Few hours ago

"Her Highness The Grand Princess has a very sensitive skin and His Highness The Crown Prince has a terrible allergy in dust, of all people, you should know this because it has been your work for ages,"

"It is the court staff duty to make sure to never leave any spots of dust and dirt, I hope all of you understand what I mean," Jisoo scolded the staff.

"Yes, Your Ladyship," The terrified staff said all together.

"Good, because I will be checking your work every single day, so better not leave everything untied," Jisoo ordered the maid.

After the news she got that Crown Prince Seol has a cold because of the dust in his library, she devoted her time to look after the cleanliness in the whole Palace, and also to lessen the work of Lisa; she's already overworked with projects, charity, financial accounts, and even the well being of her children all at the same time.

It is the only thing she can do as her court lady.

"Yes, Court Lady Kim," the maid bowed their heads as she nodded for them to go.

"Your Ladyship, your husband is on the line," A maid came to her, giving her phone to speak with her husband.

Jisoo was baffled by what the maid said. Why is he calling her on the phone? Does it mean the Japanese people really came for peace? Jisoo took the phone and answered,

"Joon? How did it go? Are you coming back tonight?" Jisoo asked him, with a little nervousness to heart.

"SLEB 17:35 DunHall, DCR," 

Namjoon whispered a code but enough for Jisoo to understand, her face changed, acting so worried while nodding her head as if Namjoon was still updating her.

"Is that so?" Jisoo pursed her lips, pretending to be saddened.

"Please be careful there, I'll let Her Majesty know that there's been a commotion in the Grand Palace," Jisoo sighed, "Areum wants her dad come home safely please, Joonie,"

"You're so good at this, Babe," "Namjoon chuckled.

Jisoo nodded her head while giving the maids a smile, "Nae, I'll see you soon, I love you,"

"I love you too," She heard him say before she ended the call and looked at the maids, with her cold gaze.

"Go back to your posts, and do not leave a spot, we need our floor as shiny as possible, make it polished," Jisoo ordered them before walking gracefully towards the King and Queen's chamber.

She would look walking but deep within her, she needed to run as fast as she could.


SLEB 17:35 DunHall, DCR


She understood it very well, it means they were in Seoul at 5:35 in the afternoon, exactly 3 minutes before he called her, they landed in the emergency basement of Gyeongbokgung, and that the King wanted to see the Queen Regent in secret in the Dungeon Hall. If her instinct is correct, there's something much bigger problem than the cold war against Japan, that they need to hide it from everyone inside the Palace.

And as she entered the room of the Grand Princess, she saw Lisa sitting on the floor with her eyes wide as sorcerer, her lips agape, and her eyes were tearing as if she already knew what's happening.

"Your Majesty.." Jisoo whispered.

Lisa looked at her, still tearing up, but as she stood up and fixed her dress, she removed her tears and nodded, "I know.."





"Take me there,"





The way to the Dungeon Hall is silent, Jisoo can feel her coldness even from behind, but she shrugged it away, knowing the Queen Regent doesn't really voice out that easily. After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at the hall where they saw 7 men, and a woman with them.
