Chapter 135

That dream still continues...

In the dream, Renneshia in the game is pushing herself to read all the book in the Royal Library until she miss her meals or reading until late night and make her lack of sleep for a few days. She started to become impatient because she couldn't find anything that gave her any hope to save her mother. From early morning she could feel that her head felt hurt but she ignored it and still went to the Royal Library because there iwasno class for the day.

Renneshia never knew the real meaning of rest because she never had any rest from the time she was able to remember. They always made her do everything beyond her capabilities until she got sick. But even when she was sick, they still told her to work, study or train. Fortunately, she was a strong child who won't get depressed even when she received such crazy treatment. 

'Looking at the Renneshia from the game, I suddenly thought that my conditions was much better than what she experienced... But why can't I find the people like Brother Winslow or Sister Ancelina? I think that they should be working in that damn mansion, right? Oh my goodness, why can't I see her memories like that time when I saw Shia's memory before? Unfortunately, I was only able to see it if Renneshia thought about it.'

Renneshia definitely has gotten sick because she pushed herself too hard and she started to feel stressed for not being able to find anything that was able to heal or help her get a bit better. Renneshia was scared of losing her mother, the only person who understood and cared about her in this world. 

She sat in the same place as usual and started to read the book that she hadn't read before. Her focus was on the book that she was reading but when she read around ten pages, her head hurt and her eyes started to get blurry. She could feel her body wobbling and then her vision became black. Someone seems to call her as her consciousness disappears. But she only felt sad because she couldn't continue reading. 

'As a viewer, I only to feel sad for Renneshia in the game and angry at those crazy people from that crazy place. They were really messing up with such a pure girl like her! If only I am able to help her.'

But it was a useless thought because it was only a dream. Besides, this dream is different from what happened with Shia before. But this dream was quite helpful because she could read the book that Renneshia read in the Royal Library. She had been accumulating the information that she was able to get and found some useful information that was able to help her situation. 

That information was related to an old book that didn't write the name of the writer and did not have any title on it. That book content looks like nonsense at first when you read it but there is a strange map at the end of the book. This strange map might have a clue to some kind of treasure.

'Should I try to draw it when I wake up later? But what if it was some warning to not come closer to it? I need to look for more information when I wake up.'

As she thought about the information that she saw when Renneshia in the game read, Renneshia seemed to regain her consciousness and open her eyes. Renneshia was currently laying on her bed and she was in the room that she got when she stayed in the Palace. Someone seems to have brought her when she fainted in the Royal Library. 

Renneshia who feels impatient trying to raise her body but she is currently too weak because of her accumulated fatigue and stress. Her head feels so painful but she still trying to get back to the Royal Library to continue her reading. As she was struggling to move her body, she heard the sound of someone coming into her room.

"You are awake! I'm sorry for not asking for your permission when I came in. But how is your condition? Don't try to get up. You need to have some rest. Wait, let me check your temperature first." Prince Edmund looks worried and asks some questions before reaching out his right hand in the direction of Renneshia's face.

Renneshia quickly closed her eyes and felt afraid. She could see why Renneshia felt afraid as Prince Edmund was the only person who tried to talk to her in this place. Renneshia keeps reminding herself that Prince Edmund's kindness was an act to show to other people and their relationship was just a fake contract. There is no feeling such as love in their relationship. 

They always punished Renneshia when she fainted due to fatigue or sickness. It was really an inhumane thing that Renneshia had to experience in that crazy place. She was trembling as she remembered what they had done to her. All of those painful experiences. But for some reason, her heart feels hurt when she thinks that Prince Edmund going to do something similar to her.

Renneshia could feel the cold sensation on her forehead. It was a gentle touch that made her heart feel at ease. As Renneshia slowly opened her eyes, she could see Prince Edmund's face. He looks flustered and his face is a bit red. It reminds Renneshia of her reflection that she saw this morning.

"Your Highness?! This is bad! Your face is a bit red. Do you also have a fever? Is it because you touch me like this? I'm really so-." Renneshia asked with a panicked tone but before she was able to finish her words, she was stopped by Prince Edmund. 

"Stop it. I just doing some training before I come here. You still have a fever and the doctor said that you have been working too hard. I also hope that you will take some rest for today and continue what you are doing later when you get better. You can rely on me. I will help you if it is something that I am able to do." Prince Edmund asked with a gentle yet sad and there also tint of anger.

Hearing Prince Edmund's words makes Renneshia feel a bit sad. She was feeling sad because her current condition made her have to lie on the bed. She feels more anxious because she has to stop looking for anything that could help her heal her mother. But as she wanted to raise her body to show that she had got better, she almost fell down from her bed.

"Be careful!" Luckily Prince Edmund was there and prevented her body from falling from to the floor. 

"Ah! I'm sorry Your Highness. I'm really sorry for troubling you like this. I'm...I...Did I hurt you? I think it would be better if you just leave me alone. I will not trouble Your Highness with my problem." Renneshia said with a sad tone.

"What do you mean by saying that to me?! Are you looking down on me?!" Price Edmund seems to get angry after hearing Renneshia's words." 

"I-I didn't mean it like that. I just remember that the people often said that everyone who got close to me would have a misfortune. I-I just want to make sure that you won't have any misfortune because you touched me before..." Renneshia timidly said in a small voice.

"You don't have to worry about it because the Royal family members have the protection of the divine dragon so they won't be troubled by something like that! And why do you think that you are the cause? It might be just some coincidence. You need to be more positive about yourself. Ah, don't worry about it and you just need to slowly change yourself so you will have a better life." Prince Edmund said as he carried her body with a princess carry.

Renneshia's heart felt as if it would explode as it was the first time someone touched her like this. She didn't know what to do and she was too afraid that she might act rude to him right now. Besides, as if her body was frozen, she could not move her body or mouth and her eyes were unable to move away from looking at his handsome face. She only snapped from her dazed when he put her down on the bed.

"You need to rest. You will be able to get better quicker if you have enough rest. Wait here and don't move." After warning her to have a rest, Prince Edmund went out of the room and quickly came into the room with a food cart.

Delicious smells could enter Renneshia's nose. Only then did she realize that she haven't eaten anything from last night. She was too busy with reading all the books that she read. There was even a time she needed to train and learn without eating or sleeping for two days before when she was still in that crazy place. Renneshia didn't realize that her mental condition was also one of the factors that made her condition become worse.

"Here eat this. You need to eat to regain your energy. You will get better if you eat something good. Here say 'aah'." Prince Edmund suddenly took a spoonful of the food and tried to feed her.

"Aah..." Renneshia could only do what he said to her even though she felt really embarrassed and wanted to hide or end it quickly but she also didn't want to stop from looking at his happy face.
