Maids huddled into a small group in a shadowy place in the royal garden during their quick step outs on errands.
¡§I heard the lady isn't even a noble.¡¨ One of the maids said.
¡§Robert, you know the soldier who went with the prince. He told me she was an assassin. She tried to kill the prince.¡¨ Another said.
Gasps and news came out from each maid's mouth. Each adding little bits of information they over heard from the royal family whilst serving them.
Meanwhile, Michelle walked past the lot and moved towards them. Coughing to let them know of her presence, she crossed her arms waiting to see their reaction. They turned with a shiver and faced Michelle.
¡§Good afternoon miss Michelle. What brings you here?¡¨ The first maid said, still panicking on what she might have heard.
Even though Michelle was a maid like they were. Her status and power was not like any normal maids. The princess cared for her like a sister, which was known all throughout the palace. She was also the person in charge of the maids all over the palace.
¡§I just wanted to say. As long as you don't go over the top with your guesses, I won't stop you because I know there's no point when you're just going to say it anyway. And don't forget where you are. There are ears in the walls.¡¨ She said indicating to the bushes near the entrance of the garden.
The other maids looked towards the direction she indicated and realised two on guard soldiers were hiding behind the bushes.
Michelle broke off their attention by reminding them what they were there for.
¡§Rose, weren't you supposed to be getting the doctors for concubine Wong? And Daisy weren't you supposed to be getting that soup to your master?¡¨
As if they had just woken up, set rushed off to their duties after a thank you to Michelle. Michelle watched them go and walked back to Leila's residence.

Leila took Bosco and Ron to visit her si fu. Surprisingly, when they got there, her si fu wasn't there. On the table in his bedroom, there were two letters-one addressed to Leila and one to ¡¥students of Damien Lau¡¦.
Leila opened the one that was addressed to her, inside it said:
Dear Leila.
I have gone on an errand for the king. I won't tell you for what so don't start asking questions, it will only bring attention to my absent, which isn't any help. I will tell you when the time is right. Don't fret. And don't lack on your daily practices even if I'm not watching you. I'll be back before you know it.
Au-Yeung si fu
Ron teared the envelope and read the letter with Bosco by his side.
Students of my beloved si dai. I know the reason why you are here. And I will make you disappointed. I do not have any thoughts on returning to Wah San Pai to become the master. Fate has been decided since the day I left. I believe though, that my si dai would be happy to hear this news, but I also believe he has already selected his successor to the place. Maybe we would be able to meet sometime, that is of course when Damien decides to forget about the idea of me returning. Au-Yeung si sok.
Leila looked at them as they looked up from the piece of paper.
¡§Sorry. I didn't know he was gone.¡¨ Leila apologised.
¡§It wasn't your fault. He must've heard news that we were coming and guessed what our aim was.¡¨ Bosco said, pocketing the letter.
They walked out of the room, gloomily and returned to meet up with Raymond.

Ron and Bosco stood by the garden pond and discussed their situation.
¡§Now that we can't bring si sok back, either you or me will have to become the next master of Wah San Pai. And all I know is that I don't want to be the master.¡¨ Ron said.
Having the same thing on his mind, Bosco said ¡§Me neither, but one of us will have to.¡¨
¡§Maybe...Maybe if we talk si fu around it. Maybe he'll think of someone else to succeed him.¡¨ Ron suggested.
¡§Just to remind you. He has thought about it. And he came up with the names Ron and Bosco.¡¨ Bosco said.
Just then, Leila called for them to start dinner. Ron, hearing her voice, forgot his worries and ran towards her. Bosco stood at his place and watched them telling him to come over. Something sacrificing came up in his mind.
