After she was done with the shower and cleaning up, Soohyun decided to go outside in order to see how things have been holding up so far.

She was curious to see what decisions will be taken by the Leaders now that they have discovered who the mole was and what will Minhyun will be deciding now.

Turning the door knob before her, Lee Soohyun pulled open the door and walked out of the room. She noticed that the hallway before her was empty and eerily silent. Although this was the daytime, there were no signs of maids or butlers around the palace.

Hwang Yejoon's room was not placed at the secluded side of the castle, and this made the entire thing more suspicious. 

Walking on the hallway, Soohyun looked around for the signs of anyone. Something must have happened for everything to be so empty.

Thinking about Miyeon, Soohyun decided upon visiting the girl first in order to get a better knowledge about the situation.

°°°

Knocking on the girl's door, Lee Soohyun waited for her to appear and open the door. But even after waiting for about five minutes, there were no signs of anyone opening the door.

Starting to get worried, Soohyun decided upon opening the door herself in order to see what was going on. 

Pushing the door open, she mumbled, "Sorry for barging in."

As she stepped into the room and looked around, she saw no signs of anyone being inside the room, and that caused her eyes to widen.

Lee Soohyun recalled about how Hwang Yejoon had strictly order Miyeon stay put inside her room, and seeing that she was not in her room, something must have happened for sure.

That's when, Lee Soohyun felt a palm on top of her shoulder, and the sudden touch startled her. A gasp escaped her mouth as she took a step forward.

Turning her back, she saw that Eunwoo was standing before her and voiced out, "You really scared me this time around."

"What are you doing at here? Shouldn't you be resting now?" Eunwoo questioned.

"I am fine and feel perfectly energized. What happened to everyone around here though?" Soohyun questioned— worry and curiosity being present within her voice.

Ahn Eunwoo replied, "Well, the Blue Clan sent about five thousand ferals, and everyone had been taken to a safe hiding place. As for the rest, they are at the field fighting."

"What about Minhyun?" Soohyun asked.

"He is fighting at the field as well. This is to be expected. Hyung enjoys such things," Eunwoo spoke out, "He is finally getting to unleash his other side."

Hearing Ahn Eunwoo's tone, Soohyun could see that the situation was not that bad, and trying to be optimistic, she wore a small smile on her face.

She then said, "Is that so? Then, can you take me to the field? I want to see how things have been going."

"Now? It would be advisable for you to not go out there. You have just recovered," Eunwoo vocalised.

"Didn't I mention about how energetic I am feeling now? I am sure there is nothing wrong with me going there," Lee Soohyun vocalised.

There was a compulsive urge within her to go to that field, and she was aware that she would not be feeling satisfied unless or until she went to that field.

"Still I can't agree to that," Eunwoo spoke out, "For Hyung's sake, I need to take care of you. You are aware how your health affects his performance as well."

Those words of his caused Lee Soohyun's eyes to turn darker, and she sternly spoke out, "Ahn Eunwoo, I know how to take care of myself perfectly, and I am not going to do something that will be hindering, Minhyun."

Not only Eunwoo, she too was surprised how angry and rude she sounded by those words. She was well aware of how Eunwoo was trying to do these for the good, but at that instant, she was unable to control her mouth.

Before Ahn Eunwoo was able to say anything, she said, "I am sorry; I did not mean those words. Those words just came out of my mouth, must be because of how stressed I am."

Shaking his head, Eunwoo spoke out, "I understand. It is not that big of a deal."

Letting out a sigh, he added, "Since I know that you would not be listening to any words of mine, it seems that I will only be able to concede. But you must be following every instructions of mine, and if you do anything dangerous, I will be instantly bringing you back."

Nodding her head, Soohyun said, "Noted."

With those words, the two of them began to walk on the hallway. That's when, Soohyun recalled about something, and she halted in her steps.

Noticing that, Eunwoo stopped walking as well, and turning at Soohyun, he stared at her inquisitively before asking, "What's the matter?"

"Do you know where Miyeon is?" Soohyun questioned.

She then added, "I don't know why, but I have this bad feeling about the entire thing."

Putting on a confused outlook, he asked, "Who is Miyeon?"

"I forgot that you don't know the people around here. Nevermind. She is Yejoon's younger sister, and Yejoon strictly ordered her to not leave the room. That's why, I found it strange that she is not in the room."

"Don't worry too much about that. She might have been evacuated with the rest of the people at the castle. It is too dangerously to stay at her room on her own any way," Ahn Eunwoo spoke out.

"Oh! Hopefully, that's the case, and she is safe," Soohyun voiced out.

"It is strange to see that you have a girl as a friend though. I thought it was not possible for you to do that," Eunwoo commented.

"That was rude of you; I already mentioned to you on how I am not the same Moon Jiwoo," she vocalised.

In that moment of joy, the image of Han Minhyun being stabbed by a sword flashed inside her mind, and all of her joy dissipated to worry. She just hoped that he will be all fine.
