For the past hour, the Crown Prince had been holding onto Da-hye's arm. She liked it, but it was starting to annoy her as well. He was holding on so tightly.

"The hour is up. We must leave." Yul said.

"I am not going. I must find her." Uk said.

"This place is too big and deep. The four of us cannot find her here." The Crown Prince said.

"You only came here for a tour, so you may go ahead and leave." Uk told the Crown Prince. "How did you see an illusion of Mu-deok?"

"I do not know where it came from." Yul said. "But... she said I kept longing for her."

"She said something similar to me too." Da-hye said. "She said I kept thinking of her."

"That is right." The Crown Prince said. "She said that to me too." Wait, why was the Crown Prince thinking about her? "That she came because I thought of her." The Crown Prince said.

"So her illusion come to see you if you think about her?" Uk asked.

"That is so creepy." Da-hye said.

"I guess you did not see it." The Crown Prince told Uk. "She visited the three of us, but she did not visit you even though you are her owner."

"Why in the world were you thinking of Mu-deok?" Uk asked.

The Crown Prince hesitated. "I was drinking cinnamon and ginger wine." 

Da-hye looked at the Crown Prince suspiciously. Why did he hesitate? What was the real reason that he was thinking of Mu-deok? Da-hye was angry but jealous at the same time. 

"Were you the one who got her drunk and made her reek of cinnamon?" Uk asked.

He got Mu-deok drunk? Did he have feelings for her or something?!

"That is correct." The Crown Prince smiled. "I also gave her a sachet that day. The smell of cinnamon probably came from the sachet."

That made Da-hye angry, she pushed the Crown Prince's hand away from her arm. He did not even notice. Or at least that is what she thought.

The Crown Prince noticed that Da-hye moved his hand away from her. But, he pretended not to notice. Had he made her upset by talking about another woman?

"Oh, you mean the sachet that she hung by the outhouse to get rid of flies?" Uk asked. Da-hye could not help but laugh at Uk's comment.

"By the outhouse?" The Crown Prince asked, he was offended.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness. It really helped shoo away the flies." Uk said happily. He was really petty.

"Da-hye, what were you doing when you saw her illusion?" Uk asked.

"I was trying on dresses." Da-hye said. "I saw one that I thought would look nice on her, then I saw her standing behind me. It was really creepy." Da-hye explained. She didn't say the full story as she didn't want to reveal Mu-deok's identity or let Uk know that she knew Mu-deok was Naksu. But, then Da-hye remembered her mirror had broken after Mu-deok's illusion disappeared. "The mirror. My mirror broke." Da-hye said.

"My mirror broke as well." Yul said.

"So did the one in my room." The Crown Prince said. "Did it come from the mirror?"

"A mirror?" Uk said.  There was a mirror where the Crown Prince had tried to touch the relic.

"Could this be it?" Yul asked. Uk's reflection started moving by itself.
