CHAPTER 22 (I'm in London)

London Palace 9:00 in the night

Myeong-dong to London 12 hours of travel



Ysabella, winced in pain as she felt her head was throbbing, she closes her eyes and again open it, it was blurry at first, and then it was beginning to be more clearer. She gasps and suddenly holds her mouth, she reamed her eyes around her slowly as if she is studying every detail of it, thinking she was in a bit in delusions or something.



"Where am I?" she softly asked herself while holding her temple and then suddenly she saw some bruised in her wrist and winced in pain as she touches the side of her head. It was painful indeed.



"What happened? Why do I have all of these bruises aw!" and then it hit her, she remembered everything in a snap.



The boy.



What happened to the boy! Her eyes widen as she looks around, she was alone. She needs to find the boy. She was about to stand up from her bed when her eyes catch a red envelope near her bed. She was a bit hesitant to open it but there was someone's telling her to do so and besides, she was all alone and maybe it was for her. She must hurry and find the boy and get back home, her parents may be worried sick about her now and she will not forgive her self if something happened to her parents because of her absence.



She slowly took the red envelope and carefully tear it, she was not used to tearing things apart because she is used to appreciating the time and effort of the person who prepared it, that is her every time she gets gifts from her parents. She opened the letter and she can't believe what she was reading.



Dear young lady,

Do not be afraid, you are free to do whatever you want. Maybe the time you are reading this now gets you a lot of questions and I understand that. Please stay calm for I do not want you to be worried and panic. You are now far away from your home and please forgive me for taking you without your consent, you were unconscious that time by saving my little brother and I don't know where you live and no one can be asked since it was very late of night. I am willing to give you transportation back to your home if you wish but if you wish to stay I am glad to welcome you here since you save my little brother. There are no words to tell you how thankful I am for saving him, you did not think twice about helping him even though they are men. And if you are wondering where you are now, you are here in London, here in our place, it is twelve hours of travel way back to your home dear.

There is a butler outside of your room in case you need anything.



Hades



She can't believe what she had just read, she must be going crazy. She was just selling in the market and help a boy and then she is far far away from her home. She is in London! Godforsaken she is in London! She walks near in the window and her mouth fell when she realized she was somehow in the top and she was looking in a trimmed greenfield and she can somehow see far away from her place the enormous gate. And there are also a lot of men outside and if she is not mistaken they are wearing a soldier armored uniforms together with their swords and there are also a lot of old women in uniforms with a wooden tray in their hands.



"I'm in London," she whispered herself.



"An enormous gate," she touches the window.



"Soldiers," she looks down.



"Maids?" she roamed her eyes in her room and finds everything was elegant that it cost so much wealth to have this kind of room, this is just a room that is even more outside of this room. Whatever it is she can't imagine. Did she stumble a very big person that she somehow falls into this kind of place?



"Hades," what a cold name she thought.



She was startled from where she was standing when someone knocks at her door.



"Milady, are you awake? Can I come in?" an old male voice asked and she doesn't even know what to do even though she would just answer him.



"Why am I always afraid of things, I hate this feeling," she muttered under her breath and gain some confidence to answer him.



"Yes, yes you may Sir," she softly answered him and she hoped he had heard it, she wants to slap her face for not speaking louder at this kind of situation. How on earth he would hear her? She was about to open her mouth to repeat her answer when the door swung open and a tall man entered smiling warmly at her. She was still standing near the window and she was barefooted.



"I'm sorry if I disturbed you but our prince ordered me to check if you are already awake or not. Are you somehow hungry Milady? I bet you are because you are sleeping for 12 in a half-hour and I think you should get eat. It is not healthy if you skip dinner now even though it is already nine in the evening," he stated while looking at her warmly, she felt comfortable at his presence. She can see her grandfather on him.





"No, no it's okay did you say, prince? Could you tell me where am I? I know I'm in London because Hades wrote me a letter, he left it there at the table," she answered looking at him and he was somehow shocked but regain his composure.





"Yes, Prince Hades wants to have dinner with you."
