Since the moment Tommy awakened he found something strange. Based on the pieces of information he received from the spiritual device, he was supposed to be in his dream world.

That means that the people here were not living beings, but the more he looked at them, the more he felt something amiss with this hypothesis.

Be it the maids he saw on the way, the butler, or the woman who had tried to kill herself, their emotions seemed far too realistic.

They showed the complexity of real human beings and apart from the power of concepts he was now able to use, everything was like reality.

Gazing at the woman weakly lying in front of him, a dark tough passed through his mind.

There was no one around, and she could not guard herself. What if he killed her? He will then have an even better grasp of his dream world.

But Tommy was not a decisive person, else he would have long been successful in this materialistic world.

After giving it some toughs, he decided to not lay his hands on her. After all, he was the one who saved her. Would he not be a foul to kill her just after that.

The difference between reality and illusion... many people tough about killing someone to see through it. Soon, they were either sent to prisons or in mental asylums. Some were walking among us.

When the woman woke up, she looked unfocused. She did not know that she had once more escaped from the embrace of death. She examined her surroundings and she was shocked when her gaze found him. The prince Djebal San was coldly staring at her.

He did not let her feel shocked for too long and asked: " now you have two choices, either you tell me, why you had this poison or you will die the most horrible death"

The voice of the prince was commanding and his orders were absolute. The girl was habitually a stubborn one or else she would have killed the prince as she had been ordered but at this moment her survival instinct was screaming inside her. She needed to obey or else she will experience it, the most horrible death there is.

Tommy mentally decided to call her " suicidal maid". She was recently contacted by a person. The person showed her a picture of her family tied somewhere.

At that moment she knew that she was in trouble.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Later she received something and was asked to use it to poison the prince. She almost tough about telling this to someone. She did not know if the prince will care about a maid's family, but she still had friends, didn't she?

She opened herself to her best friend. The next day her friend left the palace, and a bloody arm was sent to her. She recognized this arm, it was her younger sister's arm.

She understood that those people were ruthless and cruel. She also concluded that it was almost impossible for her family to see the light ever again, even if she killed the prince. Why would she do what they wanted?

Tommy has only one tough when he heard this.

" amateurish"

He tough that his enemies were well prepared, he tough that they had great and complicated planning capabilities. But now he felt that it was too simple.

He was also sure that the enemy had infiltrated the palace or else they would have not been able to send the poison, and a bloody arm in the palace undetected.

What took him by surprise was the fact that even those infiltrated agents did not wish to risk their lives, that is why they needed the suicidal maid.

Their last mistake was that apart from knowing where her family lived, they did not try to study her deeply or they would have known that she was a defeatist, a pessimistic, and a suicidal person. They were not professional.

It doesn't look like something planned by a foreign faction and this in itself is reassuring. It looks more like an internal faction depending on extern support. If they think that they can defeat me, they are overestimating themselves"

"I will take control of the Luo nation for now, and dominate the world later" Tommy did not know that at that moment while grinning wickedly, he was talking like a fatalistic supervillain.

The suicidal maid felt that the prince was especially strange today.

Did he not know that she was listening?

Did he not know that he was embarrassing himself?

" My prince, may you help my family?" the woman asked

"I don't know if they are alive. But if it is the case I'll be sure to help them" the prince was pessimistic but still tried to reassure her, or so she tough.

"I will need the picture they send to you, the one with your family, and also anything that is left from the" Tommy asked.

He suddenly remembered his beautiful CEO, the way she liked to boss around. He was just copying her bit, and things were going so smoothly. He almost missed her. At that moment as if answering to his feeling he felt something warm on his cheeks. Almost like a drop of water has fallen on him.

****

While Tommy was lost in tough, the suicidal maid stood up as if it was the most natural thing to do. She found some clothes in the room and changed them carelessly while the prince was still in the room. He will never know what he missed.

She exited the room and found two people in the corridor talking about something. When the two women saw her, they showed expressions of shock and surprise.

She did not great them. She just passed by without knowing what was happening to them.

She did not know how bad her situation was an hour ago, but almost everyone else in the house knew. That is why they were so surprised and gazed at her as if they saw a ghost.

At the same time, many people close to the royal family were receiving invitations to seek shelter in the prince's palace.

The old butler had acquired some reputation during those years and was now using it to convince the maximum number of people that the prince could protect them.
