Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 111

After what happened in the forbidden secret room earlier between her and the red stone, Jieun began to feel restless when she thought too much about it.

She didn’t think too much about it this afternoon because she was too engaged with many things, but now at night, she started thinking about it all over again. Especially about the last wish.

At that moment, Eun-Woo enters the bedroom and sees Jieun still daydreaming in front of the window. Before, when he went out earlier, his wife was also in that kind of state. Then, he knows something must be bothering her.

With that he approached her from the back and hugging her tightly from behind.

“Huh.” Jieun gasp there in surprise as she are not realizing Eun-Woo was there with her.  She hit the hand of the man who was hugging her playfully.  Pretend to be angry.

“You’re shocking me.”

Eun-Woo just smiling there while sniffing his wife good smell. Something about that makes him feel calm.

“You are being distract by something. What’s wrong?” He asked. Wanted to know.

Jieun instantly remembering her promise with the red stone or should she said, the previous King. She should talk to Eun-Woo about that right? But she didn’t feel sure to told him about the sacrifice part. That, she decided to hold.

Close the window of the room with a curtain. Jieun then slowly push Eun-Woo’s body. To release herself.  Then, she holds his hand, dragging him with her to their bed. As soon as they sat on the bed, Jieun began to open her mouth again.

“I want to tell you about something, but you must promise me that you won’t say these things to other people yet. Until it’s the right time. As I have already promised someone the same.”

Eun-Woo frowned slightly there. He never thought that something that’s bothering Jieun is actually something that is so serious. But looking at her face now he know the matter wasn’t so simple.

Didn’t need to think deeper as he already put his full faith in Jieun since the day they become a husband and wife, he continued to agree with the term.

“I promise.”

Smiling thankfully, Jieun grab Eun-Woo’s hand again. Hold it right there before continuing her storytelling.

“Remember the first time we met in this palace. When you caught me in your closet?”

How could Eun-Woo forgets that. He never forgot about that historic day in the slightest. The day he met his princess.

“I never forget about that.”

“As you know, at that time I ran away from the guard because I was in that forbidden area.”

“And I never got an answer for that.” Eun-Woo just noticed that he no longer  asked Jieun the reason why she was there.

“Actually, I, at the time also felt confused. But as the things happening again to me today. I want you also to know about this.”

Eun-Woo just kept himself silent. Giving her room to tell.

“Today, when I was about to come back here to rest, all of a sudden my body felt like it was being controlled by someone. And that time, I remember, the same things happening to me the first time I was here.”

Even though Eun-Woo look shock he still concentrates to her story, so, Jieun continued,

“Then, my mind and eyes stated to feel blur while my legs walked without me controlling it. Once I wake up from that state, I found that I stood in front of the forbidden room. The first time I was there, there was a red light coming out of the keyhole of the door.  When I watched from the hole,  I saw the stone floating and said my name, Lee Jieun, and he asked me to run. Apparently the guard had approached the area. ”

“He you mean?”

“Today, while I was in the area, I went inside the room that was unlocked. After that, the red stone, once again floated and started talking to me. He said he is the previous King soul, trapping inside the power stone that been keeping there all this time.”

Eun-Woo clearly was so shocked niw. He never thought that was the story behind the red stone that had been in the secret room since forever.

“So, he is the real owner to the red stone.”

Jieun nodded confirming.

“Someone kills him to get the power, but the power cannot be used by the force. The stone need to choose their own owner and that is why the previous king soul is still trapped there.”

Eun-Woo knows the other story. King Liam is the one who found his father’s body. He said there was a fight between the previous King, King Ralph and the palace guard. The palace guard was sentenced to death without trial. When being investigated, the palace guard was an orphan, no direct family member was able to raise any suspicious towards the charge and he died alone.

“King Liam kill him didn’t he?” Eun-Woo asks Jieun.

“That’s what he is saying.”  Jieun still feel some chill when talking about that.

“No wonder he didn’t want a lot of people know about this as this information will endanger a lot of people if it went out. Let just kept to ourselves for this time being.”  Eun-Woo give suggestion.

“Not only that, he also said that he knows how to get us out of here. Out of this world.”

Eun-Woo’s eyes widened there. He’s holding Jieun hand rather strong now. Jieun at the time stunned instantly. She never knew that Eun-Woo would be so excited.  It turned out that he really wanted his normal life back.

“What… What about it?” Eun-Woo sound rush.

Seeing that, Jieun know she need to keeping half of the story.

“He said, the reason why King Liam with Freya’s helps, wants to collect all these magical stones is because when all the stones are collected, the ceremony can be held.  It’s called the last ceremony, which whoever makes a wish at the time will come true. No matter what the wish is. ”

“And if we make a wish to get back that’s means we can go back?”

Eun-Woo is really looks quite happy there. Seeing him like that making Jieun also feeling happy. She never saw him like this.

“But, we need to make the wish before King Liam or Freya does. He told me that, if the wish been made by any of them, this world will be left in darkness, so we need to stop them.”

Eun-Woo nodded.  He seem to understand about that quite well.

“Let’s just think about that later. First, we need to find all of the stone first before anything.” Eun-Woo is controlling his eager feeling now.  Trying to be calm again.

“Other things that I want to discuss is, I have actually already made a research in the real world and find out about the other princes. Do you know that they also don’t belong in here?” Jieun asking carefully. As she didn’t know how that man going to react to that.

Eun-Woo was silent for a moment.

“All of us know about that. We used to talk together about how we are going to get back in secret as the King and other people cannot know about that. But as the time flies all of us seems to accept the life in here so we never talk about that again. Even about you, I didn’t tell them. ”

Do understand that, Jieun feel sad for them. It must be difficult seeing all the time flies, hoping for a miracle, but not knowing what to do.

“One day. I want to confront them all and told them everything. Because I know, we need aid in this journey. Sooner or later.” Jieun told him her decision.

And Eun-Woo cannot agree more. He then touched his wife’s cheek full of tenderness. His gaze became soft.

“You’re… really like the prophecy said as a special someone that will come here to bring light to this world. And I am feeling thankful that you’re coming into my life.  Since you’re being here, a lot of things happen.  A good thing especially.”

“I.. didn’t know about that…” Jieun said a bit embarrassed there. It’s still too much to say she’s the person mentioned in that prophecy.  She also still feel doubtful about that.

Eun-Woo shook his head there, then pulled his wife into a hug.

“No.  I’m sure it is you. I got the feeling that you are the person being talked about. With that, I promise that I will protect you with my life.  Whatever happen.” Eun-Woo said in determination as he knows, if people know who Jieun really is, her life will get into danger.  Seeing Freya always wanted to get close to her, making his  instincts strongly say that Jieun is the person they have been waiting for all this time.

Still feeling restless, especially about something that she didnt know will be coming.  She try to be positive.  ‘We will figure it out.’  She said in her mind all over again.

“I promise that I will protect you too….” Jieun said that while hugging him back.
