After a while, Wendy and the guards arrive at the place where Sung said goodbye to her. No one is here already, except the shimmer of the wind and some blood on the ground. A piece of clothes catches Wendy’s eyes, it belongs to Sung! “Seems like our majesty has…” Simon says with grief. His words make Wendy despair. Her heart pounds fast, and its about to explode itself. “Keep searching! Even his body!” Wendy looks Simon back with tough in her eyes. She hands the plant to him, “Here is the plant, ask someone to bring this back to palace. And save Princess Zena! I will stay here with you, and we will find the majesty! We must!” Simon nods, makes a big bow to Wendy, “Yes, your Royal Princess!” Then unexpectedly, he hits her hindbrain in complete secrecy! Wendy faints to his arm. “Please understand and forgive me, your Royal Princess.” Turning to the guards, “Send this plant and Royal Princess home!”
Simon is a good person, he made this decision after seeing the wound on Wendy’s forehead. If the Majesty died or something, he can’t let anything happen to the Royal Princess! For Simon, Wendy is a good woman, though the Majesty doesn’t adore her that much in palace. Also, he wants to thank her for helping the injured guard last time. Later on, Wendy is on her way to the palace, in the carriage. It is almost nightfall, about tomorrow morning she and the rest of the guards will arrive at the palace.
In her deep sleep, Wendy has a dream. She dreams about Sung, he died, his body and head are hanging separately on the tree! Thousands of crows fly and scream nearby his deadpan body. About herself, she gets caught by the ruthless thugs and brought back to their base. They try to rape her, one by one! She yells but her man won’t show up anymore. Then she kicks them out and ran towards Sung’s dead body. To her surprise, his body has disappeared… “Sung! Please don’t leave me alone! Where are you?” She calls his name from one valley to another, her echo is swirling around the mountain…
After then, she is thrown into the freezing sea, too cold to crush her bones! Her body begins to bleed, everywhere, sooner or later, her blood dyes the whole sea into red. “Sung will come to rescue me, he will…” The same thought runs in her mind.
“Yasmin, Yasmin! She is back! My God, she’s back!” Meanwhile, she hears someone talking beside her. “Wait, does it mean she will go back to the 21st century?! To her family and see her parents and brother? What about Sung? Where is he? He is dead maybe, somewhere… No one can find his body…”
Wendy is driving mad by those sounds, “Sung!!” She opens her eyes and wakes up! She is in her room actually, surrounded by people in palace.
“Sister? Where is our majesty? Why you didn’t go back with him together?” Lacey cries and beats her body. She is not acting this time, it’s her real emotion. Then someone pulls Lacey away. Wendy looks around, two women sit on her bed. One is the Queen, and the other one she doesn’t know. But she wears the costume of the Royal Empress; the delicate red dress with one enormous golden Phoenix on, all handmade. That woman looks in deadpan, and she looks exactly the same as Wendy’s mother, the one from the 21st century! ” Mom…” Wendy’s eyes get red. She wants to call her like this, but she doesn’t speak it out. Because the woman is not her mom, she is the Royal Empress!
“My kid, I’m sorry to make you suffer outside… You are home now.” The Royal Empress says with sorrow, “No worry about Sung, he will be back safely!” Her words not only just a comfort to Wendy, but also a belief to her son. However, she can never imagine her son can be in danger this time, due to those vast of thugs, he is helpless in front of them. The guards who brought Wendy back didn’t mention this. So no one knows Sung’s situation except Wendy. The Royal Empress glances at Lacey with unpleasant, scolds, “Lacey, she is your elder sister. How could you beat her without caring? Do you think this is properly?”
“I’m sorry, your Royal Empress. Please forgive me. I, I just worry about the Majesty so much, that’s why… I didn’t mean to hurt my sister…” Lacey explains, with a grievance. In deed, she doesn’t think of anything but Sung that time. She turns to Wendy, making a big bow, “I’m sorry sister, please forgive me. Are you alright?” Wendy looks up, feeling guilty to her, “That’s fine, Lacey. I have faults as well, I made our majesty in trouble.”
The Queen speaks now, “Yasmin, no need to apologize. It’s not your fault, we all know it clearly. Poor kid, you saved our Zena, the God should award you, not make you suffer more.” The Queen sighs and about to cry. Wendy comforts, “My dear Queen, thank you for your sorrow. I’m fine, I just worry about the Majesty.” The Queen nods with confidence, “I’m sure our Sung will be back, safely. He knows Kungfu well!” Wendy feels guiltier when she hears this, she can’t tell them the truth, that Sung transferred his internal power to her when she is about to die that moment. Otherwise, they will get crazy maybe. One is his mother; one is his grandmother; and one is his new wife. She feels bad even to look at them.
“The plant?! Did the doctors get the plant by the way?” Wendy remembers the plant all of a sudden.
“Yes! No worry about Zena now. She wakes up already. It’s all your help!” The Royal Empress comforts her, patting her hand gently like her mom. Wendy sighs, “That’s good to hear at least.” The Queen looks around and complains, “Where is Ron?? Yasmin saved Zena and her grandson, how’s she not showing up here for a greeting?”
The Royal Empress smiles and replies, “My Queen, I guess she is staying with Zena and Charlie now. She is too busy now to visit Yasmin. So please don’t get mad with her.” The Queen sighs, “Fine. I really don’t understand, why our Charlie suffers so much when he’s born. Life is so unfair to this kid…”
“He will become a successful and reckless man when he grows up! Cause he has suffered too much to make him strong!” The Royal Empress comforts. The Queen shakes her head, “I don’t want to see how successful he will become in the future. I just want him to be safe and sound in his life! Outwardly, we are the luckiest people in this country. However, we are the poorest, cause we meant to suffer and be controlled in our lives.”
Wendy feels something happened when she hears them talking, she asks curiously, “Excuse me, sorry to ask, my dear Queen and Empress, is there something bad happens to Prince Charlie?” The word “bad” shouldn’t allow to say in the palace. Anyway, no one judges Wendy at this point.
“Well, he gets jaundice fast after you and Sung left. Then the high fever bothered him for several days. So he doesn’t look good… He cries and pukes every single day.” The Queen sighs and replies, with her heartbroken. Wendy hears this, she can’t stay quiet anymore, it’s very dangerous for Charlie now.
“I will go check on him now!” She opens her sheet and ready to get out. While she is stopped by the Royal Empress, “Yasmin, you are not well either for now. You should be resting. When you get better you can go and see him. Not now!”
“I worry about him, he may get the acute hemolysis! It can’t wait! My dear Empress and Queen, please let me go, just for a while. Then I will come back to rest. I promise, please!” Wendy begs and struggles to check on Charlie. She can’t wait even one minute. “Sister, please rest! First, the doctors there to stay with Prince Charlie; second, you are not a doctor. What if you faint again on the way? No worry now, he will be fine!” Lacey also helps to persuade Wendy to rest.
The Queen nods as well, “Exactly. All doctors are there, he will be fine. Besides, if something happens, they will come to inform us. Please listen to your sister, take some rest.” Still, Wendy asks to go checking on little Charlie. “Please, just one time! Please!” She knows how dangerous of the acute hemolysis. People can die easily, not mention to a small newborn.
Seeing her insistence, the Queen agrees, “Fine, fine, you may go! But you must keep warm and take the carriage.” She agrees just for Wendy’s good heart. “Poor kid, you must take care of yourself more. The doctor said you are lucky to wake up this time. Maybe next time you won’t be that lucky!” Wendy doesn’t get why they always say something like that, she can’t imagine how many wounds she has on her body now, but there must be a lot…
Wendy gets up fast, trying to move. Her maid helps her with the shoes, which makes her feel uncomfortable. However, too many rules in this palace she can’t even count. Then she moves to the Sunrise Palace, where Charlie stays, on her VIP carriage. And following by other maids. They all worry she is too weak to faint. Even she coughs accidentally, they are thinking of managing the doctor for her.
