Leap Dream (Love From Another World)
BREAKFASTS
My room has become bigger than before, well I've moved into the guest room. There is no need to pay attention to my waking hours anymore, and here I am served no longer as a servant.
Yesterday after negotiating with the emperor I returned to Calista's room.
“What are you talking about? Your Majesty doesn't make it difficult for you, does he?”
“No, he just said to continue to be by his side.”
“Is that really all?” Calista investigated
“Well, that's it and he gave me permission to go in and out of the palace library as I please.”
“It looks like Your Highness really likes you Hana, permission to go in and out of the library is not given as easily as it”
I smiled, ‘of course it is not easy, I have to play the role of his companion and make Maura make a mistake’
The servant whom the emperor sent to serve me led me to the guest room which I had no idea of. We got to the front of the room with two door leaves, about the same size as Calista's room, only here had a few guards. I went into my new bedroom, straight into a big, soft bed. ‘ah is very comfortable indeed very different away from the bed of a small and hard waitress’
I opened the wardrobe and some clothes are available, but I do not like clothes that are too luxurious and wear it is difficult. ‘I will ask the emperor to sew clothes with models like my clothes yesterday’
“Nona, the third prince wants to meet you.” said the waiter I know his name Kin
‘Usually he goes straight in, why is it so polite now?’ I let Rey in
“I've heard it, is it true that the emperor wants to make you his concubine?” Without further ado, he asked me
‘How's this news been spreading so fast?’
“Well as you heard.” I told Ana to leave us both
“I know it's the emperor's plan but I don't agree if you're the bait.”
“Rey.. is this because your guilt left me when you were needed?”
Rey was silent. Of course he felt guilty, and because of that incident I was used as bait to catch the original perpetrators to the whip for dealing with the demons.
“I just don't want you to get hurt. You're myfriend. I brought you into the palace and because of me also you became involved in the internal problems of palace”
“Just calm Rey, I can take care of myself. Why don't you teach me how to use a sword again?”
“No I don't want, did you forget because that's also you suspected!”
“Haa Rey, don't discuss it again okay?”
“Alright, I just don't want you to get hurt, especially your feelings. I've never seen my brother like a woman other than my mother”
‘what is Rey worried about? Afraid I fell in love with the emperor and instead got hurt from unrequited love? Had you known Rey I'd been hurt enough by love and an expression of commitment before I found this world’
“Calm down, I won't fall in love with the emperor. I'm just helping him, and I'm giving a lesson to those who have always bullied Calista which I consider an entertainment for me”
“Alright. I trust you, but if you get hurt you can meet me to cover the wound”.
“puftt. since when can you say like a grown man hahah”
“Cih.. rest I will come out.” said Rey passed go out of the room. ‘If I were still like I used to be, I would misunderstand hearing your words it’
After Rey's departure, I was completely rested.

“Nona... His Majesty the Emperor invites you to breakfast with”.
“Well Kin help me decorate” have a waitress turns out to make affairs easier. Kin helped me thinly decorated, and tied up my hair. Of course I wear the clothes I used to wear, it makes me more comfortable.
I entered the room that was said to be the place for me to have breakfast.
“Greetings Your Highness.” I said politely to say hello
“Sit” reply short
The servants and guards exited the room after serving food on the table.
“Don't you have other clothes in the closet, why are you wearing them?”
“I don't like the clothes in the closet. I don't like the model. I prefer the clothes I wear now, more comfortable”
“Stop bye, as long as you're not wearing a waiter's outfit”
We had breakfast in silence, only the clanking of spoons and plates could be heard.
“What is your plan?” ask me to make a conversation
“You'll see later.”
“It looks like you know how the groove is.”
“What was this also done when Calista became a concubine?”
“Well, I took her out to eat together, but Calista wasn't as brave as you were, Maura scolded her and slapped her in the face, she couldn't resist. Therefore I cannot use it to upset Maura and make a mistake”
‘I'll reply to the slap he did to Calista’
“You're done eating?” I nodded “We went out of the room with” the Emperor took my hand to go out of the room to the garden near the concubine's palace.
The servants and guards looked towards us who looked friendly. Sure enough on the way to the park we met the target.
“Greetings Your Majesty.” Maura saluted and looked towards me and the emperor, I tightened my embrace in the emperor's arms. The emperor did not respond.
“Concubine Maura, have you had breakfast?”
“Not your business!”
“Your Majesty look, I just asked if she had breakfast just for pleasantries, as your future concubine instead of me having to be close to the other concubines?”
“Maura watch your words, she is no longer a servant, she is my guest and my future concubine” I sing a smile of victory
“I'm sorry Your Highness.” Maura apologized with an annoyed face
“Already Your Majesty, let's continue the journey” I passed Maura who was still down, and his servants who could not dwell in front of the emperor
‘what is this feeling of happiness when the actor wins from the legitimate wife?’
“How do you know how to treatment?”
“I learned from my aunt”, I answered briefly
“Aibi? Is your aunt a healer?”
“It looks like no, my aunt is just a drug maker.”
“Really?” I nodded ‘why is the emperor curious about my aunt?’
“I also learned treatment from buku”
“Book?” parrot emperor “Can't you not read? How did you learn it?”
“Hmm, that's because I can read his book”
The Emperor frowned at my answer, well I knew the answer I gave would be difficult for him to digest, but it was indeed the answer.
“You mean the treatment book you read is not like the writing in general?” his question clarified my answer
‘How not in general. The truth of the treatment book I read is writing in general, and your writing is not writing in general!’
“hmm may.”
“Cute me!” the Emperor pulled my hand to follow him, arriving at a room I had only seen for the first time. A few guards were at the door, and a person in neat clothes was like a eunuch but I don't think he was a eunuch welcoming us.
‘ini library palace!’ I looked around, a lot of books neatly arranged like the library of my time in elementary school. This library is not large with books arranged soaring, this is just a simple library like a school library and at the university but wider.
The Emperor brought me a bookcase with labels, Don't ask me what the writing is because I can't read! The Emperor took a book from the shelf and gave it to me.
“Can you read it?” I looked at the cover of the book, and opened a leaflet inside.
‘yah! I can read it!’ I'm so happy to see the writing I can read, you know how miserable I can't read and consider myself illiterate?
I nodded and read a few sentences in the book along with the title on the cover.
“You can read it, can you interpret it too?”
‘chi! he underestimated my English skills! Of course I know!’
I deciphered some of the sentences I read, and the emperor was silent.
“You really are a strange girl” said after listening to me read and decipher the writing in the book
‘chi! I haven't heard the word strange girl referring to me for a long time!’
“You can read ancient writings easily, but can not read the writing in general” I consider this a compliment.
“Thank you for the compliment Your Excellency.”
“From tomorrow I will bring in a teacher to teach you to read and write generally” the emperor said.
The emperor called the library guard and told him that I could go in and out of the palace library as I wished.
