Lalisa was fl.u.s.tered when she heard Master Gong's words. She stared at him with a dazed expression and was confused about the words that the old man has just said.
'What does he mean by my choice? How can I want to come to this place? And I didn't even know before that such place or dynasty ever existed in history.'
Many questions were going on in her head and she felt slightly dizzy with all the chaos that was going in her head.
She held her head slightly and took a deep breath to calm her nerves. She reached out to grab a water jug and drank a full glass of water.
When she felt relieved, she turned her attention to the old man again who was staring at her indifferently.
"Master Gong, I didn't understand what you meant by My Choice? I didn't choose to come here. I don't even know how I come in this world?"
"As long as I can remember, I gave my memories to Lalisa. In that sense I should have been dead but how come I came in this world? "
"And why I remember everything when I gave my memories to her? It's all too complicated. I don't understand why all this happening to me? " she cried out in frustration.
She was upset at the fact that nobody asks her to come into this world and she doesn't even know how she arrived in this world and here this man was claiming that she came into this world on her own accord.
Master Gong didn't say anything and just listen to Lalisa's complaint. He saw her getting angry and due to frustration, her eyes were slightly red and she was on the verge of breaking down.
She was upset at the fact that everything that happened to her was not on her will, whereas this man was saying different.
She wanted to go back. To her home, her world. This place is very different from her place.
"It's true that you came here on your will but.."
"But what?" Lalisa asked in a low hoarse voice. She was trying to control her temper, otherwise, this man will not open up to her.
She was feeling nervous yet annoyed. However, she calmed down her nerves and wanted to hear his explanation rationally.
"But.. You cannot go out of this world on your own. Many things in this world cannot be explained or reasoned with. And I can't help you in sending you back to your world." The old man glanced at Lalisa's complicated expressions which fell when she heard his words.
"What do you mean I can't go back on my own? Why? Why I can't go back? And why can't you help me go back? " she desperately urged him.
She could not understand why she has to be in this world. Unlike, Lalisa, her life was not as pitiful as her. She was living her life rather peacefully and was having fun.
Only Nancy and problems between her and Jungkook have disturbed her happiness but she was not willing to give up her life for that reason.
"Because I am not the one who brings you in this world."
Lalisa was stunned when she heard these words of Master Gong. She could not decipher the meaning behind his words.
She pursed her lips and asked, "Then who bring me into this world and can send me back? " her voice was low but she was annoyed and frustrated.
Her patience was giving away and she was desperate to go back to her world. Who wants to live in a place where she cannot do anything on her own accord?
She truly pitied Lalisa's life because as an individual her life was nothing. She spent her whole life in fulfilling her duty as Empress, daughter in law and wife.
But she didn't fulfill her duties towards herself as an individual.
The palace has very strict rules and regulations towards women which does not let them bloom as an individual.
Master Gong looked at Lalisa and saw her slightly red face which has a thin layer of sweat forming on her forehead.
His expressions were stern and blank and Lalisa was unable to understand his words which were too complicated for her to understand.
"Even if I tell you who is she, you cannot meet her easily. She is not here, so you cannot meet her.
"But who..."
"So don't ask me again. Because I won't tell you anything about her whereabouts. Because I don't know either" his voice was stern and firm.
Lalisa was shut off before she could open her mouth to say something. She wanted to ask again who is that woman he is talking about but he just cut her off.
She sighed lightly helplessly and asked,"Then can you tell me how come I don't have Lalisa's memories and why I am in this place?"
She pursed her lips trying to read the man's expressions. She knows that this man won't tell the name of the woman who brought her into this world.
So she at least wanted to know the reason why she does not have Lalisa's memories and why she came into this world. There are many questions of which she has to find answers.
She can find the woman later when she gets to know why she does not have Lalisa's memories when she gave her memories to her.
And why she still remember everything when she has given her memories away? There are many questions but no answers.
The old person who can answer these questions for her was him. Only he knows that she is not the real Lalisa but was someone else.
Not only that he also knows the person behind everything who brought her into this world.
"Hmm. You want to know everything about how come you came into this world and why?" the old man rubbed his beard with his wrinkled hands and glanced at Lalisa with his dark eyes.
Lalisa nodded in desperation.
"But I can't tell you anything. Because I don't know anything either." he smiled as he said his words.
The smile was subtle but also looked like a mocking to Lalisa.
She furrowed her brows and asks, "What do you mean you don't know anything? If you don't know anything then how come you know I am not Lalisa? " she said with a firm and heavy voice.
Her voice was hoarse and rough. Her mouth was getting dry and hoarse.
"I only knew that you're not the Empress because she was sent to some other place. She can't come back. '
"When I get the news that Lalisa has woken up from the coma, I was surprised as well. That's why I came to check on you. "
"I never thought that someone can come into this place from another world. If it was not for your choice, you wouldn't be able to come here in Lalisa's body," he said with her brows slightly frowned.
He didn't know many details about how someone else came into this world. He only knew that the real Lalisa has been sent away from this place and would not come back into this palace.
He was shocked to know that Lalisa has woken up from the coma and has lost her memories.
He had his suspicions that's why he came to check the Empress. And he was right.
It was not Lalisa but someone else. The look in Lalisa's eyes when he first saw her was enough to tell him that she was not Lalisa.
Lalisa was confused and bewildered when she heard the old man's words.
"You don't know anything? Then who knows?" her voice was low and helpless.
She wanted to know what's happening to her life. Who sent Lalisa away? And why she came into this world?
'Everything was so messed up. '
"it was Lalisa's aunt and my wife. Kim Goeun is Lalisa's aunt and was also my wife. It was her who has saved Lalisa from dying and has sent her away from this palace. If she had lived in this Palace, she would have died very soon. "
"I don't know much detail either, but I can tell you that she is the only one who can answer your questions. There is no reason for you to argue with me, because I can't tell you anything. Because I don't know much either. " he said with a blank face.
Lalisa blinked her eyes when she heard his words. A hope emerged in her heart.
"Your wife? Then you can help me meet her up? I will ask her then. You should have said sooner if that's the case. " she sighed in relief when she heard that it was the old man's wife who can tell her the details.
If she can meet with his wife than it would be no problem and she will get to know everything. If she got the answers to her questions than she will feel better and maybe return to her world.
