Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 164

The next day, all of the six princes and the princess including Ayana got up for breakfast. They wanted to start the trip to Coastal Land today, but it looks like the blizzard is still badly hitting outside. So they had to postpone their trip first. But this situation provides an opportunity and space for Jieun to now face them all and tell them for themselves what happened to her and what she has been hidden all this time.

Like last night, all of them sat in the living room only, the only difference was that Jieun was there with them. They wait patiently to hear what Jieun trying to convey to them.

“First, I want to say I’m sorry for not being honest from the beginning. Especially to those who from the beginning have been loyal to me,” This time Jieun looked towards Ayana.

Ayana just smiled at her.  Saying in silent that ‘it’s okay.’

“So this time, let me become the one who tells all of you what really happened.”

“Said what you want to say. No need to feel forced. We don’t mind and respect your decision.” Ray said there as the eldest.

Jieun smile thankfully to him because saying that and nodded there. But she knows, both she and Eun-Woo will face even more challenges now and they needed a lot of help to reach that one goal.

“My mother, Aera, was forced by her adoptive parent who is a scientist to test this magical stone like you all already have an idea what it is. She’s been injected with the blue stone who was turned into liquid that made her start living in the world of Dream Land. The previous king know about who she is and also thought that she is the one that the prophecy once said about someone special will come to this world. But he, kind enough to keep this secret from the knowledge of others and even gift her protection. ”

“I didn’t know that the previous king is someone like that.” Leo said there suddenly.

Ethan, who knows very well about the history also noted there.

“He is one of the most fierce King in this world. Guess he got some soft spot that we didn’t know about.”

Hearing about that make Jieun think, but King Liam words before she got married  to Eun-Woo start coming back.

“The previous king actually wanted to make my mother as his queen, but my mother refuses him.”

That took all of them off guard now so that some were gaping there.

“Despite being rejected, the king still cares about her and helps her in her journey in this world until she is married and pregnant with me.”

“Eun-Woo already tells us about that. Saying that because she is live here and the other world simultaneously makes you exist in this world as a shadow.” Ethan said there.

“We also know that someone from Elysium Land is your father, but actually your father is in the real world, isn’t he? Your mother just use that as an excuse when someone asks her.” Syaoran is also interested in speaking out now.

Jieun at the time lower her face then. She even grips her hand tightly, as she suddenly remembers her vision about her mother and an unknown man that she know very well is not her father Beom-Soo.

“That might not be the truth.” Jieun said there.

“What do you mean?” This time her own husband raises his curiosity.

Jieun never said anything about that before, so of course he is curious about that. Seeing Jieun seems to be trembling there, Lia, who sits close to her hold her shoulder and rub in there to help her calm.

“Are you okay?” She asked with worry look.

Jieun can only smile. She actually didn’t know what to feel now.

“I don’t know the truth, but I think, the person that I thought was my father all this time is not my real father.”

“Jieun…” Eun-Woo now finally knew what was playing in his wife’s mind was, starting to feel sympathy.

“I think the rumors saying that she got married to one of the people in the Elysium Land is not a rumor. Its the real truth. Remember about my vision that suddenly came and went? I see my mother with a man sitting together, spent their night together and its not the person that I know as a father. And I know my mother is not that kind of person who will get intimate with someone if that person has nothing to do with her. There is only one answer here. ”

“Do you see his face?” Haru asked now after a long silence.

Jieun shake her head.

“I hope I do. I know there must be an explanation behind what happened and I hope I can find out as long as I’m still here.”

“And we will help you here.” Ray said there in honesty.

Jieun get surprised there listening to him and then looking at Eun-Woo, who is now smiling at her. Really, she didn’t expect to get good friends like them all here. She really feels so thankful of that.

“Let me continue.” Jieun said and all of them giving her a nod.

“My mother lived happily until she gave birth to me. But one day, she witnessed something that she supposes not to. She saw King Liam kill his own father.”

“What?!” All of them except Eun-Woo, who already know about this said it together. They were really shocked by this news. At first when Jieun told him she didn’t say it was King Liam, but after some incidents Jieun finally told him honestly.

“It that true?” Haru asked there, still with a surprised face.

“How do you know about that?” Ray asked for sure.

“King Ralph is the one who telling me this himself.”

“What are you talking about Jieun? He is dead and he is the one who tell you?” Leo is now questioning.

“Remember the red stone that was always in the secret building that King Liam monitored? King Ralph’s soul is trapped inside the stone and I can talk to him.”

All now seems hard to believe that, but this is Jieun, and they trust Jieun more than anything.

“Trust me. If there is a chance, I will show you that I am not lying here.”

“It’s not like we didn’t believe you Jieun. This is just… too new for us.” Syaoran said there.

“Just keep going first.” Ethan eager to know more now.

“It’s all start because one night. Freya has a son who has the same trait as that Vollmond troupe. He needs blood to live, but Freya kept it a secret from the public. She brought him to Dream Land while she was on a political tour. That night her son is said to have killed King Liam’s son. The true heir. ”

“Prince Louis.” Ray said there. All of them already know that King Liam have an heir before, but the story of his dead never been mentioned.

Jieun nodded again there.

“They don’t know if Prince Louis was actually killed or accidentally killed, but Freya son is at the scene and King Liam swears to kill him when Freya makes a promise to bring Prince Louis back to life. That is the start why they work together and since then King Liam holds her son in custody as collateral for what she promised. No one know where he hold him.”

“Is that why King Liam wanted us to find all the stone? So that he can revive his son back?” Ethan realized that.

“I believe that is why. But the problem is one of the stone belongs to King Ralph and with Freya’s encouragement, Liam kills him to get the stone in force, but he realize that he can’t use it for himself as the stone choose its owner. That is why King Ralph soul is getting trapped inside the stone. ”

All of them are silent now thinking about the situation they are facing.

“King Ralph ask me for a favor. To not let King Liam or Freya make the wish as this world will fall into the darkness if they did that. The death can never be revived or there will be disaster coming as it changes the rule of nature. Also, he warned me about Freya. It seems that Freya is trying to stab King Liam from behind and wanted to make the wish herself but we didn’t know for what. ”

“Did Freya have anything to do with that Vollmond troupe?” Ethan asked with a red angry face. Jieun know he must feels so angry there, probably because he remembers Mia’s death now.

“We didn’t know about that yet. But it seems like King Liam has a doubt about that.” Jieun replied.

“So what should we do now? Do we still need to continue to collect all the twin stones or just pretend to look for them?” Haru asked there.

“King Ralph says that by gathering all the stone together is the easy way for us to keep this world at peace and we can make a wish to get back to our real world with that. Only that is the way to put an end of this. To save this world and ourselves. ” Jieun told them.

All of them have a mixed feeling now.  Living here for so long making them find it hard to get back but they know they want to get back.  This world is not for them since the very beginning.  But to Ray and Haru things is getting more difficult now.  Because of Lia and Ayana.

“I am feel sad if I remember that we will be separated but I aldo didn’t want this world fall into darkness. Knowing this and as the princes and princess of this world, we bear a lot of responsibilities. We need to save a lot of lives more than our own feelings. ” Lia looked at Ray there. Each had a sad face there.

“Just tell me what I can do for you. I will help you as much as possible.” Lia said.

“Me too. I may not be able to help much, but what Lia said is true. We need to be together on this.” Ayana also spoke there.

“Thank you..” All Jieun can say is that.
