Jungkook goes back to bandage Taehyung but the atmosphere was stiff throughout the process. Taehyung was hesitating to say some thing and smooth the atmosphere but before that the soldiers hurriedly came.
" Your Majesty we search all four corners but there is no route to the oustside. For returning the capital we can only climb up. "
" Consort Kim's wound still hadn't heal but to spend night here doesn't seem optimistic..
Okay make arrangements to return.""Yes your Majesty. Its just.."
" Tell me. I remeber you. Why are you always so hesitating."
That soldier blused in embarrassed after suttering for a long time he was finally able to speak.
"I-i was nervous."Well everyone can see that. Jungkook look genuinly amused unlike his always mocking expression.
" Is that so. Okay you all can leave and take some rest after that we will depart."
Those soilders hurriedly bowed before taking there leave.
When those soilders passed by him, Taehyung glanced at the little stutter.
This soldier look quite young and delicate and after standing with this tall and bulky soilders he look even more like a pitiful duckling.Its quite easy to gain people's good feeling, no wonder even Jungkook didn't get angry on him.
After coming out the cave that little sutter who Taehyung just called as 'pitiful duckling' thought he will be insane if he didn't feel nervous infront of his Majesty, specially after being at end meet of his murderous gaze just this morning.

They thought it will be quite easy climbing the mountain. But to there shock no matter how hard they tried no one was able to reach even half of the cliff.
The higher they climb the more pressure fell on them. Like some huge force is dragging them down wishing to crush them.
After hearing the soilders complain how there leg hurts as they move forward, Taehyung notice some abnormality.
He called one of the soldier whose face was abnormally pale.
Taehyung first look at his eyes which had turn bloodshot. His heartbeat was fast which can be explain due to stranioues climbing but how did his legs turn purple.
Is it poison ?
"Tell me what happen after you climb the cliff. Do not leave any details."
"Your Highness, as we climb up it was becoming difficult to move. There seem be some starnge force pulling us towards ground. "
"Taehyung did you find something ?"
Taehyung contemplated, before replying
"I check with silver needles, his body have no contact with any type of poision. As for the srtange bluish-purple colour on his legs it was because blood was flowing rapidly towards his lower body.
Previously even i felt this pull when i came down. "The moment he came here he felt a strange pull downwards, in fact if he hadn't climb down quickly then he fears that he would have become meat past by the speed he was falling.
It is vastly different then other cliffs, although he never have experience of falling before to compare but he was sure that this place have some abnormility.
The more time they spent here the more obvious the problems became.
Even walking felt like strenuous job.Jungkook glanced at the miserable group of soldiers unexpectedly it was a weak looking soldier who look most stable among them.
"What's your name ?"
little sutterer " Zhang jun-ho "
" What were you saying this morning about this cliff."
" This cliff is famouse with 'no man's land' name. Because from past 3 years all those who fall in it never came back. " while explain he didn't sutter anymore but tried to explain in all seriousness.
"Why wasn't it reported to me ?"
"Only 3 people have fallen in it so far. So.."
Jungkook frowned heavily. This imperial ground was under Mr. Guo who is his grandfathers person. He realised he still hadn't grapsed the capital completly.
His grandfather has turn old, naturally he is not much enthusiastic to control men under him so those people's had taken it for granted and started neglecting there duty.
This time after returning he will surely take good care of them.As for now, he has to first find a way to leave this place.
