As Ali made his daring escape from the palace, a wave of panic swept through the corridors. The news of his disappearance reached King Abu Ali, who seethed with rage and disbelief. Determined to maintain control and restore his son to his rightful place, the king swiftly ordered his most loyal guards to capture Ali and bring him back, no matter the cost.

The palace grounds buzzed with activity as guards armed themselves and set off in pursuit. Their armor gleamed under the moonlight as they rode on horseback, their determined expressions etched with the gravity of their mission. The king's command echoed in their ears, fueling their resolve to capture the fleeing prince.

As Kim Young and Ali performed the sacred blood sharing ritual, their destinies intertwined in a profound and irreversible way. The blending of their life forces filled them with renewed strength and determination. With their hearts beating as one, they embarked on their desperate flight, racing against time and the encroaching presence of the guards.

Kim Young and Ali ran with all their might, the guards closed in on them, their voices growing more menacing and desperate. They barked orders for Ali to halt, threatening severe consequences should he continue to defy their commands. But Ali, fueled by love and determination, refused to heed their demands.

In a moment of tragic error, as the guards closed in, a poisoned dart meant for Ali's capture veered off course, striking his chest with a deadly accuracy. Pain coursed through his body, and Ali stumbled, his strength waning. Kim Young's cries of anguish filled the air as he witnessed the dire turn of events.

Time seemed to stand still as Ali fell into Kim Young's arms, his life slipping away. The pain of loss overwhelmed Kim Young, his tears mingling with the blood staining Ali's chest. In that moment of profound grief,

Kim Young: "Ali, I can't bear to lose you. How can our love survive this tragedy?"

Ali mustered his fading strength and whispered his final words to Kim Young.

Ali: "My love, our souls are intertwined, bound by a love that transcends time and space. Even in death, our connection remains unbreakable."

Kim Young: "But the pain is unbearable. How can I go on without you?"

Ali: "Listen to my whispers on the wind, feel my presence in the warmth of the sun. Our love will guide us back to each other, beyond this life, where we will be united once again."

With his last breath, Ali assured Kim Young that their love would endure, that they would find each other again. The spark of their love would not be extinguished by death; instead, it would continue to burn, eternal and unwavering.

As Kim Young, overcome by pain and anguish, cradled Ali's lifeless hand against his tear-stained cheek, he pleaded desperately, his voice filled with heart-wrenching sorrow, "Ali, don't leave, please don't leave me. How will I live without you? Our love was meant to conquer all." His voice cracked with grief as he repeated the words, as if hoping against hope that Ali's spirit would somehow hear his plea and return to him.
