Because of her overthinkings she suddenly felt a split of her vision. She saw a guy calling her real name. The environment was different, they were in a boats terminal. She also heard the girl who called her in which she answered with a sweet voice. It's like they both experience the same situation. Aubrey lost her consciousness both reality and dream for a while. When she wake up she was surprise she hasn't found herself in her boarding House but the her personal room on the dream. She also found the king sitting straight with a close eyes. She sits down and scanned her husband's facial features. She run her fingers towards the kings nose bridge and his forehead.
"Chen-chen, why did you always discouraged me."
Then the king open his eyes that startled Aubrey trying to take back her hand hurriedly. But it was immediately grab by the king and pinned her on the bed.
"How did I discouraged you my queen." He said while they both stared at each other's eyes.
Aubrey was almost fallen but she remembered the letter. Besides she doesn't like a guy like the king. So she refused to answer and not look at him back straight to his eyes and forced to get out from the position.
"Tell me who is Zecheng?" The king asked "Why do you wish to watched the moon with him?" He added.
Aubrey smiled cause Zecheng was only a fictional character. But her smile fades after realizing Zecheng was the guy she was waiting for to watch the shinning of the moon. She head-butted the king that made her let go of his grasp. That's right everything makes sense to her now. The book stole her dream memories. The story of Delbey and Zecheng she read was actually her adventure with him. Everything makes sense to her now, all she has to do is find out where Zecheng is. But first she must escape from the king's lair.
Aubrey has no one now. She can only trust and help herself. Delbey's baby seems slowly accepted by the king. And she felt assured with it. Weeks later the baby will celebrate his birthday. It should be the child's happiest birthday. But the hopes were gone when the new queen was announced to bear a child. Aubrey's world crashed down. She knew both of their lives were in danger. Plus she also overheard the king plans to terminate the child when midnight comes. So without more ado, when everyone was occupied she took the chance to flee on the kingdom.
She wore black clothes like a ninja took the child from the crib and run away. When the maid who took care of the baby found no one inside the crib she called out for help. The people who attended the party are in a mess. One of the gaurds reported the recent queen was missing and a maid reported someone was suspiciously heading outside the kingdom. When the king heard it he was unease. And commands guards to follow the trace of a suspicious woman.
Aubrey was running away on foot. Carrying the child of her doppelganger, Delbey. She was already on the woods near the river, where she had set up a boat to be use to travel. She just reach the shore when the knights of the king arrived and encircled her. The king then arrived with an entrance.
"Why is my wife trying to escape."
Aubrey look at him fiercely with a strong grip of the child. " You can't hurt these child!"
The king laughs evily and said, "why should I hurt the heir of my throne."
Aubrey's brows met, " I may look dumb physically and mentally. But I know now why the mother of these child jumps on the river on her escape. Her letter had told me." Then she throw the found letter which was kept on the baby's blanket. One guard took the letter to the king and scanned the content. Then he look at Aubrey with a scheming smile.
"Your speaking crazy again. Guards!"he called out "get the child away from her mother. " He commands.
Aubrey took out a knife and pointed it to the approaching kings minions. But it doesn't made them fear it. She analyze the situation where the knife should be pointed at since the king doesn't care about his son nor his men doesn't fear the small weapon. Then she place the sharp edge of the knife on her neck. That threatened the guards to come closer. "If you come near me I'll kill myself. And if my father would know these (she acted as Delbey) my clan will avenge me. And you my king knows that my family has a power to begin a war."
Then the king gets down on his horse and walk pass through his men. Every steps the king made Aubrey also takes a step backwards.
"Your father? Are you sure he is your father?" The king made guess. Aubrey was confused by her own trick. "Why do you have to waste your life to somebody else's child?" The king added and grinned.
"Wh-what are you saying?" She was nervous now on her situation.
"The Delbey I know has a crescent moon mark on her nape." Then the king stops making his steps when he finally made a near face-to-face on Aubrey and lowers his head runs his finger on her neck that shows marks on her nape too "and you have the sun's mark".
Aubrey remembers her sun shape birthmark on her nape. She can't believe it also exist in dream and can be used to expose her. The king snatched the knife and throw it on the ground. The baby beguns to cry as it was awaken from its sleep. Then the king signals two guards to take the child and bring it back to the kingdom. Then other guards pinned Aubrey on her knees to the ground.
"Who are you?" He asked politely. Aubrey doesn't respond but only gritted her teeth. When a strong emotion he pulled out his sword and asked in scream who she was. When he was about to point the sword on Aubrey's neck, she closed her eyes seeing it going to point at her. She had thought everything is a dream but if she was killed there and also be killed in real world then she would totally accept her fate.
But a silent arroow suddenly approach, so the king strike it instead to prevent from being hit.Then the king and his men look around to see who shot the arrow. Then a sound of an arriving horse from the forest heard. Everyone prepares to attack but when it arrived it had no one on it. Then someone flying from the skies arrive and exactly landed on the Aubrey's side. Then everyone holding their swords look back to Aubrey.
Aubrey feels his arrival. But she doesn't dare to open her eyes. Then he holds her hand and raise her up. Then that's the time she opened her eyes and saw the guys enlightened face.
"Was I too late? Or too long to save you?" He said smiling sweetly.
The angry King asked him who he was.
So the guy look at them with smoldered. "I go where my lady goes." He said.
"Zecheng" Aubrey exclaimed.
