*A new day, a new trouble to overcome.

And this morning might start with the same as we see Lu Xia going to the maids common room to talk with Madam Haoyu. Unfortunately, the latter was out for a work and hence Lu Xia couldn't find her. Just when, she was going back to her room, a bunch of royal maids interrupted her*

Royal Maid 1 *annoying tone* : So, this is the girl going around seeking attention?

Lu Xia: Excuse me?

Royal Maid 2 *defensive* : Treat us with respect, we are senior to you.

Lu Xia: I don't mean to disrespect you, I was just asking a question owing to my curiosity.

Royal Maid 1 *taunting* : Oh really? So what kind of curiosity do you have to hover around the royal family members all the time? Especially when medicinal treatment is not under your department?

Lu Xia: Just for your information, it is now. I work with the Imperial Doctor after my service for the Queen.

Royal Maid 2: you think you are too special, don't you? Just because the royal members give you extra attention?

Lu Xia: Oh No! Definitely not! I just-

Royal Maid 3: Dare to speak over us? The audacity!

Lu Xia: You are misunderstanding-

Royal maid 3: misunderstanding? Oh there isn't! What kind of favour did you give to Prince or Emperor to hire you out of hiring period?

Lu Xia *angered* : Enough! I can bear anything but question on my character.

*The Maids grow angry and push Lu Xia to the ground*

Lu Xia: Ouch!!

Royal Maid 2: A newbie like you has no right to yell on us.

Lu Xia POV: If only my father wouldn't have restricted me, I would have taught them a nice lesson for bothering me without any reason. Uhnhghh!!!!! Why? What's the use of my power if I can't use it to protect myself?

Royal Maid 3: You still have that arrogant gaze, I see. Friends! Let's teach her a lesson on how to function under us

*the maids agree while laughing in an evil manner. Lu Xia is dragged and taken to a dark room. A royal maid takes the key and locks it while Lu Xia shouts for help, she also has blood coming out from her hand since the maids pushed her harshly. The royal maids show no mercy and go away to do their job*

Lu Xia POV: No, It's scary here. I don't want to be here. Someone please get me out. I hate it! Mom was right. The people in the palace can be Cruel. I didn't do anything to them, then why do they hate me so much? Why are they bullying me?

Lu Xia: Help! Help! Please get me out!

*Meanwhile, the Imperial Doctor comes around asking for Lu Xia and informs the Queen*

Queen Jiuling : She's not with you? But she finished her work and left saying that she would go to the imperial medics room .

Imperial Doctor: No, Queen. She didn't come, that's why I came here to ask whether you need her for a longer time.

*Queen Summons Haoyu and asks her about Lu Xia*

Haoyu : I am sorry, Queen but I had been busy all day, I didn't even get the time to visit Common Maids room today, so I have no idea where Lu Xia is.

Queen Jiuling: She told me she would be going to Imperial Medics room but she didn't go there as well. Where is this girl?

Haoyu: Madam, I feel really anxious about this.

Queen Jiuling: I thought I was the only one feeling that. I don't know why but my instincts say that she is in trouble.

Haoyu: Madam, we must try to find her soon.

Queen Jiuling: You are right!

*Meanwhile Lu Xia is feeling breathless due to panic. The room was all dark without any light, no windows, no vision. She was crying continuously while lamenting on her decision to work in the palace. She slowly starts to lose her consciousness.

Prince Chang Lin enters Queen Jiuling's room to ask something but he stops when he sense that the Queen is already tensed regarding something*

Chang Lin: What's wrong mother?

Queen Jiuling: huh? What's wrong?

Chang Lin: That's what I am asking.

Queen Jiuling: Ouh nothing, dear... how was your day?

Chang Lin: Mom, Did I become so estrange to you that you can't convey your worries to me?
I am not just a future king but also your son. If I can't solve your issues, I am not eligible to solve the issues of the common people.

Queen Jiuling: No son, I don't mean it like that-

Chang Lin: Then tell me what's wrong.

Queen Jiuling: um... Lu Xia-

Chang Lin: What about her? Did she trouble you?

Queen Jiuling: No, It's just- she's missing.

Chang Lin: Missing? What!?

*Queen Jiuling describes the whole ordeal. Crown Prince Chang Lin is worried. He assures his mother that he would find Lu Xia. Chang Lin Instructs the soldiers to find Lu Xia.
He also inquires the Royal Maids who as usual express that they are oblivious as to where Lu Xia could be. Meanwhile in the locked room, Lu Xia has already lost her consciousness. Reason? She is claustrophobic since childhood. On other hand, Ryu Shim, Guo Min and Guo Kan are completely Unaware of what's been happening since they were out to enjoy an entertaining show set up by a foreigner, they accompanied the Emperor and the General Can Dong.

Chang Lin didn't go because Queen Jiuling refused to go and he was worried for his mother.

At present Chang Lin is worried, as to where Lu Xia could be. His mind was going blank just when a maid named KuKyi approached him.*

KuKyi: Greetings! Your Majesty-

Chang Lin: Not now, I am busy.

KuKyi: Perhaps I have something which can help you.

*Chang Lin looks at KuKyi hoping for a clue. KuKyi was there when Maids were bullying Lu Xia but she didn't interfere since she was scared that they might do the same to her*

KuKyi: I will tell you what I saw But Please don't reveal that I was the one to inform you!

Chang Lin: Rest assure about that and just tell me what you saw

*KuKyi Describes how the royal maids were bullying Lu Xia and Locked her inside a room. Prince Chang Lin was horrified*

Chang Lin: impossible! How can they be brave enough to do that? Don't they have an idea about the strict punishments?

KuKyi: Well, To be honest, I actually tried to listen to their convo and heard that a royal paid them to do so.

Chang Lin: Do you have any idea what you are saying?

KuKyi: I am Speaking the truth and if it turns out false, you can punish me.

Chang Lin: Where is the key to the room?

KuKyi: With a Royal Maid named Qixhi.

Chang Lin: ok, I will do what I can. You should head back before anyone sees you.

*KuKyi heads back and Chang Lin wastes no time to inform the same to Madam Haoyu and Queen Jiuling. Both were dumbfounded and they quickly rushed to the common maids room to summon all the maids*

Madam Haoyu: I have got some information and before I severely punish the culprits, I will give yall a chance to show up to your wrongdoings by yourself and inform us as to where is Lu Xia.

*No one comes forward*

Fine! You bought it on yourselves. Qixhi!!!

QiXhi: Yes, Madam

*Madam Haoyu Slaps her harshly and inquires her while Qixhi starts crying*

Qixhi: Madam? *while crying*

Madam Haoyu: I know what you did. If you don't want me to give you a harsh punishment to you and your family, you better give me the key and the location of the room.

Qixhi: No, Madam! Please no! Not my family! They did nothing.

Haoyu: you should have thought about that before commiting such heinous act. Give me the key, otherwise I have my ways.

*QiXhi gives her keys, Madam Haoyu, Chang Lin and Queen Jiuing rushes to the room to rescue Lu Xia.

Madam Haoyu Opens the room to find an unconscious Lu Xia.
The latter and the Queen are too terrified to act. Prince Chang Lin takes the charge and carries Lu Xia to a room and calls for the imperial doctor. Imperial Lady Doctor tries to treat her wounds*

Chang Lin *to doctor* : Nothing should happen to her, did you understand?

Haoyu: I will carry out an investigation if I may!

Queen Jiuling: You can, make sure to update us on your finds.

*Looks at Lu Xia*

Ouh Poor her! I didn't expect this to happen to her.

Chang Lin: it's not your fault, mom.

*Lu Xia gains some visions regarding her future life as Marilyn. She mutters some words*

Lu Xia: I - I am not me? I am- mari- Marilyn. Sofi? Emily?
Where am I?

*Chang Lin hears her words and is a bit surprised becuz he never heard such names*

Chang Lin: Marilyn? Sofi and Emily? What kind of names are these?

Are you awake. Don't lose your consciousness, Lu Xia. What will I answer to your father?

You will have to stay alive.
Understood?

*too late, Lu Xia already loses her consciousness and soon wakes up as Marilyn in future*

Marilyn: Wait, me? I was Lu Xia? The future Queen Consort Lu Xia? How is that possible? I was just an idiot village girl?

Am I going mad?

Sofi: There you are!

Marilyn: Guo Min?

Sofi: Excuse me, what kind of old fashioned name is that?

Emily: Do you have any idea how scared we were?

Marilyn: You? KuKyi?

Emily: What? Now what kind of name is that?

Iris: Did she lose her mind?

Phari: Seems so.

Muisa: Marilyn, do you know how worried we were? Thanks to Sofi, she woke up in the middle of the night And found you missing. And thanks to Emily, she assumed you would be here.

Lily: We were so scared for you? And how did you get inside this mirror?

Marilyn: I was inside the mirror?

Sofi: Yeah, we just saw you coming out of the mirror.

Marilyn: the mirror!! It sucked me in!

I was in the era of Lyjas! I was LuXia.

Iris: What!!!?

Marilyn: Sofi was Princess Guo Min and Emily was a royal maid who saved me, KuKyi!

*Everyone is Hella confused*

Sofi: I don't know what you are speaking about but this mirror is magic, that much is clear to us!

Marilyn: The words!!!
Repeat the words with me. You all will be able to travel to the ancient world inside the mirror!!!
Let's do it!!

Emily: Not now!
It's too late!!

Thank the Lord, that we found you and everyone was asleep. You have been missing since 6 hours and soon it's gonna be morning if People don't find us in our bed, we are done!

Marilyn: So I have been missing for 6 hours and in the ancient world, I have already spend 3 and a half days.

Muisa: 3 and a half days, are you serious?

Marilyn: time must be going fast there in the mirror since it's like a flashback or something. Let's go to our bed and come here in the morning!
If 3 days and a half = 6 hours or so, then We will have 8 hours tomorrow for the tour. Perhaps it's gonna be 4 days or so if we travel into the past together.

Lily: and How will we come back? Ever wondered about that?

Marilyn: I don't know

Phari: Great! Sounds like a possibility to get stuck in that world forever!

Marilyn: Definitely not forever Cuz I just came back when I fainted in the ancient world. We will find the solution after 5 hours when Mr. Lucas will give us a tour. Then we will come here. Ok?

Emily: Let's just head back, Leave these things for later!

*Everyone agrees, meanwhile in the ancient world, rest of the royal family members return from the entertaining show and Chang Lin informs them about the condition of Lu Xia. Prince Ryu Shim Panics and tries to go and meet Lu Xia but Chang Lin advises him against it*

Chang Lin: She's unconscious. There's no use of you going in there.

Ryu Shim : But-

Emperor: he is right! I know you are worried but we need to give her sufficient rest so that she recovers quickly.

*Ryu Shim signals Guo Min and Guo Kan. They leave the room and discuss among themselves*

Gao Kan: A royal wanted to hurt Lu Xia? That's so weird considering that not many people know about her except us?

Ryu Shim: But the one who wanted to kill Guo Min might know?

Guo Min: You think it's related to the poisoning incident?

Ryu Shim: I mean, what else can we think of?
Why would anyone want to end Lu Xia? Only if they knew that she saved you.

Gao Kan: This is getting crazy and confusing.

Ryu Shim: Whatever it is, atleast We know one fact now that we think about it, who will have the resources to pull off such risky plans? Of course, it's gonna be a royal.

Guo Min: I want to see Lu Xia...

Ryu Shim: Me too.

Gao Kan: Me three.

Let's sneak into the room at night?

Guo Min: Will that be ok?

Ryu Shim: Unless no one spots us, it will be.

Guo Kan: Deal!

*Three of them pretend to sleep but as soon as Midnight approaches, they sneak out of their rooms*

Ryu Shim: Ready?

Guo Min & Guo Kan: yup Ready!

*all three of them make their way into Lu Xia's room, they see Lu Xia Just when a voice from behind speaks up*

Kukyi: killerrsss!!!!

*all three of them turns back, KuKyi Recognises them*

KuKyi: Prince Ryu Shim and Guo Kan with Princess Guo Min

Ryu Shim *sharp tone* : Shut up unless you want to wake up others!

KuKyi: Did Yall Instruct QiXh-

Guo Min: No! We just came to see Lu Xia. She's our friend plus Brother Lin is not allowing us to come here so we had only one option.

KuKyi: phew! I thought yall were killers, forgive me Lady!

Gao Kan: And you must be KuKyi? The one who helped in saving Lu Xia?

KuKyi: Yes Sire!

Ryu Shim: Thank You for saving her.

KuKyi: Did you just now thank me? I mean I am sorry. It's just a bit hard to believe.

Gao Kan: Ay ay! Our Brother Shim is Kind, he just pretends to be Cruel

Ryu Shim: How is she?

KuKyi: Doctor said the wounds are alright and will heal but they don't have any idea on why she is not waking up. Perhaps a bit of exhaustion. She cried and was breathless inside the dark room.

Guo Min: her face looks so pale. I hope she will be fine.

Ryu Shim *in a broken tone* : She will have to be! She- she can't die!

Guo Min : huh?

Guo Kan: Brother Shim, are you crying?

Ryu Shim *replying coldly* : No, I just feel bad for this monkey. It feels weird seeing a person like her in the bed like this!

Guo Min: It does, she was quite cheerful and now-

Gao Kan *to Guo Min* : She will be fine! Remember she saved you. She is strong!

KuKyi: I will try my best to help her wake up.

Ryu Shim *coldly* : when she does, inform us as soon as possible.

KuKyi: As You want, your majesty.

*In the future world, times goes by and it's morning when Mr. Lucas takes all the students back to the ruins of Inaiju. Marilyn and her friends sneak out and reach for the room with the magic mirror. *

Lily: Wait, wait, what about the solution to come back?

Emily: Let's instruct the mirror?

Phari: The mirror?

Emily: Marilyn translated and said whatever we ask, the mirror will do it and give us a solution. Only The mirror can help us get back at this point. I thought a lot about it when I couldn't sleep.

Marilyn: Not a bad idea, Let's try.

This time while saying the spell, we will add additional requirements.

*Everyone repeats the spell "Low and Behold, explain my role in every question of the soul" for 3times. The mirror begins to spark. Marilyn already taught a fee ancient words which Emily would need to ask for the wish*

Marilyn: Emily Fast!

Emily: Mirror, Mirror! On the wall. 帶我們去古代世界8小時等時間到了再回來。

*in English this spell is to ask the mirror to let the group come back to the present after the exact 8 hours.

Then Marilyn and her friends get sucked into the mirror.

Meanwhile, in the Past, it's already 2 days but Lu Xia hasn't gain any consciousness. Prince Ryu Shim gets restless in his room pacing to and fro.*

Ryu Shim: Why isn't she awaken yet? What's taking so long?

Gao Kan: Relax, brother Shim, She's still alive. Her breathing is steady, remember?

Guo Min: But Brother Shim is not wrong either, she should have woken up after a few hours now it's 2 days and practically almost 3 days since it's night.

Gao Kan: Well, that worries me too.

*KuKyi Comes into the room to inform that Lu Xia has finally awaken*

Ryu Shim: Let's go!

*Lu Xia Wakes up feeling heavy. Chang Lin was passing through the room when He just noticed that. He quickly comes inside*

Chang Lin *concerned* : Are you ok?

Lu Xia: huh? Me? Yes, I am OK.

Chang Lin: Do you have any idea for how long you have been unconscious?

Lu Xia: No

Chang Lin: It's 2 and a half days.

Lu Xia: Is it that long?

Chang Lin: uhn huhn

Lu Xia: Thanks for saving me by the way, I remember you rushing me in this room.

Chang Lin: What about the words? Do you remember them too?

Lu Xia: what words?

Chang Lin: Marilyn, Sofi and Emily?

Lu Xia *making a confused face" : What kind of names are those?

Chang Lin: I was supposed to ask that to you.

Are you sure you are fine? You are not hurt, right?

Lu Xia: I feel pain in my hand but keeping aside that, I am alright.

Chang Lin: I thought there will be maids here to take care of you. Nevermind!
Let me redress your wounds so that your hand feels alright.

*Chang Lin carefully dresses the wounds of
Lu Xia's hand. Lu Xia is touched*

Lu Xia POV: I completely understand now why people say he is worthy of being future emperor.

It's so cute of him to dress my wounds. Normally others will stay away from a village girl like me. After all, we are considered inferior but he doesn't minds it, I guess. That's the sign of a king, I tell you.

I always wonder why Ryu Shim dislikes him? Probably I should keep an eye on both of their dynamics to understand that. DEAL! I will try to mend the sibling relation. Even though, half brothers but at the end of the day, both share the same blood.

*Ryu Shim, Guo Min, Guo Kan and KuKyi Comes inside. Ryu Shim sees Lu Xia comfortable around Chang Lin and that makes him feel oddly weird. He couldn't figure out what it was but he spoke up*

Ryu Shim: What are you doing, here?

Chang Lin *taunting tone* : What are you doing here?

Ryu Shim: I asked you first?

Chang Lin: Doesn't matters cause You are not supposed to be here

Ryu Shim: So do you

Chang Lin *While still wrapping the bandage* : I came in cuz I saw Lu Xia waking up and no one was here. She was feeling painful because of her wounded hand so I decided the redress the bandages and reapply the medicine.
What about you now?

Ryu Shim: I asked KuKyi to inform me when Lu Xia Wakes up.

Chang Lin: Why?

Ryu Shim *impulsive* : I was worried. What do you mean why?

Chang Lin *a bit surprised* : You are not the type to be worried for someone.

Ryu Shim: Yes I am not but she was sleeping like a person in coma which shouldn't be the case. Hence, the worries.

Lu Xia: Excuse me? A person in coma?

Ryu Shim: You slept for 2 and a half days straight, monkey.

Lu Xia: That's why You should drop your tantrums and probably ask me whether I am alright, Prince Coconut Head!

Chang Lin: Coconut head? That actually sounds like a good name.

Ryu shim *to Chang Lin* : What?

Chang Lin: have you ever seen the shape of your head. It looks Like a Coconut from the back.

*Ryu Shim Grumbles a bit*

But Lu Xia, Be careful to not call him like that infront of others, you might get seriously punished.

Lu Xia *pale* : Pu -pu -punished? No I promise not to call him like that in Public

Chang Lin *finishes wrapping the bandage* : That's like a good girl.

Woah, is your face pale? Don't worry I won't punish you. I am not a boring old man who can't take jokes.

Anyway, I will take my leave.

KuKyi, I expect you not to leave the room just like that. She might need your help.

KuKyi: Yes, your majesty.

*Chang Lin leaves the room, Guo Min Sits next to Lu Xia*

Guo Min: Are you ok?

Lu Xia: I am Fine, I was just scared before I guess.

Ryu Shim *taunting* : Are you so weak That it took you almost 3 days to wake up. What if You get stabbed. Will it take a month for you to wake up?

Lu Xia: I myself don't know why I slept for such a long time. Never happened before.

Guo Kan: Sister, you should have told us if the maids were disturbing you.

Lu Xia: I didn't know myself that they didn't like me. They just reacted harshly on that day. I didn't get any signs before.

Ryu Shim *laughs while mocking* : For that, you need a brain.

Lu Xia POV: The audacity?
I am injured and all he cares about is just taunting and being rude to me. And, here I was, thinking that he would be one of 1st people to ask me whether I am ok. I guess I expected too much. It did hurt me to see him like that.

Lu Xia: I have been observing, what's wrong with you? Instead of just asking whether I am ok, you are taunting me.

Ryu Shim POV: I think I behaved too harshly. Urgh!! What was I even thinking? I become like this whenever Chang Lin is around.

Ryu Shim: I- I am sorry. I guess I was a bit harsh.

Lu Xia: Well, Thank goodness you realised that.

Ryu Shim *now concerned* : you, ok? Is your hand paining?

Lu Xia *in an upset tone* : A little bit.
But I am fine

Ryu Shim *sensing Lu Xia's voice tone* : You are upset with me?

Lu Xia *still upset* : No, Why Will I? Its not like I am your best friend or something.

Thank you for coming. Now yall should go back. I just want to sleep a bit.

*Everyone leaves but soon the Queen enters. Lu Xia senses someone*

Lu Xia: I told yall, just leave me alone!

Queen Jiuling: You don't want to meet me?

*Lu Xia Gets ups and regrets her tone of voice. She apologizes*

Lu Xia *apologetic* : I am so sorry, My lady. I didn't know you were here. I thought it was someone else.

Queen Jiuling: Seems like you were angry with them? Is it because of the incident?

It's ok, I understand. You don't need to worry. I felt bad enough to see you in the bed. How are you?

Lu Xia: I am much better now, my lady.

But What happened to the...

Queen Jiuling: The maids?

Don't worry about them. They are getting their punishment. The one who instigated them is in jail though. We are investigating them.

Lu Xia: I didn't do anything to offend them, my lady.

Queen Jiuling: I know you didn't. Some people naturally don't like others.
It's not your fault. Next time if you feel like You will get in trouble, just let me know.

Lu Xia *smiles* : I will.

*Meanwhile, in Ryu Shim's room, Ryu Shim feels bad about talking rudely with Lu Xia*

Gao Kan: You know, you were a bit rude, right?

Ryu Shim: I feel bad about it myself.

Gao Kan: And let me guess, it's because of Chang Lin?

Ryu Shim: Perhaps but I didn't have the intention to hurt Lu Xia like that.

Guo Min: We know and perhaps Lu Xia does too. You just need to give her time so that she can calm down.

Brother Shim, you should try to practice your behaviour infront of Brother Lin. What if, this happens again? Everytime, it's not right.

Ryu Shim: You are right. I was being a fool.

Gao Kan: It's ok brother, I will help you. Don't worry.

Will Ryu Shim be able make it up to Lu Xia?
Or will this be the strain starting to develop between their friendship?

Stay Tuned to watch later.

Preview: Ryu Shim Apologizes to Lu Xia with a surprise. Meanwhile, Chang Lin is also surprised to receive a gift from Lu Xia.
