"Han-gyeol," Beom-sok calls out for his right hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty?" Han-gyeol comes in.

"Now, where did we keep that letter we received from Busan's first noble?" Beom-sok smirks bigger, evil circling around him.

"Here it is," Han-gyeol brings the folded letter and hands it over to Beom-sok.

Beom-sok unfolds the paper, reading the content with his infamous smirk plastered across his lips.

Greetings, Your majesty!

I'm the king's first noble, Samael. I'd like to start off by saying that I'm aware of your fervent wish to bring down Busan. To be honest, we both share the same passion for the downfall of Busan. I may be the first noble, but my want for power is all I seem to be bothered about. You have tried every possible option to push Busan off the cliff; alas they couldn't work out. So, I hereby, extend my hand to volunteer into your plans. This letter is to inform you that the queen is sending the princes to Changwon to bring peace to Busan and Changwon's relation. We both know that's not something that is likely to happen. Thus, I set ahead of you a proposal. Arrange a way to send back the princes dead. If anything, the corpses of the princes will be a magnificent sight to my eyes and a brilliant opportunity for you to attack my kingdom. Your indulgence in bringing down Busan will be an honor. However, the princes are good fighters, better ensure your safety. I shall be looking forward to receiving your response.

Best regards,
Samael.

Beom-sok keeps the letter aside. He looks up at Han-gyeol with an evil look.

"Sire, is it right for a noble to betray his own kingdom?" Han-gyeol asks, disbelief in his tone.

"Of course not," Beom-sok pours liquor into his glass, "But you see, it isn't Changwon that has a hidden traitor. So we needn't worry as to who's at loss."

Han-gyeol looks down slightly, feeling ashamed of the fact that a noble himself would do something this egregious.

"I hope you're not thinking of informing the princes of Busan about this," Beom-sok's eyes avert towards Han-gyeol, menace floating in them.
