After finishing breakfast Xiao Fang and Lady Qi left the dining hall and made their way over to the Manor Library.
It was massive with 3 floors and held over 10,000 books, scrolls and treatises.
Grand marble column's inscribed with images of swirling blazes held up the egg-shaped dome that made up the roof.
The walls were lined with massive dark browns shelves that were utterly dust-free, as they were cleaned regularly.
Patriarch Xingwei was an avid collector of books and made sure the library was well cared for.
Over in a small corner was the collection of law and business books Xiao Fang had gathered over the last few years.
Next to it was a shelf full of scrolls the two had found useful for study over the years.
Although Lady Qi was practically royalty, she still studied very hard, as looking up to her father, a renowned Scholar.
Xiao Fang had been dragged into studying as well but has soon found herself enjoying learning about the Art of War and textbooks documenting age-old empires and battles.
The two arrived at a large table covered with various half-read texts. Xiao Fang pulled out Lady Qi's chair as well proper of a servant before sitting down herself.
"So, what was it?" Xiao Fang questioned.
"Whatever do you mean?" Lady Qi responded.
"Cut the shit you know what I meant. What was that event I just agreed to go to?"
Lady Qi winced when she heard Xiao Fang's rough language.
"Handmaiden Fang, remember to speak properly, like a lady," Lady Qi admonished.
Xiao Fang stared blankly at her, not saying a single word. Eventually, Ladi Qi coughed and continued.
"Anyways, I have been invited to the birthday of Eastern Duke's son Chang Chen. I was allowed to bring a servant with me and selected you."
Xiao Fang groaned. "Chang Chen, isn't he that insane guy who killed a servant using a table leg because her dress wasn't properly ironed?"
As the personal handmaiden of Lady Qi Xiao Fang was often forced to undergo tortur-Attend important ceremonies and political events critical to the continued future of Flamecloud Island.
She had no idea how to interact with stuffy noble brats and her inhuman features meant she was either gawked at like a circus oddity or avoided like a freak.
One of the only noble's whose name she remembered, if only due to his . . . oddities, was Chang Chen.
He was the son of the Eastern Duke and would fly off the handle at the most random of things before suddenly calming down as if nothing had happened.
This bi-polar behaviour had earned him the nickname Crazy Chen
"There is no goddamn way I'm going to a party hosted by Chang Chen, what if I braid my hair the wrong way and he flips out and murders me with a fork?"
Lady Qi sighed. "The esteemed Young Duke will not murder you with a fork Handmaiden Fang, also it's too late. You already agreed. What would I tell mother? Don't worry. You'll be fine. Just enjoy yourself, mingle, make friends."
Mingling with stuffy young nobles seemed like the farthest thing from fun Xiao Fang could imagine, but she sighed and nodded.
Lady Qi seemed pretty set on her going.
Although she was not afraid to voice her opinions, she knew not to push things too far.
She got plenty of leeways thanks to being close friends with Lady Qi but at the end of the day she was still a slave and if she disobeyed her masters she could receive anything from 30 canings to execution.
It was set. She was going to the fucking party.
