Chapter 466: The unexpected blackmail

"There was no error on my end host, the invitation was genuine otherwise you would not have made it past the first gate. I think something else is going on here after all you said it yourself, there is no prior relationship between you and this princess. You have no idea why she invited you over, it could be something not related to the ball entirely."

She pondered on his words silently and looked in the direction where the cars were heading to park.

"I am leaving, I do not have a humiliation kink." She said. Her feet turned in the direction of the cars and she was about to move when the royal guard that told her to stand to the side stood in front of her and said to her in an authoritative voice. "Follow me."

"To where?" She asked. ’Why should I follow a stranger like you, what if your plan is to harm me in some way?’ She thought.

"You will find out when you get there." He answered.

She shook her head in refusal and said, "Mr. I am going to my car and then back home and if you try to stop me I will scream and make a scene. I am sure that neither you nor the royal family will like that."

The royal guard looked at the long line of dignitaries, celebrities, royalties and wealthy people that were here to attend the ball. If this woman screamed people would be curious and he did not need curiousity because his orders were to be discreet. "The princess wants to talk to you privately. " he explained. "I am kindly requesting you to come with me."

Her interest was piqued now, it seemed that T4 was right and her presence here might be unrelated to the ball. Why was she here in that case?

"Lead the way." She said to the guard with a smile. "We would not like to keep the princess now would we?"

He led the way but occasionally he looked back as if to ensure that she was closely following him and not trying to escape. She saw his suspicious looks but she chose act blind, as if she saw nothing at all. Into the lavish gardens they went, passing lush blooms of many varieties and perfectly trimmed hedges that stretched as far as her eyes could see. These gardens were massive and she wondered if they were to walk until the very end of the corridors.

"Mr. do we have much further to go?"

"We are taking the next right turn and we will be there." he answered.

Silently they continued their walk, reaching that right turn he spoke of and she finally saw a glass house that was filled with even more flowers and trees of different species.

"Go in there, I will be waiting by the door to escort you to your car." the royal guard said.

"Alright then." she replied and she nonchalantly walked to the glass house. She pushed the door open slowly, putting one foot ahead of the other as she carefully studied the inside of the structure. Most of the trees were on the short side, the flowers were colorful and beautiful that it was almost a pain for her to look away from them. There was a fountain in the corner whose water poured into a little stream which trailed all the outside. This was like a little fairy garden and all that was missing were the little fairies. "Send the drone out T4, and scan the environment for any hidden dangers."

She walked toward the orange trees from which ripe medium sized oranges were dangling. She elongated her neck slightly and smelled one of the oranges. Just as she was about to pluck one, she heard a door opening and more than one pair of feet approaching.

In her mind she heard T4 say, "Three royal bodyguards are approaching and all of them are carrying two guns and one knife each. The princess is with them, she is being followed by a female attendant, one scrawny man and a young teen or almost teenage girl."

"Do I by any chance know any of them?" she asked.

"According to your history of time spent in this empire the scrawny man is your former university classmate. Name Zhu Wusi, you have one picture with him in your old phone."

"I remember him now." she said wistfully. "This certainly cannot be good." She and Zhu Wusi shared one secret, a bad one.

The royal guards reached her first and barked orders at her, "Look down respectfully until the princess says you can glance at her face."

"That’s not necessary, leave us." the princess said and this saved Chi Lian from the battle between pride and etiquette. Do not look at her face!!! Was she a god of some kind? How ridiculous! Chi Lian thought.

"If she is carrying any phone find a way to hack into it T4, or her computer, her assistant’s computer. Anything because I have a feeling that I am not going to like where this is going. Another of the old Chi Lian’s mistakes is back to bite me in the ass."

"What did she do?" T4 asked her.

"Do you know why you are here?" the princess asked her and Chi Lian boldly looked at the princess for the first time. She was beautiful but not too beautiful, average looking. She was dressed in a beautiful golden gown with a golden crown on her head. The crown had little dangling strings of tiny jewels which added to it’s allure, hence adding to the attractiveness of the princess. They were similar in height, which enabled them to look each other in the eye.

"I have no idea, I thought that I was being invited to one of the must attend balls in the world because I am a business woman of good reputation, until a few minutes ago when I was brought here by one of your men. What do you need from me princess?"

"Aren’t you going to say hello to an old friend." the princess said and the attendant behind her pushed the scrawny guy forward.

"I would not term us as friends." she answered, barely glancing at the man. "But I am assuming that he has told you some things about me that you want to use to your advantage."

The princess smiled, exposing a little bit of her white teeth and just as quickly she stopped laughing. "You catch on pretty quickly." the princess said.

"I have not reached where I am by being stupid, ask me for what you want in the next five minutes or I am going to walk out of here and not even the four guards here will be able to stop me." Chi Lian told her confidently. "They will try but I will take their lives and then I will return later and take yours."
