CHAPTER 29
Ginelle’s place**
She’s feeling slightly sick so she never went to the br©thel tonight, she stayed home on her bed, shivering with cold
All thanks to Brayden who calmed her down last night and took her home
He finally knew her house though she never wanted him to, but he knows now
She didn’t bother to check who it is when the door opened, it’s surely him
Brayden came in and rushed to her when he saw her condition
“You’re shivering!”
“It’s late already…why…why did you… come here” she asked
” Look at her being interrogative when she’s shaking badly, gosh!” Brayden said and felt her temperature
” It’s normal, you don’t have a cold” he said and got covering clothes from the table in the room
He covered her with it and sat beside her then held her hand.
“Holding my hand costs a lot you know” she said weakly
Brayden smiled and squeezed it gently
” Don’t get sick I beg you” he said seriously
“What will you do if I get sick?” She asked
” I’ll be sad” he replied sincerely and she stared at him for long
“Will you still care about me if you know what I do for a living?” She said in her mind
” Ginelle” Brayden called
” What ?” She asked gently
” I miss your always stern side, so get back on your feet soon ok?” He said, touching her face with the back of his palm and somehow that feels comforting
So comforting that she slept off fast

Next morning**
She woke up to see Brayden sitting beside her with his legs crossed, he’s sleeping in his sitting position
“Is he dumb?, Why will he sleep like this?, It’ll be so uncomfortable” she said and sighed
” Right, there’s no other place to sleep” she said and returned to staring at him
” Thanks for staying with me last night, thanks a lot… Brayden” she smiled and moved closer to him
She studied his facial features and smiled again. “He’s so handsome” she thought, feeling the urge to touch his face
She raised her hand to his face but he suddenly opened his eyes and her hand stopped in front of his face
“What are you doing?” He asked, looking at her hand
“I….I..you have a piece of feather on your hair” she said awkwardly, touching his hair to search for feather but there’s really no feathers
She said that to save herself but it seems it wasn’t the best of her ideas
“I can’t find it anymore” she said and withdrew her hand
“Give me food” he said
” Do I look like a food seller?” She replied and he smiled
“I’m glad you’re back, I hate your weak sick side” he said and she went mute, she started staring again
There’s a lot of care in his eyes while saying that
“I’m so handsome right?” He said and she hit him lightly
” Stop the proudness, what do you want to eat?” She asked
*Gimbap” he replied
“Ok” she replied, going out through the backdoor to the kitchen
“She’s just so… unique” Brayden smiled, watching her till she’s out of sight.

Palace**
“I won’t be able to teach you anymore” Cory said to Royalty who’s ready for today’s lectures already
They’re in her room
“What!, Why?, Cory I’m really enjoying your classes and the time you spend teaching me means a lot, please don’t stop” she replied
” Suspicions are already happening and there are rumors that I’m into you your highness, I’m trying my best to stay away from trouble” he replied
Royalty dropped her book and came to him, she tried to hold his hand but he stepped back
“Cory why are you like this” she said, looking up to his handsome face
” I’m sorry your highness, I have to quit” he replied and bowed then started leaving but Royalty suddenly hugged him from behind so tight that he almost stopped breathing
“Your highness!” He said
“Naneun dangsini jeongmal joayo ( I like you very much)” she said
“Your highness we can’t do this, it’s not right…. please let me go” he said, not wanting to force her away from himself
“Salanghaeyo (I love you)” she said
“What!” He replied and immediately, the door opened, queen Rachel came in…
“What do you think you’re doing!” She yelled and Royalty quickly disengaged from him
” Mother” she said
” Guards!” Rachel shouted and guards entered the room
” Take him away to the stone prison till further orders from me” she ordered and Royalty quickly covered him
” No eomma, I’m the real culprit, I was the one who did it, it’s not his fault mother ” She pleaded but she was overpowered and Cory was taken away from the room
” No!, No mother you can’t do this!!” She screamed in tears
“You’re a princess, the first royal princess of Miryang, that guards deserves death for touching you” Rachel replied and left the room
” No…. Mother!” She said, running after her.

***
Rachel got to her room and met lioness sitting on the bed…
Her eyes widened as she moved closer to her
“Missed me?” Lioness asked, grinning silently before standing
“Where have you been” Rachel replied
“I was trapped in a painting at Gaeul’s shrine” she replied
” By the non-human?”
” Yes, but I got lucky, a de.mon freed me and things will soon start getting bIoody, he has pure hatred for the non-human and is after her life and Jimin’s, aren’t we lucky?
We just have to help him then we can achieve our aim of killing the two” lioness said and Rachel smiled
” Not bad, and I want Jung Mal de.ad already, that’s why I’m conniving with Myung Woo, the king of Gongwon, war is coming in from Gongwon soon and in that war, Jung Mal will die surely, then my son can have the throne” Rachel said
” Great plan, I sense a presence, I’m off” lioness replied and vanished
Cal came in immediately
” I heard about what happened, we should kill Cory immediately, his majesty doesn’t need to know” he said
” Of course… future King” Rachel replied with a smile and Cal smiled too
” Then I’ve been noticing Jimin and that Kimora of a maid these days, something is definitely going on between the two” he said
” Keep keeping an eye on them, we need to get them eye to eye”
” But the girl seems weird somehow” Cal said
” Weird?” Rachel replied suspiciously
