Someone was hugging Emy when she woke up. As she opened her eyes, she saw Reed's face. He sleeps comfortably. After glancing at his face, Emy took a deep breath. Despite her feelings that what's happening to them and Reed is unfair, she still allows him to be with her and treats her like an actual girlfriend or wife, he claims.
If she used to make comments about one-sided feelings, it's understandable that karma is at play as she is experiencing negative emotions. Reed cares for her, but he doesn't believe in love; instead, he sees it as a responsibility as his chosen queen.
'Do I hope for nothing?' Emy thought.
She got out of bed while Reed was still asleep. Reed was still sleeping when she left the house.
Reed awoke in bed feeling alone. Maria, Emy's family's helper, entered Emy's room. She was surprised to see Reed inside the room.
"You're here, my king," Maria said.
