I had a high fever the next day and I didn't remember what happened the day before. My sisters told me that Lord Lee brought me home. I remembered meeting Lee but I had no memory of the events that followed. I was given a half-day off on my very second day at work. I was standing at my garden door when I heard my sisters squeal. I ran inside to figure out what the commotion was about. I was amazed to see that the king was standing at the door. Behind him were all the servants and guards who were looking much more bewildered. The king's presence made everyone so nervous that none of them moved a muscle to welcome him. I stepped ahead and bowed to him. "My lord, what brings you here?", I asked politely. "I told you not to be too formal. I just came to monitor the quarters and heard about your health so I visited.", he answered. I welcomed him inside and as his steps fell into the house my sisters came out of their trance and bowed. They ran inside to make a place for him to sit and to prepare some delicacies for him. The king was engaged in talking with my mother who was feeling very shy and nervous. She even stammered a few times. All the people were still outside our quarters trying to figure out why the king was here. I knew the king's visit will initiate a lot of rumours which will disregard me as a human and as a girl. I was busy thinking about the consequences of this visit I heard the crowd's murmurs to rise. I looked at the door to see a new person arrived at the already chaotic scene to make more of chaos. "what is he doing here?", Min Ho asked. Anger was evident in his eyes and he was for sure very annoyed by his brother's visit. "Don't think too much, lord just came to check up on my health.", I said. He heard me but he went inside still in anger. Once reaching the place where the king was sitting, he bowed and said, "brother again on the quest to take over what is mine.". The king had an angry yet satisfied face. "I had no idea the territory has been marked.", the King said. "She is not a territory", Lee said. "Yes, I know but she is also a human and they can be stolen too just like the territories.", the king said. Lee was breathing heavily now and his face got red. He was looking really scary. "Can you even hold her hand without her fainting.", the king said. I couldn't get what he was saying. I looked at Lee with a confused face and he was looking down at the floor trying to contain his anger. I went to Lee and tried to hold his hand but he pulled his hand away. He ran towards the king and punched him straight in the face. Everyone gasped with horror and the guards came forward and held Lee and pulled him away from the king. The king stood up, his face was red with anger and he pulled out his sword. He went towards Lee and placed the sword on his neck. But before he could put even a tiny bit of pressure I ran and bit him on his hand. I don't know what came over me and I truly regret not trying to save him, but the stupid tactic I used. My family gasped and I was also pulled away from the king by the guards. I was waiting to get killed when I heard someone laugh. I looked onto my side to see Lee laughing. "Is this how you were supposed to save me from getting killed?", he asked in between his fits of laughter. "At least you don't have a sword to your neck now.", I said with an eye roll. "Am I a joke to you two?", a voice roared. We both looked at the king, Lee was amused and I was scared. He asked his guards to lock us up in the cells till the hearing was scheduled. My sisters were crying and my mom seemed angry, very angry. Both of us were taken to the cells and locked in in the same cell. After the new prince took over the throne, he brought the criminals from his previous cell as well to ensure they get punished and therefore the cells were full. I sat on the stone that was placed as a substitute for a chair and Lee sat on the floor. We both didn't say anything for a few seconds then both of us burst into laughter. "You seriously bit him!", he said in between his laughter. "My mom said I have Dracula canines, so I thought it might work.", I said while laughing too. "Having Dracula teeth doesn't make you a Dracula.", he said making fun of me. "What if I am one, and you just don't know", I said still laughing. "Uhm…everyone knows now that you are not even close to being a Dracula.", he stated and we both burst out into another round of laughing again. My stomach was hurting and I couldn't breathe. I took a deep breath to control my laughter and I realised there was no sound of laughter coming from the other end now. I looked up to see him smiling at me. I smiled back. "so, did you ever thought you will be locked up in a cell and still be laughing?", he asked while standing up. "I never even thought I would ever be locked up", I said. Lee was now walking in the small cell. I stood up and went to him. As I tried to hold his hand, he pulled away even before our hands could touch. "What is it?", I asked. He turned away. "why can't you hold my hand?", I asked again. "It's not time yet.", he said. I looked at him all confused. He still had his back towards me. "What right time?", I asked stepping forward. He turned and walked to the opposite direction and said, "just trust me, it is not time yet.". "When will the right time come?", I asked. "Very soon, till then enjoy my amazing personality and this melodious voice.", he said laughing a little. I also smiled but I was now more curious to unravel his mysteries. And the big thing was I was a part of it too.
