It looked as it would seem in the paintings. Surreal beauty of nature. The lush green fields flourishing on the Sercarian land, the farmers working in their fields, cattles grazing, the soft scent of petrichor, the warmth of sunlight after the shower, everything seemed so coherent.

The sound of pleasant chorus of the birds slowly faded and the music from the town filled the ears of the travellers who were crossing the borders of the two kingdoms for the big festival.

"Looks like we're not far from the market area of Sercaria." one of the female in the horse wagon whispered to the merchant's daughter making her smile and look up at the sky, punched with white delicate clouds stretching like dome. Her brown orbs sparkled at the view. She never travelled to Sercaria before. She had no idea it was so beautiful. Heaven.

The trees seemed like silhouettes in glorious expanse. Yu Lu stretched her hand out to feel the soft breeze hitting her skin as the wagon continued to inch closer towards the melodious music playing somewhere in the market of the foreign kingdom.

"It's exciting." she smiled as her eyes travelled as far as they could to catch the view of the scenery. " This trip is going to be very memorable, I feel it."

Her servants nodded. They were here to find Jungkook, the young emperor of Mesmeria and also to expand Mr. Yu's business in the foreign kingdom during the festival. Yu Lu finally felt like she was grown up. She felt responsible and mature. And she liked it.

"Send someone to look for a place where we can settle our business while the rest can have lunch and rest at some inn. Let's go." She ordered a pair of servants to look for any vacant but suitable place for the business while another to look for an inn.

" Miss Yu, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

"It's not the royal palace. Let's look around for what's available. I'm not sure what they prefer to eat here." her eyes wandered around, as she spoke.

"Yes, Miss."

"Milord ! Milord!"

A man rushed inside Jimin's chamber, looking around for his master while frantically searching out for him.

Jimin, who was in bath relaxing after looking for Han Kyung for the whole day and night. He was exhausted. He couldn't even intake any source of energy. He ended up throwing away anything he had. His mind was all full of Han Kyung and plans on how to murder the Emperor so that he can bring her back, unharmed. And to clear all these nuisance thoughts, he decided to take a bath.

He walked out of the bath while tying the blue robe hugging his muscular torso, the man kneeled infront of the leader. "What's wrong?" Jimin questioned the man without making any eye contact, he filled a silver goblet with wine while he waited for the other to speak.

Jimin looked pale, exhausted and depressed even after he came out of the bath. His eyes were empty, lacking the emotions or shine that he had few weeks ago. What happened to their leader? Was it all because of a woman?

Lowering his gaze, he replied. "Milord, We found.... we found the Han Princess."
