Chapter 46
46 Mind Remembers, Body Not!!
~SPLASH~
Yang Ning closed her eyes and took a deep breath before jumping into the lake. The lake water was partially green and looked deep.
She was scared and nervous at first but upon remembering the change it can bring in her life, she did not hesitate for a moment and jumped into the cold water Lake anyway.
A few moments passed by and her body slowly started to sink into the deep water.
Since she was sure that she wanted to die, she held her breath and tried her best to not move around as she wanted to drown and die as soon as possible.
She opened her eyes under the water and couldn’t see anything. The fear of death started to settle in her heart when she could not see anything under the water and it was getting difficult for her to hold onto her breath as well.
‘AM I GOING TO DIE FOR REAL?’
‘WHAT IF I COULD NOT RETURN TO MY WORLD EVEN AFTER GOING THROUGH ALL OF THIS AND DIE IN VAIN?’ Such thoughts started to cloud Yang Ning’s mind.
‘NO! I CAN’T DIE. NOT LIKE THIS AT THE LEAST. I WANT TO LIVE. I CAN’T DIE.’ Yang Ning decided as she does not want to die a cowardly death.
.....
Until she finds a definite solution to this mystery, she will not die. She cannot put her life in danger for a meager suspicion.
After changing her mind, Yang Ning decided to swim through the lake and reach the shore.
She started to move her hands and legs underwater but was shocked when she could not swim up.
WHAT IS THIS? SHE KNOWS HOW TO SWIM THEN WHY IS SHE NOT ABLE TO SWIM?
WHAT THE HELL??
The panic started to settle in her heart as she was doing her best to swim under the water but her weak body was not helping her at all.
She was moving her hands and legs but this dress is too long and heavy for her to swim in it. Not only that, Yang Ning’s body seems to be too weak and useless for her to swim up to the shores.
Her mind remembers it but this body doesn’t. Damn it!
Soon Yang Ning stopped flapping her hands under the water as there was no more energy left in her.
Her body started sinking in and she started to lose consciousness. The dark green water soon turned into complete darkness.
‘Am I going to die for real?’ She thought for the last time before closing her eyes and leaving her life in the hands of her pitiful fate.

“Did you say that the wild bear has been seen in this area the last time?” Zheng Liang asked the head of the Imperial Police Department as they walked toward the lakeside area.
Today he came to inspect the area where the bear has been seen the last time. The bear roaming around the capital city can not only be dangerous but also create panic and fear among the people.
As the Crown Prince of the Empire, his responsibility is not only to rule his subjects but to also protect them.
That’s why as the Crown Prince of the Empire, he took the responsibility of this case into his hands. Along with the head police officer, he was also working hard to catch the bear for the past few days.
” Yes, Your Highness. Generally, the bears who live in the forests do not come to the residential area but this bear has not only come to the area where humans reside but has also killed 5 people already and has injured 10 people fatally.” The officer said.
” If we fail to catch him soon, then the number of such cases will only increase and will induce fear and panic in the hearts of the commoners.” The head of the police department, who was in charge of this case, answered seriously.
Zheng Liang, who was standing near the lakeside area, pursed his lips and said, ” If the bear has been seen in this area the last time, then make sure to seal this area properly so that no one is hurt.”
“Also, arrange the guards to patrol around this area day and night to find the bear sooner. If we find it soon-” His words were interrupted when he stepped on something.
He frowned and squatted down to pick up the hairpin that was on the ground.
A lady’s hairpin? In this area? He wondered while carefully observing the wooden hairpin that has beautifully carved flowers on it. It wasn’t expensive but unique and beautiful.
It was like a piece of art.
Why does this look so familiar? Zheng Liang couldn’t hear the words of the Head of the police department as his full attention was on the hairpin that he was holding in his hands.
His eyebrows raised in surprise when he realized that this hairpin belongs to Lady Yang Ning.
It was the same hairpin that she was wearing the day he went to the Yang Household and she was lying unconscious on the bed.
How come he remembers even the tiniest detail about her? He suddenly felt a gush of goosebumps all over his body when he remembered everything about her.
‘But...what is this Hairpin doing here?’ He wondered while caressing the hairpin as if it were a precious treasure.
However, before he could figure out how this hairpin came to the lakeside area, one of the guards who came with the Head police officer to patrol around the area shouted, ” HERE! SOMEONE IS DROWNING IN THE LAKE.”
Zheng Liang’s eyes widened in shock when he heard that someone was drowning in the lake.
“WHAT? SOMEONE IS DROWNING? IS IT A PERSON OR A BEA-” The head police officer tried to ask about the situation without moving. He wanted to know if it was a person or a bear.
If it’s just a person, then the guards were enough to deal with the situation. It was just a small matter. Why would he be bothered to involve himself in such a small matter?
However, if it’s a bear, then he should go ahead and deal with the bear problem to come into the good books of the Crown Prince.
“You Highness, we should-” Before he could resume his conversation with the Crown Prince, Zheng Liang disappeared from his side and ran to see the person who was drowning in the lake.
“This....” Zheng Liang pursed his lips when he realized that the person drowning in the lake was a woman.
The Hairpin and the drowning woman. Is it- The sudden realization hit him when he tried to put two things together.
~SPLASH~
The guards who were preparing to jump into the lake water to save the woman were caught off guard when Zheng Liang jumped into the water out of nowhere.
“YOUR HIGHNESS!!” They shouted in unison, worried that if something happened to the Crown Prince, His Majesty would not spare anyone.
Gu Lan, who was following Zheng Liang, was confused and lost when he suddenly jumped into the lake. There are so many guards standing here, why did he jump in the water himself?
WHYY?
