During the first breakfast Taehyung and Miyu shared since being apprehended, news of his father's death was announced. And as conflicted as she was, it was a pain she also knew. It wasn't one she thought anyone should have to go through, no matter how cruel she believed them to be. At the news, she and Taehyung both ate in silence, and even though Taehyung held his stoic composure on the outside, she knew better. The seers' words played on her mind. Since learning of the truth surrounding Taehyung's mother's passing, she wondered if that would be enough to change the way she felt when she laid eyes on him. Yet she couldn't bring herself to do it, and so she avoided getting caught in that hypnotic gaze of his at all costs.

"Our wedding is two weeks from now. You have a dress fitting today after breakfast. I've already arranged it with the dressmaker. Make sure you aren't late." Taehyung's deep voice seemed to echo against the silence in the spacious dining hall, and the princess didn't object. She gave a curt nod, eyes still fixed on the empty plate before getting up and following her guard off to meet with the dressmaker.

The fitting took most of the day, but during it, the guards that usually followed her incessantly were not permitted inside. Which was the opportunity her handmaids had been waiting for. It wasn't until two of her closest and trusted slipped her a message that she'd realized any plans of resistance existing. They revealed almost nothing in fear of being caught. However, what they told the princess was that an escape for her before the wedding was being planned. They said that when the time came, they would let her know more.

In that moment, Miyu felt worried, but she also felt the small ray of hope she'd been praying for was shining. Until now, she'd felt like it was hopeless, like she'd never get out, and she'd even entertained the thought of having to accept this dreaded marriage. But, with this information, her faith was restored that perhaps she wouldn't have to follow through with it. And that she could leave this place that only held sadness and pain. She missed Jimin so much, and after she'd crawled back into bed after speaking with the seer, she'd dreamt of him. Of the night they'd kissed, and it'd all felt so real that when she'd woken, her lips tingled and her cheeks were damp.

But right now, she had to focus. She couldn't let herself get distracted. Before anything else, she had to get out of this castle and away from Taehyung. And now that her handmaids were making plans of their own, she just had to trust them until the time came.



During the ambush, they had knocked Jungkook and Jimin unconscious and by the time they'd awoken, Miyu was long gone. Jimin was distraught that he'd let the princess slip out of his grasp. Once again, he couldn't protect her and in his state of anger, he tried to chase after her. But Jungkook was able to talk some sense into Jimin, and instead, the two of them returned home to check on Jin.

Once they arrived back at the cabin, the place was in disarray, with furniture tipped over and glass shattered on the floor. It appeared like it'd been ransacked, but Jin was there and safe, and that was the most important thing to Jungkook. The three of them cleaned up the house, and it wasn't until the early hours of the morning that it was close enough to its original state. Jin told the other two how guards had suddenly stormed in and held him at knifepoint. When he'd refused to give them any information on the princesses' whereabouts, they smashed everything in sight.

The three then pieced together that after the confrontation at the cabin, those same guards must've found them in the spring and the rest was history. Jimin instantly questioned just how the guards had found them in the first place, but figured if they were scouring the woods nearby, they would've inevitably been discovered, regardless.
