Prodigious Princess Qin Zetian 38 Chapter 37

The dagger on my neck will leave me with a scar, at this rate it should be a big scar, but if I don't fight head on my life will be in great danger. If my calculations are right the team should have reached the gates of the capital, they should be halfway through the road and nearer to the manor. If I surrender without a fight men here will never respect me, and it's likely that when they capture me I'll be tortured.

The man in front of me is so powerful, I don't know what tricks to play with him. His eyes say how wise and intelligent he is, and his build shows how strong he can be. The sword on my hand shook violently. My horse continued to flap its wings on the air, luckily the guards never targeted him. And I am relieved that this horse is incredibly smart.

"What do you want us to talk about?"

But the dagger already cut through my skin, the pain engulfed my neck as I feel the blood trickling down. He won't really show me mercy, I am an unmarried woman and he carved a scar on my neck. How does he expect me to get married? In this era only few will want someone who has a scar, and the rules of the n.o.ble households implied that no n.o.ble man can marry a girl with flaws.

"Why do you have the princess?"

"What princess? If you mean the imperial princess w.a.n.g Rous.h.i.+ she came for a vacation with the empress. I did no such thing as kidnapping"

The dagger even went deeper.

"I am talking about the Obsidian Princess"

Another princess? But how will I know, I am only a traveler.

"But other than Rous.h.i.+ who else do you mean by saying The Obsidian princess? As far as I know my sisters are humbly married into the palace, and I am only a n.o.ble woman. No one else has a t.i.tle of princess. Not that I have known of, I bet there's no maidservant in my household who can pretend to be a commoner and abandon her t.i.tle"

"Fine. You're of no use now--"

But before he continued, I immediately retrieved a dagger from my sleeves and plunged it in his body. His eyes turned murderous, then I took the chance to escape from his embrace. I whistled for my horse to fly towards the darkest part of the forest. The man in front of me tried to grab me, I sweep my sword forward and accidentally cut his hair.

It should have shocked me, but I only cut his hair. Yet he fell on the ground, his face held an ugly expression, as if he was in deep pain. I immediately fought through the guards who stood in my way. I climb a tree and jump towards another. And that continued till I reached the air where my horse is waiting.

I have been wounded not just on the neck part, but also at the lower back of my body. This is bad.
