"Do you have to ask for something?" Mo Lichen questioned as his gaze was on Lu Yan. who questioned him. Mo Lichen moved toward the bed and sat there. He roams in the market since the morning and his body needs rest to function.

Lu Yan noticed what he was doing and reached Mo Lichen's side to help him. ​​

As Mo Lichen tried to take off his upper royal robe.

"Why, his highness requests for a mere servant? It's different from what the master did." Lu Yan helped him to take off the robe and put that on the nearby furniture. He has known his master for a long time. There must be a reason for asking a young man to serve him. When he stayed in the kingdom. Otherwise, his master never did such stuff to manipulate someone. Who irritates him, He thought back to how Linxiao had done in the market.

Would the master think to bully a young man? As his servant.

No..it's impossible, Master would not do the things. As he could not afford to waste his precious time to cosplay with a servant.

It must be another matter. He had believed in his master. Lu Yan reached the conclusion.

"I also want to know." Mo Lichen sat down and looked dazed like he was lost somewhere. He was not like himself. When he blurted out.

"His highness!" Lu Yan proclaims his master to take him away from dizziness.

"Is something bothering his highness?" Lu Yan asked to get closer to him as he was concerned for his master. It seems like... he can't express it in words. What he should tell his master.

Mo Lichen's black eyes had a blank expression. It seemed after listening to Lu Yan; he came to his senses, shook his head and said.

"Nothing! There are no issues. I am tired, I just need some rest," Mo Lichen signed, taking a long deep breath, keeping his hand on his beating heart. He closed his eyes as he was in severe pain.

Lu Yan looked at his master who was behaving unusually out of the blue. If something in his mind was bothering him.

What should bother His highness? Is it something connected to the business for which His highness had come to Dongfang kingdom? Lu Yan wondered, sensing what Mo Lichen had said was true. Though he saw his master, setting in motion for rest.

Did his highness want to rest? When did Mo Lichen need rest for this little thing he did?

How could Mo Lichen be restless? Only with a slight walk-in Dongfang's market street. When he could cross the entire Mountain getting no rest.

Lu Yan did not dare to ask Mo Lichen.

A strange feeling rising in Mo Lichen's heart. As he wasn't able to evaluate what truly he was feeling? A pain, anger, or something strange in his heart.

This kind of feeling was something he felt for the first time in his life. Which he can't estimate, and explained in words.

"Yes, highness!" watching Mo Lichen lean back on the bedrest to take a rest. Lu Yan thought it was best to leave his master for now. He had no heart to disturb his rest.

"You should take some rest, I will be there after some time," informed Lu Yan and left the chamber. leaving Mo Lichen alone as he went to his assigned room near Mo Lichens.

"Why do I feel like someone is stabbing me? and my heart was going to tear apart with the strange pain," Stretching his hand out, which was resting on the bed as his back supported him and he lay down on the bed. Mo Lichen kept his right palm in his loudly beating chest. Which he could hear with his sharp ears.

Mo Lichen recalls his first encounter with the young man. Whom he met today many times.

"When I saw in his deep eyes, I felt something different, as his alluring gaze looked intimidating to me. But when I try to look deep into those eyes. I don't know what happened to me. I felt immense anger inside my body gazing into his deep eyes." Mo Lichen muttered under his breath and shifted to the other side, but his thoughts were racing with his mind. Like he was fighting with a demon hidden inside him.

He wants to strangle the young man in his palm.

Mo Lichen's turning and shifting in the bed was useless. He could not help but Linxiao's male disguise occupied his mind.

At the end, not able to take a rest, he sat back.

His demeanour was different; it seemed no one could reach him.

He leaned his head and placed his palm over his face, as his big size palm had covered his entire handsome feature, behind those long fingers.

Withdrawing his hand above his face, he concluded.

"Something was unusual and odd about the man. He claimed to be a servant but, I felt he was hiding something. His identity is suspicious." Mo Lichen suspected Linxiao to be a forgery servant, because of her strange behaviour. Mo Lichen rises from the bed, and his eyes fall to the window. He went there, taking his steps towards the window saturated in his chamber. As he needs fresh air to clear the mess out of his head. Which he felt was because of Xiao Tong, as Linxiao, who dressed in the man's attire.

Mo Lichen needs to calm himself from the feeling of restlessness.

When Mo Lichen reached the enormous window from where he could view almost half of the area of the place. His sight captured Lin Feng. Who stood on the other side of the courtyard, conversing with a girl. Who dressed in a light pink colour. Mo Lichen did not know the girl as her back was facing him.

In the evening, at the time of sundown, the entire place was warm and an icy breeze in the warm sunset touched his face. Turning, Mo Lichen calm and away from Linxiao thought. As his sight fell on the fluttering black hair of the girl in the air.

Nevertheless, Lin Feng was talking to Linxiao. He noticed Mo Lichen standing at the window. Who was looking at him.

He nodded in Mo Lichen's direction and smiled a little. After that, he focused back on the discussion with Linxiao. It seemed they were in serious conversation, as Lin Feng's persona varied from his usual self whenever he was with Linxiao.

Mo Lichen did not take his eyes back from the Linxiao figure. He was still staring at her back.

Did he think he had already met the girl? Or did he recognise Linxiao from her back?

Lin Feng's eye again went towards Mo Lichen. Noticing Lin Feng's attention was not on her but instead, behind her, Linxiao turned her head to see where Lin Feng was staring.

Just as Linxiao glanced at Mo Lichen, posed in the window. Mo Lichen saw the mesmerising face of Linxiao which came to his view. Mo Lichen is taken back what he saw. His heart skipped a beat and his eyes were staring at the dedicated figure of Linxiao. He was not able to take his eyes off her. Her rosy thin lips and the pinkish cheek, long nose and sliding hairs, because of the air.

Mo Lichen did not understand what happened to him. Without his awareness, his lips curled upward as a slight smile painted on his face by observing Linxiao in the woman's attire. She had worn a baby pink colour royal dress and her black long hair fall on her waist.

'How could a person look like this?' Mo Lichen wondered in his heart.

However, Linxiao glared back at Mo Lichen with a grim expression as she was ready to punch him in a moment if she could. Not liking to appear into his view and before Mo Lichen would become suspicious of her, Linxiao tilted her head back to Lin Feng.

In this brief moment of sight, Mo Lichen felt too many complicated emotions in just a few seconds. That he could not describe.
