" Empress are you sure this is the right way... We are being directed to go to the southwest by the map.. "

The woman sitting in the palanquin smiled but her smile didn't reach her eyes effectively hidden from her maids and soldiers by the thin veil of the palanquin. She knows what she is leaving behind, and she knows she probably would be the worst mother in the whole world cruel to do this but she knows that she has to do it even if her kids would probably never want to see her again after knowing her truth.

She looked away to the direction they are heading to her voice firm refusing to hear anything against her order, "just move to the northeast and never question my decision if you don't want to be left here tied to the tree and be snacks for wild boar. "

The maid visibly shuddered to bow her head 90 degrees, " Sorry Empress, the maid forgot her manners should have known better than questioning her highness ... "

" yes. You should have ... ". The empress has changed her voice had changed and everyone had noticed the empress who was married to the king when she was in her early teens never had ever sounded so aloof so detached like she did that day. Her voice was solid as a rock using her position to threaten the subordinate wasn't something empress Kim Yoo-na
is known to do.

She is strong, clever, ambitious but never the type to use her status like that. This was a weird change the soldiers and maids leading her procession looked at each other they have received strict commands to get rid of the empress before she reached the temple but now the Empress has changed the course of the parade and they have no idea why they already have set their goons in the previous path and now they have to come up with the new way to kill the empress and make it look like an attack or accident.

Just as they reach the mid forest the procession stopped abruptly as they got surrounded by the men dressed in black with silver badges shining through their arms the most dangerous assassins of the empire.

It wasn't the lanky goons they have got but the most professional assassins.

Within the next twenty minutes, the ground of the forest was drenched in red blood with dead bodies lying around like fallen leaves in autumn.

The empress slowly got out of her palanquin watching the assassin dragging a dead body with no smell on it.

She pulled out a small tonic bottle from her sleeves pouring especially made tonic on the dead body making it smell like her, she let them put the body back in the palanquin dressing ut in a traditional empress outfit.

" Empress, the sun is waiting for your arrival. "

She nodded her head following their lead into a separate palanquin but halted before turning around and looked down at the pile of dead bodies, "burn them and make sure the one who wanted me dead feel as they succeeded.... "

" Yes, empress ... We will take care of it. You can rest assured."

However, she was far from assured, " my kids... Take care of my kids for me ... "

She received a soft smile and a gentle nod before she left for the journey with no knowledge of when she would be able to meet her kids again.

But knowing full well that as long as she is away from her kids they would be safe and would grow up without constant threat of being killed and she would do anything to assure that because she is too weak to protect them now and probably will be always.

Holding her young Taehyung's bracelet that still had his soft scent she left without once looking back.
