The lady sights before answering it."I have, but when he was about your age he leave me. He choose his father over me as his guardian. But I can't blame my son, after all I have a bad temper. Maybe he can't hold on with such attitude. Just like his father."

Aubrey felt sad hearing it, the son must be ungrateful with his mother cause he leave her when he makes sure his old enough to make her mother suffer. Aubrey can't imagine herself being on the situation these lady had. Marrying a treacherous husband and giving birth to an ungrateful son.

"Let's just forget about it. It's already in the past let's focus on what's ahead." The lady said. After a while the room is quite. Aubrey once again took the book under her pillow. She wants to return it, cause she felt guilty on her actions towards the poor lady. As she turns off the lights the beam of the moon kised the book and Aubrey saw it's letter transformation. How the unreadable letter translated from the letter she can read. She then realized that the book was working when it was being shown the moon's light. She open the cover and was thrilled, because the part she read last time was about the guy Zecheng was healing and they were waiting for him to be okey to start the journey on searching Simon's lover Rushelle. She was surprised because the first page was changed it begun to tell about the kingdom.

"Miss your finally awake." The girl who was standing on her bedside said. Aubrey looks around and was wondering where she was. She noticed the surrounding was very familiar, and it's one of those rooms she saw in Chinese dramas bedroom for their royal bloods. But the the fashion everyone was wearing was like the movie princess Jasmine. Then she remembered the very content of the story she read earlier before getting suck inside the book. She then analyze that maybe every night she gets sucked inside and every morning she forgets it. But actually she gets inside the books content and the story remains after she wakes up that's why she can't remember it. She laughs and claps her hands but it was just for a while cause she felt weak. The maids also finds her weird.

Someone from the outside shouted, "His highness is here." She was wondering what was her role in these story. She seats formally to greet his majesty who was outside ready to get inside. Then she heard the slide of the door, signaling someone is already inside. With her weak body, she stands up and greeted the approaching king. She knew kings shouldn't be stared so she bows like how historical Chinese drama greet their emperor, "greetings your majesty". The maid who's besides her was shock and asked her in a low voice, "what are you doing my lady." Then Aubrey thinks it might be the historical korean greetings, and kneels down and do the traditional bowing "OHH, GREAT KING, LONG LIVE THE KING!" she shouted and bows like how how the Korean dramas bows on their feet. There was no response so she's thinking something. Her feet seems cold right now, and she must find it's way how to greet the king. She analyze the surrounding. Then she remembers again the outfit they wear, its like Indians. 'So it must be the Indian greetings' she said on her mind. She stands up and position her hand in praying form then bows her head saying, "Namaste". The people inside was shocked and finds her actions weird.

"What are you doing" the cold voice of the king asked.

' The king must be mad for not greeting him correctly' in Aubrey's mind. Then she has no choice but to greet him in a modern way. She raise her head and wave her hand saying, " Hi!" But she was surprise who was in her sight. Ruichen Sanderson, the guy she had adored from her elementary days up until the recent years.

She felt shy, so she covered her face with her palms. She was so embarrassed, and wondered why her childhood crush was now one of the books characters.

The maid falls on there knees and pleads "Forgive her lady your majesty. She just gained her consciousness from her long illness."

Aubrey takes a glimpse on everyone inside and saw that the king who was her childhood crush was cold as usual from here to her reality world. Then she pretends to cough and groggy. Her maid immediately assist here after seeing her actions.

"You shouldn't have stand up miss." She said.

Aubrey then lay down on her bed and acted very weak, although lately she was just too lively. The king commanded everyone to live him and her alone. And when everyone was gone, he seats on the beds side and run his fingers on her hair. Aubrey blushed from what she just experienced. Her wish finally has come true. And that is to be touched by the guy she admired the most. Aubrey took his hand and hug it tightly.

The king was shock, and everything the Aubrey do was new to him. So he pull his hands back in a mean way. He stands up and asked, " Tell me what do you remember?". Aubrey doesn't think too much cause she can still remember everything that happened in her life. She also shared the story from the magic book about the romance of Zecheng and Delbey. When the king heard the lady's name he was more shocked. "Zecheng? who is Zecheng, Delbey?" He asked.

Aubrey's eyes widened." Who is Delbey?" She asked confusely. But observing the reaction of the king Aubrey had thought "Is the Delbey you're referring was me?" And pointed herself in perplexed.

"You don't remember... " The king said in a frown. Aubrey gets sad seeing the sad Ruichen. It's the second time she saw Ruichen down, the first one was on their graduation rehearsal where he discovered the girlfriend he had was cheating on him to a basketball player. Then the king was on his way to live but, Aubrey called out "chen-chen!". Then run on him and hug him on the back. "Don't be sad cause your making me sad". The king was moved on her actions so he turned around and kissed Aubrey deeply. She was surprised by it and pushed him away, then slaps him. The king was embarrassed and live. And Aubrey was left guilty.

After all she never felt something about the kiss. She look out from the door and saw the moon was crescent. Then she heard an echoed voice inside her. And it was the little voice of her promising about the moon. Then unknowingly she touched her lips again. Her maid entered the room and rushed to close the door and push her back on her bed.

"What are you doing my lady. Why are you standing near the door. The night was cold and your health might worsen." The worried maid said

"He kissed me." She replied with a tingle.

"What's wrong with you miss?" The maid asked fiercely.

"Why are you mad?" She asked.

"Have you totally forgotten what he has done to you and your child." She replied in sorrow. What she heard made her surprised and ask her maid without hesitation, "I have a child?"
