Lory was carried by Zhao Li Xin all the way to their Manor, the warm from his embrace and the cold breeze make her doze off when they arrived at the manor Lory already fell asleep, the corner of his mouth slightly curved upwards, the servants and housekeeper wants to greet him but Zhao Li Xin reprimand them with his cold glare.

When they see Lory sleep peacefully in Zhao Li Xin's embrace they immediately hold they're tongue, Zhao Li Xin make a long stride to they're conjoined room, he stops for the moment to decide where he has to put her, his bed or hers? After contemplating for two seconds he put Lory on his bed, maybe its because his possessive nature toward her Zhao Li Xin wants her to be as close as possible if Lory let him, he wouldn't mind carry her everywhere with him, unfortunately, she refuses strongly.

Zhao Li Xin put her down gently on the bed then he takes off her shoes and her outer robes than he cover her with blanket, Lory shift her body to the side and pull the blanket to her chin than she snores faintly, Zhao Li Xin heart turn to mush just by looking at her sleeping so peacefully.

Zhao Li Xin sits on the bedside, he tugs her hair behind her ear, Lory suddenly squeezes the blanket and mumbling "Lucas…please...."

Zhao Li Xin frowned, he caresses her cheek softly with his long fingers the warm from his touch calm her down and her breathing become stable again, almost every night Lory would have nightmare sometimes she mumbling with the language he couldn't understand, sometimes she's crying in her sleep when that happened he would embrace her in her sleep that's why in the morning Lory always find him beside her.

She always asked him why he's watching her sleeping is he not feel bored, but Zhao Li Xin never told her the real reason he was there is because he doesn't want her to cry all alone in her sleep although he can't do this every night, but he tries to be there as much as he could.

Someone lightly knocks on the door, the knock is so light so only Zhao Li Xin could hear. He pulls down the bed curtain to cover her than he slowly opens the door, Mong Ki cupped his fist than he whispers to him "The third prince is here"

Zhao Li Xin nods his head solemnly, he closes the door than he transfer his qi to the bird statue that hanging on the top of the front door the eyes of the bird glowing with red light and red transparent shell engulf the whole room, Zhao Li Xin activated his array so no one can get in when Lory is sleeping inside.

After he sure she's safe, he turns around and walks away with Mong Ki. Girsha was perch on the tree branch watch Zhao Li Xin figure disappeared behind the moon gate courtyard, he flapped his wings than he turns to white orbs and he slips to the room without a problem, Girsha landed smoothly on the lavish pillow he used to sleep courtesy of the tree beast.

Girsha could feel the array surrounding the room, the array will not react to him because the binding soul between her and Lory, the array can't recognize him the array might be taught he is Lory or at least some part of her so the array didn't reject him.

Girsha looks satisfied with the array that protected his princess [Not bad boy…] he stifles than he snuggles on his pillow.
