"Bullseye!"
"How come she manage to hit bullseye these days?" the familiar voice rang my ears but I ignored it. Taking a few steps away, I readied myself and ran until I reached the line of the board before releasing the arrow.
"Bullseye!" Archer Kim's loud voice roared again.
That didn't stop there. There were six more boards around me. I went to the centre of the circle and released one by one with each release I only needed to turn my body slightly to face the aimed. Multiple stabbing sounds could be heard in the field in span of few seconds.
When the last arrow was released and stuck on the board, there's a whistle sound indicating that I've finished my turn.
"Twelve point thirty two seconds with four bullseyes and four full points." a student stopped the stopwatch while another student took off my arrows from the board. I panted lightly and faced Archer Kim before bowing.
"Good job, Eunkyung."
"Thank you, Archer Kim." The student gave me the arrows and I bowed before leaving the circle for other students' turn. I am already sweating in this black cloth that hugged my body perfectly with the gloves that covered a few parts of my hands. I went far from other students and took off the hand gloves before gulping the water.
I needed to stay away from people if they do not want some murder to happen today.
The audacity to tell me Han is lying again.
Maybe that's why I got full points today. All of the bullseyes were imagined as Seungmin, the puppy resembles guy who keeps convincing me about Han's condition. My best friend came to school late this morning because he was limping and yet Seungmin told me last night Han was at the sword fighting class. Did he get his eyes checked?
When the class is over I immediately left the archery field and walked alone to the castle. Neither Seungmin nor Felix dared to approach me, I don't need them right now anyways.
"Your Highness, the Queen asked you to get ready before seven because the guest will arrive for dinner. The dress is hung in your room." one of the Lady maids informed me. I nodded with a small smile.
"Thank you."
"My pleasure." she bowed her head and I walked into my room. I immediately threw myself on the bed and groaned, not liking everything that happened and is going to happen today. I tore my gaze off the ceiling to the hanger rack next to my wardrobe. A pink long sleeve dress with laces adorned both sleeves and the chest area was let plain presented itself gracefully in front of me. I eyed the dress from up to down. The below part was laced with the same one as the sleeves. I was not picky when it comes to dresses so this should be fine for me.
"The Hwang family huh.." I recalled the guest for today. The Hwang family was from another kingdom, our neighbor specifically. They will have dinner here and stay for two nights before continuing their journey to another kingdom for the next days. This was their old tradition, to visit from kingdom to kingdom once in a year as a sign of friendship.
The truth is, the Kingdom needs to make peace with another kingdoms because they only have one eligible heir, only one prince (and a princess). Same goes as ours but no one really knows who and where my brother sibling at except our family. He was kept hidden as a protection since he was the only prince here. Each kingdoms have different ways of protecting their only prince, and ours was hiding him.
It has been quite a long time since I last met my brother.
After a few minutes I moved to the shower room and noticed the maid has already prepared for the warm bath.
