Momo was busy eating her chocolate and thinking about the letter

"The river divides in the rumbling rage of the gods,what could it be, dad please help me out here"

Momo left her room and went to her father's study at the other side of the building. Momo sat down on her father's chair and looked up to the building, she closed her eyes

"Dad am really out of options I have been thinking nonstop about what it could be.Dad please even if it's just a hint, I need to find it fast the marriage edict will be brought

tomorrow,time is not really on my side"

Momo sighed

"I can already see signs of another conspiracy, and this time I can assure many people are going to lose their lives to the hands of that tyrant king"

Momo opened her eyes and looked at the creaking window, she stood up abruptly and said "secret door".

She started looking around the room for any secret passageway touching the surface of each and every corner of the room but didn't find anything.

"Ahhhhh... Why can't I find anything, this is annoying".

Momo stood up and went to the main building she saw her sister in the living room she moved closer to her to check what she was doing she touched her sister shoulder and Yunyi jerked and turned to look back.

"Are you trying to kill me sister Momo" Yunyi said her hands on her chest, Momo scoffed " That will be easy to do but no, what are you doing"

" I was just thinking about dad and the future of our family"

Momo looked at Yunyi seriously

" Yunyi come here" Momo opened her hands wide for a hug Yunyi stands up and goes into her sister embrace Momo pets Yunyi

"Everything is going to be okay I will always be here for you"

"I will also be here for you too"

"Okay go get some sleep it's late and don't come to my room this night" Yunyi chuckled

" I don't follow orders Princess Momo"

"We will see about that"

Yunyi stood up and went to her room, Momo sighed heavily and went to her room.

" What are you talking about" Momo said and sat down maids dishing out food for her.

"Yunyi was talking about preparing a little feast for Ruoyan's birthday" their mother said

"Then that's perfect then it remain the gifts, Momo what gift would you be given her"

"Mom why are you acting like this " Momo asked looking at her mother

"What do you mean am acting like this,exactly like what."

"You know what am talking about you never interfere with our matters and you never even cared about our birthdays, the last time you even participated was 3 years ago and just because you opened up recently doesn't mean you can suddenly become the hero"

"Sister Momo please understand mom she's just trying to make it up to us" Yunyi said
