✔Royabel : Jung Sungchan

CH 4

Hyejin POV

Walking down the streets, I see many people walking about, parents with their happy little children, lovely couples and all sorts of other people, it was time for the evening market, which meant people were out here to buy their things, which would range from food to clothes to medicines too.

Ah, there it was the good old SeungSeung bar. Owned by two good friends, Seungwoo and Seungsik, it was a five star joint like no other. Note the sarcasm there.

Opening the doors, I head straight to the counter and took a seat on a high stool.

"Well look who decides to show up?" Seungwoo sarcastically states.

"You know you love me." I reply with a finger heart.

"What do you want?" Seungsik asks, coming around.

"How do you know I have something I want?" I test .

"Well obviously what other reason would you have come here for?" Seungwoo replies, as a matter of factly.

"You know me too well." I smile sheepishly. "How about we talk in private, this is too much information to be disclosed in a public place."

"Ok." Seungwoo says and stand up, "good people of Reigan, I am sorry to say but I have to close my joint today since I have a very important family business to attend to, if you will, please leave!" He yells on the top of his lungs.

Grumbling and muttering curses, all the people slowly leave the joint in a span of few minutes.

As they all leave, Seungsik locks the doors and tights the padlock he had put and turned the open sign to closed for the day.

Turning off all the lights, we head up to their small house, which was above the shop, very convenient I would say.

Taking a seat on their couch, Seungsik asks, "You got hired for a mission, didn't you? What happened?"

"Hehe. Well that's the thing," I explained everything, from my attempt to steal from the palace to working for the king, leaving out the part I got kissed.

"So your looking for someone with blue eyes?"

"No dummy, that would be me, I need to know where is ATEEZ right now?"

"Wait a second, let me get this straight. The Prince wants you to find you, so he can capture ATEEZ?" Seungwoo asks,

I nod back.

"What a twist, well I say their pirate ship leave Reigan two nights ago, by now they should be by Ocsen. If they are planning to stay that's where they will be or they may have travelled further." Seungsik tells.

"Oh god, I won't get there on time and there is no point in roaming the seas without a destination in mind." I run my fingers through my hair.

"Well you could tell this to the prince, and maybe we could keep an eye on the dock to see if we can get any information about ATEEZ." Seungwoo offers.

"Yea, I will. I think I might as well just skim the dock to eavesdrop on some sailors, maybe I'll get something good. And thanks for the offer, that would be helpful since I can't leave the castle unless I'm given a task." I thank them, giving both of them a hug each.

"Any thing for you kiddo." Seungwoo says ruffling my hair.

"Well, I better get going now, don't worry, I'll try to come by whenever I can." I reply with a smile and jump out of the window, before Seungsik could stop me to give another lecture, what can I say he's like a mom I never had.

Jumping form rooftop to rooftop, I reach the docks, it was almost midnight by now, the sky was cloudy, so not much moonlight was visible making the land dark.

From where I was standing, I look around, there wasn't much. Most of the ship were cargo ships, who had brought goods and were getting ready to leave. There was no sign of any pirate ships, cursing under my breath, I decide to return back to the castle.
