I was forced to sit up as I was curious to know what made the king regret.
Instead of giving me what I wanted, he asked, "What were you in your world?"
I swallowed. No one has asked me this question since I arrived here. I looked down at my hands. I never meant to get this emotional. "I was a student," I replied sincerely. "I was a smart student. I was very independent and handsome too." It was not shameless of me to take my time to praise myself, okay?
"You have had a very easy life," he commented quietly.
I pressed my lips together and shook my head thoughtfully. Did I have an easy life? "If I had an easy life, I will not be here," I replied.
"How did you die?" he asked me.
"What will happen when I return to the world I belong to?" I asked instead of giving him a response.
