He breaks into Wendy’s room, no ones there, all dark… with barely a sound. It’s too early so the servants are in deep sleep. He yells towards outside, “Anyone come!” Very soon, all his people show up with sleepy eyes and messy hair. He wakes everyone up, even Zoe. “Brother, what’s going on?? Why so early?.”
“Where is Wendy? Did she come back?” Sung grabs her and asks like his life depends on Wendy.
“No, she is not here. I was sleeping…”
Sung sighs and searches everywhere in his palace by himself, except Rain’s room. When he passes her place, he hears someone’s talking, he decides to check, his heart is beating fast, from her window, he could see some figures inside. He walks towards her door slowly, then pushes it open! He sighs, no Wendy at all, all his imaginary. Rain and her two maids talking inside, “Your majesty, why so early today?” Rain seems very happy to see him.
“Is someone here before I came??”
“No, no ones here. Why??” Reading the doubt on her face, Sung sighs, sitting near the old-fashioned square table, looking sad, “Nothing, just checking…” He stands up and ready to leave.
“Wait! Majesty, I want to ask you something.” Rain sits nearby and remarks.
“Next time then, I’m tired…” Sung ignores her, no mood at all.
“Did we meet before??” Rain sends him out and asks behind.
“No, I didn’t.” Sung answers no looking back.
“Oh, I just, there are some pictures in my mind, like we are hiking and passing through the water. Then I fell…” She catches Sung’s attention at once. “Wait, what else did you remember??”
“There are some… it’s fine, we can talk later, you look very tired. Take some rest, majesty.”
Sung sits back fast, grabbing her, he doesn’t seem tired at all right at the moment. “I’m fine, tell me, what else? Have you hurt yourself before??”
“How you know I hurt myself? Well, I fell into the water and I thought I would die, then my brother saved me. My mom said I was lucky to survive!”
“And when does it happened??”
“The day before our marriage…”
Sung feels tense, Wendy was missing from that day, the time seems to coincide, perhaps she is Wendy’s new body?? But if she is, then why she can’t remember anything else?? “Do you remember you were poisoned before??”
“Yes, Lacey made it.” She splits it out fast without thinking, then she stunned, she doesn’t know who’s Lacey here… Her answer scares herself and Sung. Lacey used to poison Wendy before, due to jealousy. Then Sung and Zhuge figured it’s out and decided to put her in jail but Wendy helped her. That’s why Lacey still stays alone in this palace. How Rain knows this, she doesn’t even see Lacey before?! Sung has made her mind, that she is Wendy! During that moment, he thinks of the mage, maybe he can help him to make it clarity. He is from Uncle Jun, so he is standing on his side.
