Seeing Sima Yi in his periphery caused panic to run down Zhuge Dan’s spine. Lady Chunhua had fled away, perhaps she had also seen Sima Yi running through the halls.
Zhuge Dan had to think of something, and fast, almost as fast as Sima Yi was running towards him.
“My..Lord..” he said, holding his hand to his heart. “I apologise for...for shouting like this..I hope I did not wake anyone else..”
Still searching in his mind for an excuse as he bides his time, and Sima Yi could possibly be running out of patience.
“I was having a nightmare.” he suddenly said,”a fleeting childhood memory...there was a person...they were running away from me..I was trying to bring them back...I didn’t want to be alone...”
He at least hoped Sima Yi would believe this, and suddenly, the lie felt so close to home..
