I got shocked.
" Are you okay?"
He looked at me and then he seems he got back to his senses.
" I am alright," he let go of my hand
" Did you have a nightmare?"
He didn't answer. He put his face in his palms and then he looked up.
" Why were you awake?"
" I wanted to drink water so I saw that you were acting strange so I went to wake you up,"
He looked at me doubtfully
" Go and do your thing,"
" Okay,"
I left the room and went to the kitchen.
He is so strange. I wonder what type of nightmare he has. He ignored the question when I asked.
As I was going to the kitchen, I met Sum Biya. She was walking towards me.
Why is she up so late? Is she like me that usually wakes up to drink some water?
She bows down to me.
" Why are you up so late, princess consort?"
" I am here to drink water,"
" Okay," she acted so noble.
" So why are you here?"
" Just the same as you,"
" Ah, it seems that we have the same habits," I laughed
" Yes, let's go together,"
We went to the kitchen together and while I am with her, I felt something was not right with her maybe it is because I am not used to having friends around with me. My father does not let me have friends, he thinks that friends will bring an obstacle to me. I am just my father's object/tools for him to use at a given point at any time. Whatever my father wants for me I always allow it but in the matter of marriage was the first time I ever stand up against him but unfortunately standing up against him didn't work at all. He is just a beast.
We drank water and from there I decided to drink milk so I could sleep.
" I heard the prince is staying in your room this night,"
" Oh, yes," I looked at her. I don't know why I am feeling guilty all of a sudden. It is not like he liked her so why am I feeling guilty.
" I am going back first,"
" Okay," she left.
" Looking at you, it seems that you will be one of the people who will be thrown out of the palace even bringing war between the two countries," Sum Biya thought while smiling
I went back to the room and Zhong Yanlin wasn't there. He was in the balcony sitting down looking at the stars.
I went to him.
" What are you doing here?"
" Nothing,"
" You are lying, there is something in your mind right?"
" Why do you want to know?"
