Our Rebirth as Mortals (ep 7)

He said "Thank you, but I have no feelings for you", even though Mio already knew about it, but even if he already knew his heart still breaks. The expression on Mio's face bothers Liang, but he surpassed his feelings and said "I only think of you as a nice person so...", Mio interrupted his words and said "don't worry I am not forcing you to love me back even thought I still have some hopes that you love me somehow". He paused for a second and with a bitter expression he turns his face and continued, "I am going back to the palace before someone comes and caught you. I'll send you letter time to time and inform you everything". The disappointed look on Mio's face and his words felt like sharp arrows which are piercing Liang's heart, his heart is aching like hell, he wanted to say a lot he doesn't know why, but he wants to stop him, but he only says ".....ok, I'll wait for your letter...". When Mio is leaving, Liang says "... Mio... stay safe... and... no, just go and send me the letters time to time...", and turnes his back on him. Mio with a smile on his face he whispers "... I'll miss you...".

The day when Mio reached palace, emperor came to his room he saw Mio was in daze, but he didn't say anything and makes himself out of his room. When emperor is gone, Mio started to complete his letter and in ten minutes he finished his letter. Mio tied his letter in a homing pigeon's leg and send it to Liang. After two days the letter reach to Liang, he put that pigeon in a cage and went to read the letter which Mio wrote for him, when Liang read the letter his eyes opened wide, and he was shocked, Mio confessed his wrong doings and said,

[ Dear Liang,

I hope you are safe and well, I reached the palace safely, ... even though we've been away for not a long time but... I already miss you... it feels like it's been years..., hope that you also miss me. How are you? Are you eating fine? You are not in a trouble, right? If you are, I'm sending you this stone, just grab it tightly and say my name, and I'll be there in no time, ok...., my father came to my room when I was writing this letter to you, but he didn't say anything to me, nor did he mention anything about you or about the assign, I think he might have forgotten about it. Liang if anything happens call me as soon as possible. I miss you... I wanted to be with you... Liang... if I wasn't the crown prince I wanted to be with you, spend my every minute with you, I miss you so much Liang. I know I should not have lied to you about my identity, but please forgive me, I am sorry for whatever I've done. Next month I'll come to meet you, tell me what you want, I'll bring it to you. I have to go before someone comes and catches me writing this letter.

Take care

I love you, Liang.

Your Mio]

Liang was staring at the stone, he put the stone aside and started to write a letter for Mio and next morning he sent his letter via pigeon. He wrote a very short letter and pour all his heart into it, he doesn't know why he wrote a letter like that, but he already sent it, so he couldn't do anything about it. The pigeon delivered liang's letter to mio. Mio eagerly opened the letter and started reading it,

[ Dear Mio

I got your letter two days ago. I am fine and doing good, it's the same as always sleeping, chopping woods, finding food, cooking, eating, washing, bathing, feeding the dog and again sleeping. I am not in any kind of danger, so you don't have to worry about it, without you this small house feel's so lonely and quiet. Haah... I really miss you too. You are the only friend I have in this world, I don't even know what to do beside the stuff which I do daily. I'll be waiting for your next letter and don't think too much about what happen before, I already forgave you.

See you soon.

Your Liang]

When Mio read this letter, his urge to meet Liang had notched up, and he's waiting to pass the time as soon as possible. Every time when Mio got a letter from Liang, he started to jump with joy and would go around dancing.

Just like this the months passed, and the day come when Mio could go to Liang, but before he could leave the emperor came to him and asked "I am observing you, every now, and then you are rushing off to go somewhere, just where the hell are you going? Are you hiding something from me? ", the words of emperor hit Mio, he started blabbering nonsense, he said "I... I... I... I bought a cow from human world... a... and... and I hide it in a secret room, so... you never gonna find it. Bye, 'am going. See you next month", before the emperor could get hold of him, Mio flew away in a blink of an eye.
