"Oh my empress, this servant thought you wouldn't wakeup..." She said wiping her tears. "Yeah well I'm fine..." I said stretching my body and then it hit me. I quickly sat up. "Wait... what did you say? What did you call me?" I asked the girl. "My empress... This servant is really sorry your highness... this servant didn't think you would wake up after last night. You were pale and didn't look well.... But this servant so happy now..." She said with a face splitting wide smile. "Empress" I muttered to myself. "EMPRESS" then yelled. The girl looked at me confused and nodded. "EMPRESS WHO???" I shouted. And then it hit me for the second time. I wasn't speaking English. It was Chinese. I was speaking Chinese. ---------------------- "No way in the hell I would experience all the palace dramas like in those books." "That stupid emperor can go to hell"
