Later she talks about her old world how much different from this world and her old world, how she was sent here one day without any clue why or who was sent her here. Lory describes the skyscraper, car, and aircraft in her world she talked about how beautiful her Kingdom and how good and kind her people were, basically she tell the story before the age of the war's end.
They both lay on the couch, Zhao Li Xin props his head with his right fist while his other hand played with her hair, Lory lies face up to the ceiling. Zhao Li Xin was elated when she decide to tell him about her past, he wants to understand her pain and her loss and he can only do that if he knew her past.
"About your Father….is he a King?" Zhao Li Xin carefully asked.
"He is…" she answers calmly, her eyes remain on the ceiling.
"So, you are A Princess?" he asked again.
"I am…" she replies nonchalantly.
"And your mother?" he probes further.
"She passes away when I'm six years old"
"That…must be hard for you" he never knew motherly love but he knew about filial piety.
Lory shift her gaze on him "I'm fine, I still have my Father, Lucas, and the others, I never feel lonely though"
"The others?"
Lory giggles when she reminiscence her friends "People like Mong Ki and Mong Yi, they are my subordinated but actually they are more than that, I've grown up with them, they are my teacher, my friend, my guardian…most of all they are my family"
"I don't think I have a close relationship like you did with them?"
Lory chuckles "You might not realize it..."
"And about your twin Brother…whose again his name?"
"Lucas…is it so hard to spell, how do you spell my name then?" Lory looks dejected.
"Your name not Lory?" Zhao Li Xin confuse
"It's a shorten from my real name….oh well it would be a long time before you can spell my full name" Lory sighs, her name is quite long and have a certain accent too, is not her fault she is a long descendant of the archaic family.
"Oh yes, you ask about Lucas" Lory exclaimed, "Well, where do I start…."
"Is he look like you?" Zhao Li Xin smiles when he imagines her male version.
Lory knew what his thinking she can't help to chuckle either "Me and Lucas was more than just a twin, we are mirror twins"
"Mirror twins?"
Lory take his hand then put his hand oh her right chest "His heart is on the left but mine is on the right, I'm right-handed but my brother is left-handed, everything about us is similar but opposite to each other"
When she pressed his hand on her right chest he supposed to be excited as a man should be but when he sees her saddened eyes and bittersweet expression on her face he can only feel aching for her and slightly jealous with her twin brother who was with her since she was in the womb.
"Are you very close to him?"
"It's inevitable since we are twins, my mother said a twin was supposed to be one soul but the God split them into two different people but in the end, a twin was never complete without each other so they always look for one another"
"Are you said that to irritate me?" Zhao Li Xin's mood becomes foul.
Lory laughs when she sees him sulking "What's wrong? Don't tell me your jealous" Lory grinned.
Zhao Li Xin ignores her teasing, he annoyed someone has half her heart even though that someone her owned brother, he knows he being petty but he can't help himself.
This is the first time she see him sulking and it's quite amusing for her, he turns her body against him.
"He had half my heart and my other half I already gave it to you, why you are still sulking" Lory play with his long silky hair.
"Can I have it all?" he pleaded earnestly.
"You both important to me, so you must learn to share…." Lory patted his chest.
"Hump!" he didn't want to but he can refute her, half is better than nothing.
"And after all….I already lose half of my heart, I won't survive if I lost another half too so keep it save…..don't break my heart" she smiles lovingly, there's a hint of sadness and hope in her beautiful clear eyes.
"Rest assure, I keep your heart safe, I give you my word" he pulls her chin closer before he kisses her gently as if she would break if he pushes her too much, her heart fluttering her face become hot she love the way his soft lips touch hers, she pulls his collar closer until there's no space between them, it's a long, gentle and fiery kiss for both of them but suddenly Zhao Li Xin stop then he look behind Lory with upset expression.
She unconsciously follow his gaze, turn out someone stare at them with astonished expression as if he would get heart attack, the strange man is two meters height with broad shoulder and muscular body Lory can see his muscle bulged under his robes, the man seems like in the late twenty he has square jawline with stubble and beard cover his face the man look rough and manly just like a soldier.
Lory wants to turn her body around to see the man clearly but Zhao Li Xin didn't let him instead he cover her body with his long and wide sleeve, a moment later Bei Li Yan with red fiery robes, hit the muscular man back head, the man almost fall on his knee, then Bei Li Yan smiled awkwardly at them he bows quickly with anxious expression then he pull the collar of the big man and drag him away out in a flash.
It's all happened less than five seconds, Lory feels embarrassed since it's clear Bei Li Yan knew what they are doing but Zhao Li Xin looks very much upset.
"I think you have a job to do" Lory sit up from the couch, but she surprises how loose her dress is even her 'dudou' almost exposed, aren't they just kissing since when? She wants to say something at Zhao Li Xin but then she realized his collar didn't look better either his bare chest has peeked underneath his robes, Lory flustered she didn't know what her hands had done since they are even she chose to not say anything.
Zhao Li Xin helps her to fix her dress "Let me introduce you to my subordinated" he said while tighten her lose the belt.
"Maybe later" Lory fixed her messy hair.
"Why not now?" Zhao Li Xinconfuse.
Lory bite her lower lips with perplexed expression, her hair is a mess, her dress is wrinkle and half her rouge is on Zhao Li Xin lips, she looks like a girls who just making out, there's no way she would show herself like this, not to mention Bei Li Yan and that man caught them in the acted. Lory is not a shy girl but she still embarrassed in this kinda situation.
"Just call me later, you have a lot of thing to discuss for tomorrow" Lory help him wiped the red rouge on his lips, the touch of her hand only ignited the fire inside him, he press her hands on his lips to calmed the burning fire within him sadly it didn't help much, her flustered face and her beautiful doey eyes only incited him more to stay.
When the man you love looking at you with passionated eyes how can you remain calm, but this is not the right time or the right place, they still have a lot of things to do, Lory hardens herself before she's seduced by his eyes.
"Go, they waiting for you!" she retracts her hand from him.
"Ugh, I don't want to…" he grumbles, now he understands why the emperor chose to stay in his harem rather than facing his unappetizing subordinated face. Lory chuckles see his reluctance to leave then she helps him fix his collar and his hair, she shoves him lightly.
"Go, next time we must avoid public place" she murmured the next words to herself, but Zhao Li Xin can hear her clearly.
He devilishly smiles "Next time?"
Lory flustered she blurted out her thought out loud "Shut up!" she glared at him but she only appears adorable in his eyes.
Zhao Li Xin raises from the couch, he kisses her forehead before he left with a bright smile on his face. Lory watch him figure disappear behind the moon gate, she takes a long deep breath to calm her racing heartbeat, she glances at the couch and she can feel smoke above her head, she knew if it's not in the pavilion the wouldn't stop just by kissing, they relationship used to move in a speed of turtle but after this she can't be sure anymore.
