Chapter 2

They caught up with me at the door as I pulled on my coat.

- Na Ra are you completely out of your mind? An Yu asked sternly. - I told you that we will get married in any case, whether you like it or not! He was breathing rapidly and began to get angry at my willfulness. I knew An Yu's state. This is how his jealousy manifests itself.

-And I said that even at gunpoint I would not marry you, okay?! The further you go in YOUR attempts to make me yours, the more I will resist. As a result, it is not known which of us will suffer! I - flew out of the house like a bullet. It was already noticeably cold outside, and I quickly froze.

The clock showed half to midnight. I decided to go towards the park, where it would be best to watch the eclipse.

- Na Ra, stop! I turned around at Na Ri's voice.

-Go home Na ri. exhaled. I said wearily and

-I do not want. What can I do there without you? I heard there's a lunar eclipse tonight, maybe we'll see?

- I heard it too. Let's. I'll go buy coffee. - I went to a nearby cafe and ordered two Latter

Are your parents very angry? I asked, handing my sister a paper cup. -

- Naturally, what did you expect?

What did they expect when they decided to sell? me

-Na ra, we all wish you happiness. It's just that your parents don't know your relationship with An Yu. They don't know how he bullied you at school, how he didn't let you through. Here you would have told them in time, maybe, And was not tonight's dinner and this scandal.

- You know, history does not tolerate the subjunctive mood. If yes, if only ... Nothing would have changed. They just need connections, money, power. Why did I always think that I was not from this family? I can live without all this luxury! I don't even have a car! Instead, I go to Muay Thai, practice the art of swordsmanship, learn archery, love horseback riding, and even try to learn Goguryeo (ancient Korean language). Although I have no idea why I need it.

But you are a versatile person! You know everything, you can do everything! Emperors would go crazy for you! - Dreamy cast Na Ri.

"Ahaha, you can say it too!" - I smiled.

-Look! Na Ree screamed, pointing to the full moon, which was slowly changing color and becoming a pinkish hue. - It starts! - I looked at the clock with bated breath and found that it was already midnight. But after looking longer, I realized that the second hand of the clock does not move.

- Damn, the clock broke again. I said frustrated and turned to Na Ri. My sister seemed to freeze. Na ri? I screamed, but the bloody color of the moon distracted me. He seemed to beckon me. Time stopped.

- What's happening? After a moment, my sister looked at me in horror. - Na Ra, what's wrong with you?

-What is it? I had a feeling inside - weightlessness, lightness. It's like I...

- You're transparent! Na ra! I tried to grab - Na Ri's palm, but every time my hand passed through it. - Na Ra, what's going on?! Tears of fear filled the eyes of the older sister.

-I don't feel you. - My voice seemed to disappear too, dissolving in the air. - Help! - I looked at the moon and saw a completely bloody moon.

At that very moment, the moment when I ceased to exist, time turned back in front of me. It moved too fast, blurring into indistinct images. I no longer understood what was happening to me, as if I had been hit on the head . .

- Hey, boy, why are you lying down? I felt small pebbles under the wet sand. - AND

-What? What happened? - I said, clutching my head. Honestly, as if hit with a shovel!

- Where did you come from here? Was above me

unfamiliar female voice. And me completely

didn't like that the woman confused me with

some kid. It's like it fell from the sky!

I swear a minute ago you weren't here

It was!

-I am not a boy! Offendedly, I said and with difficulty got up from the ground. When I saw everything clearly, I almost lost the power of speech. There was a park where I was five minutes ago. A green park with benches, trees, bushes and couples in love. And my sister was there too! And now in front of me .... God! Am I in Korea? - I grabbed an unfamiliar woman by the hand, I shook her and tried to calm down. Or, on the contrary, did I become even more afraid?

-What's wrong with you? Where did you come from?

-I do not know. Looking around in horror, I realized that I had always been in the market.

- Are you a girl? At that moment, I looked that woman in the eyes. She looked to be in her 30s. Young. And such participation takes in the fate of an unknown person.

-Yes. I kind of knew that I was me. But - the voice was kind of whiny, as if I was not 21 years old, but fifteen years old.

I began to look around, hoping to find a mirror or any other reflective surface.

-If you are looking for a mirror, fabric saleswomen have it. - Prompted by a stranger.

-What is your name? - I asked her.

-Han Na ri. - She answered and it suddenly dawned on me that she reminded me of my sister. No, they didn't look alike, But I just felt her good heart. Same as Na Ri. - And you?

-I don't even know. Looks like I don't exist here. I said dejectedly. Seeing the mirror, I looked into it in fear that I would not see myself at all. The hope that at least my appearance was carried with me into the past. Something from myself, please!

I closed my eyes and exhaled. I was in the mirror. It really was me. Only B is sixteen years old. Only in this world do I have dark brown, almost black, long hair styled like boys. And the clothes are boyish too. And in my world, my hair is shoulder-length and much lighter, reddish.

- What do you have? Ree pointed to my left wrist. Looking at him, I was almost speechless. Clock! My watch, which I took from the master! And who foresaw changes in my life. Or did my clock speak on purpose so that I would move to Ryeo ? not

- You didn't believe to myself. - she said regretfully

- I can believe anything, because I saw with my own eyes that you seemed to have fallen from the sky. Na Ri pointed to the crystal clear sky.

-Then how do you react to the fact that I am from the future, and the thing on my hand is a watch, a mechanism that shows the time. I looked into Na Ri's face and saw how it froze in bewilderment.

-Umm, really, it's quite hard to believe. Na ri looked at me carefully. But somehow I believe you. Incredibly, you fell from the sky and there is some unusual object on your hand. I have every reason to believe. And if you don't have a name yet, let me give you one.

-Yes please. I still can't survive in this cruel world. Either you have to live like a boy, or they will sell you as a tribute. me sooner or later..

- Haneul. Na ri said enchanted.

It means "sky". And you are an incredibly beautiful girl. White skin, beautiful shiny hair, rosy cheeks and lips. If you are dressed as a girl, then you will break the heart of Emperor Tantallus himself! And he himself is unthinkably handsome, smart, but rather cruel. The ladies of the court say that he never even smiled in all his twenty-three years.

Yeah, so now is the time of Tantallus. This makes my life even more difficult. All the beauties of the empire were exiled to his palace. Some were made slaves, some were servants, and the most beautiful were made concubines. True, according to history, Tantallus did not have mistresses. He had one wife. The only beloved wife of Tanashiri, who disappeared some time after the coronation. When we went through this through history, this was my favorite part. Tanashiri was the most beautiful woman. CAMOY Kind and smart. Their love was recorded many times and every time I wanted to cry. Where did Tanashiri go? Was she killed? Maybe he killed Tantallus himself because of his pathological jealousy? I read that they loved each other, but for a long time Tantallus simply mocked Tanashiri. Even before she became his wife and empress. Their love story is very complicated.

-Can you hear me? Suddenly, as if from under the water, I heard the voice of Na Ri. - What are you thinking?

-A? Excuse me, I was just thinking.

- So, since I gave you a name, call me on <<You. I will take it upon myself to boldly invite you to live with me. I live with my grandfather. How do you like this idea?
