Getting back to my senses, I pushed away the man holding me close to him—or at least, I tried to. I wanted to get away from him but my body felt too weak to do so. Catching my breath, I stared at the man, trying to understand what had just happened. What did he want from me? Why was I feeling like this so suddenly?
His red eyes were still staring at me as I asked, "What did you do?"
"What you had wished for," came his reply.
His answer puzzled me. He seemed to realize that I didn't get what he meant so he deliberately looked around us as if signaling me to check our surroundings.
Only then did I realize we were no longer inside the royal residence anymore. In fact, we were no longer inside the royal palace itself. With my eyes wide open, I pushed him away again and this time, he easily allowed me to get away from him.
