âProtect the little princess?â Mu Xue sneered sarcastically over her older sisterâs belief, âThe baby inside the queenâs stomach hasnât even come out yet, how are they so certain itâs a princess?â
Mu Ying expression sank into a darker tone over that comment: âIf you do this then it will bring great disaster to our Leopard Clan. Itâs not easy for us to have this peace today and you want to ruin it all for your own sake?!â
âIâm only speaking the truth Sister. Whatâs more, I heard the queen is only a human. Us demons hate humanity to the core, what makes you think the king can really last forever with her? Not to mention the young prince is nothing but a filthy half-breed, what makes you think he can lead our kind?â Mu Xueâs lip then formed a scornful sneer like sheâs been insulted: âOnly the children we give birth to is worthy of becoming the true heir, anything less is unworthy!â
Nothing but a stinking human woman, how dare she compete with us for the kingâs favor? If the queen is a demoness then itâs one thing, at least then I will still be able to suck it up. But sheâs a human, a human!
Andâ¦â¦
The fact that the king is having the first elder choose maids for the princess goes to show how little he favors the current queen.
Thatâs right, in this presumptuous bitchâs mind, Di Cangâs act of finding capable maids for his own unborn daughter was in fact an indirect mean of choosing more concubines for himself, and she herself was the perfect candidate for that position!
âI will tell Father about everything you said today, and youâ¦.â Stopping there because she didnât want to finish the last bit, Mu Ying glares at her own younger sister to emphasize her point. However, their argument didnât get any further because an angry holler had cut them off just then.
âWhat tell? What is there to tell? Aside from tattling to your father, what else can you do?â Almost running over was a middle-aged woman of decent beauty, but that resentful and angry growl ruined it all.
âIâm warning you Mu Ying, youâre not allowed to tell your father about this. Furthermore, you must do everything in your power to help your sister get the position of Queen!â
Staring wide eye at this order: âMother, what do you mean by that?â
âIsnât it obvious? With your strength, killing a simple human is easy. Once you are done with that then you can take the blame for yourself, this way you wonât drag your little sister down with you.â Yu Yao coldly snorted like itâs the obvious thing to say to her own eldest daughter.
Due to the circumstances, Mu Ying had been kept in the mountains since childhood and isolated from the rest of her clan, therefore she didnât have much contact with her own mother over the years. Naturally Yu Yao wouldnât have much feelings for this girl as a result and favored the younger one instead.
As expected, Mu Yingâs body went stiff after what she heard. My own mother wants me to die for her other daughter? She wants me to die for Mu Xue? Is she even my mother anymore?
âMotherâ¦â Hooking her arms around like itâs preplanned, Mu Xue starts getting all whiny like a spoiled brat, âI donât care, I want to be the kingâs woman. No, I want to be the queen! I want to have his child, and I want my child to be the future heir. I know my baby is far better than that half-breed runt!â
âOh my good daughter, you donât need to worry. Your mother I will definitely get your sister to help you get your wish.â Giving a gentle caress of her daughterâs hair, this bias mother didnât even spare a glance towards the older one, âBesides, my Xuâer here is so outstanding, how can anyone not like you?â
That said, Yu Yaoâs eyes then shifted to Mu Yingâs figure who just stood there with a haunted face. This woman had no warmth in those eyes like sheâs facing some servant.
âDid you hear me or not? Donât think just because your father favors you that you can use him against me. If you dare say a single word about today then I will die in front of you immediately. I will tell everyone itâs you who forced your own mother to die after clinging onto the king!â
