“Princess Lacey, may I ask you a question?” Zhuge speaks while Sung’s in deep thought. Lacey sneers back, “Brother, it’s funny how you call me like this…” She treats Zhuge as a big brother, and she hopes Zhuge stands on her side. Zhuge sighs, “Sister Lacey, I told you before but you didn’t listen to me… I tried to help you here you knew it.” Lacey looks up, with tears rolling in her eyes. “Brother, just ask what you want to ask.”
Zhuge sighs then looks into her eyes, “Then how you poisoned Doctor Wen before? Before you put those poisoned in her cakes.” Lacey explains, “That’s easy, brother. I used to bring her some rose teas, for two days to drink every time, she just drank them all. Then I began to put the women’s heart in it. That’s how I poisoned her before. Until that day, she didn’t back from the royal palace, I smelled something was wrong. So I gave her the non-poisoned ones that day you guys came, remember? However, I have poisoned her for a long time, I wouldn’t want to stop my efforts. Then I thought about Zoe and her cakes. If you guys suspect, only to Zoe but me. Well, I never expected you guys were that smart to find out those sugars! Whatever, I lived long enough! Just let me die!”
Zoe gets anger and yells to Lacey, “Wow, how could you be so evil? I didn’t piss you off before, right? I could never imagine how selfishness you are?!” Zoe’s words sound like Lacey has poisoned her for a long time. It’s sort of overacted. Lacey doesn’t respond, just stares at her quietly for a long time. Then she replies, “I didn’t think of poisoning you, Zoe.”
“That’s it?” Zoe holds her fists and tries to punch that bitch.
“You look fine Zoe, at least you woke up…” Lacey says.
“That’s all because of my luck! It’s nothing to do with you!” Zoe replies.
Zhuge watches them, a strange feeling comes up to his mind. He feels Zoe might have some unpleasant stories with Lacey… They argue like they are enemies for a long time. Same as Wendy, but Sung doesn’t feel anything this time, his heart is on Wendy and Zoe now. He walks to Lacey, replies clearly with each word, “Then you will stay here forever, if you like here so badly! Without my permission, you can’t walk out. That will be all.” His words make Lacey’s heart distinguished one final time. All her admires and desires on Sung has died.
“Such a loser, Sung! You don’t even dare to kill me! So impressive!” Lacey tries to provoke him, then he may give her the best way to put her out of misery.
“Sister, it’s easy to execute you. Sung just doesn’t want to make your parents sad, they have lost one daughter. They can’t lose one more. You need to think of them at least!” Zhuge helps her again, he still cares for her inside. Lacey holds her emotion for a few seconds, then she cries. Wendy cries too from behind, she feels pain on her hand. Normally when she cares about someone, or heartbroken, she would feel something like that. “Sung…” Wendy wants to persuade him more.
Sung speaks before Wendy finishes, “Cut it, I will kill her now, if you say more.”
Lacey turns and walks towards inside, she strides like a living dead from the Korean movie Train To Busan. Like an empty shell without its radian pearl. She walks in her room then closes her door behind. Wendy cries on Sung’s shoulder, she should protect her sister for Yasmin and her parents. She turns and walks out, Sung grabs her, “Perhaps, you may think I am a heartless man, but she shouldn’t have that cruel heart to nobody. No matter how madness or sadness she is, she can’t be cruel to others.”
Wendy responses, back to Sung, “Then you should also know, who made her like this?” Sung sneers, “Wow, she used to treat you badly. And you still feel sorrow for her. I don’t get it, are you…”
Zhuge stops him at once! “Sung, don’t mess it up! She is doctor Wen!” Everyone else can hear their talk now, Zhuge doesn’t want Wendy into another trouble. He can’t trust Zoe that much now, he smells Zoe might not that innocent as she looks.
Sung wakes up from Zhuge’s words, “Anyway, she deserves it!” Wendy walks out, “I want to be alone today…” Then she’s gone. Wendy walks on the street, her lonely heart causes some pains inside. She needs someone to talk, and vent it out, while she has no one here, except Cooper. Still, Cooper is a man, he can’t understand her feeling like a woman. She sighs and passes a small restaurant, she walks in and sits in a corner. Suddenly, she sees a fancy carriage passing by, it belongs to Zack.
“Hey, beauty, can we sit together?” A young man asks her. He has dark skin and charming face, which is covered by his straw hat. Wendy looks around, there are free tables. Before she looks back, that man has sit already. “Firstly, there are no other girls around me; secondly, there’s no good view except here! Thirdly, you need someone to talk!” Wendy stares at him for a while, then nods.
“Bring a bottle of strong wine here!” He orders to a worker.
“The strong one?” Wendy asks.
“Yes, it’s cheap anyway!” He says with a smile. “What would you like to drink? Pretty? I treat you today!” He asks Wendy. “Same as yours!” Wendy replies. His eyes wide open, “Same as me? That’s too strong for a woman! You better drink the Osmanthus wine!” Wendy laughs, “Anyway, I follow you, gentleman.”
“Why are you so not independent?! Don’t change your mind because of others, okay?!” The young man teases back. “Well, there is a difference between insistence and stubborn. I don’t follow anybody you know it. I just want to try yours.” Wendy replies with a smile.
“No, I don’t agree with ya! If you decide something, then you better try it! Regardless it is right or wrong, that’s the meaning of our lives, right?” He says sternly. Soon, the wines are come, Wendy puts her Osmanthus wine to him, then she grabs his strong one to herself. “Hey, that’s mine! Idiot!” He gets pissed.
“I think you should drink mine, that’s suit you more.” Wendy replies calmly. “Bullshit! I know what I want!” He tries to take his wine back, Wendy slaps his hands. “If you know what you want, then you wouldn’t insist to drink the strong one.” Wendy explains. “Don’t you ever think, Jun!” Wendy warns him.
“Oh, come on! Just one time!” John begins to beg her. “You wanna die again?! How many times I told you you couldn’t drink strong wine?! And why you came back here again, in this dangerous place for you?” Wendy checks with unpleasant. Jun sighs, “Well, it’s too bored without you there! I came for you!” Jun is Wendy’s friend, he’s one of siblings from the King. He is that one who survived last time from the King’s big family. Uncle Jun, Sung’s mysterious uncle. He was sent to City Edina after then. That’s where he met Wendy, and she saved him one time.
