Tianshi Xue was already in bed. The prince's words were still echoing in her mind: Lady Nia's was not the only life that she was going to take. That was a hard pill to swallow. She didn't want to become that kind of person who could kill someone with a few words.
"Where are you going?" she asked the prince when he had stepped out of the bathroom.
"Hmmm, out," he said.
"Why?"
"Didn't I make a deal that I'll let you have the bed for two weeks if you apologize to her? Well, there's your bed."
"Where are you going?"
He shrugged. "Walk around, I guess. Think."
"Can't you just stay?"
Tianshi Xue could not believe that the words came out of her mouth. But it was true. She didn't want to be alone for the night.
"I'm not a dog that would just stay because you told it to," he answered.
"I know," she said, staring at the white ceiling. "Stay for the night and I'll take the bed for a week."
