Seungmin and Hyunjin couldn't sleep that night anymore , they ended up hurdling together , hoping nothing would happen to them.

As soon as dawn broke, Seungmin rushed to his father's chamber, it was so early yet his father was busy, discussing something serious with his trusted ministers.

Seungmin took a deep breath as he entered the huge chamber.

"Seungmin?" His father narrowed his eyes in confusion and stared at him. "Why are you up so early?"

"Dad I want to talk about a few somethings, may I?"

The king nodded, dismissing his ministers who left giving him a bow.

"What is it, son?"

"I couldn't sleep so I decided to take a walk last night and while doing that I heard two covered people talking about some killings that you ordered." Seungmin said. "Even the hallway was covered with blood!"

"I did?" His father got up from the throne." Did you hear it correct? Why will I order to kill anyone?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking. Should we increase security?"

"That's a good idea." The king nodded. "I will get it done soon, did Hyunjin see anything? He is really timid."

"No, he is fine." Seungmin looked at his feets, hesitating. "also dad, I want to ask that if Hyunjin and I can go visit Channie Hyung in Mycenae?"

"What?" The king's demeanor changed. "I don't think that's a good idea amidst these security concerns."

"But dad-" Seungmin was cut off as a messenger rushed in, holding a scroll that clearly had the royal logo of Mycenae.

Seungmin stood there, waiting for his turn to plea as his dad went through the message and sighed , rubbing his temples.

"Did Chan invite you?"

The sudden question caught Seungmin off guard.

"Huh? Yeah I mean Jeongin did too."

"Did you tell them I might not let you go there?" The king shot a glare at Seungmin.

"No! I didn't-"

"Hyunjin and you will leave for Mycenae tonight. " The king said suddenly.

"Wait- dad! Really? We can?" Seungmin failed to hide the excitement he was feeling.

"Chan sent a royal invite , I can't deny it. " The king felt exactly opposite of how Seungmin felt. "But, take Changbin and Jisung with you and anytime you sense danger, come back. You have to extremely alert, Seungmo."

Seungmin nodded and excused himself, running towards his room , smiling ear to ear.

"HYUNNIE GUESS WHAT? DAD- oh Sung, you are up early? "

Jisung sighed, Changbin stood next to him and gave the younger a look of pity.

"Hyunjin woke me up." Jisung muttered.

"Hey! Don't make me the villain, I needed genuine help." Hyunjin shot back and then looked at Seungmin. "Really."

"He wanted me to help him match accessories with his new outfits." Jisung deadpanned. "At 6 in the morning."

"If you are not happy then you can leave, Jisung." Hyunjin mumbled. "I am not holding you captive ."

Changbin looked between both of them in disappointment as he went to Seungmin, helping the younger one sensing he had something to say.
