Morning came. The moment Sheri opens her eyes. Lou Xi is looking at her smiling.
"Your highness, it's bad to stare at me like that early in the morning. And what are you doing in my room? Sheri said while yawning.
Lou Xi just smiles at her.
When she thoroughly opens her eyes, she saw she's not in her room.
"What the... Where am I? " Sheri asked.
"You're terrible at sleeping. You even drool, that is not fitting for a soon to be an empress. " Lou Xi gently shakes his head. Diverting her direct question.
"Ah shut up," Sheri said and stretches up.
"Wai, where are we? How did I end up here? Sheri said while getting out of bed and look at Lou Xi. The last thing she remembers is when her father asked her to have tea with him. When Sheri remembers it. Her mouth twitches.
"That old man will pay." that was Sheri thought.
Lou Xi grinned triumphantly. Sheri walked toward the ornate window and when she gently opens she saw they are in a cave.
"What the... Is this a cave?" She looked at Lou Xi with a shocked. She looked back at the window and saw it's a beautiful cave surrounded with exotic flowers.
"You freakin' build a house in a cave! Unbelievable." said while her eyes were wide open.
Lou Xi smiles while looking at her. He brings out a beautiful necklace and hangs it in front of her.
Sheri was looking at it. She was astonished. It looks like the necklace that she owned on her own world that was passed down by her forefathers.
She keeps on observing and observing suddenly a burst of familiar images entered her mind. After a while. She froze. She recalls something so valuable toward her.
The mechanical voice suddenly speaks.
"Red alert, red alert. Host mission aborts. Mission aborts. This mission has been jeopardized. You will be taken in 3...2...
"If you take her away. I will make certain every mission they give you will be corrupted." Lou Xi speaks up.
Sheri looked at Lou Xi
Sheri can hear a disruptive sound for a few minutes until it becomes so faint.
She was tearing up by looking at him.
"How..." Sheri choked with her words.
" I told you I would find you." He slowly wipes her tears.
" I found you this time and will not allow anyone to separate us." Lou Xi said.
"I've missed you," Sheri said while crying.
"Me too." He declared and slowly kisses her.
Sheri responded back. Lou Xi gradually breaks their kiss.
"At long last, I can hold you in my arms again." Lou Xi said.
"How did this happen?" Sheri asked while looking at his eyes.
"The pendant your holding. It seems it connects to an altered universe. I've been trying to find you. Somehow that pendant is linked to you." Lou Xi said.
