Beatrix opened her eyes. She woke up from another strange dream, feeling very sad and hurt. Just like the first one, this strange dream evoked an emotional outburst from her! Her heart is aching too much, making her tears flow like a river, clouding her vision as well as her state of mind...

She remained crying miserably, all of her hidden emotions are trying to escape... All the feelings that she could not express while watching inside dream finally escape! Her body trembled as a soft sob escaped from her mouth...

Why does everything look so real? Why do I know what they are thinking? Why can I feel their emotions? It does not make any sense! Andrew... Anders... Did all of that happen? Did I unintentionally hurt both of you so badly? Is it real or just a stupid dream? I hope it is just a dream because if it is real then I am not the only one who suffered so much!

She inhaled deeply as she tried to calm down and clear her mind. When she is finally relaxed and focused, she is surprised that instead of a roof made of leaves and branches, she is currently seeing a luxurious top of a purple canopy bed!

Am I dreaming again? Is this a dream inside another dream?

She blinked her eyes several times to make sure that she is not hallucinating but the vision remains the same! She turned her head, checked her surroundings, and realized that she is in a very luxurious bedroom fit for a member of the Solaris imperial family! She sees a purple canopy bed, purple curtains, purple-inspired walls, and purple exquisite things. She is both worried and amazed to see this rare color everywhere!

Another thing that caught her interest is the unique depiction on the wall. It is a purple sun with twelve purple zigzag rays extending in all directions... The purple color and this depiction on the wall are symbols of the Solaris imperial family! These two symbols can only be found on Solaris Imperial Palace, Solaris Imperial Seal, Solaris Imperial Flags, and Solaris Imperial Robes which only the Emperor and Empress of Solaris can wear!

I am in Solaris Imperial Palace... But why?

She mentally compared it to Sky Empire's blue color symbol depicting male and female sky dragons intertwining and flying to the blue sky! She sat upright and decided to stand up and observe the room. Everything from floor to ceiling is very detailed and intriguing! All the objects are exquisitely crafted and the designs are amazing! She became happier and extremely excited that she almost tripped when she stepped too fast and accidentally stepped on the hem of her dress! When she checked, she realized that she is no longer wearing a man's comfortable clothing but wearing an intricately designed purple feminine robe!!!

Well, at least this dress does not have the Solaris imperial symbol because if it did, I will immediately strip! It is better to use the bedsheets than be accused of pretending to be the Empress of Solaris empire which will result in execution!!!

Anyone can wear purple clothing but usually, only members of the Solaris imperial family use purple because purple textile is extremely valuable and expensive! A single purple handkerchief is equivalent to the cost of ten cities of Sky Empire! It is truly outrageous and seems impractical to purchase and own one purple clothing but now she is wearing a pure purple robe that usually members of the imperial family of Solaris Empire would bother to have!

Who lend me this very beautiful and overly expensive dress?!!

She realized that she is in the Solaris Empire now but the question is why is she inside the Solaris Imperial Palace and wearing a purple imperial robe that is usually worn by members of the Solaris imperial family?

Finally, her questions were answered when she saw a familiar face wearing a pure purple imperial robe with the Solaris imperial symbol on it! She immediately realized his identity because his clothing is screaming: 'I am the Emperor of Solaris Empire!'.

"You are Emperor Valentine Solaris!" She immediately exclaimed.

"Yes, I am." He smiled excitedly. "I am glad you figure it out."

"Why you did not tell me?" She suspiciously asked.

"Because I want you to see me as an ordinary person and act in front of me naturally... As far as I know, you also did not tell me who you are..." He playfully explained, making the situation seem even to both of them.

"You knew? When?" She immediately probed further.

"From the second time I saw you..." He told her honestly.

"Second time? What do you mean?" She curiously asked for more details.

"I do not know if you can still remember but we already met when we were younger... It was during the time my family and I visited the Sky Empire's Palace..." He slowly told her, trying to make her remember their brief encounter.
