Chereads / Love You in My Dreams / Chapter 16 - 16

Chapter 16 - 16

Aubrey was marveled by meeting the prince charming slash the knight on the book she read. The book she thought was written by someone but actually her dream. She wondered why the previous dreams define the guy normally when in fact he was pretty handsome.

"So you are Zecheng, the guy who manipulated my wife." The king smirked.

Zecheng then stands still and formally greeted the king like a general. "I'm sorry your majesty. But I the General Polaris is only here to report. May you gave me the chance to solve these case."

Aubrey' s admiration towards the guy he thought was Zecheng vanished. The king was glad to hear it. Then he chained Aubrey's hand and ride into the horse heading back to the kingdom. Aubrey was confused, according to her thoughts he was Zecheng, but the other side of her says Zecheng is not real. She stared at him for too long when she noticed the road was not right.

Zecheng gets down from the horse, then assist the lady then unwrapped the rope on her hand.

"What are you doing? Who really are you?" She asked.

He look at her eyes and replied, " I am Zecheng."

"Really trying to fool me? How can I know you're not some kind of demon who followed Ruichen?"

" Why are you not on the caves entrance? When I arrived no one was there. Then I forget what happened and wonder how I arrived there."

"You said, you wondered how you arrive there, how did you know I should be waiting for someone on the cave?"

Then Zecheng told her how everything was on her life.

Zecheng was actually another name, he use these when he was outside the kingdom. Polaris was his real and given name, and he grew up with Delbey. When Delbey was announced to have a child Polaris decide to live the kingdom for a while with the king's approval. Everything was once normal but then something pulled him and forced him to not leave and do the task. He clearly saw the dark ink. Then the dark ink lead him to Aubrey, and that was the first time they met. Polaris loves Delbey, but she was already a married woman with a great responsibility and mother of the crowned son. Meeting Aubrey was a surprise, Delbey and her was different in looks but when you look her in a short time the resemblance of their beauty are really alike, but when stared for too long you'll see the differences.

He introduce himself as Zecheng, was force to protect her by the inks command. When he creates his own story he'll suffer a great head ache. When they were crossing the rivers looking for Rushelle. He actually doesn't spitted by the giant venomous snake they've challenge but it's because he tried to scape for his role, endangering Aubrey.

Everyone on the village, the village of Aubrey in her dream where she first arrive and met Zecheng, knew the ink and her are connected. The ink creates destiny for the people there. Myrtle can't be blame for pushing her on the pool of Forgotten. Cause after she forget everything that happened the characters are erased. The ink was gone and everyone's life returned.

But it doesn't last for too long, cause Aubrey was to anxious and keeps on retrieving the memories she had. The ink then awaken and prepares to set up a new version of the story to recreate the vanished storyline.

When Aubrey heard what really was behind the dream and book, she breathes deeply.

"It seems like it's a mistake to remember the guy who promised to look with the moon."

Aubrey look at the sky, then saw a clear and starry night.

"It seems the night was beautiful, but sad to say the moon was missing."

Aubrey just realized she ruined the life of these people controlling them unknowingly.

"Miss, don't be sad. Cause I know a solution that could help you not be killed by your conscience. After your trial today on Ruichen's kingdom, I will take you to her.

(At the kingdom)

Ruichen asked her questions and Zecheng too act as her lawyer. He defended her will. The king sensed something was between them. So he ask Zecheng why he defended the imposter Delbey.

"Because... I love her." Zecheng answered confidently.

His answer made the crowd to make noise. Aubrey herself feels her heart beat fast. She looks at her defender only at the back. The way he say it was empty but the way the king saw his eyes shows a lot of love. And it made him furious.

The truth was, Ruichen likes these version of Delbey. Not afraid to express and do what she wants to. Although her actions were unacceptable in the eyes of the law, he feels he would miss her if she is gone. He was obliged to punish her for fraud. But he doesn't like to see her suffer. Instead, he asked her to gave a speech for her stand.

"I am standing her today to clear myself that I am not an evil person. I arrive here not knowing why and how. Everything I saw was weird cause in my world we have different race, culture, and beliefs. But you here are United. I discovered secrets (then looks at the king) that pushes me to run away. But it's not just the secret that made me do it. It was these dream that a guy was waiting for me and promised me (looks at Zecheng) to see the moon with it's fullest. I hope you all can forgive me for ruining your lives I will fixed it all. Thank you."

The crowd was just silent. Then Zecheng once again stands up and face the crowd saying. "Forgave my lady. After all it's not her fault to be found and be treated like the real Delbey. But I assure you, Delbey was alive and safe. I know where she is but as of now she doesn't like to show herself yet. She only asked me make you all live these woman who had amnesia go back from where she belongs." Then the crowd agreed on him.

After all the say the king must also gave his final decision. He should let her go cause she was way too innocent and blind from everything that had happened. So he decreed,

"I the king who rules the land. Hereby announced my judgement to these lady in front of my court. In order to be pardon by your sin Aubrey, I command you to choose your destiny. To die or be the kings new wife." the announcers read, then the king smiled
