-Two months later-
Jie's leg was finally healed and he could walk around as he used to without any difficulty. Even though they had come back home from the hospital, he still used to feel like he had chain binding him on the bed.
Only he knew, how much he cherished this freedom of his.
Today, his father was taking him somewhere. Apparently, it was a surprise. Jie could tell they were going to the Imperial City but he didn't know the details at all.
All Zhu Chen told him was, "I'm going to introduce you to yourself, tonight."
And whatever that meant, Jie didn't bother thinking about it. At least, tried not to.
The sun was setting on the horizon when the car drove inside huge metal gates and passed through a pathway lining up with trees. Turning on a circular driveway, the car stopped before a huge mansion. Or calling it a castle might be right.
Rows of servants in uniform were lined up on the stairway to greet them.
"Welcome home, Master Chen."
