Tianshi Xue was woken up the insistent shaking on her shoulder. "Get up," Prince Qui's voice said. "Busy day ahead."
"I don't want to get up," she cried and turned away from him, hugging a pillow to her chest.
"You're going to see the princess' brother off. They'll be ready to go in an hour."
Tianshi Xue kicked multiple times at the thick blanket that was keeping her safe from rousing. There was a damning feeling inside of her because she knew that there was nothing else that she could do but follow.
By the time that she was dressed in a white loose garment and bangles on her arms, Prince Qui was already tying his dry hair in the bedroom.
He took one look at her and said, "At least you look alive."
When they started walking, it was only then that she was able to wake her whole body up. She felt a little sad when she saw countless servants with the luggages making their way out of the palace.
