HEARTACHE
Early afternoon at the Asian palace…
I just finished preparing the potion for the king to drink. While being helped by Shu, the king drank the potion I gave him.
"Your Majesty, how are things now?" I asked politely as I stood next to him.
"I'm feeling better, son. Thank you." The king smiled at me.
"Okay, then I'll excuse myself. I'll make the potion again tonight." I then said goodbye.
"Miss, wait." Shu held me.
"Yes, what is it Prince?" I asked immediately.
"Can we talk for a minute?" he asked hopefully.
I don't know what Shu wants to talk about. But now it's nine in the morning. My Rain must have been waiting at the peach hill.
"Um, sorry, Prince. I have a little activity today. Maybe just the night, huh. I'm sorry."
I declined Shu's invitation to talk for a while because I didn't want to make Rain wait any longer. I'm afraid he'll be desperate to come to the palace if I come too long.
