CHAPTER 7
Jimin’s room**
The night has set in already when he opened his eyes slowly then spranged up
“Jimin you’re awake” Cory said beside him
“Did I…. Sleep off again?, In that rowdy marketplace? ” He asked slowly and Cory went mute, meaning yes
Jimin’s tears fell immediately and Cory wiped them
“You’re crying again”
“I just can’t help it, I’m weak and not fit to be a prince don’t you think?, How can a prince sleep around?, I have many weaknesses and illness and I’m…” He said and stopped, remembering he fell on someone
“Did I fall on someone?” He asked
“Oh.. yes!, That maid, but she’s ok” Cory replied
Jimin closed his eyes tightly and heaved
“I need to go see the stars” he said, standing and Cory started dressing him up

Kimora’s room*”
She finished making dinner with the other maids and she came in after eating
She applied medicine on her wounded hand and tied it with a blue piece of clothe
“All done” she said, standing up
“The prince… Narcolepsy” she said and took her medicine book
She searched for where she had written everything about narcolepsy and when she found it, no specific drug but…
“Kiwi fruit and jujube can help reduce the rate” she thought, dropping the book
“Jujube and kiwi, I should go into the forest and search for the them, if I make the medicine, will he take it from me?, Well I’ll try first but right now I need to go see the stars” she smiled and left the room
She walked down the path that led to the back of the palace and surprisingly she met Prince Jimin and Cory on the way
“Your highness! ‘ she bowed respectfully..
“The maid from earlier” Jimin said
“We used mask, she’s not supposed to know it’s us” Cory whispered
” Oh… ” Jimin said, noticing her tied hand
“Is there a wound on your hand?” He asked
“Your highness it’s minor” she replied, still bowing
” You said she’s not wounded, she obviously got it from the fall” Jimin whispered to Cory
” I’m sorry your highness” Cory replied
” Jimin? ” Janis said, coming over
“Hyungnin! ” Jimin said brightly
” Guess you’re on your way to see the stars again, star lover” Janis said
” Yes brother, you didn’t tell me you’ll be sleeping in the palace tonight” Jimin said
” Well I planned to do that just an hour ago, I enjoy watching the stars with this cute girl here” Janis said, holding kimora’s hand
” You both are friends?” Jimin asked
“Yes, she’s closer to me than Brayden” Janis whispered and Jimin smiled before looking at Kimora again
“We’ll get going” Janis said
“Ok, see you in the morning” Jimin replied and Janis left with her
He pulled her to the fence and faced her
“You should climb first” he said
“No go first” Kimora replied
” Oh oh, stubbornness doesn’t apply here, climb first cutie” Janis said
” I’ll obey you tonight” Kimora replied and started climbing while Janis held the ladder
When she’s already sitting on the fence, he climbed up too and sat beside her
“The stars are extraordinarily beautiful tonight” she said, looking up at the starry sky
“I know right, but why do you love the stars so much just like Jimin? ” Janis asked
” Prince Jimin loves the stars?” Kimora said
“Of course, he has loved them since he was younger” Janis replied
” Whoa!, Well I love the stars cos to me they’re the most beautiful things that ever existed” she replied
” No they’re not, you are” Janis said
“Shot!, It’s late already are you trying to make me blush by this time of the night? ” She replied and Janis smiled
” You’re beautiful” Janis said
“Gomasseumnida ahjussi (thanks sir)” she replied with a bow, making funny faces and Janis laughed
“Oh!, The Dipper!” Kimora said, pointing at it
Janis looked up and nodded. “Whoa!”
“It’s beautiful right?” Kimora said, staring with interest
“Sure” Janis said, staring at her
“To me you’re the most beautiful sight on Earth” he thought and continued staring at Kimora who’s busy staring at the stars with a big smile on her face
“Did you hurt your hand?” He said, noticing her hand
“Oh this?, I… I fell and hurt it slightly but don’t worry I applied medicine and it’s just a matter of minutes before it’ll heal” she replied
Janis held her hand and sighed
“Don’t get hurt again ok?” he said
” Yes sir! ‘ she replied loudly and that made him laugh
She returned to staring at the stars and felt glad that such beautiful things exist
Since she knows herself as Kimora, she has been in love with them and can’t just stop
Janis head suddenly landed on her shoulder and she looked at his face, he’s sleeping already
“Sleepyhead, he came to watch the stars with me but instead he slept off on my shoulder, well I’ll enjoy the view alone” she smiled..
” They must be so close” Cory said, stopping with Jimin to watch Kimora and Janis
They’re actually just coming back from where they went to view the stars from
“I know right?, Let’s go” Jimin said, leading the way in

Queen Rachel made sure she positioned the powder well on her palm before knocking the door
She has been locked in since the king’s order and right now her only wish is to kill Sera and her son but she has somewhere more important to go
She knocked the door and a guard opened it
“I need to pee” she said, surveying the guards with her eyes
There are a total of ten guards there
“Yes your highness, I’ll lead you” their leader said and Rachel quickly blew the powder into the air, they all slept off and she rushed out of the place
She covered her head with a cloak as she stepped out of the palace through a secret route
She walked for over thirty minutes till she got to where she’s coming to
The door opened and she entered the old house..
“Lioness I’m here” she said and a woman appeared before her
Black robe, curly short hair, pretty face, green eyes, her face exudes powers as she settled down on a chair
She’s a wtch who works with the power of Lion and that’s why she’s addressed as Lioness
“I knew you were coming” she said in a bold dark voice
” there’s a problem” Rachel said
” Your rival’s cur$ed son is back?’ Lioness said
“Yes, and you know how much I hate him, that’s why I employed you to curse him since he was born” Rachel said
” The curse is still on him, you don’t have to worry about your son, Cal Jung will be the future King of Miryang, no one will want a sick king like Jimin, not even Jung Mal himself” Lioness said
” Is that true?”
” Trust me but…
“What?” Rachel asked
“I can feel a presence in the palace that’s trying to interfere, I mean a powerful presence, not human” Lioness said
” Who’s it?”
” Her face is veiled anytime she’s revealed and that makes it harder, there’s a powerful strong aura surrounding her” Lioness said
” What do we do?”
” Leave that to me” Lioness replied, smiling slowly

Next morning**
” Why are you suddenly searching desperately for kiwi and jujube?” Tania asked, roaming the forest with Kimora who’s searching keenly for the two
“I need to help the prince, though the two can’t stop it, but it’ll lower the level of it” she replied
” But the two seems to have gone extinct, we’ve searched for over an hour let’s go back” Tania replied
” No, let’s search for two more minutes” Kimora replied
” That’s what you kept saying since we came, I’m fed up” Tania complained
” Ok go back to the palace I’ll search alone” Kimora replied.
” How can I go back without you when we came together” Tania replied
“Then stop complaining” Kimora said
” You’re a nut job seriously” Tania said and stopped, her eyes widened
“That’s a kiwi tree!” She exclaimed, pointing at it
Kimora turned to her direction and saw it, a big smile covered her face
“I knew we’d find it!” She said
Tania started rushing to the tree but some steps to it, it’s like something turned her upside down, she went up and started dangling in the air
“Tania!’ Kimora screamed, watching as an harsh wind threw Tania around in the air
“Tania what’s happening!” Kimora screamed fearfully and right in front of her eyes, the kiwi tree caught fire and burnt down
The wind stopped and Tania fell on the ground, bIeeding from the mouth
“Tania!” Kimora shouted and rushed to her, she’s bleeding from the mouth already but she’s still conscious
“I’m….I’m…I feel….weak” she said and lost consciousness
” Tania no!, You can’t lose consciousness you’re too heavy I can’t carry you!!” She screamed
” Quit trying to help prince Jimin, it’s a useful warning” a deep female voice said and it echoed through the forest
Kimora looked around and found no one, the kiwi tree is still burning
“What just… happened?, Someone help!!!” She screamed
