Siren Song Chapter 63

Published at 31st of December 2018 04:10:07 AM Chapter 63: 63

Chang sat there for a while after Jian left and touched the spot on her forehead . Eventually she got up to dress herself, skipping the constricting undershirt, and went to eat .

The first two days that Jian was gone Chang tried to fill her days with activity to help pass the time . Everything seemed to have become rather tasteless and bland without Jian there . Her mother always seemed to tire early when they would explore the massive gardens that surrounded the palace . As her mother and Hao Jin Ying were unable to accompany her most of the time Chang did a lot of exploring by herself; exploring the massive sunlight palace halls filled with beautiful tile mosaics .

She practiced her horsemanship too in the palace paddock area, using the beautiful mare that Jian had picked out for her before . After two days of practicing she felt comfortable enough to ride into the town on her own . Chang thought it had been a very interesting place and hoped travelling there might lift up her mood a bit . Remembering Jian's words she grabbed one Amira's hijabs to match some new , much better fitting clothes she had received from a maid yesterday before going out .

Chang told Hao Jin Ying that she was heading out alone as her morher was ever-unavailable . Chang knew she could be pretty dense sometimes but she knew her mom was keeping something from her . Everyone was and it was beyond frustrating and hurt her a little that no one trusted her with the truth . She wanted her mom to be the one to tell her the truth, and at her own volition, so despite her sadness she waited for honesty .

Chang tied the horse leadline to a tree surrounded by a small grassy patch . The palace guard . whom Hakim had ordered to follow her and protect her dismounted as she tied the line, giving the horse room to graze . Chang was startled hearing the mans boots hit the ground, he had been so silent, and she so preoccupied in her thoughts, she forgot that she had company .

"Ah if you would please just stay here, I'd like to be alone for awhile . " Chang turned to the man and hesitantly asked for her privacy, it felt weird having someone follow her around silently .

"Lady Dumont I have my orders, while this area is safe, Effendi Al-Hassan and Effendi Liang would be sorely displeased should anything happen . " The man resolutely replied, refusing her request .

"But you just said it yourself this area is safe, I will be sorely displeased if I dont have my alone time . "

"You will not even notice me Lady Hassan, I have my orders to see that no harm comes to you . "

Chang's patience had reached its limit and she snapped at the man who she knew was only doing as he was ordered .

"If you dont let me be, I promise to hurt myself, in some way or another . " Chang saw the man's uneasy look and pressed further . "I promise though if you let me be, I will be extra careful and come back within the hour to this spot . "

"Lady Dumont-"

Chang saw the man's wavering mind and snapped a small branch off of the tree and pressed the jagged end against her wrist lightly applying pressure; her eyes narrowed in warning to the man .

"I mean it . "

Chang knew she was being difficult, but she really didnt want someone she didnt know hanging around her like poop on a goldfish .

The man held his hands up helplessly unable to fight against her in her position . Seeing that he had surrendered Chang threw her stick on the ground, her threat having accomplished what was needed .

"Within the hour, I promise . "
