• Narrated by Yuchan •

Donghun returns from the battlefront this afternoon.  The command of the armies was taken over by two excellent commanding generals and we continue with the advantage.  This information has just been passed on to our entire war council.  I was warned by a letter from my cousin last week that he would be returning to the palace.  As soon as I finished reading, I wrote and sent a message to Kim, asking her to travel to Butyzzel with me.  We met in Welyx and went on with the trip and stayed in one of my vacation mansions on the coast, next to the palace.

I leave the room where the meeting had just taken place and walk towards the exit of Butyzzel's palace.  Youra is in front of one of the German kissing beds, near the fountain.  She bends down and gently touches the petal of one of the orange flowers.  I approach calmly and lower myself beside her.

— They're beautiful, aren't they?  — she asks me, with a slight smile on her face.

— Yes, they are very beautiful.

— What do these flowers convey to you, Chan?  — I look at the flowers carefully, reflecting on the question I was asked.

— Calm, peace and joy — I answer.

— They convey the same to me, and that's exactly how I'm feeling.

Youra touches one of the flowers in white.  Her smile increases and her eyes shine with anxiety.

— I feel anxious to see Donghun again, it is a relief that he is well.

— It is a relief for all of us, Youra — I say getting up.  Youra also gets up, she adjusts the long skirt of the violet dress and then looks at me.

— I have to go, duty calls me — she smiles, and leaves, walking calmly to the palace.

— And then?  — Nari questions as soon as I enter the mansion by the sea.

— I'm fine, thanks for asking, Kim — I say in an ironic tone and she rolls her eyes.

— We will act tonight, Donghun arrives at the palace in the afternoon — I say looking at the clock that strikes ten o'clock in the morning.  She smiles wide.

— Okay, I brought the flag, as you asked me.  I also got the herbs to make the infusion that will make him erase, caps to cover our faces and preserve our image, ropes and gloves.

— Perfect!  We will enter through an underground passage that gives direct access to his room, Youra will be finishing the preparations for a celebration around him that will take place next week, while he prepares to rest.

— Right.

— I will enter while he is distracted, with the handkerchief wet by the infusion, I will make him pass out and take him into the passage.  You will ensure that I have not left anything that can denounce us behind and you will place the flag on the floor next to the bed.

Nari looks at me, giving me all the attention.  Her look is thoughtful, she is processing the information.

— Youra will mobilize all the servants to search my cousin for the palace.  Everyone knows that Junhee is on the throne, this news was passed on to everyone at court, both from Welyx and Butyzzel.  She will find the flag and will soon draw the conclusion that Trakzus's hissing attack.

— Okay, but where are we going to take him?

— We'll bring him here.  There's an underground basement here, no one will suspect, and that basement is hidden enough that they can't find it.  You will bring a servant you trust to take care of him.  He has to be well looked after, very well looked after.
