Getting Rid Of Me

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.
