"Surely, there are a lot of similarities." I was thinking to myself.

"But if Pat is proposing to Ms. Song here, then does it mean Pat in my world likes me??"

With a lot of thoughts, I fell asleep.

The next day, at the breakfast table, I asked Ian if he could accompany me to the Imperial Palace.

"Ms. Song, are you sure you can travel as it takes 2 hours by road."

"Don't worry. Let's go."

"Sure, Ms. Song. I will ask Cici also to come along. She can make some arrangements for us."

"mmm"

"I will notify you once the car is prepared."

"How is Mia?"

"She is doing good."

"Can she come with us?"

"I guess no. Her physical condition doesn't support traveling as of now."

"ok..."

As the ride started, I was still thinking about the similarities in the incidents. Ian noticed that I was lost in thoughts.

"Ms. Song, are you alright?" Ian asked while driving.

I was still lost in thoughts.

"Ms. Song..." Cici called out, who was sitting right beside me.

"... Yeah." I was startled a bit.

"Nothing Ms.Song. We will arrive in 15 minutes." Ian said.

"Oh..Ok.. Good.."

Even though I suggested visiting the Imperial Palace, I was nervous about the next scenarios I would face.

"Ms.Song, this way, please," Ian said, leading me to the entrance.

"Ian, Can you tell me about this project in detail?"

"Ms.Song.The project aims to convert this old palace into a resort and make it a Tourist attraction point soon. The renovation work started a month ago. Mr.James is available today. He is currently overviewing the onsite executions."

"Good Morning Ms.Song.Good Morning Mr.Johnson." A middle-aged man came by and greeted them.

"Ms. Song, this is James, currently in charge of on-site workflows."

"Hello.. " I greeted.

"Ian, You take the status update. I will take a look around the place"

"Sure."

"Cici, You come with me."

"Yes, Ms.Song"

As I took a look, I realized this was similar to my world. The paintings and furniture give a deja vu.

"This is a huge place," Cici said surprised.

We slowly climbed the stairs. There were workers slowly moving the furniture. The rooms were very big. Surely, it was a royal life back then.

As we were seeing the rooms one by one, I noticed a pathway at the corner.

"Cici, let's go there." I pointed towards it.

" Ms.Song. maybe we need to skip it as of now."

"You wait for me here."

I went along the pathway to find a door at the end.

As I opened the door, I could see a room that was like a study.

There was a table and chair. A couple of books and papers.

I slowly started to have a look around. I picked up a dairy which was on the table.

As I opened the first page it said..

"The travel here is to help your twin. Unless one returns, the other can't leave."

I didn't understand the lines. I kept the dairy aside and noticed a huge mirror in the corner, right opposite the table.

The mirror was beautifully engraved. I felt something was abnormal with the mirror. I took a closer look at the mirror. The reflection of the table behind me wasn't seen. I could see the books on the wall mount. The arrangement of books is the same. But where did the table go???
