It was already dark outside, and everyone was sleeping; the guard in the underground room was surprised to see Prince Hai Kuan still awake and there, too. Hai Kuan ordered them to leave them for a few minutes, so they closed the door after Hai Kuan told the guards there to leave them alone.

"Why are we here?". Hai Kuan sits on the chair, takes the papers out, and reads them.

"I'm talking to you". Zhuo Cheng feels irritated by Hai Kuan's ignorance; he sits on the other chair, looking at him.

"Give me a moment". Hai Kuan said and held his head to think, he wanted to tell him properly because he knew that he was not like Xiao Zhan, he would not believe him just like that, he needed something to convince him that what happened in the war was because of them, but not them at the same time.

After minutes, Hai Kuan looked at Zhuo Cheng, who was looking at him, waiting for any words from him.

"About your story of the war, you said----".

"Why are you opening this topic now??". Zhuo Cheng interrupted firmly.

".....Can you just listen to the end?". He said and Zhuo Cheng turns the other side angrily.

"I wanted to say that....you said that the people who killed your parents wear black and blue clothes, right?".

"Yes".

"What else did you see?". Zhuo Cheng turned to look at him and wanted to say something when he suddenly stopped.

"What?". Hai Kuan asks, and Zhuo Cheng touches his neck.

"I....remembered that....someone pulled us back before I lost consciousness, but I woke up after that shortly to see two men wearing black and blue fighting together, that's it". He said and Hai Kuan nodded.

"That's it, I want to tell you something, but I am not sure if you will believe me or not; I told Wei WuXian about it already". He said and gave the papers to Zhuo Cheng, who took them and read them with a frown.

"What is this??".

"It's the reports and documents about what happened at that time". He read the papers all but threw them away.

"This is Bullshits!!". Hai Kuan looked at him and sighed; he knew that this would happen.

"Listen, I know it's hard to believe, but....This was really the issue, but it's not like that now". Zhuo Cheng stands up from his place.

"Are you saying having betrayers in the Kingdom army is the problem? Then why did they attack the town? Did ALL The Army Wanted That?!!". He shouts angrily at him and Hai Kuan shakes his head.

"No, they were going to the next Kingdom, but half of the way, they noticed that some of the armies returned to attack the palace, so when they wanted to return they faced the betrayers on the way to prevent them from returning and save the people in the palace, that's what----".

"STOP KIDDING ME! This Is Not Funny At All!". Zhuo Cheng shouts at him angrily.

"The palace didn't have many guards when the attack happened,....so they needed to rescue us; we ran away....and lucky that our trusted army won in the town and returned to save the palace".

"How Could This Happen?? Are You Saying I Am Serving My Country That Killed My Parents? I Even Entered The Army That Betrays Our Country Trust?!". Zhuo Cheng said with a shaky voice; Hai Kuan looked at him sadly.

"I asked my father when I saw the kids of the town, he said.....He ordered the leaders to raise them since they lost their parents in the war, and trained them to not turn out like the betrayal army, and the next kingdom won't take them away as hostages, it's better to train our country kids to become capable to its kingdom, not for another kingdom, that's what he said". Zhuo Cheng sits on the chair and shakes his head.
