As Ellen laid down for the night she asked herself the question, the elderly man had earlier asked her (Do you like him or not and whether he's worth it or not) For the first question, she was sure that she like him but for the second question, 'Is it worth it?' She questioned herself 'Is he?' he's certainly worth it but what if I get hurt again what if the same thing happens once more? Will I be able to handle it? She became more and more gloomy and confused. She began to think deeper, when he rejected me earlier I really had thought of giving up and not liking him anymore he's not the only person in this world but once I saw him again I couldn't control myself but fall for him all over again not to mention it's getting stronger each day.
[Princess Ellen was very tired of this one-sided love and she didn't want to be the one to always be taking the initiative but her story with him would come to an end if she stopped taking initiative so she really had no other choice. And then no matter how bright she was, she did silly things when it comes to Avery, things she would never thought she would do as the Crown Princess. Ellen tend to think too much when it's about Avery this was why she became unsure if it was worth it. But the next day as she saw Avery she forgot about everything and became obsessed over him and fell into the same pit again. Giving him up? Hah! it was just to fall deeper each day.]
Princess Ellen and Avery traveled in a horse carriage and they decided thier first destination would be the 'Crystal Lake' which would be so beautiful with the water Lillies, hyacinth, lotus the white swans and they could go boating as well. As they reached the lake the scenery was breathtaking and Avery rushed towards it as he gasped " Wow! It's so beautiful" followed by a "Ahhhhh!!!" as he nearly fell into it.
He managed to stand on his feet but Ellen was so used to his recklessness without realization she had already grabbed hold of his waist which became an awkward situation. Princess Ellen plucked a White Lotus for Avery knowing it's meaning ( In the Kingdom of Tori a Woman giving a man a fresh White Lotus from the Lake means she's confessing her feelings for him, and legend has it that if you spend a night with your lover in the middle of the Crystal Lake your love can stand the test the test of time and you would be together till the end.) Avery accepted the White Lotus which was a sign that he accepted the Crown Princess’s feelings for him which made Ellen’s heart jump with joy and then without hesitation she asked Avery to spend the night with her in the middle of the Lake to which Avery was more than happy to agree.
It was still mid-day so they bought some delicacies, had lunch and headed for hiking. As they reached the top of the mountain the scene they could see from there was simply mesmerizing, Ellen had always loved the view but it looked a hundred times better than it had been. Maybe it was because of the person she was with, while Avery thought he was seeing the best scenery ever. But he couldn’t help himself as he stole glances on Ellen and admire her beauty as the sun shone upon her 'chiseled face'. 'Her whole body was shining' and he could hear his heart beat so fast. They bought dinner, and headed towards the lake to spend the night taking a lamp with them. As they rowed towards the middle of the Lake they realized that the temperature had become colder so Ellen took out her warm cape and covered Avery so he wouldn't catch a cold. They rowed a little farther till they reached the middle of the Lake.
They stopped rowing as they reached the middle of the Lake and Avery covered Princess Ellen with the cape he was covered which caught Ellen off guard and they shared the cape which made their heart warm as well as thier physical body. They chatted happily till dawn as Avery dozed off on Princess’s Ellen’s shoulder. As Avery's head fell on Ellen, she didn't dare to move an inch and she sat still without moving till Avery woke up after two hours of sleep. As Avery opened his eyes he was lying on Princess Ellen’s shoulders and he didn't know what to do so he stayed still without any movement. Ellen had been watching him sleep the whole time so she knew he was awake but they were in an awkward situation so neither of them moved. They spent the next few days together having fun, shopping for clothes, watching dramas, plays, fights and going from one place to another enjoying the delicious food and drinks as well as thier time together.
