Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 168

Melanie, who is still working even though the day has passed into the night in the secret lab, watches Jieun who is still sleeping there in bed.

After performing various painful backs to back tests, Jieun continued to faint and was completely unconscious until now. The sound of her breathing, which was quite loud there made Melanie look at the girl. It seems like she is in her deep sleep now which making Melanie felt quite relieved at the time.

Seeing her makes Melanie remember about Eun-Woo and keep walking out of the room to the other one to see his condition.

After what happens in their house, Eun-Woo is brought here because the police are always coming in and out of the house to investigate. Even though the case is already over, Byung-Hun and Ji-Na agree to just let Eun-Woo here at Melanie’s request. But everyday, both of them would come to visit Eun-Woo in the morning with Jieun.

Seeing that everything is okay, Melanie thought for a moment while looking at Eun-Woo.

“Will both of you going to be alright in the end?” She started questioning there.

Melanie is actually always worrying about them. She doesn’t care what happens to her in the end, but Eun-Woo and Jieun must be safe. No, all of them trapped there must be rescued.

Even though she has done careful planning for a long time, she still has doubts here and there. No matter how perfect the plan she has built, she realize that there is still a room for an error.

“Eun-Woo… Promise me that you will protect each other, okay?” Melanie asks the sleeping Eun-Woo even though he can’t say anything back to her.

“It’s not far away now. After you got the stone in the Coastal Land and Elysium Land. We just need that one more. Either from our enemy or not… I can feel that it’s not long for us to do the last match. The day that I will be separated from Liam, the day that all of you will come back here will finally arrive. Please wait for a little more. I promise I will bring all of you back. ”

With one final glance, Melanie then exits the room and then goes to another rather hidden lab. Where they put Lia in.

After checking everything and make sure nothing is wrong with her just like what she done to Eun-Woo. Melanie can’t help but also stare at this girl.

“But… what destiny do you hold? What key do you have… Princess Lia?”

Meanwhile in the other world,

:: Coastal Land::

“Ahcoo!”

Lia sneezed a few times there as soon as they all arrived at the gate to enter the Coastal Land.

“Aaa … Who is talking about me ?!” She said that while pressing her still itchy nose.

“Do you feel like you want to catch cold?” Ray ask there in concern.

“What?! How can it be possible? She can endure snowstorm like it was nothing but she can’t stand the cold weather from the sea?” Haru started making a fuss there.

Lia sent her a warning look to the man. Throughout the journey, the man always wants to say or doing something even though no one is serving him.  Sometimes it makes her feel miserable just watching him like that.

“It’s not that. Its just a normal type of sneeze.” Lia still answers Ray’s question even if she is getting annoyed by Haru because she doesn’t want Ray to worry about her. Haru just feel frustrated with himself after realizing that he is being ignored again like usual.

All of them could only look at Haru while shaking their heads. They didn’t even what makes him left with so much energy like this.  He can’t keep silent at all!

“Enough Haru. We need to work now.” Syaoran who doesn’t always say anything reprimands Haru there, making the others stunned now. Looks like a patient person like Syaoran also can’t stand it anymore.

Hearing that from Syaoran, Haru can just pouting. He knows if someone who is not always saying anything but suddenly said something, it just means that he is in danger mode. So Haru, didn’t want to want to make further trouble just decide to behave.

“What are we going to do next?” Leo asks Ray now.

As usual, Ray is their leader every time on a journey.

“Are all of you too tired now?” He asked.

“We can manage. What’s on your mind?” Ethan answered there after seeing everyone shake their heads.

“I think it’s better we stroll around the city and this area before we continue to the castle. What do you all think?”

“To hear what people talking in the town?” Eun-Woo asks that.

Ray nodded.

“We probably will get more clues or something before we heard from the king himself.”

“Sound like a good idea as sometime we need to hear something outside the wall as usually its not being filter.” Syaoran said there.

“Where you cloak, cover yourself well. Don’t let someone recognize us if possible.” Ray kept directing there.

After they get ready, they walk again past the gate. They showed their royal insignia and had a talk with the gatekeeper to let their arrival to keep in silence as they will tell King Mizuto themselves and after getting approval, they resume their walking again.

They are now walking on the steep cliffs of the high sea. From there they could see the sea water crashing against the hill wall so hard. Although the scenery there is beautiful and enchanting, they also cannot escape feeling the fear.

Coastal Land is land that is above the sea. Like a big one island there. It’s round in shape and around it, there are several small islands that are also within the jurisdiction of the King of the Coastal Land.

To go there, after they enter the main gate, they now have to go through the lengthy glass bridge which is the only one in the world. This bridge is a bridge that will take them directly into the city.

As this bridge is made by glass they can clearly see how violent the waves were then below along with the sharp sea rocks here and there. Very awesome yet scary at the same time.

Jieun, once on the bridge continue to hold Eun-Woo’s hand there for support. She didn’t care anymore even if they weren’t alone at this point as she still got trauma in the past regarding the bridge. Although this bridge is more solid and secure she can’t help to feel nervous.

Eun-Woo, who knew Jieun’s feelings at that time happily grabbed her hand back, returning the gesture in much more force. He didn’t mind this at all, even though they were in public. He just mind if Jieun doesn’t like it, but as she did that first, he just followed.

Lia, who also remembered what happened a while ago to Jieun because of her prank looked at the couple while smiling. Well, at least they become happy now.  She just decide on that.

Soon they all reached the center of the city which was so busy at that time because it was already noon. All of them just decide to move closer to each other.

The people there completely ignore them because they always receive guests from various places. Obviously, even when they are covered and only show their faces there, the people, especially the shopkeepers, are always friendly to serve them every time they stop.

Until Jieun found a shop selling medical items and invited others to enter. She loves to see other places medical traditional remedy also the modern one every time traveling now to give her knowledge that she might not find in the textbook. All of them agreed to follow.

While Jieun was looking and choosing items that interest to her, they heard the owner of the place talking to her assistant there.

“Did your family already heard about your father?”

“Not yet, grandma. We’re just waiting for the palace that’s still looking to tell us the rest.” The young girl there said there.

The grandma sighs, sympathizing with the girl’s fate as after her father disappeared at sea, the young girl begging her to take her as a shop assistant as she wanted to help her mother who is now struggling to work due to the loss of her husband. Other places don’t want to accept her because she’s still young, but on humanitarian grounds she takes her in.

“Don’t worry. I’m sure our king will do something about that. He always does.”

The young girl nodded there while smiling, trying to cover the sadness in her heart at that time.

“Usually people who lost in the sea at least will give us some clue behind. Like their ship being left, or broken, but the whole thing is just disappearing. Even other ships that are nearby also said to see the ship that your father brought suddenly disappear without sinking like a magic. What do you think happened? ” The grandma said.

“Shh!” The young girl warns the grandma in silence while looking to Jieun and the other who are still there. As their King has already asked them not to spread this matter, they need to be careful with their words. But an old woman like this grandma sometime forgotten about that.

Feel sympathy with the fate of the young girl, Jieun continue to take more stuff, more than what is needed as she knows the old woman will pay the young girl more if she got a lot of profit. So she got a mountain of herbs, this and that, making even the others who accompany her shocked by that.

“I’ll buy all this!” Jieun said it in full determination.    Which she didn’t have to.
