Ahro and Jinyoen went off as the hwarangs and the princess went to meet the crown prince. They were walking at the streets when they saw an injured little boy. They treated him and he gave them a hairpin. The soldiers of Baekje came and captured them for stealing. They put both Ahro and the boy at a cage and took Jinyoen to meet the crown prince because she is a noble.

"Ah! Silla does have pretty ladies huh?" The crown prince asked as he touched Jinyoen's face. Jinyoen backed away from his touch.

"You seemed familiar. Who are you? Have we met before?" Jinyoen didn't answer him just looked at him with a disgusting look. "Oh! Yes. You are Chang Eun's sister Chang Jinyoen. I remember you clearly. You are such a beautiful lady. How do I forget you? Since your people didn't bring valuable offerings to make peace with me,you will pay the price. I will marry you as soon as I ended this matter with Silla."

"No, I won't become your wife. Never. Do you understand moron ?" Jinyoen spat in anger.

"How dare you call me a moron?" The crown prince slap Jinyoen so hard that her bottom lip started to bleed.

"Take her to a room in the palace and looked her. No one can find where she is." 

                                                               ...

When the princess's maiden came rushing in and informed to the hwarang both Jinyoen and Ahro dragged away by soldiers  both Sunwoo and Jidiwi jumped and ran without thinking. They couldn't get much far since the soldiers of Baekje surrounded them. As Sooho about to pull the sword Jidiwi stopped him.

"We can't use swords"

"Why can't we use the swords?" Sooho asked disbelievingly.

"Because if you take the sword it will start a war."

"Who would go to a war with so few people."

"If you wield the sword the peacemaking is over."Jidiwi warned in a low voice. Banryu joined with them also. "What's the matter?" Jidiwi put his hand on his shoulder and said,

"I think there is a misunderstanding"

"Get them" A solider called and the hwarang were winning untill Sunwoo was caught at a sword pointing by the General.  The general informed them to the crown prince he ordered them to lock them up.

                                                           ...

Jinyoen was sad, furious. She hands were bleeding because she kept punching the door. Her throat was dry from screaming. She was tired. She didn't know how many hours had passed after she captured. She heard a sound of the door opening. She looked up to see a maiden had bought her food. Jinyoen grabbed a vase from a near table and hit her head with it knocking her down. Jinyoen quickly change her hanfu. She wore the maiden's hanbok and put her on the bed. Jinyoen picked the tray and went out. She kept walking but she was lost. She searched for hwarangs but didn't find. She came to face to face with a general. As he pointed his sword at her Jinyoen ran. She ran away from the palace.

Jinyoen was running when she heard a cry of a child. She went to the direction where the sound came. She saw the soldiers of Baekje were trying to kill a small boy. She went up to them and shielded the boy from them.

"Move" One of the soldiers spat.

"I won't let you hurt this innocent boy"

"Then you should die as well" When a soldier lunged his sword at Jinyoen she grabbed it tightly ignoring the pain. She kicked him in stomach and grabbed his sword. The four soldiers surrounded her and started attacking. Jinyoen managed to strike two of them. One sliced  her left shoulder deeply. Jinyoen somehow managed to strike all of them. She carried the boy and ran to the woods ignoring her bleeding wounds.
