Ren Jidian had to run up the 301 steps of the 102 meter tall tower. By the time he had caught up to Prince Weiford at the top, he was huffing breathlessly and holding his knees.
"Your Highness..... What was that just now---"
Prince Weiford did not turn to him and just stared at the distance.
He was staring at something resting on the crest of the mountains. A beautiful palace.
Ren Jidian didn't have to be genius to realize what that palace was.
"Leave." The prince said when he first took a step towards him.
"No." Ren Jidian took another step again. "What was that just now? When you said---"
"I don't know what I said." Prince Weiford clenched his fist, but would jot look at him. "I sometimes say things that I don't mean, and I don't understand why at all---"
"No, it's not that you don't mean them. Can't you see, Your Highness? That part of you that speaks while you're unaware....."
Ren Jidian went to embrace him from behind.
