Sooner than later, Wendy woke up, she felt spinning in her head, although she lied on the bed. “Am I still alive?” She sees the King nearby and asks. His face turns from calm to tense, when he hears her words. “Don’t say this unlucky thing, after you woke up! You won’t die, Wengela, and I won’t let you die!” Wendy sighs and feels her temperature, “How did I pass out?” She asks to doctor Shawn.
“You have been poisoned by someone…” Shawn says. “Poison? How?” Wendy asks with disbelief.
“Don’t you feel anything about it? As a doctor? This poison is not that hard to find out.” Shawn frowns. Wendy shakes her head, she seems to not notice at all. “Who took care of you recently?” The King asks. Wendy considers for a while, the person stays with her is Sunny after she sent Daisy and Chen away. While, Sunny is not a bad girl, she shouldn’t do this to her! Seeing her innocent and confusing face, the King sighs, “You silly girl, you are too nice. Later if I pick you in, you won’t survive for a week here.” Wendy smiles, joking back, “You see, my King. That’s why I’m insisted to be free. I’m not born for the royal palace.” The King replies with relief, “Anyway, you woke up now. I think you may stay here, I don’t trust those people around you in your place. I have so many rooms, just choose the one you like! While you stay here, I will find that person out who poisoned you!”
Wendy feels like trapped now, she can’t disobey the King in front of the doctors. “I am tired, my King. I want to rest.” She finds an excuse. She must figure a way out of here fast. The King kicks the doctors out for making prescription, and sits near her, watching her sleep… it’s weird so Wendy gives up, “My King, you said you would give me three days…”
The King furrows, and asks, “Well, who were you talking about while you pass out?”
“Did I?” Wendy surprises, she recalled her memories and remembered she was talking about Sung. “Oh, it’s my donkey and dog at home, my master left them to me, and they are my dear family.” Wendy says, she can’t give Sung out for now. Who knows what the King would do with his son if he knows the truth?!
The King laughs, “Hah, you have a donkey and a dog?! Then I will bring them in, if you feel unsecured.” Wendy explains fast, “Oh no need, my King! I just need to rest a little then I can go home. Besides, the one who poisoned me I must figure it out by myself! I want to know why they do this to me!” She used many “I”, which is not polite in front of the King. Anyway, the King doesn’t mind.
“No, you can’t go now. How would I make you in danger again after you passed out? Let Sung deals with this!” He orders. Wendy refuses him, “No, no, my King. Please don’t tell anyone, before we have some pieces of evidences here. This happened in the Majesty’s place, I don’t want him to know yet.” The King doesn’t convinced by her words, he feels she just tries to find a reason to leave. “Wengela, just because this happened to Sung’s place, I must take care of him too! What if someone wants to poison him as well? Anyway, feel like home here. I will figure it out!”
Wendy doesn’t continue arguing with him, or she will lose his trust totally. “Fine, my King. But I still want to live in my place. First, we can’t let the bad person notice that we know this already; second, I get used to sleeping on my own bed…” The King sighs and agrees, “Ok, you may go if you insist. I promised I would give you time to think anyway. Then I will ask Sung to take you back. But, if anything worse happens, I will bring you here again! For your safety!” Wendy nods, sighs with relief.
In the afternoon, Sung comes home and checks with Wendy, “Where’s Doctor Wen?” He asks his guard. “My majesty, Doctor Wen went into the palace for treating the King. She’s not back yet.” Sung’s face changed to blue, “Why she’s there again? The King has recovered right? She always makes trouble for me!”
The guard explains fast, “No, my majesty, it’s the King who asked Doctor to go there. He said he had a headache again. Dan came here for looking for you this morning, for something emergency. Please go and meet him, your majesty.” Sung nods then walks fast to meet Dan, “Oh my majesty, finally you are back! I waited for you the whole day!”
“What happened?” Sung asks. “Please go with me now, I worry the King has mad already of waiting for us that long. I will tell you on the way, my majesty.” Dan explains then walks to the carriage with Sung. “So what happened? Did Doctor Wen say something to piss my father?” Sung asks in sorrow, he feels that’s the only reason to piss him off! Dan replies, “No, I don’t know why the King pissed today. I just know…” He told Sung how Wendy passed out on the stairs.
“Passed out? How’s she right now?” Sung’s face turned blue to white, he thought Wendy died!!
“She is fine now. Don’t worry, my majesty. The doctor said she got poisoned. The King asked her to rest in the Palace, and didn’t want her to leave. But Doctor Wen insisted to go home, so the King asked me to take you to pick her up.” Dan answers.
“Who poisoned her then? How she got poisoned? In the royal palace?” Sung checks more. Dan shakes his head, “No, the doctor said she got poisoned in your place. She’s been poisoned for a while, but she doesn’t know herself. Then something happened inside I guess, she passed out when she walked to the stairs.” Dan told him everything he heard from outside. His words make Sung terrified, a chill running down his spine. He waited for her three years to reunion, then she got poisoned by someone. He must protect her well, no matter what!
Soon, the carriage stops in front of the Moral Palace, Sung and Dan walk off. “Your majesty!” Dan stops him. “I followed the King many years already, I knew him well. You knew his heart to Doctor Wen, right? So you better calm down and be cool in front of him.” Dan is very smart, and he stays in the royal palace long enough, though he’s only thirty or something. He knows Sung can be the King one day, so his heart decides to follow him.
“Thanks, Dan, I will be careful.” Sung understands his words well and feels thankful. “That’s right, my majesty. You must pretend here, then you can do whatever you want with Doctor at home.” Dan suggests. Sung nods walk inside. The King sits on his chair, very calm, “He’s here?” Dan nods, “Yes, my King. The majesty was with our soldiers today, that’s why he came home late. We are sorry to be here late. Please forgive us.” The King nods and asks Sung in.
Wendy has slept for a long time, the medicine from the doctor contains some tranquilizer. That’s why she had a long good sleep. Sung sees Wendy sleeping there, feeling heartache. “Father, I’m here.” He can’t show any expression to the King. “How’s your day?” The King asks gently. “Father. I’m fine. Thanks for caring.” Sung replies. “Good, keep up with your great work!” The King says.
“Yes, I always try my best, father.” Sung replies. “Then bring Doctor Wen back, she just woke up from the poisoning. You must look after her well and finds out that bad person who poisoned her! I hate those people who use the tricks behind someone’s back!” The King orders. Sung nods then tries to hug her up. The King stops him again, “Let her sleep more, Sung. If she feels tired, the you take her out tomorrow.” The King suggests. Sung explains fast, “How about this, my father? Let’s wait for now, when she wakes up if she wants to go, then we go. If not, we go the next day! I just worry the bad people gonna notice something and slip way. Besides, you know Doctor Wen is very in her character.” The King laughs, “Fine, I know her well! She’s very naughty. Then let’s wait for her. By the way… We haven’t chatted for a long time… my son.”
