Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 134

Jieun waiting patiently at Queen Anna’s room there. The biscuits she had brought were nicely placed on the table, even though she was feeling uneasy at the time. She even rubbed both her hands not because of cold, but to persuade herself. Not even a drop of tears came out of her eyes at that time.

Not long after she waited, Queen Anna entered the courtyard of the room. Jieun  standing acknowledge of the Queen arrival while looking at the Queen with her cloudy face.

Anna took something from a table near the entrance to the room and started blowing it in every corner. As soon as she finishes doing so, she explains to Jieun even though the girl didn’t ask her.

“This is so that no one can hear what we’re talking about here. So, you don’t have to hold back in whatever you wanted to ask me or anything.”

Jieun nodded in understanding. She still remembers to be polite, even in this situation.

Anna then makes a tea that she knows it was Jieun’s favorite quickly there, and continues to be placed in front of the girl. She then sat facing Jieun who now also sat down again at the chair.

“I… actually wanted to find you there to give you this.” Jieun said slowly as her eyes glanced at the biscuits on the table.

“I didn’t expect to hear anything like that.” Jieun start looking right at the Queen there. Like really hoping that she can tell her something.

Anna knew very well what was now going on in the girl’s mind. Jieun is already anticipating the matter, but when she really knows about it, she finds it hard to accept.

“I’m sorry because I should have met you and talked to you like this after you met the previous king before, but too many things happened and I had to deal witha lot of things. And now, you know the story like this. You must be shocked.”

“Did you know about it from long ago?”Jieun want to know.

“I married to the King to take revenge on him and also to protect someone. Of course I know the bad deed that he already did in his life.  All that happen before we got married.” Anna told while looking at Jieun in a very deep look that only she know why.

Jieun feel surprised then, but remember back that the red stone or she should say, the previous king soul that trap in that already said to her that she can trust the Queen. So here’s why. But how can she live with someone that so cruel like that?

“What’s actually happening? I feel so confused here.” Jieun really hope that Queen Anna can explain to her what really happened a while ago.

“It started when Freya came to this palace for the first time in a matter between two countries. She brought her son along who was a different kind of person.”

“Different kind? What do you mean?” Jieun cannot understand that

“Witches have a curse from the devil since time immemorial that no one in the community has managed to get rid of. Every full moon they are forbidden to have sex between couples because it will give birth to a very powerful child, but the child can’t live without fresh blood. No matter where they will get it, from animals or humans. Make them very dangerous. So when the witch is found out to be pregnant they will be forced to have an abortion or whoever succeeds in giving birth, the child will still be killed. ”

Jieun make an instant gap in there. She never thought something similar yet different like ‘vampire’ also exist in this world.  Also that it sound so cruel.

Anna continued her story when she saw Jieun as if she didn’t want to ask anything at that time.

“But there are also couples who manage to hide their pregnancy and birth like Freya. But, her secret is open when she brings her child here.”

“Something horrible must happen, right?” Jieun possible to guess that.

“Liam and his first wife have a son, Prince Louis who is supposed to be a king one day. Freya’s son, Drake, who was walking alone in the palace grounds at the time is said to have attacked Louis but no one really sees what really happened then.  Theres no witness.  Liam, found Louis lifeless body covered in blood and beside the body there was Drake which was full of blood on his hands and mouth at that time. Liam without a motion to examine the case further continued want to kill Drake there because Louis is the only memory his wife left for him.  But Freya come and beg him not to kill her son at the time and told Liam all about the magical stone and promise him that she can revive Louis back after the last ceremony being performed. ”

“So that is why King Liam is a bit obsessed about finding this stone. ” Jieun murmur to herself there but can still be heard by the queen.

“Right. But the problem is one of the stone belongs to his own father and with Freya’s encouragement, Liam kills him to get the stone in force but he can’t use it for himself. It’s a relief as if he can use it for himself, I bet all of the six prince will no longer breathing now. ”

Jieun let out a sigh of relief now that she didnt know she is holding while listening about the story.

“Coincidentally, Aera, your mother saw the incident and was known to Freya, but at the time Liam was just ignoring the fact that she knew about this. Your mother managed to run to Hilleo Village and stayed there for a few weeks and asked for their help there, especially Elder Susan to hide you from the courtiers. One night Liam went to Hilleo village and killed her there. ” Anna voice crack a little. She couldn’t imagine how Aera felt then.

“And after I got married to Liam, I found out that the murder was also manipulated by Freya as well, originally.”

“Knowing his suffering, and why he does this, are you still wanted to take revenge on him?” Jieun ask Anna there seriously . Want to know what the Queen is thinking right now.

“What about you? What do you feel about all this? For me, what he did is still wrong. He is a sinner to many people just because of his love for his wife and his son. He let himself be used by Freya and I can’t accept that.  But to tell you the truth, my revenge has long been buried. I still feel hurt by what he did and sometimes feel unable to forgive him when I remember about that. But my goal is to correct everything for him. Make things right. Either of them, cannot make the last wish. “Anna speaks in firm there while her eyes seem to blur with tears and Jieun also the same.

“You love him didn’t you?” Jieun dare to ask.

“My hatred is bigger than that. Also, he never looked at me like his first wife. I’m just a replacement.” Anna tries to deny her real feeling but Jieun know better than that. She could see that Queen Anna was really hurt quite deep in her heart there.

“I promise that I will protect you no matter what.  With my life.  But I need you to be strong from now own. Until all of the stone is reunite, until the final wish can be perform. Please, acting like you didn’t know any of this in front of other people, especially Freya and Liam. You can tell Eun-Woo if you wanted but he also must keep his words. ” Anna asked there while holding Jieun’s hand.

Without a sound Jieun make a weak nod. She knows she needs to do that or all of them will be in danger.

“Thank you.”

After finishing her talk with Queen Anna, Jieun moves back into her residence like a zombie. Her move is too lazy, her face didn’t wear any feeling until she entered the yard of her house.

Lia and Ayana, who were still doing activities there looked right at Jieun who entered and without looking at them continued to walk into her bedroom. Lia senses something is wrong then and continues to say to Ayana, who is now a little worried after seeing Jieun.

“Aya, let’s go walk together outside okay?” Lia invites and Ayana agrees there. But of course they got out after Lia decided to just put a make up on her bruise so that it will not be visible in anyone’s view.

Both of the girls walked together around the palace and Lia saw all the six princes gathered in the rest area in one corner of the palace as if discussing something.

She got to see Ethan there who looked better than the day before even though he didn’t seem to be very active. She was relieved. Apparently he tries to make a change and that should be okay. Slowly Lia walked towards the six princes while Ayana, who was a little less comfortable with the situation had to also follow the princess now.

“Oh, hi Lia.” Haru was the first to talk to her.

Lia just smiled at him and completely ignored Ray or Syaoran who also looked at her. Her goal is only one at the time, Eun-Woo.

Lia finally stood in front of the man and started saying,

“Eun-Woo, you should go and see Jieun right now.”

Eun-Woo looked at Lia’s very serious face for a moment and without saying anything he just left all those who were there.

“What’s wrong?” Leo asked after seeing the interaction.

Lia just shrugs.

“What are you guys doing?”
