Bab 11: The Nightmare is her REALITY.

" Aiyyaa!! What just happened? I was so scared earlier. How come the Crown Prince was at our place?" After Zheng He left, Chang Ah plopped on the ground weakly as her wobbly legs gave up to her fear. She was so scared earlier to face the coldness of the Crown Prince that it was so hard for her to keep standing on her legs.

Yang Luoyang frowned to see Chang Ah on the ground weakly, who was being helped by her personal maid now. " Today you almost got everyone here killed because of this sharp tongue of yours. How can you think of threatening the life of the Crown Prince? Huh?"

" DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? If the Crown Prince tattletale about this incident to His Majesty, the engagement between the two families could be at risk." He said.

Chang Ah pursed her lips in embarrassment and replied meekly in a weak voice, " I only said that because he was being rude to you and you weren't saying anything to him. How can I know that he is the Crown Prince? It was my first time seeing him."

Yang Luoyang shook his head and turned to Xiaowei who was kneeling on the ground, " You!! I will deal with you later." He warned her, causing Xiaowei to clench her fists in fear. Even though the Crown Prince took her side earlier, she cannot be sure about the anger of Lord Yang.

He seems to be more enraged than before. Is he gonna punish her and her lady severely after the banquet?

***

A few hours later-

Xiaowei pursed her lips as she looked at the pale and sickly Yang Ning, who was still deep in her sleep. The sun has risen in the sky and the world outside has gotten brighter and the eerie dark night has finally passed.

However, Yang Ning is still lost in her deep slumber. After the physician gave her the medicine, her pain reduced to some extent and the fever subsided as well.

However, she still hasn't gotten well yet. She has a mild fever and needs plenty of rest to rejuvenate her energy.

Today is the Celebration Banquet Day and despite Yang Ning's condition, she was ordered to wake her up and get her dressed for the Celebration Banquet which is going to commence in a few hours.

After the huge drama last night, she had assumed that Lord Yang Luoyang might agree to the words of the Crown Prince and let her lady rest for the day and not force her to attend the Banquet.

However, she was wrong!

At dawn, the senior maid visited the chamber of Yang Ning with the dress and the accessories that she was supposed to wear to the Banquet today.

" Here! This is one of the expensive dresses from the wardrobe of the Madam. So don't you dare ruin the precious dress and handle it with care. Your lady should be grateful that our Mistress has given her the most expensive and beautiful dress from her wardrobe to let her wear it for the Celebration Banquet." The Senior Lady commented as she gave the handed-down dress of Chang Ah to Xiaowei.

Although the dress does belong to Chang Ah's wardrobe, it is not one of the expensive dresses as the senior maid had claimed. It was the least wanted and cheap dress that Chang Ah owns and was wishing to throw it away anyway.

And this opportunity seems the best to do a good deed and throw away her unwanted dress at the same time.

Xiaowei took the dress from her but wasn't sure if she should feel grateful for it or bad for her lady. She is the eldest daughter of the Yang Family, who belongs to one of the richest-noble families in the capital city.

Yet she was given a handed-down dress of the Mistress to wear to such an important banquet like today.

" How can my lady attend the Banquet today? She is still weak and feverish. Also, didn't the Crown Prince allow her to not attend the Banquet today? Then why…" Xiaowei gritted her teeth once again and asked the Senior Maid, whose expressions turned dark in an instant.

" Hah! You still haven't learned the lesson, do you? Can you see the Crown Prince here? No, right? Then just do as you were told. Don't run your mouth unnecessarily. Do you get it?" The Senior Maid eyed the young maid and left the chamber after putting her in her place.

Xiaowei sighed heavily as she tried to shake the shoulders of Yang Ning, who was lost in a deep slumber, " Miss. Miss."

" Miss, Please wake up. The sun is already high up in the sky."

" If you keep sleeping like this, you will be late for the banquet." Xiaowei raised her voice a bit louder and tried to wake up Yang Ning from her sleep.

She was feeling bad to wake her up like this, but she had no choice either.

It was the order of the Lord Yang Luoyang that even Yang Ning cannot dare to go against it. How can she, a mere maid like her, go against him?

" Argh….it's Hot. Who the hell switched off the air conditioner?"

" Turn it back on. NOW!!" Fang Li shouted in her sleep as she kicked the blanket off her and tugged at the collar of her dress to remove it.

Xiaowei was shocked to see such ungraceful and unwomanly actions of her lady. Since when did her feminine and graceful lady start to act like a thug who doesn't know anything about noble lady's etiquettes?

"MISS!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? HOW CAN YOU UNBUTTON YOUR DRESS LIKE THIS?" Xiaowei was horrified when Yang Ning tried to undo her night dress's buttons in her sleep and tried to remove her clothes. Even if she is feeling hot, how can she do that?

Before this, no matter how hot the weather was, Yang Ning had never acted like this. Not even her sleep.

'Then why is she acting so differently now?' Xiaowei wondered in disbelief as she tried to hold onto Yang Ning's wrists, preventing her from undoing her buttons again.

Fang Li, who was lost in a deep sleep, her eyes snapped open immediately upon hearing the screeching, scared voice of Xiaowei.

However, rather than reacting shocked like last time, she was simply amused.

She pursed her lips in a thin line and blinked to see the scarily familiar red-stoned ceiling once again. " Hah! So….it wasn't a dream? " She scoffed in amusement.

While she was sleeping, she had a dream, in which she was back in her world and was sleeping in her dorm. She thought that all of it was a dream. A fuc*ing nightmare.

However, it seems like that nightmare is going to become her reality. A scary REALITY.
