when he graduates...which he did at age 23, he was required to join the Imperial Military just like anybody else. Like many young men his age, he's a typical soldier, working for promotions. But the transition from earning lots of money to a pittance, was jarring. His monthly salary as a typical soldier, was 100 gold ingots. 2000 gold coins! Heck, even noble sons more spoiled than he despaired worse than he did, thus a mad scramble for promotions began. But the Tianwei Department strictly promotes by merit. In three years through careful bureaucracy, he reached the same rank as his late father, having worked smart. His sister taught him how, that in two more years, he's now a Lt. Colonel. Two rank higher than their father, and earning 4000 ingots now.

Xiao Zhonglei who became an official in the Six Ministries at age 15 earns 300 ingots a month. He had been an official for about two years and was recently promoted, hence his bigger salary than his older half-brother, and works in the Ministry of Works. A rather unpopular position for the power-hungry so nobody who wanted power wanted to work there, but its a necessary position to get construction work done, and its mostly commoners working here. However, its also the most peaceful office! He deliberately put himself here to further distance himself from his mother's reputation. He also has the training of a Silver Class A Warrior. And in two more years as Chun predicted, he was the only one capable of succeeding Wen Xinghuo when the elderly man retired a wealthy retirement, earning 6000 ingots a month. It was when he was 19 that he was the youngest Department Head EVER. Due to his ambition and working smart, he had such accomplishments. He feels satisfied enough as nothing good comes to the greedy. At least he can live well.

He now lives in the mansion formerly occupied by his predecessor, and even inherited the servants working there. He ordered the mansion cleaned top-to-bottom, garden being remade to his tastes, and the furniture changed after studying what looks classy and elegant. As a reward to his servants for all the hard work, he changed their food.

By tradition, slaves eat only a boring bowl of boiled grain. Well, they are lived and raised like livestock after all. He had asked his youngest sister Xiao Chun on what food can be given to his servants without being too taxing on his purse, and got a few recipes from Chun. All in all just costs him 100 gold coins a month for a simple healthy living in rice porridge with choice healthy herbs, condiments and vegetables, and Soup, having three meal structure. Now his servants eat a bowl of soup, a vegetable dish and rice congee with sliced eggs on top.

His servants became much eager workforce for him now, considering Chun was a very good cook she made something so cheap LUXURY. She also gave him a cookbook to eat well and a meal structure for balanced healthy meal for daily meals, and healthy banquet dishes if he has to hold a party or hosting guests. Glad to know he has a kind youngest sister at least who worried for his health. But he ordered the servants to train hard in the difficult art of roasting and marinading whole meats. Rabbit. Bird and Poultry. Pig. Lamb and Mutton and Calf using her techniques to make up that slaves can't do what she could. That, and master the banquet cookbook as he has one year before he would start hosting a banquet. Every month, the Ministers will take turns hosting banquets so he cannot lose face!

He knew he'll make it in time. One year and all is well in his life.

Xiao Ling was a known Sheng Nu alright, that it took her until age 25 to get married!

She was forced to learn and endure how to clean, do the laundry, change baby's diapers(thanks to slave women who gave birth), weave textiles, sew and embroider from her mother Fang, how to manage a household from Butler Zhou, and how to cook and making herbal medicine from Chun as she can't do pharmacy. Her occupation was selling herbal medicine in the market for commoners who earn by coppers and silvers. All in five years or Qin will deliver true to her threat. Ling had to do these with great chagrin as she sees herself as a lady who shouldn't have had to work labor, but must know all skills because there's no telling what kind of husband she'd get based on her value. Reality was, no husband would want a useless wife. Qiyuan had to tell her that as wives have duties in the house, even if they were wealthy ladies with servants!

At least with Chun's knowledge in herbal medicine, she earns by silvers per product. Her Marriage Dowry amounts to 50000 gold ingots hence. Not so big but at least, she can have a higher chance of getting married among wealthy commoners.

Because she was 25, it was really a challenge to market her as a bride.

She eventually got a husband in the Imperial Court, a military official who took a fancy to her.

But unlike nobles who have arranged marriages until 20, commoners marry IMMEDIATELY regardless of how old you are. As soon as the agreements was made, Ling was married off asap, complete with a red carriage ride to her new home and now...somebody else's problem. That 50000 dowry gained would be of little consolation if Ling refuses to change and adjust.

As for Xiao Yun who now lives in the slums where reputation doesn't matter, thanks to basic martial arts skill and body training a child would have gotten after building Spirit Foundation, a brittle, skinny body didn't matter when it comes to strength, but in stamina, she grossly lacked that Yun had to develop sneakiness. She only knows the basic of basics as much of her time was devoted to rehabilitation and body training.

In the slums, nobody knows her.

But its also where the worst and most miserable of the poor are here.

It's also here where the strong rule and weak die.

A world where you're on your own.

A world of ruthless beasts where it's eat or be eaten.

Whoever put her on shameless display in Bugi'er Bazaar cut off her long hair up to shoulder length, and the authorities threw her here with just her inner garment on her back and she was barefoot.

She became prey to beasts whom she fought off of her and killed.

She managed to survive by stealing and being a pickpocket in the commoners' market, striking at taverns and victimizing well-off drunks.

She wanted to get out of Linhua as she obviously has no future here. So she bid her time. Once she saw an opportunity with some farmers, she bribed using stolen money she got, and managed to get out of the city and cooperated with some chores. Her body's ruined by slum life.

Then when she saw an opportunity as she can't worm her way in wealthy households lest she be found in Linhua should family pay a visit to city for business, she went to Dongli for anonymity, and do what her mother did to get wealthy.

She applied as a maid in a wealthy mansion and bide her time...however, it was the mansion of Wei Wuchen she applied work in and life in his mansion was cruel that servant turnover rate is very high. Slaves dreaded working for the man's mansion that Yun didn't last three days and ran away, applying in royal palace's Imperial Harem instead.

Much safer! But the work is insane!

Hopefully she becomes Royal Concubine after enduring shitty meals for court ladies! She ate better as a slum rat, damnit! Her food here is thin, bland soup and millet porridge! Disgusting and not even filling after working insane amounts of chores all day! And she sleeps on the floor on bamboo mats her back and head hurts! She really can't wait to go up!

She snuck into the personal chambers of the Cainus and stole cosmetic pills to improve her skin. It was good she blended in too well and never made friends as it'll make beautifying herself unnoticed harder.

Too bad she can't have Jade Skin or she'll get executed. She wasn't stupid.

She'll console herself with peach tan skin, and skin so soft and smooth like a baby's, and her wiry, dry hair normal condition by standards. Her non-existent chest is finally worthy of being groped. But she had to be careful as she was so short from years of illness in bed, and big breasts only looks good on tall women, not short women. Her mother was tall and then there's her...

(for seventeen, she's 5'0)

Curse Princess Royal!

Due to her looks, she was eventually promoted to be a handmaiden.

Handmaidens get paid, thankfully. Slaves who do all the cleaning and washing don't get paid!

Food is much better too. She can finally eat a tastier meal of rice, a much better soup and some vegetables. Meat is too good for servants.

Even if its cooked by that little brat, she grew to miss the roast father sends her.

Grrr...due to her short height, even with her looks, handmaiden is as far as she can go! She can't even become a Cainu! Heck, the Emperor mistook her for a CHILD when he passed by!
