Yes, Marinette will be speaking Chinese. But I will just put basic Chinese(It's easier). Oh, in this story the episode of Kung Food doesn't exist.

Here goes the next chapter! Enjoy!

I step out of the private jet plane my grandma set out for me to use. Walking out of the airplane with my bodyguards holding my baggage in their hands. The cold wind of the night hit me. The smell of familiar air was gladly welcomed by me.

"Gongzhu, the car is waiting outside the airport. We must hurry before a gang of reporters arrive to get a shot of your face. We certainly don't want that to happen," The bodyguard with the blue necktie told me.

I hate paparazzi. I hate cameras.

"Okay, let's go."

We hurriedly step inside the limo that was waiting outside for us. I expected a car, literally, but it was a limo all along. Oh yeah, royalty and stuff. I kind of forget about that.

After getting inside, the driver drove immediately like a ninja. The bodyguard with the blue necktie, black gel hair and light brown eyes is Zhong. Which I learned right now. The other bodyguard with grey necktie, dark brown hair and medium brown eyes is Qiang. He is the younger brother of Zhong. They are both muscled intimidating men who has the job of protecting my life. They told me the life in China that I missed while I took a sip of my strawberry smoothie and sneaking some cookies to Tikki.

The limo stopped and both of my bodyguards stood and open the car. I stepped out and saw the beauty of the chengbao(castle). It looked like it came from a painting. A castle I was born and raised until I left for France.

A man wearing a tuxedo bowed to me. "Huang Tai Hou is waiting for your arrival, Gongzhu."

He must be Huang Tai Hou's private attendant or Butler. I think. He's a new fresh face here. I guess the old attendant of my grandmother resigned.

I smiled at the man. "Xie Xie ni," I said. He smiles back and motions for me to follow him.

"Gongzhu, please follow me."

We enter the chengbao and saw many spectacles that are added. Like the walls are repainted with gold and red colors and vases in different shapes with flowers in every kind. Structures in curves that majestically will make you feel enlightened in its art.

In some walls in the halls when you walk in, you'll see faces of the past emperors who ruled China. There are some family pictures in it, too.

In one portrait, an emperor was with his empress and some concubines. The children are piled into it, too. Too many children...I always wonder how this old descendant of mine escape headaches.

I remember in the past that inheritance of the throne goes to the first son or if not, first male in the royal family. In the modern Era (right now), inheritance can be passed on through the first daughter.

Being the first daughter of the royal family and the only daughter of the Emperor and Empress, my grandma appointed me as the heir to the throne. Since my father, the Emperor, didn't take concubines to have a son as an heir. And Mother's uterus can't bring any child anymore because it was too weak. I'm glad that I was born even if her uterus almost gave up on me.

When I learned one day about an emperor taking other concubines, he laughed at me and said," Its the modern world, nü'er." It irritated me so much.

Aa I get older realized the real reason, he love maman so much. He really love her so much. I know it's cheesy but that's the way my parents love each other. Even when my mother suggested to take one concubine to have a son. He always refused her.

I always scratch up my nose whenever I saw those portraits. It's not because it's smelly or it's kind of dusty. But they were not smiling. I scratch up nose so that I won't laugh at their serious faces. They look like it's the end of the world. No offense but it's what I think about their portraits since I'm a kid. But I have respect to them. Since they were my ancestors.

Is smiling that illegal before? They look funny in their serious faces.

"Your castle looks pretty, Marinette," Tikki whispered in my ear. "Thanks," I whispered back while looking at the whole castle.

"There are still memories in here that I didn't forget since I'm a child. I miss running around here and stealing snacks at the kitchen," I whispered to Tikki.

It was fun stealing apples, tarts, pies and cookies from the kitchen. I remember the cooks and maids almost screamed their heads off because of the missing food.

She smiled and hides quickly in my hair. I saw that we were in front of the doors of throne room. My stomach fell down to the core in nervousness. I'll meet my grandma now. It's been many years...

"Gongzhu, please enter the throne room. Huang Tai Hou is waiting for you since your arrival."

I thanked the man and he left. The guards who are guarding the doors opened the doors for me. They bowed and I nod before entering the throne room with grace.

Thank the heavens! I didn't trip this time around.

An old woman of her 70s sat on the throne elegantly. Her medium brown eyes hold wisdom and greatness in them. She smiled at my arrival and bowed down. My heart beat increased in seeing my grandmother.

"Huang Tai Hou, wo huíláile wo de wèizhì," I said clearly. She smiled widely and proudly. "Huanying huílái wo de sunnu," she said.

The guards of the royal family inside the throne room thump their spears down three times creating a sound. Increasing the happiness I have right now even though what I have left in France.

I'm back home.
