The Crown
This is an odd, yet pleasant kind of déjà vu, how Zhen Xin is staring at me and how his vibrant blue eyes are the first thing I see after waking up. I smile weakly.
"Xin-Xin." It feels like all the bad things that happened to me have been cast away just by looking at those eyes.
"I am not a cat, Your Highness." Despite him saying that, I can see the contentment in his eyes, the relief the subtle tears that are straining the rim of his adorable eyes, "I am so sorry…Your Highness that I couldn't save you the moment you needed me the most."
I chuckle softly, warmth flooding my chest. I am still very unsure about what happened that night. I am pretty sure I have been asleep for a few days, which is why my mind is a bit hazy, and I can't clearly remember any detail of the stormy night.
