28 REINCARNATED

Living a Ghost Life

Several years after the death of the 'Prince', I was lost for a while. I stayed inside my 'residence' for a few years since I didn't know what should I do with my 'life'.

Living a life as ghost is already sad and being alone downgrades me into being a pathetic ghost. No one to talk to or pretending to talk to like what I did with the 'Prince' or read the scrolls and books with him.

I couldn't touch things so whenever the 'Prince' read a book I was overjoyed because I could read with him but after he left, I had no one to share my 'hobby' with and the books they read were simply not interesting.

I guessed the 'Prince' had inherited my great taste in books and it's the only 'hobby' that I could 'participate' as a ghost.

I couldn't taste the tea when there's a tea lesson, I couldn't stand to watch the Palace Maids in the embroidery classes. Who could stand to watch people embroidered a flower for an hour?

There are many things I couldn't participate and then I was swallowed by sadness and anger, I didn't even noticed I was staying in the residence for years!

When I first walked out from the residence, I heard some Palace Maids talked to each other and said that the residence is haunted and sometimes they heard a woman wailed from the building. They said it might camefrom the person who used to stay there and she had become a ghost and have unfinished business so couldn't get to the other side.

It felt scary when I heard them shared their paranormal experiences but later I realised they were talking about me.

I felt sad so I went inside the chamber again. I made a scary noises at night to revenge.

'How dare you talk about your late Queen like that?' What, a ghost? Unfinished business? Ceh!'

But then, everything they said was the truth that I couldn't accept. I didn't know why and when I died, why my child called me a betrayer, why the 'King' died a year after me, and why there's a blood on my clothes in my 'residence'.

I thought my unfinished business was only because I'd wanted to see the 'King' thus I didn't get reincarnated but then I realised, there's more to my death than I thought.

There's a story to be told, a secret to be revealed.
