Hyunjin's pov

I was knitting by fire, in my bedchamber when I suddenly heard a knock on my door and I said "Come in" and soon the door got opened and I saw Chan standing

"Oh, your grace," I said as I got up and I bowed

He laughed, and he closed the door behind me, and he gave me a cloak and beanie

"Cover yourself up l, we are going to sneak out the castle" he said as he opened the door

I put the beanie on, and I clipped the cloak around my neck

Chan grabbed my hand and pulled me with him

We ran through the castle, trying not to get caught by any castle servants or guards

Chan pulled me into a dead end, and he started pushing a statue away, and a secret door was revealed

Chan pulled me again with him, and the secret passage closed behind us. Chan grabbed a torch, and we walked through dark alleyway

"Chan, where are we going?" I asked him

"You will see" He said with a smirk

A few minutes later

"It's safe " Chan said as he looked outsid,  and we walked outside. We were outsideCastle,  and chan grabbed my hand agai,  and he pulled me with him
A feww minutes later

We were walking through the streets of Asteri,  and I never knew the night life it was different

Cha is  currently getting some food from the street6d I looked a bit around

"Are you alone?" Suddenly, a man walked to me and asked me something

I looked at him with an anxious look

"No, I'm waiting for someone," I said, and the man smirked as he walked to me

I have a bad feeling about this, Chan where are you?" I thought as I looked a bit nervous around

"You are a pretty thing, aren't you" he said as he came closer and suddenly his finger caressed my cheek, I was literally frozen

"Don't touch him, you bastard" I suddenly heard Chan's voice and I saw him walking to us and the creepy man started to leave already

"Yeah that's good, leave!" Chan said as he put his arm around me but then he put his strong hands under my chin

"He didn't hurt you, right?" Che asked with a sweet voice and I shook my head

He smiled and he grabbed my hand and we started to walk through crowd of people

There were many markets, artists, a lot of music was playing and the smell of delicious food

"And drunk people" I thought with disgusted when I saw a few drunken people

I saw also people doing intimate things with each, man and woman, man and man, woman and woman

I didn't know what to think or say

"Do you want to join?" Chan suddenly asked with a smirk, and I chuckled and hit his chest. Holy, he works out a lot

He grabbed my hand, and he smiled. He came closer with his face, and our foreheads almost touched

Our lips were almost touching, and I felt hot breath against my lips. He slowly closed the gap between our lips, and he kissed me

I was a bit shocked but soon I kissed him back, it was just a thought

Chan slowly and softly pushed Mr against a wall. He pinned my hands against the wall, and he kissed down my jawline to the side of neck

He wanted to go more down, but I stopped him

"Stop," I whispered and first he continued but when I said a bit louder, he stopped and let me go

I looked at him and he looked at me

"I'm sorry" he said as he grabbed my hand and kissed it

"I wouldn't do that again, I promise" he said and I smiled

He grabbed my hand, and we continued our trip through the festival

After few minutes

"Do you want to know your future, my child?" Suddenly an older lady asked and I nodded, chan was talking with some people

The old lady sat behind a table and I took a seat in front of her. She got a few cards and put three on the table

"Which one do you want to know first?" She asked, and I pointed to the right one, and she turned it around

"This card says you will marry some noble lord or maybe a prince and become his consort," the lady said, and I pointed to the card in the middle and the lady turned it around

"You will own something that not everybody has " I pointed to the last card, and the lady turned it around

"You will become father of one or four children but only the oldest will survive" she said and she looked at me but then she looked back at the cards and she got another one and she turned it around and started to read it

"You will be king for some take but then there comes another younger, more beautiful and stronger who cast you down and take everything you love" the lady started to evilly laugh and she kinda scared so I quickly went back to chan

"What happened to you?" Chan asked when he saw me coming with a bit scared face

"Nothing, Chan, can we go back to castle?" I asked him and he nodded

"It's getting late and tomorrow we gave a busy day.. my mother wants to pick my outfit, "chan said and we started walking back to the castle

After an hour

We arrived at the castle and we went back to the secret door and we went back to our Chambers

I still tried to figure out what the lady was trying to say to me
