After their encounter with a hooded, Chinese Man, Ezio, Jun and Fluttershy were running away with a horse-pulled cart, something that Fluttershy was not even expecting. She believed that animals should be treated equally, and the humans shattered that code in an instant. She was extremely angry at them, but because she was in another world, and horses/ponies here do not talk the manner she was, she was silent, not to shout at the two assassins.
"Jun, who was that man?" Ezio asked the Chinese Assassin.
"The Emperors men. They must have known that me and my mentor was here." Jun replied. This caught Fluttershy's attention. The Emperor send his men here? Why here, and why now?
"Why?" Ezio asked, making Fluttershy mentally relieved that she will not ask that question.
"Back then, I was a concubine to the Emperor Zhengde, but was rescued by my mentor when I was young. I trained for my years of freedom to my rescuers, the Order itself. After that, me and my mentor tried to free the other concubine that I grew up with, but discovered that Emperor Jiajing ordered Ling Chi to them." Jun replied with a hint of anger and sadness to it.
"Ling Chi?" Ezio asked. Fluttershy too was very curious of what Ling Chi stands for. However, she will not like the reply of Shao Jun.
"Yes, slow death, or death by a thousand cuts." She paused, making Fluttershy cringe in fear with the 'slow death'. "The Emperor is a cruel man." Shao Jun continued and stops there. Ezio look at Jun before 'hiya' the horses to go faster towards the villa. When they arrive at the villa, Ezio burst through the door, with Sofia having a worried expression.
"What happened?" She asked.
"A bit of....misunderstanding." Ezio replied, looking back at Jun.
"I'll go get the children." Sofia said. Later, before night comes, Ezio instructed his wife, Flavia and Marcello to go to Machiavelli's house, but leaving Fluttershy behind

That memory, one piece of memory, played in Fluttershy's mind in a matter of milliseconds, but she didn't even payed and attention to it. But it was sad to remember Ling Chi, slow death.
'Too much to pay for being an Assassin isn't it?' She mentally asked herself as she withdraws from the shadows, going back to her house.
'Tomorrow, I will return with my friends to China, and I will meet once more Shao Jun.'
