Baekhyun sighed as he watched empress dowager walk around the gazebo with few maids following her. "Milady? You're tiring yourself. Trust him a bit, your majesty will be back once he'll give up. Plus we have general Kim with him followed by Seokjin, indeed they'll protect the king.

"I'm not worried for the king of Mesmeria , Prime minister Byun, I'm worried about my child. Is he even eating well , did he get chance to rest? Did he get caught? Is he safe? This is killing me prime minister, I don't know , I want my son back." The empress dowager yelled only to make the younger sigh.

It wasn't in his hand anymore. The prime minister did send some spies to check all the inns and hotels in Sercaria. The spies even searched every corner of the market place but found nothing. They also heard that the blue eyed maiden isn't a myth but a living truth. She's dreamy and a rebel. The prime minister didn't share this with the empress dowager as he knew this will only worsen the situation.

"Where on the earth you're Jeon Jungkook.....?" The empress groaned taking her seat. "I nevet thought he'll run away just because I scolded him. How irresponsible and childish."

"Milady?"

The soft voice made the elders turn to see the young lady approaching them followed by few maid behind her. "Mother? You don't look too well, are you taking care of yourself?"

"Yu Lu....Yu lu dear, how will I rest if my son is far away from me in enemy's kingdom? I'm worried and this is killing my old self. Why would he do something so reckless? Aigoo.... This old woman can't bear so much pain , stressing over that young lad, I can't stop worrying, how come I rest and take care of myself?" The old dowager sighed as she hold the young girl's hand. "Why are you here Yu Lu? Do you need something?"

"Milady? Why would you think I'll be here only when I'll need something?" Yu lu sighed and glanced at Baekhyun before smiling and bowing at him. "I'm here to see how are you and chat with you."

"Chat? Oh dear..... please have a seat. I almost forgot that you were here , staying in the palace. I'm really sorry, I had no idea that my son would run away from the palace just to escape the marriage. Young lad doesn't understand how important it is to-"
