//Five Days Later - AT THE MAIN HALL//

Thing went quiet for a week like everyday was normal, but Hak and I both had this weird feeling over time discussing about it one night. Yet we couldn't understand what he could be, and both our senses were never wrong. Yet one night I fell asleep and had a full on nightmare, something that made me suffocate. Yet people say nightmares signifies a vision ahead of time, or telling the future.

My nightmares have been always losing my parents but this specific nightmare showed me a dark shadow figure choking me, with a sinister smile. It was like torture, and ever since I only had tiny naps through the day rather sleep at night and protect Yona while in her chambers asleep.

People crowded and flooded into the main hall, many suitors and important people were welcomed by the King and Yona herself. She looks very grown up in a nice dress, being acknowledged by the kingdom and her own people. I stood on the side eyes still on Princess Yona, while I wore my usual general outfit. I wasn't someone to dress up with high priced royal materials, nor feel the need for it. But over the week I grew more quiet and less demanding as I normally would since Ju-Do.....and I.....well, to be honest we weren't even an item. We were never together, but I didn't understand why he could break everything off just the very moment i haven't seen him after a few months.

"General Yumi, wish for a drink?" One of the maids offers me, making me blink a few time waking myself from my deep thoughts.

"Oh um, no thankful I'm okay,"

"Are you sure, you look like you need one?" She asks once again, as I shook my head.

"I'm okay,"

She finally walks away while I scan the crowd before deciding to go check around, making sure our soldiers were on duty. Walking through the heavy crowd, i finally reach outside looking both ways. Then walking through the garden I go to check if everything is going alright, but I suddenly felt eyes on me. I look behind me thinking someone was behind me, when Hak appears before me.

He held an unwavering look in his cobalt eyes, "What's going on, Hak?" I ask in curiosity.

He shifts his gaze around darting before landing back on mine, "Order more men on duty, you know about this weird feeling we're being watch?" He asks me with a hush tone, nearing my ear.

"Hmmm?"

"Gather more men to stay on guard, there might be some unfamiliar faces," He replies more quietly.

"So will the Princess be okay?" I whisper, but with a deep tone.

"She's in a fit right now, so go inform the guards to increase number of men on watch," he repeats himself, as I nodded. "I just.....I don't understand this creepy feeling it's like--"

"An unsettling feeling, yeah I know..."

With that we both part ways while I make my way towards where the soldiers of ours were, striding down the path firmly and quickly. My eyes remain harden, getting that intense fear in my heart. Dammit, my breathe is quickening too fast. Why do I feel so......out of breathe? Once I found the main captain of the squad that's on duty of the kingdom, he notices my presence.

"General Yu-Mi!" he bows, hand on his chest bowing politely. "What's going on?"

I look around, "I want you to gather more men on duty, orders from General Hak," I order them.

He looks at me furrowing his thick eyebrows, "May I ask why, General Yumi?" he asks, but I look away not sure whether to say something or not. It was hard to describe, or even hardly tell what's going on. "General?"
