It's been a few days already since she has been here. Xixi couldn't help but wonder if it was going to be like the last time, when despite having spent almost a few years, when she woke up it had barely just been a few months.
That man, no, she should say that prince, given how obsessed he appeared to be with calling himself that, would appear in her room every single day at exactly 8 in the morning.
How did she know the exact time? Well the first night was confusing. He left her to ponder upon how beneficial it would be for her to stay with this "Prince".
She noticed a weird looking device floating near the bed. It didn't resemble a watch or clock by any means. It was a lotus that bloomed gradually with a ray of blue light shooting from its center, almost seemingly randomly. That is, before she noticed the obvious pattern. Each second, a single petal opens, every 100 minutes it resets.
