Tulip feels bad about hiding what happened with Wendy and Sung on the mountain. She decides to tell the truth to the Royal Empress. The Empress is reading on her couch beneath the windowsill in her room. Tulip walks in quietly, and asks other maids to leave. “What’s up, Tulip?” The Empress asks, she knows Tulip wants to say something now. “My Empress, I heard that the Majesty met the thugs in the mountain. He lost his internal power there. Worse, those thugs are about 100 people, so I worry about our majesty…”
Hearing this shocking news, her book falls to the ground, “What did you say? Why he lost his power? How’s this happened?” After Tulip told her everything about how he saved Yasmin in the mountain. The Empress cries, she covers her face in agony, “My poor kid, I hope he will be fine this time! These two kids are funny. I always want Sung to be nicer to Yasmin, however, he never listens to me. But this time he would sacrifice himself for her. He still loves her I know that. It’s all about that Zoe, it’s been a long time, he can’t forget her still. Anyway, if anything happens to him, I don’t know how I gonna live.”
Tulip comes closer to comfort, “Master, don’t think upon those negative sides. The Majesty is a wise man, he is a good fighter as well in our family! He’s born with blue blood, so God will always protect him from behind. I’m sure he will be back safely!” The Empress has no heart to listen to anyone. As a mother, she always worries about her kid no matter what! “Let’s go to the Buddha hall, we must pray for him with the Queen.” Tulip nods, she helps her dressing then they head out.
On their way, the Empress begins to curious about Yasmin. “Hey, Tulip, do you know when Yasmin learned the Chinese medical? Why I didn’t know about this before?” Tulip shakes her head and replies, “Well, I don’t know either, master. I just heard she saved Princess Zena and Charlie last time. They were almost dying, I mean they actually dead. Then somehow Yasmin saved both of them!” The Empress nods, ruminating, “Ok, I got it. I will talk to her later when Sung is back. Perhaps, she has been through something.”
After the talk with the King, Wendy is about to leave. Suddenly, Lacey walks in angrily. She stares at her coldly, cause she heard everything from outside! “Clap!” She slaps Wendy all of a sudden. “Listen, if anything happens to the Majesty, I will kill you!” It’s her first time to say something cruel like that, which surprises Wendy. But this time, Wendy doesn’t fight back. She feels she does have responsible for it. Seeing no response from Wendy, Lacey gets more angry. “Hey, are you telling the truth?! Majesty is a wise man, he can’t sacrifice himself for saving you, are you hiding something?!” Lacey doesn’t want to believe the truth from Wendy’s story! Sung used to hate her to death, how could he save her by giving up himself? Does he really love her, still? The truth is he does! But Lacey doesn’t want to accept it.
Several weeks pass by, no message from Sung. Lacey sometimes comes for bullying her, that’s it. All these weeks, Wendy tries to figure out how to get out of the palace to search Sung. However, she knows the Queen and the Empress won’t let her go. Most of her injuries have recovered, except her feet. Wendy sprained her feet in that mountain, so the doctor comes for treating her feet sometimes by acupuncture. This reminds her of the golden needles and that book!
“Gets my backpack please!” She yells to Tulip, Tulip helps her getting the bag after a few minutes. She takes that book out, and starts to search how to cure Charlie’s disease. Lacey stays there almost every day, however, Wendy never cares about her. She treats her like the air. And this time she sees Wendy searching the stupid book, she can’t hold her emotions anymore. She takes the book away from her, yells, “Hey, are you cold-blooded? How you have a mood to read a book? What’s going on with you?” Suddenly, Wendy takes it back, stares at her angrily, “Get out, and wait outside! Don’t disturb me from now on! I need to take care of Prince Charlie. If you really worry about Sung, go waiting for him somewhere else!”
To her utter surprised, Lacey sits to the ground and starts to cry, like a child. Wendy gets lost. Anyway It’s her own sister, she shouldn’t tell to her. She helps her up, comforting, “I know you worry about Sung, me too! The King has sent the people to rescue him, we must support and trust him here in the palace. That’s the last thing we can do for him.” Lacey wipes her tears off, replies, “Sister, I promise, if he can come back safely, I won’t fight with you any longer. Let’s be nice to each other.” Wendy gets touched by her promise, maybe she is acting again who knows. But she would like to believe her words, “Ok, I will give you my position and leave here, if he can come back safely. You hear my word.” Wendy doesn’t know why she replies to something like that.
“For real??” Lacey feels surprised, she stares at her with unbelievable.
Wendy nods, “After this time, I understand he loves you, that’s true. I shouldn’t be the third wheel between you and him! So I would like to leave here.” What she said is her wish, to be honest. She feels like she doesn’t belong here, she is from the 21st century. Since Sung doesn’t love her from day 1, and now he decides to love her back, all because of her unique and special. It’s a kind of attractive, not true love. She would like to leave here to have some normal peaceful life. Looking at her elder sister changing a little, Lacey is satisfied. She starts to be nice to Wendy again.
“Sister, I’m very delighted you could say something like that… Oh Please take more rest, you can read later.” Lacey helps her down, then tucks her in like her mom. Wendy looks at her, smiling back, “Ok, then I will take a nap. You may go take some rest as well, sister.” She persuades her to leave, then she can keep reading her book. “Ok, then I will come back to you later.” Lacey walks out and closes the door, in a good mood.
“Ahh…” Suddenly, she hears Wendy screaming inside. She runs back to her immediately! “Hey, gets the doctor here now!” She yells to a maid outside. She thinks Wendy’s feet get hurt maybe. Looking back to Wendy, she stares at the corner of her room, looking blankly. Then she wakes up by Lacey’s voice.
“Hurry! Go get the King for me!” She screams to Lacey, which scares her. “Are you alright, sister?” Lacey asks carefully. Unexpected, Wendy holds her head in agony, yelling, “My God, he, he is in a cave! He is alive! Come, come to save him!” Her behavior looks like a lunatic in jail. Lacey is too frightened to call the doctors and the King at once. When they arrive, Wendy remains in agony. Her whole body has soaked and jerked on her bed. “How she pains like that? Did you treat her well?” The King judges the doctors there.
“Bang!” Wendy falls to the ground, she climbs to the King, then holds his hand tightly. “Father… He, he is in a cave! It’s toward the southeast. The cave, there are big rocks, grass and… He can’t move his feet, he is in huge pain! Ahh… Mom, it’s so painful! My gosh, can someone help me?” Wendy begins to hit herself, due to the huge pain in her head, it seems like her head will explode! She runs and crushed to the table, “Clang…” She faints, the red blood runs out from her head…
“Hurry, hurry! Someone brings her back to bed! Doctor, come to check her! My God!” The King orders with panic. Wendy’s gestures have scared everybody in the room. She is like the old witch, chanting around and talking nonsense. While the doctors are saving her, the King turns to his guard behind. “Go! Find the cave she said! The big cave with big rocks and grass around. The Majesty might be there!” The guards’ nod then runs out.
General Ning, who is a good friend of Sung, as well as the leader of praetorian. He sent his people out immediately when he got the order from the King! Two hours later, General and his people have arrived there, the Sirius mountain. At the same time, in the Palace, Prince Zack heard about this, he also worries about Sung a lot. So he and his people went to the Sirius mountain also, to rescue Sung. It’s about evening now, they both head toward the southeast to find Sung.
Fortunately, Simon and his people have found the base of thugs! He and his men are fighting with those thugs for a long time. So there is the clang from Swords; the screaming from the battle. The blood everywhere. It’s not a peaceful night. Then at last, one hour later, Sung has been found in the cave, with rocks and grass around. Wendy saved him.
