Princess Katherine could no longer speak, only faint breaths, and a heart that was barely able to beat.
Xizeer stood by the bedside, expressionless, looking at Princess Katherine on the bed, now reduced to just bones.
He was 17 years old this year, returned to the Kang family when he was 5.
It's been 12 years since then, and in these 12 years, Xizeer never felt time passed slowly—rather, he felt it passed swiftly because he was happy every day, and happy days always seem to go by quickly. Now seeing Princess Katherine in this state, Xizeer suddenly realized that time had indeed gone by, long enough to drain all vitality from a person.
However, to date, Xizeer believed the most correct thing he did in his life was finding his way back home.
In his years at the Kang family, Xizeer occasionally thought of Princess Katherine at first, but later, he never thought of her again.
If it weren't for Princess Katherine's caretaker finding him, he might have forgotten about this woman.
