• Chapter 1: In the year 1823

    Beijing, China 1823....

    "How do we get in unnoticed?! There is so much protection-" "Boqin will take care of getting in, now we just need to stay hidden until we know what to do." the princesses eyes grew wide as she hid in the bushes listening to the two men in black talk, something was going to happen, something BIG. Even though she didn't know what it was she knew it was going to be bad and she had to stop it. As the men kept talking Madoka-Mai, the princess of China slowly walked out of the bushes but stopped dead when the taller man said he heard something moving. Just as he was walking into where she was hiding Madoka-Mai slipped away to the next set of bushes, barely missing being caught. When she thought the coast was clear she bolted away towards the palace entrance. "Hey!" one of the men shouted "Look! A spy!" Then both men were running to catch Madoka-Mai. When she noticed that the men were chasing her she lost speed and tripped, landing hard on the dirt. Trying to get up Madoka struggled to regain balance to run away but too soon it seemed the men grabbed her and took her to thier hiding place. "Well, well, a little spy. Who might you be?" The taller man asked "I-I am not a spy I am-" Madoka paused for a moment, it was true she was not a spy but should she tell them she was the princess? "My name is Jia, I'm a, servant." "what, pray tell were you doing then running from us?" "I got scared. I was not spying on you." "Da, tie her up and hide her, she hasheard our plans, we don't need some servant girl intterupting a execution."The man smiled and watched as Madoka_Mai was bound and gagged. Madoka-Mai saw she was in a cellar under ground in the garden, a place she loved to hide when she was younger. At first she began to cry because she knew the men were going to hurt her, they had something to hide and they thought she knew what it was. Later Madoka heard another man join them and they began to talk, the man's name was Boqin and he was the leader apparently, what he was leading she had no inkling of. "Boqin, we had a spy, she claims to be a servant." "Did you take care of her?" Boqin's voice was velvety but it had a evil tone to it. "Yes she down there." A few minutes later Boqin was opening the cellar. "Unbound her, now." Madoka-Mai was untied and the cloth in her mouth removed. She gasped for the much needed air and looked into Boqin's dark green eyes. "Hello, what is your name?" "Jia." Madoka answered cautiously watching Boqin pace around her. "Who sent you, who wants to spy on us and how did they know?" Boqin began to fire all of these questions at her, making her think of a realistic answer. "It would be in your best interest to tell us, servant girl." Boqin was at her ear now whispering to her, and slowly a blade was pushed to her neck the cold metal startling Madoka. "I was just walking along to the kitchen and I heard them talking, I was not a spy." "tell me what you know." Boqin was still persistently pressing the blade to her neck. " I just know something is being planned I have no clue what it is though." "She knows nothing. Let her go. A child is no threat to us." The blade was released from her neck and she ran out of the cellar into the palace to warn her father.
