"...and this was the Queen's bedroom," the tour guide said.
Yeona entered the room, a sense of familiarity rushing through her. She felt like she had seen the intricate designs of the ceilings and tapestries before, but where? Suddenly, a sharp pain struck through her head and she winced.
Half of the students were standing around the edge of the big room, looking at the Queen's large, extravagant bed. As the tour guide continued to ramble on about facts of the castle, Yeona shot her hand up, ignoring the pain that she felt earlier.
"Excuse me, I have a question."
"Yes, miss. Please ask away."
"What happened to Queen Yeona? You mentioned earlier that her successor was a knight called Lee Minhyung. Did she ever have children?"
The tour guide softly smiled at her. "Well, you see," the woman slowly walked towards the bed. "She died here, in this room, in her own bed."
Gasps rippled through the students and Yeona's eyes widened, taking a quick glance at Renjun who was equally as shocked.
"It's quite a sad story, really," the tour guide continued. "The Queen commited suicide by drinking poison. She died at a young age, with no husband or children. Thus, leaving the throne to her most trusted knight."
One by one the group of students started to leave the room, heading onto the next one.
Yeona gulped, her eyes trained onto the bed as she took in the information she had just heard. All of a sudden, her eyes started to water the longer she stared at it, her throat burning as she struggled to breathe. Her head pounded as she held onto it with one hand, the other quickly grabbing onto Renjun's arm. She looked up to the bedside table, a white teacup appearing and disappearing as she blinked.
"Yeona! Are you okay?!"
She shook her head. "R-Renjun- please. G-get me out of here," she struggled to say through desperate breathes.
The boy quickly grabbed her wrist, bringing her out of the room and Yeona felt like she could finally breathe again. She took in deep breathes, enjoying the air in her lungs that she couldn't feel before.
"What the hell happened?"
She looked at Renjun. "I... I don't know. I'm okay now, trust me."
Renjun gave her an unsure look but chose to shrug it off and not push her further. "Please let me know if you need anything."
The pair walked side by side at the very back of the group of students, admiring the castle walls around them. As Yeona took interest in a nearby painting, a warm hand slipped around her wrist.
She sharply turned her head, meeting face to face with a mischievous looking Donghyuck. Yeona opened her mouth, about to protest but was cut off when he put a finger over his mouth, signaling for her to stay quiet.
"Come with me," he whispered.
