I stood up when I completed counting my one to hundred. I walked out the door, greeted the head of my security for the day - Seo-jun then started walking on the long corridor that leads to my formal chamber.
I looked back to check if my assigned guards are still looking at me and luckily for me they aren't. Immediately, I raise my clothes and run towards Jan-di's quarter.
Jan-di already had everything prepared so when I entered, I just went straight to her bathroom.. There, I discarded my clothes and put on one of Jan-di's work outfits. This is Jan-di's idea though, she said that if I wore mine that the passing by maids greetings alone will alert Sangyun of my presence ..that which I don't want to happen and thank goodness that she suggested this.
After I have put on her clothes, I pick mine up and step out of the bathroom, I place my cloth on Jandi's bed then grab her hand and start walking hurriedly towards Sangyun quarters.
Few inches away from his chamber, I started hearing voices, muffled voices. The first voice which I am so sure of is Sangyun. As the day we first met, he gave me the fright of my life so I don't think that I will forget his voice that easily but the other voice ..it sounds feminine and familiar but still unknown.
"Hwa." Jandi said in a whisper as if reading my mind or maybe I had voiced my confusion out loud.
We move to his door where I begin to hide my face and dust the furniture besides his chamber whenever we feel or hear the guards or other people passing by.
Immediately the last person in view passed, I rushed to the door and placed my ear to the keyhole ..trying to figure out what they're talking about, also to know if their conversation will leak out any information containing my brother's whereabouts but it seems like the two siblings are at war with each other.
All I could here them talking about is the female one telling the male one that he's stupid while the male one reply her with a more steamed voice ..that she's the one who's stupid.
This isn't helping my matter!
Their conversations are wack!! So wack and it annoys the hell out of me ..huh, I thought Jan-di said it was him and his mother who are supposed to be having this conversation right now, but instead it's him and his sister.
"I have failed. I have failed my brother once again, why can't I do anything right for once in my life! I mutter to myself while trying not to cry in the middle of the hallway and not just any hallway but prince Sangyun own.
I feel Jan-di hug me while apologizing.
"Please don't cry Empress. I really thought it was him and Kyung-sook that are supposed to be having this conversation right now.
I heard him tell his mother when I was pouring her tea last night, that he wants to talk to her and Kyung-sook told him that he should go to sleep and that by this time tomorrow which is now ..that she will come to his room so that they will talk, maybe something happened that's why he is having the conversation with his sister instead of his m.."
"My brother's name!" I interrupted when I heard a voice mention my brother's name. "The Hwa girl just called my brother's name. Oh my god!" I whispered happily to Jan-di as I used my hand to cover her mouth, stopping her pleading and explanation in the process which she didn't mind at all ..heck, I don't even care if she did.
