Freen rested on her own room. This is the first she came and laid down on her own bed since Becky came. Because most of the days and nights went by looking through the window at the town. Since Becky came freen started feeling something different. The same feelings she had looking out the window at the town.

She was looking at the town again. But it was very very very away even for her supervision.

Suddenly she heard a knock on the door.

" Princess!" When freen heard the voice she jumped up from her bed and with a lightning speed she ran to the door.

She opened the door sure enough it was nam.

" How are you? What took you so long?"
Freen said when she saw nam.

" I am okay! It's just it was already after midnight that I reached the town. I was able to enter her house that night but it was already dawn when I finished my investigation. So I stayed in a motel there." Said nam.

" Motel? What is that?" Asked freen.

" It's like hotels but it's easier to book a room in the motel. And you can check in and out anytime you want." Nam explained.

Freen then let her sit and settle down before inquiring about the little girl.

" Now tell me about the little girl." Freen said when nam was settled down on a comfortable couch.

" She is not a little girl anymore, I think. She grew up. I only got one photo of her but it was from her childhood."


Nam showed photos of the girl she took from the house.

" She is cute!she looks very familiar! Looks like I have met her." Freen said looking at the photo. 

" She is. But she must have grown into a beautiful woman now. It's the same from the last time I went their. The house seemed to be in distress. I used my short distance teleportation to enter the house but.... The house was very silent like umm.. someone...died there it was almost late mid night. But still the father was up going back and forth in the living room. The mother was crying." Said nam with a frown.

" Who died?" Asked freen with great interest.

" I don't know. Everyone seemed to be there expect the.." nam stopped when she realised what it indicated.

It didn't take much time for freen to realise to.

" No,... No...not her too. How much slower time travels in this castle? I thought she had time... Why does it had to be her? Not her too!" Freen quickly got disappointed. And started panicking.

" Princess! It could've been that she married and left the town! So her parents were stressed." Said nam.

" Parents don't get sad after marrying off their kids." Freen said while her tears fell down her cheeks. Her pale cheeks became wet with her tears.

" Princess, let's not be discouraged. She is okay! She must be okay. I actually bought something things from the town. And also brought somethings from the little girl's room. One thing! Every book I took had her name written on it. But I couldn't read it. It's written in a strange language." Said nam.

" Hummm" freen calm down a bit and then said, " becky she came from the town she can tell us what this wired language is." Said freen with a smile.

Seeing a smile appearing on freen's face nam smiled too.
But then the smile disappeared too.

When freen realised that she can't face Becky anymore. Everytime she faces Becky some wired feelings take over her heart. She can't think straight anymore. So she said to nam." Tomorrow you go and ask her about these books."

.....

Next day nam went to see Becky first thing in the morning.

On the other hand becky couldn't sleep the whole night after she heard freen almost confess her love.

She was looking outside at the sunrise. Her peace was disturbed by a knock on the door.

" P'freen!" She happily turned around to see nam standing with a big bag filled with books.

" Wow! P'nam! What's all of these?" Asked becky when she saw nam carrying two big bags.

" It's books. I went to the town. And brought these for you. Since all the books in the castle are about to become dusk." Said nam.

" How long are you guys planning to keep me here? Why did you brought so many books.?" Becky said laughing.

"Auuu!" Said nam when she realised that becky is here for another thirteen days. Although becky doesn't know that yet.

" I don't know what kinds of books do you like." Nam laughed humourlessly at Becky. Then put books on the table.

Becky excitedly looked through the books but quickly realised all of those books belongs to none other then her.

She looked through each book carefully to find that all of those books had her name written on them with her own hands.

Rebecca Armstrong.,.. (in English)

Like she always used to mark her books. Because one time her brother tore off some pages of her book, but she was unable to prove that the book belonged to her so she started to write her name on the books thereafter.

" Where did you found these books? P'nam." Becky said with confusion.

" Why do you ask?" Said nam.

" These are my books !" Becky showed her name written on them. " Here! It's my name. Rebecca Armstrong! I wrote them. Every time I bought a book I wrote my name on it."  Her tears started to flow remembering every memory she had with each book. Her parents, her brother her little corner in her room that she used to read these books in the middle of the night with her night lamp on by the window. Some time in the middle she used to look up into the dark where she would see another yellow light shining in the dark. That was probably in this castle.

When she first saw it she thought the light was the eye of the monster in that castle. When is asked her mom. Her mom conformed it. But then as time passed she seemed to get attracted by the light just like a moth tries to find the light even if some time it leads her to her dead. Still she draws to the light by some kind of mysterious force. Becky felt that connection with that light that she imagined as a lonely princess locked in that castle waiting for her prince to come and rescue her. The darkness of the night felt like the longing of the princess's heart. Without her knowledge Becky fell in love with that unseen beautiful princess just like a moth falls in love with a light.

Becky remembered everything.

" Becky these are your books?" Asked nam.

" Yes! P'nam these are my books."

Nam felt like the world crumbling infront of her. " Is this world that small? Or this world really round like they say?" Thought nam.

Oh! What can she do now? If freen learns that her north star is none other becky she will do anything in her power to save her. But if freen saves her freen with have to bare the consequences of the Gods and mostly faye.

Becky is supposed to be faye's bride now if faye learns that Becky is in love with freen she will eliminate freen from her way to win Becky.

Nam couldn't wrap her head around all of these. Her loyalty to freen was in question. If she told the truth about becky being the north star freen be punished and if she hides this truth from freen she will deceive freen.

One way or another nam's loyalty to freen will be challenged, but in one of these scenario freen will live.

So she chose that and said to Becky, " I found them at a second hand book store. The owner said an old English donated them. Cause he didn't needed them anymore." Said nam.

" Dad?" Becky fell to the floor and sat down.

" Becky!" Nam quickly got down to the floor to console her.

" Dad donated them. He donated my books?.." Becky thought her parents already trying to get rid of her memory felt saden and discouraged.
