The Palace Intrigue

In the palace, Lisa sat in her chair, pondering the words of the little girl. Although she hadn’t managed to extract the identity of the person who assigned her, she had gleaned some valuable information. The little girl had spent her entire time in a training camp, where her only companions were the officers and her fellow trainees. Consequently, she never discovered who was behind her training. She had been told that the world outside was filled with monstrous creatures that ate people, and it was their mission to fight these creatures. According to the little girl, her companion, who had left a long time ago, might have already been consumed by these monsters. Today, during her training, the little girl was abruptly called away. An officer handed her a piece of paper with Jiu Hui’s information, stating that this was her first assignment. Afterward, she was knocked unconscious and brought out of the training camp. She woke up in an inn within the royal city and eventually found Jiu Hui, only to be captured. The secrecy measures were impeccable, with hardly any room for error. The only clue was the time discrepancy: the little girl left in the morning and woke up at noon, indicating that the training camp must be in close proximity to the royal city, or perhaps even within it. Lisa had tasked Xiao Lü with investigating the little girl’s origin, but the trail led only to an inn and then vanished. It seems her opponent was confident that sending such a naive creature would ensure that Lisa gained no useful information. Exhausted, Lisa leaned back in her chair, rubbing her throbbing head. Suddenly, a cool, delicate hand rested on her head, gently massaging her. A soft hum of pleasure escaped Lisa’s lips, her eyes fluttering closed. Jiu Hui supported Lisa’s head, letting her rest against her as she continued to caress Lisa’s scalp. Gradually, Jiu Hui’s hands moved to Lisa’s shoulders, kneading them gently. Seeing Lisa completely relaxed against her, Jiu Hui felt a surge of satisfaction, thinking of the times Lisa had left her breathless. Gazing at Lisa’s face, her eyes closed and her lips slightly parted, Jiu Hui’s mind wandered, and a mischievous smile played on her lips. ‘Let’s see how you like this,’ she thought, her hands sliding down from Lisa’s shoulders, tracing over her collarbone, and finally cupping her breasts. Jiu Hui’s smile deepened as she squeezed and massaged, enjoying the sensation. ‘How does that feel? This is what you do to me,’ she thought, her eyes gleaming with a mix of triumph and amusement. Lisa, resting against Jiu Hui, began to breathe heavier, emitting soft moans. Jiu Hui relished the sounds, feeling increasingly satisfied. Suddenly, Lisa opened her eyes, gazing up at Jiu Hui with a sultry look. ‘Jiu Hui,’ she purred, ‘you started this, so don’t blame me.’ Jiu Hui froze, her mind racing. This wasn’t how it was supposed to go; Lisa should have been left weak and pliable. Lisa gently removed Jiu Hui’s hands and stood, her eyes gleaming with a hidden meaning. ‘This time, you came to me,’ she said, cupping Jiu Hui’s face with a smile. ‘Jiu Hui, couldn’t resist, could you?’ Jiu Hui, her face flushing, couldn’t believe what was happening. How could Lisa still have the strength to stand? Was it her technique, or something else? Before she could react, Lisa’s lips captured hers in a deep kiss, and Jiu Hui felt her body melt. In that moment, realization dawned on her: it wasn’t about technique; it was her own body’s sensitivity. She was powerless to resist as Lisa’s hands explored her body, ultimately resting on her chest. ‘This is trouble,’ Jiu Hui thought, her body throbbing with each passing second. A soft rustle of fabric, and Jiu Hui’s maid outfit began to slip away, leaving her vulnerable. Lisa’s eyes gleamed with a dark intensity as she gazed at Jiu Hui, her red jewelled eyes now clouded with desire. ‘Naughty girls need to be punished,’ Lisa whispered, her fingers tracing over Jiu Hui’s body, lingering on a mark she had left before. ‘Should I add a few more?’ she teased, reaching behind her to untie her own clothing, revealing her perfect form. Jiu Hui watched, her heart pounding with a mix of fear and anticipation. *****
