Early in the morning of the next day, Xiao Zhi was trying to occupy herself with her "normal" routine in this boring Tughril world, which, currently, was absolutely nothing.
Before, she had been busy thinking of ways to survive, trying ways to change the story so she wouldn't end up tortured to death.
Now, the story had changed. She was still alive, but she had no idea how to spend the rest of her days. She felt strangely out of place, like a character left over after the final chapter had been scrapped.
Finally, a sudden knock came from her door.
A maid entered shortly after, bowing with deep respect. "Your Highness, the Khan requests your attendance in court today."
Xiao Zhi froze. "The court? Now?"
"Yes, Your Highness. Immediately," the maid replied.
Xiao Zhi was puzzled. "Why would the Khan summon her this early in the morning?"
And not to his private chamber, but to attend the court?
