The same big hall now seems dead, like another world for Wendy. Even the air has stopped here. The King stops in front and turns to Wendy, Wendy keeps her head down, avoiding the eye contact with him. He walks closer and closer, then holds her chin up and looks into her eyes, stern and cold, “How you explain now? You and Sung, I knew you guys are together. Listen, no one can take you away from me, you belong to me!!” Wendy remains calm, she replies, “My King, I don’t know what are you talking about?” The King then holds her chin tighter, “Fine, I will let you know now!” He grabs her waist then kisses her unexpectedly!!
She feels his sticky lips touch hers, then his tongue goes into her mouth and twists with hers. The sour foam runs from his mouth to hers, which makes Wendy deadly sick! She pushes him away then runs back to the Queen’s room, “I’m sorry, your King!!” She bumps on Sung, who just walks out of the Queen’s room. Sung hugs her, seeing her bruise chin, “What did he do to you?!” He asks with anxiety. Wendy shakes her head and comforts, “Nothing, he didn’t do anything to me…” Sung doesn’t believe her for sure, “He just yelled to me there…” Wendy replies.
The Queen hears from inside, sighs, “I tried to help you guys, but I think I mess it up…” Sung hears then goes to her, “Grandma, thanks for your helping! I really appreciate it! Don’t worry, I will figure it out.” Of course, he’s lying too. He has no way to control or stop his father, even the Queen has no way out. No one else can then! “He is scared of his position, we all know how he got that place, that flirty place…” The Queen says.
“We will figure it out.” Wendy holds Sung’s hands firmly. She is the only one can support him now. She stares at his eyes, with an unexplainable glare. She decides to do something, and she won’t let the King do whatever he wants, after that rude and disgusting kiss! She goes to meet the King for going home, the King refuses to see her, so Dan helps her to ask. She uses the reason, that she forgot her needles at home. The King agrees, and asks some guards to follow her. Actually, her needles are with her already, she needs to do something else…
They follow her back home, “Please wait here, my dog bites people.” The guards nod then watches her from the gate. No one allows to go in.
She comes to Donkey first, “Donkey, I need that pill, it’s time now.” She rubs the donkey and says. The Donkey sighs and checks, “Are you sure?” She nods with insistence. Donkey pukes a red pill out, “If you take this, you won’t even have any chance to get alive, after you die! You won’t even go back to your world! Please considerate seriously! Wendy!” Wendy sighs too, “Well, I have no choice, right?” She replies then looks at this red pill, it’s from her master. This pill could give her some special power, to cure people. But after she takes it, she will get weak and die soon. After her death, she must stay with another master like 100 years to watching their alchemy furnace! And later on, she may go back to her parents one time, and that’s all. Then she will disappear, forever and ever. To be honest, Wendy wants to take this pill, just for meeting her parents one time.
She throws the pill to her mouth and swallows it. Then brings Coral to Donkey, “Please help me taking care of her, you guys are family! I will try to be back earlier to you guys.” She knows what’s waiting for her, the death. She feels bad for her parents, she doesn’t even have a chance to look after them, to buy them a good house or give them a grandson or granddaughter… it is too late now. She walks out then goes to the carriage back.
On the carriage, her tummy begins to ache, her mater said, she would suffer this pain like six hours or so. It’s not that much pain, somehow like period pain, well it is still not easy to hold. Fast, she feels some liquid drop down to her dress, it’s blood! She bites herself so hard that begins to bleed!
Some sweats run down from her forehead, she feels like the monkey king lives in her body and making flips inside! She is in a huge pain that can’t bear right at the moment. A guard checks back, and sees Wendy’s pale face, “What happened, Doctor?! Are you alright?!”
She grabs one guard and begs, “Please knock me down right now! I’m in huge pain! Please!” That guard gets tense and yells to the driver to drive faster. He goes in the carriage and hugs Wendy. Wendy lies on his laps. She gets too painful to bite on his arm. The guard understands her and remains calm. “I’m sorry…. I can’t help it. Please, please forgive me…” She keeps apologizes to him.
“It’s fine, Doctor, if this makes you feel better…” He says.
“Can you knock me down or freeze me by acupuncture?! Please!” She holds his hands and begs. The guard shakes his head, in hopeless, “No, the King will kill me if I do that.” Wendy begs again, “No one will know, just knock me down!” The guards still shakes his head, refuses to help her. He knows the King loves her now. What he can do is to put another hand near her mouth, “Just bite me, Doctor, please! I really can’t knock you down!” Wendy sighs then bites his other hand harder and harder, on their way to the royal palace. Drops of blood fall to the guard’s clothes, he’s still say nothing and holding up there.
Half an hour later, they arrive, eventually. The guard carries her up then rushes to the Queen’s palace! Sung sees and runs towards them, “What, what happened?!” The guard replies in a rush, “I have no idea, my majesty. She starts to have a stomachache on the carriage with no reason!” Jun runs to them fast, seeing her soaked clothes and sweats, yelling to the guard, “Go, find the doctors!” Suddenly, they see blood coming out of her mouth, “Shit! She bites her tongue!” Jun yells to Sung. Sung then puts his fingers into her mouth, Wendy bites him accidentally. He doesn’t feel pain, just a huge agony from his heart.
They run in another room, then puts her on the bed. Suddenly, Wendy opens her eyes, looking at Sung, in agony. “Why you are in such a pain? Did you eat something bad?” Sung asks with his heart collapsing. The maid brings her a spoon, she bites on it, shaking and crying quietly.
Something comes to Jun’s mind, he pushes Sung away then puts his hand to Wendy’s tummy. “Hey, what are you doing?!” Sung asks. “Freezing her acupuncture point! She can’t suffer the pain anymore! She will die!” Sung nods then freezes her fast, finally, Wendy calms down. This can help her preventing the pain like an hour.
“Don’t worry, Sung…” She can speak now. She feels much more released after the pain stops.
Sung hugs her tight, “What happened? Why you feel pain?” Wendy closes her eyes, considering for a reason, “Oh, I have kidney stones.” She can’t explain to Sung about this, it’s too complicated for him to understand.
