Chapter 7 - Chapter seven: You are always causing trouble.

When they get into the city, Meilin fixes her eyes on the beautiful buildings and things surrounding them as the carriage drives through the City grounds.

She was so lost staring out the window that she didn't feel when the carriage drew to a stop. The feel of someone touching her thigh startled her so badly that she let out a scream.

" Ah!! " she jumps with a scream and turns with her heart thundering in her chest to find Master Chang glaring at her.

" What is wrong with you, girl? You are jumpier than my old colt," he snaps.

" I am sorry, "Meilin mutters in a low voice, averting her eyes.

Master Chang shakes his head at her dumbness and turns to leave. He pushes the carriage door open and turns to Meilin with a deadly look. "Don't embarrass me, girl, " he warns before going through the door, his weight making it a little difficult for him to go through.

Meilin hesitates inside, not ready to start the journey of her new life. She tries to find the courage to step out of the carriage, but couldn't seem to find it.

A few seconds later, she knew she couldn't linger anymore and decided to get it out of the carriage. She stood up to make her way out of the carriage, but the sudden loud voice of Master Chang at the carriage door scared the living daylight out of her.

" Girl, are you planning on staying there all day! "

Startled, Meilin clicks her left foot with her right and finds herself falling towards the carriage floor. Her eyes widen in horror as she screams. " Ah!!!!!!! "

Her hands fly around, trying to grasp anything solid to break her fall, but all she could reach was thin air. When she realizes the inevitable is about to happen, she closes her eyes tightly and braces herself for the hard impact with the floor, only her fall doesn't just stop with the carriage.

She crashes through its door and falls to the hard ground in an embarrassing heap.

" Aw! " Meilin groans in pain, silently moving her hands and foot to make sure that nothing was broken. She moves to get off the ground when she sees a pair of sandals before her. Slowly, with dread, she raises her eyes to encounter Master Chang's furious eyes. She gulps, her heart sinking to her stomach. 

Suddenly she feels the urge to wee. 

Master Chang looks like a cloudy sky about to pour as he stares down at his clumsy doll. All around him, dignitaries are arriving in their fancy and expensive carriages, with loads of servants trailing behind him, and his one doll is making him look like a fool before them. 

The urge to wipe the girl was very tempting, but he restrained himself as they were in the palace. 

He gives her a very dirty look before storming off. 

Meilin quickly gets to her feet, her knees trembling, and runs after her Master. 

At the Palace hall where the wedding is taking place, Master Chang walks in easily because of how he was dressed, but as Meilin goes to follow, two swords materialize and stop her from moving forward. 

" Where do you think you are going to? " A deep masculine voice barks with disdain and superiority.

Meilin jumps back in fear, her terrified eyes raised to masked guards in horror. She has never been this close to a guard and fears being pierced to the chest by one of their long spears. 

" She is with me, " Master Chang says to the guards, but they don't lower their spears immediately, increasing the tension inside Meilin. 

A few seconds later, their hands go down, causing Meilin to exhale in relief and hurriedly pass them. 

" You are always causing trouble, " Master Chang growls at her when she draws up beside him.

" I am sorry," Meilin murmurs in a meek tone, head bowed.

She raises her head when they walk into the hall, her eyes falling out of their socket at the grandeur of the place and the beautiful decorations that have been put up.

A female servant directs them to a table, and they settle down with the other guests. 

Meilin kneels beside Master Chang, with her head bowed. 

The King arrives and everyone
