"We hurt each other too much! We are not meant to be! I dare not marry you!" The woman said in his dream and walked away from him.

"What do you mean? I do not understand..." He replied but she made her walk even faster and finally ran away.

"No! Don't go!!!" He shouted and ran towards her but no matter how hard he runs she always drifted away from him. "Come back!!!"

Prince Andrew woke up from another sweet dream that turned into a nightmare. His body is trickling with beads of cold sweat. He feels cold all over his body. His heart beats so fast he could hardly breathe! He is so scared! He did not see scary beings or violent scenes but he felt so helpless and scared! He is panting while trembling.

I dreamed of her again... The pain and fear worsen... This feeling of being left alone...

He clutched his chest to ease the pain, fear, and discomfort in his heart as he remembered the details of his bad dream.

He started dreaming about her when he was six years old. In his dream, he saw this pretty little girl smiling at him and his young heart beats faster for the first time!

Prince Andrew always dreamed of her. It is different every time. He dreamed that they play together, study together, eat together, and spend happy moments in life together. He feels so happy in his dreams! His life seems complete and perfect in his dreams because of her...

When he grew up, the girl in his dreams also grew up into a beauty who could topple nations! In his dreams, he feels so jealous whenever she talks to other men, smiles at other men, spends time with other men, glances at other men, and appreciates other men so he always tells her in his dreams that she should only love and marry him! No one else!

Usually, she will only smile and walk away. He will chase her then hold her hand tightly and never let go... His dreams usually end that way but the nightmare started a year ago specifically the night before the wedding of General Ardor's daughter and this person called Zander King.

Because of these dreams that turned into nightmares, he could no longer sleep, eat, and think properly so even when his Father Emperor yelled in the court meeting yesterday. He is still not in the mood to participate. He just sit there and did not even listen properly most of the time. His interest was only awakened when this new Minister Zander King begin to explain the details of his solution to the current serious problem.

His brow furrowed when he discovered that this Zander King is suggesting a plan so close to his prepared plan! A plan that he prepared four months ago but still lacking in some parts. He decided that he will present it to his Imperial Father when it is completely done but this Minister Zander King can do it in just one night?!!

He looked at the surroundings and realized that it is already dawn. He needs to attend another court meeting and see what this person named Zander King could offer.

Prince Andrew passed by Prince Anders' Mansion and decided to visit first since it is still very early. They could go together to the court meeting. He is surprised when he heard that his brother is still sleeping?!!

Why?! Anders is usually very early too...

He worriedly went inside his brother's bedroom. Upon seeing that his brother is smiling sweetly in his sleep, he could not help but feel so annoyed! He is suffering from nightmares while this twin brother seems to be having sweet dreams!

He obtained one of the big pillows and mercilessly struck his brother's face to wake him up!

"We grew up together so we do have a lot of happy memories. From the moment I saw you, I knew that you will be my special someone someday. Day by day, you always treat me right. You never asked for anything in return. You are always there for me so I guess the time has come for me to be there for you too..." She happily smiled as she looked at him "Prince Anders, will you let me be the person to marry you and grow old with you?"

He happily smiled and wants to say "Yes" but something struck his face hard and he was forced to wake up! The beauty's face disintegrates and was replaced by his brother's annoying face!

"Why did you wake me up?!! I was this close! So close!" He yelled angrily at his brother and even used his thumb and index finger to indicate how close he is to getting what he wants in his dream.

"You should prepare now or Imperial Father will be mad at you for being late!"

"Just tell Imperial Father that I am sick or dead! Why do you have to come here and interrupt someone's beautiful dream?!!" He angrily rebuffed because his sweet dream was interrupted by this insufferable jerk brother!
