I am a Second Female Lead

Fortunately, she was prepared when it comes to money. She asked someone to buy her clothes needle to stitch and prepares a meal and a bath. They did what she asked and when her clothes arrived. She stitches her clothes and made herself a comfortable cloth. Something she can move freely.

She cleans her injured arm and makes sure she wrap it well.

She rested and waits until early in the morning at 3 am and sneak out of the inn and sneak in at the barracks of the general. Sheri looked around the room of her father. It was empty. She knows every corner of the building because she's the one who designed it.

Sheri frown. He's not there. There's one place where she knows where her father is.

She went toward the side room of the barracks and look around and saw her father chain in a wooden prison. He doesn't look good.

Sheri looked around and slowly walked to a close rigid bar.

"Father, father" Sheri whisper.

Before her father waked up Sheri suddenly felt something press in her neck she lost her conscious immediately.

The man hauled her. Toward his private room.

After an hour Sheri wakes up. Her back neck is in pain. She holds her back neck trying to massage a little.

Sheri groans in pain.

"How are you?" a voice came he handed a medicine.

Sheri furrowed her brow and instantly leaps at him and assaults him.

She never withholds in attacking. She tries punching his face, but his arms are properly protecting his head. She gets up from him and eagerly wanting to stump his stomach.

She was raging fiercely in anger. The only thing he can do is dodge the fiercely attacked of Sheri. While attacking him.

Lou Xi found an opportunity and cages her hand.

"Let go of me you a******* Sheri angrily said.

"I will release you if you listen to me." Lou Xi said.

Sheri calms her self.

"Alright," She said.

"Promise me. You listen." Lou Xi said.

"Fine, I promise," Sheri calmly said.

Lou Xi slowly and gently released her.

"I'm sorry bu..." Lou Xi didn't finish his word when Sheri punches his stomach and instantly strikes his balls with her knee.

Lou Xi was twisting in unspeakable pain.

"Now speak," Sheri said while folding her hand and leaning on the wall post.

Lou Xi tried sitting up properly. Her punch is really powerful.

"I have to do this. I already told you in my last mail." Lou Xi said while trying to breathe in and breath out.

Sheri furrowed her brow.

"All I read over there is you want me to come here that was the only encrypted words you said," Sheri said.

"Did you open the package I send you? Lou Xi said.

Sheri remembers he sends a package. Together with his letter. Sheri is not amused because he keeps on sending either a flower or beautiful girly stuff. Sheri usually piles them on one side of her room and never opens them.

Sheri slaps her forehead.

"Lou Xi, why didn't you even tell me in the letter?" Sheri asked.

"I mention that Li Na already knows over your spy. She was more formidable than what we think. She has 4 countries at her back. And one more thing she knows what we are talking about." Lou Xi said. Sheri pondered. Indeed, he did mention someone who knows she put a spy, but she thought and what she grasped. He's talking about himself.

"I never read she has a backer. How did it happen? And why would you even hook up with her?" Sheri asked.

Lou Xi advanced cautiously toward her and immediately grasp her waist and claim her lips. After a while of enjoying her lips.

"I would never replace you with her," he said gently.

Sheri stiffened and shock of what is happening.

Sheri instantly covers her mouth.

"Why would you kiss me?" Sheri was shocked by his direct actions.

"I had fallen in love with you since we were young. I intentionally keep on dismissing my feelings since you are a boy but the moment I've discovered the truth. I am so happy. Be my empress and be my lifelong lover. If we are able to miraculously survive this ordeal. I desire to properly marry me."Lou Xi said soothingly.

Sheri was stiffened and stunned. "Huh! When did it start? And how did it happen?"Sheri question

She never had any indication, every time they were together she can't feel nor notice any weir things.

"Is she that dense?" Sheri thought and ponder, she forgot Lou Xi is still waiting for her to answer.

Lou Xi chuckled with her actions in which it wakes her up.

"I hmmm... I" Sheri didn't know what to do or say.

Lou Xi embraces her.

"It's ok you don't have to answer me now." He was scared that she will say no.

Sheri gently pushes him. She typically has so many questions, but the biggest question in her mind is about the female lead.

"How did you even hook up with Li Na? I never saw both of you together and why didn't you tell me."Sheri asked.

"Remember the time you said about the prime minister's daughter. That you suspect her. You were so focused on her that I become so intrigued. I was also wondering where she got all those ideas about war, medicine, clothes and many more. I investigated her background and found out that she was not like that before. It's either she's an impostor or someone is behind her communicating ideas.

So I befriend her. I never informed you because she knows you set up a spy on her. We never show it to anyone due to she's the consort of third princes. I promise her that if I will become emperor, I will make her an empress. I made her believe. After, convincing her that I am interested in her. She told me about all her plans and her connections. I was surprised by her personal connections. Remember the battle that I lost 2 years ago. The master planner of their strategy is her. She has been collaborating with the neighboring country since 7 years ago. She exchanges ideas to political power and rank in every country. Since her ambition is to be the ruler of the most influential country. She was brewing plans to use the other country to invade our land. I merely comprehended it, 3 months ago. I have already asked father for more troops they will arrive at every border. Having many enemies, I need your constructive opinions." Lou Xi said.

Sheri was silent. She never knew the female lead prepared better than what the book has stated. Sheri thought that this mission is indeed hard because it typically involves many innocent people. "Do you have any plans? Where is Li Na?" Sheri asked Lou Xi

"Yes I have, I was supposed to annihilate her the moment you left. But she was able to escape. The prince of the neighboring country came and rescues her. If I will calculate everything that she said. I think she plans to invade us this month. We have only 3 borders. We are lucky the capital is in the south at the seaside." Lou Xi said

Sheri was pondering. The azure military is one of the best and even if the neighboring country will simultaneous attacked the Azure land it's like 1 on 1.

This time it's different. the female lead is involved.

"Nuan" A deep voice wakes her up from her thought

She looked back and saw her dear father.
