Find Another Him?

The same colour just makes me always remember about you as our memories sealed by amethyst.

Luo Fei Yang

I cannot process anything right now but I know I have to be stronger from now on because no one can help me except myself.

"Prince, who is she?"

I turned around and see an old woman. Her clothes are simple but look so elegant. Their clothes are totally different and makes me think if this grandmother is not his wife. Moreover, she called this grandfather as prince.

I don't understand if he is a prince why does he act like an ordinary grandfather? Why does he make me like this? I felt so doomed and asked him. Will he kill me?

"She is my friend." He said.

What? Since when I made friends with him? I still don't know his real identity. I find it weird because his name is the same as that witch who brought me here but now he has disappeared.

"What?" The grandmother said. She looks a bit shocked but in front of us, she tries to calm down even if she can hide her facial expression. "Then alright…" She said no more and then looked at grandfather. "Prince, don't come back now. Prince Qin Qiao's army is still looking for you. I cannot visit the prince here since the rumor about the witch spread."

'What? Witch? Is he the same Xi Wang that I was looking for during this time?'

"Grandmother, you don't need to worry. I can handle it all." He said gently.

"Prince please take care. Prince you know where you have to go?" The grandmother asked.

"I still don't know. Grandmother, you have to come back. I don't want you to have problems because you help me a lot."

The grandmother's face becomes pale then her tears fall down and make her face wet. She hugs him tightly then bow down to him in front of me. That act made me startled.

"Prince, I cannot repay your kindness to me and my family members. I will always remember."

"Grandmother please rise up."

"No…Prince, let me finish it before I die."

"Grandmother, why do you say something like that?", He said.

The grandfather was shocked also and helped the grandmother to rise up but she insisted to finish her kowtow before rising up but the grandfather on his knees so he can wipe away her tears.

"Grandmother please come back safely. I hope we can meet someday. Rest assured because everything will be alright. " He said.

I don't know why this scene can tear my heart like this? What happened here? I feel sad for them even though I don't know what makes them have to separate this way.

After she leaves him in this hut. I can see the grandfather's face changes. His smile just disappeared.

"Grandfather, are you alright?" I asked.

'Oh God. I forget…I'm supposed to call him prince.'

He looked at me.

"I am sorry…I…"

"Don't worry, I am fine. Your friend also will get better soon."

"Thank you Prince."

"Miss Luo, you can call me Xi Wang." He said.

"What?"

'Why does this grandfather make me confused with his name?'

"Don't call me prince. Our positions are the same. Miss Luo don't like when I call you princess, so do I. Call me Xi Wang instead. This place is not safe for a long time. After your friend's recovery, we have to find another place." He said calmly.

I take a deep breath because in my mind. I just want to kill Xi Wang but grandfather in front of me looks like a kind person even though he helps Xiao Yi. A part in my mind is doubting if he is the same Xi Wang but I am not sure since they have the same name. Everything can happen and no one knows.

"Alright. I can call your name but since you are older than me…I think it's not appropriate to mention you just like that." I give him an answer.

"But I am not a grandfather. Miss Luo, I just twenty years old." He explained. "So just call me Xi Wang."

'What? This man is really something. He has so many unpredictable things.'

His appearance is totally like a grandfather. His wrinkled skin is not fake and his white long hair is real. I respond to his words with laughter. I know this is not a good time to laugh because a few minutes ago I became a witness for his sad story but I cannot hold anymore.

"Why are you laughing?", He asked.

"I can understand if you said if you don't want me to call you prince because your enemies are hunting you. But when you say that you are twenty years old, I think that's impossible."

"I can understand." He said calmly but then he spoke again. "But I'm really twenty years old."

He looks so serious. I can't believe he can intimidate me with his onyx eyes. Even if they are two different people but why I feel like they are the same man. Oh…I am so confused but when I see his face become reddish, I know he said the truth.

"Alright. I trust you." I said. "But please don't stare at me like that again."

"That way? What do you mean?"

I point his eyes.

"Like this way."

He doesn't say anymore. He takes a breath for a while before saying again.

"I want to go but I will come back later."

"Then when you will come back?"

He looks at me with confusion and curiosity. I know he must think that I am so weird but I don't care. Even though I am not sure if he is Xi Wang that I know, I will never let my chance to come back in my world be lost.

"Soon."

"I want to follow you. Can't I?" I said as I want to persuade him to let me follow him.

"Miss Luo, you can follow me but not now. I think your friend will need you here when she open her eyes."

His words made me realize about Xiao Yi. I cannot leave her now.

"Then alright. I am here. Please come back soon." I said.

"Alright. Don't worry." He said gently.

At that time I feel he is so different from Xi Wang that I know, this twenty years old grandfather who has wrinkles skin and Xi Wang has different characteristics like heaven and hell. But where is Xi Wang who sent me here?

I am startled when he taps my shoulder. His gaze is gentle as he smiled.

"Miss Luo, don't worry I will come back soon."

He said then he disappeared in violet smoke. Wait…violet smoke is Xi Wang's smoke. It appeared when he pop up and disappeared.

The same name.

The violet smoke colour.
