A few moments later…
It's still dark. But now, Zu and I have walked together out of his residence. We wear sports clothes. He is white, and I am black. We planned to walk around the palace grounds early in the morning.
What's the point of taking me around the palace early this morning?
I don't know why he was eager to take me around the palace this morning. The clock on the wall still showed five in the morning when I left the house. But again, there is nothing I can do other than comply with his request.
"Prince, just run slowly, will you. I haven't run in a long time," I tell him.
Zu was silent, and he rubbed my head with a smile. He started to walk faster, asking me to follow him.
We started jogging from his residence to the palace courtyard. I see the stars in the sky are still shining. The surroundings were still quiet.
He was the first to take me for a morning run.
