“How come?” Says Sung who stares at her anxiously. Wendy shakes her head, closing her eyes, resting. During this moment, Sung kneels to Uncle Jun all of a sudden. “Uncle, I want to beg you one thing, only you could do it for me.” Jun gets shocked helps him up, “Sung, don’t say “beg” please. What’s up?” Wendy watches them on the bed.
“Uncle, my father will come after he hears about Wendy, could you help us to stop him for a while, she needs me!” Sung begs. Jun seems uneasy, that’s a big task to do. Wendy reads his confusion and calls him over, “Jun, come here, I tell you what to do…” Jun comes closer to the bed. “You go find him then pretends you have a headache… got it?”
“Oh, you mean…” Jun understands something then nods.
“Right! You have a mission for him, if something happens to you, he won’t feel safe. You can trap him as much as you want, with the help from Mage.”
Jun nods with impressive, then heads out. The doctor from the royal palace arrives after he left. “Doctor, I’m fine now, thanks for coming. I just got kidney stone a long time ago, it happened when I ate too much tofu or over-drank tea. You just need to give me some Lysimachia to drain, that will be all.”
The doctor nods but furrows, “Well, I understand, Doctor Wengela. But the palace sent me here to help you, so how about let me check you a bit just in case.” Wendy shakes her head, watches him with thoughtful, “I know doctor, but I’m really fine right now. Just report the King my condition is getting better, that will be fine, doctor.” Seeing the confusion on his face, Wendy closes her eyes, continues, “I am a Doctor too, don’t worry about me please.”
The doctor sighs and walks away.
“Why you refused his checking?” Sung asks. Wendy smiles at him then moves his hands to her chest, “Wait, what?! Why you don’t have heartbeats?!” He shocks totally. Wendy rubs his hands, comforting, “That’s fine, I made that. My master gave me a pill for treating myself when I felt really bad one day, it would bring pain for a few hours then I would be fine. It’s hard to explain to you, you may think this is a kind of protection for myself.”
“A protection?” Sung frowns.
“Well, that’s what my master told me so. Probably I would run faster than anyone else later, hah!” She teases him back. Indeed, it’s very complicated to explain what kind of power from that pill, she doesn’t even know either. “Then why you didn’t take it before? The time you passed out?” He continues asking. Wendy grins, “Silly, I don’t like the pain as you have seen it already…”
Sung touches her face gently, apologizes, “It’s all my fault, I should protect you well… Forgive me Wendy.”
“Stop, we are a couple, no need to apologize.” Wendy rubs his hands, gazing at him with her watery eyes. After those upcoming troubles recently, they seem to understand each other better… They cuddle and kissing each other in their room while no one watches. Sung has managed the people well here who come from the Queen, who stands on the Queen’s side.
On Juan’s side, he walks to the King’s with his mission from Wendy, he takes a deep breathes walking into the library. “My dear King, Prince Jun is here!” Dan reports to the King who’s reading the statements. He frowns, “What’s he doing here?” Dan thinks for a while, “He didn’t mention it, seemed like something good happened from his delight expression.” Dan is very bright, he didn’t even mention Wengela’s disease to the King.
“Bring him in then.” The King considers for a moment and orders.
Sooner than later, Prince Jun walks in and greets him, “My dear King, I…” He holds his head unexpectedly, pretending his dramatic headache in front of him. “Ahhh…” The King gets frightened for sure, yelling towards Dan, “Hey, bring Prince Jun to sit!” Dan puts Jun to a chair, “Prince Jun, are you alright? What happened?”
Jun is a good actor. Watching his tortured face, some drops of fake blood he made run out of his mouth, “Brother, I don’t know. My head is like exploding out!” His bleeding scares the King, “Go bring the Mage here!” Dan pauses for a moment, “My King, are we suppose to get the doctor here??”
“No, got the Mage I said! NOW!” The King yells out loud. Dan nods and runs out.
“Brother, how do you feel? Getting better?”
“No, my head, god, so painful…” Jun keeps acting, making the King really nervous. He thinks his calamity is coming perhaps! He feels the same headache as well because of his extension, he sits next to Jun, holding his head. “Brother, it’s fine, I will be better.” Jun comforts him but laughs inside, while the King cocks his head. Soon, the Mage comes and welcomes the King. “My dear King…”
“No need, go check Prince Jun now!” Replies the King in a hurry. The mage comes closer to Jun, sneering at him. “So do you know some Chinese medical, too??” Jun teases.
“A little, my dear Prince.”
He grabs Jun’s arm, turning and checking.
“Ahhh!” Jun screams out. “Be careful, hey!” He then falls to the ground.
The mage sees this and walks back to the King, staring at him, “My King, we must send him to rest right away! You must stay near him!” The King nods constantly. Dan walks up, interrupts them, “My King, the Doctor just reported Doctor Wengela got sick…”
He can’t think about Wengela at the point, “Go ask a doctor to treat her!” He says with uncaring. Dan continues, “It’s fine, my King, the doctor said she’s fine now, just needed some rest.” The King replies impatiently, “Then leave, no need to report me everything, my god!” Dan grins and steps back.
The King carries Jun up on his shoulder and brings him to the bed. The mage follows behind, “My King, please remember, you will have some small calamities before the big one, so you must stay with Prince Jun in the next twelve hours! Otherwise, you would suffer a lot.”
The King furrows, “But I need to join the routine tomorrow morning! How could I…”
“My King, this one is more important as you know. I will try my best to help you out of this trouble. Please await me patiently here with Prince Jun. Remember, don’t leave him! If you really can’t join the morning routine, you may say the Queen and Prince Jun get sick and you must stay near them. I’m sure your people will praise you for your kindness.” His words make the King feel better.
About Wendy, they are still indulging in their short moment of happiness.
“Hey, how do you know Jun would make my father stay?” Sung remarks, Wendy explains everything to him but the mage part. “Then I guess nothing is important for my father but the position… even his dearest brother. What a shame.” He sighs after he hears Wendy’s story with Jun. “Jun doesn’t need to come here if he knows the reason, why he…”
Wendy sighs, “He had no choice, Sung. Your father is a complicated one, he is the one who tries to poison him, while saves him at the same time. But Jun is not weak as you think, he is tough. He has courage to fight back for his rest of life. That’s why he’s back.” Sung shocks, “What? My father tries to poison Uncle Jun? Really?”
Wendy nods, “The poison he gave to Jun was called “Longevity”, people who get it must take the antidote every once a year! Or they will suffer with sharp bowel then die… I tried to help him while I was in City Edina that’s how we knew each other. He can’t drink strong alcohol or do expense exercise either. Poor man.”
Sung astonishes, “Such a GOOD father…”
“He did, Sung… He cares about you and Zack at least.”
“Wendy, come on, no need to stand for him…”
