Trapped In Hisstory - Chapter 188

That was definitely the Royal Concubine inside the glasshouse. He could still remember the picture of the royal family in his head, seeing it every time he goes inside his room.

Confusion was plastered all over his place, and so was his lover whose eyes were wandering around the place. Now it piqued their curiosity as to why there was a place hidden near the palace.

Chance turned to Alec who was silently standing behind them since the moment they entered through the door. “Since when was this glasshouse hidden?” he asked.

There was a short silence before he answered, “It has been a few years since this place was built, Your Highness.” he responded. “Ever since the Royal Concubine collapsed.”

Chance slowly nodded and stared at the glasshouse. He wondered if the real Charles knew about this place. Alec, who knew about his loss of memory noticed his curiosity from the expression on his face, “Your Highness never came here because you did not want to cross paths with the Second Prince. You did not want to see him and his mother before.”

Chance’s eyes slightly widened in surprise. It was Charles who did not want to see them, not Clayton who was mad at him. He always wondered why the two got into a fight. Seeing how Clayton cried, Chance could tell that Charles really abandoned him, ‘But for what reason?’ he thought.

How could such a great relationship turn into chaos just like that?

Caliber’s brows furrowed, he wondered why the Commander was speaking as if Charles himself does not know his own reason for not meeting the Second Prince and his mother.

“Should we go to the glasshouse?” Caliber asked. He noticed the Crown Prince kept staring as if he wanted to approach the lady inside.

Chance looked at him and nodded with a smile.

Before they could walk to the glasshouse, Alec held his master’s arm, “Are you sure you want to go there?” he asked with a serious expression. “You never wanted to go here before.”

“That was before.” Chance replied immediately. “Whatever reason it was, I do not remember anyway. I lost my memories, now it is time for me to get it back.”

He returned his gaze in front of him but his eyes caught sight of Caliber’s face in surprise. He remembered he never told him the excuse of him losing his memories. “I-”

“You lost your memories?” Caliber asked.

“…Yes.” Chance responded, almost whispering.

“So that night of my brother’s crowning-”

“That was the first time I met you, I do not remember anything before it.”

The Canopus Prince felt his heart was being squeezed. He realized that the Crown Prince does not remember anything about him since that day. “You never told me anything…”

Chance could hear the pain in his voice but there was no explanation for it. Chance did not want to add another lie, “I apologize, I should have told you.”

Caliber grinned and laughed, which surprised Chance. He thought he would be angry for a little longer but everything looked fine and Caliber had an unbothered look on his face. “You do not have to feel bad, it must have been difficult for you all this time.”

The Canopus slowly slid his hand into Chance’s and gripped it tight. Chance smiled, how could he deserve such a man? He must be the luckiest to have him as his lover.

Caliber’s sadness just passed through and gone in an instance. He should not be mad nor disappointed that Charles did not tell him anything. Charles lost his memories, but even so, look at where they are now. Despite not remembering who he was, Charles still fell in love with him.

The mind might have forgotten, but the heart will always remember.

‘If he lost his memories,’ Caliber thought. ‘I will make new ones with him.’

The two stared at each other before continuing to walk together towards the glasshouse. Alec looked at them from afar and wore a slight smile. He followed them from behind, as he always does.

Chance looked up when they were near the glasshouse, it was a large circular glasshouse, there were no other floors, just ground. It looked like it was made for one person whose only purpose was to lie down or look around for a short moment.

Alec said it existed for years, but Chance cannot believe that someone would live their life stuck in here. The place was peaceful and the environment was pleasing to look at. But even so, to live here for years was kind of suffocating.

There was nothing to do other than just sleep or admire the plants and flowers. As he approached nearer, he finally saw the Royal Concubine, Clayton’s mother up close. She was lying down in the wide bed, with her hands placed in front of her. There was also an oxygen cylinder by the side of the bed in which she breathed in. “Is she sick?” he muttered under his breath.

Alec went to open the door for the two princes and they all went in. The Royal Concubine in the portrait was truly beautiful, it was obvious where Clayton got his beautiful looks. But the one lying on the bed was thin and weak. Chance became even more curious as to what happened to Clayton’s mother.

‘Is…is it really related to Charles? Is it his fault?’ he thought and his hand covered his mouth.

Even Alec did not expect the Royal Concubine to look like this. All he knew was that the woman lived here and there were servants taking care of her. Clayton would also often visit to check on his mother, ‘Does His Highness know about this?’ he thought.

While Chance was looking around, his eyes met a little girl’s gaze outside the glasshouse. He stared at her and his eyes widened when he recognized who the little girl was.

He immediately tapped his knight and pointed in the direction where the girl they were looking for was. “Teri! It is Teri, get her!”

Alec ran outside the glasshouse to chase the little girl who immediately left the moment she was spotted. The little girl went outside through the wooden door and the knight followed her. They have been working hard to find her for days, he must get her now.

The two princes were left alone inside the glasshouse. Chance let out a sigh and sat down on the bed beside the concubine. Caliber caressed his back to comfort him, “It will be fine, your knight will catch her.”

“I do hope so.”

Chance gazed down at the thin lady, “What happened to you, Melanie?” he whispered.

The two suddenly felt a presence and they saw the door move from afar. Alec and the little girl just left so it is impossible for it to be them. Chance pulled Caliber and they went behind the headboard of the bed to hide, knowing that someone was approaching the glasshouse.

They heard the door of the glasshouse open along with the sound of footsteps approaching the bed. ‘Is it Clayton? Did he come to visit his mother?’ Chance thought.

Caliber looked at Chance and Chance slowly tried to peek at the side to look at who it was.

“M-Milla’s mother?”
