Jungkook, the son of a renowned archaeologist, chose to embark on an adventurous journey to Russia. Since learning about the lost Korean princess in Russia, he dedicated his life to researching her story.
Upon completing his studies, he conducted a...
Jimin entered the vacant chamber with stealth to release Hairy, his loyal falcon from the cage. Worried about Hairy becoming anxious and flying out to get sighted by head's men, Jimin carefully blinded the eagle's eyes. As he stood with Hairy perched on his arm, he spoke to the majestic bird resting on his arms, creating an unusual yet intriguing scene in the dimly lit chamber.
"Let's escape from here. Don't worry; Baldy is safe with my mother. We'll reunite with him when its our time. Until then, hold on to me birdy!" Jimin reassured Hairy, attempting to conceal Baldy's fate and tried to deceive the intelligent bird for his own solace.
Wearing a brown hooded coat, Ji min smoothly jumped out of the window, landing softly on the desert sand. Preferring the less-guarded back side of the palace, where the desert stretched endlessly, he began his getaway, seamlessly blending into the vast, desolate landscape.

Quietly, Ji min moved to the side and secured a horse he had prepared in advance, ensuring he went unnoticed by any of the head's men, or so he believed. When Ji min took off in horse, Head himself sighted the mysterious hooded figure disappeared into the dunes, leaving the palace while people are busy to notice.
The head who spotted Jimin made a plan and, along with his two men, stealthily rode in the direction Jimin had taken, giving no indication to the other soldiers. Head started seeing it as the perfect opportunity, he aimed to capture Jimin secretly and imprison him under his control to quench his thirst on him.
However, Ji min wasn't only noticed by the leader; Mila, from her chamber, observed Jimin's escape through the window. Realizing her father was chasing him, she silently took her horse, determined to follow and understand the unfolding situation. . . . . . .
How did Mila know??
A few minutes before Jimin's escape,...
While Mila and Jimin were discussing the manipulations that had transpired in their life, Jimin decided to come clean and confessed everything to Mila, revealing the extent of her father's shameless demands. Initially skeptical about Ji min's complaint, Mila grew extremely furious as she absorbed the truth as Ji min said.
Driven by a desire to help Jimin escape, Mila took charge, arranging a horse and providing him with a path to reach the desert falls where they had halted the previous week. Jimin expressed his gratitude, deciding to head to the falls from where he knew the way to reach the shore to escape the dynasty. . . .
Tragically, the head spotted Jimin, throwing their plan into disarray. Mila, riding alone, lost track of them but knew Jimin's intended destination. Determined to save him from her father, she galloped towards the falls, arriving just a moment too late.
Hidden behind a large rock, Mila witnessed the distressing scene unfold. She saw Jimin running towards the water, pursued by her father on horseback, who seized Jimin's hair. Mila's blood boiled as she couldn't believe her own eyes, watching her father violently pull Jimin towards him.
Mila, hidden behind the rock, could only hear her father's commanding voice echoing loudly. Strangely absent were Jimin's soft pleas, leaving a chilling silence that intensified the gravity of the situation. The one-sided exchange filled Mila with a growing sense of unease and helplessness. She cried helplessly behind the rocks . . .
"I offered you an easy way out, yet you chose the challenging path. Regardless of the route, the outcome aligns with my desires. I visioned you being mine tonight in the dark room, but it seems daylight and a flowing river are the backdrop you selected for my feast. My prey appears delightful to my eyes...." the head declared enthusiastically, his grin revealing a sadistic satisfaction that sent shivers down Mila's spine.
In her desperate search for something useful, Mila found nothing. Determined to help Jimin, she opted to wait for some time, waiting for the perfect moment to intervene.
" You look gorgeous even with dirt all over your face"As the head gloated, admiring Jimin despite the sand and sweat..
Jimin, seemingly overpowered, whispered confidently, "Did you think I'm the prey here? Oh, I'm so sorry, Head. You've fallen perfectly into my trap." His words carried an unexpected confidence, though his face pretending to plea for mercy.
"Do you believe you can fight and kill me?" the head challenged.
"Kill you? That would have been easy, especially after our last conversation when you showed me my dead bird. However, I have a reputation to uphold. I'm a Queen, and your daughter should know who you are. I need to lure you out of this village so that your people will trust me. The game of politics has cut off all chances to kill you right in your chamber the minute you touched me," Ji min whispered.
"My daughter?" the head questioned.
"Yes, Mila is here. My falcon spotted her already. You underestimated me. I'm not a typical Queen. I've encountered many men like you, and you are the easiest, to be honest," Ji min responded, feeling the head release his hold on his hair.
"Mila is here? How much does she know?" the head scanned the surroundings.
"Everything," Ji min affirmed.
"Then so be it. I know how to handle her after finishing you. After all, I'm doing it for her future. I'm just sad that I cannot quench my thirst on you. But that doesn't mean you can leave here alive," the head declared, drawing his sword to attack and end Ji min's life.
"See, I badly want to kill you, but that would make me look bad in the eyes of your daughter. After all, she loves me with all her heart, more than she loves her husband. So...I cannot kill you.... not yet!!!," Ji min whispered and began to walk back, casually whistling to signal. The head believed Ji min's falcon was about to appear and intervene.
"Your falcon cannot save you from me and my men. Kill the queen!" the head ordered his two men. They advanced to execute Ji min, eager to get their hands on him, walking closer to the confident Queen.
To their shock, a massive bear emerged from the water, followed by seven men. These were the seven loyal followers of Ji min, summoned by him through his falcon the moment he made his escape from the window. The unexpected situation, leaving the head and his men taken aback by the sudden turn of events. . . . .
The bear stood watch as Ji min's seven loyal men swiftly dispatched the head's two strong henchmen, reducing them to mere seconds of resistance. They then forced the head to kneel before Ji min. Everything happened in seconds leaving Mila dumbfounded.
"Kill me," the head said,bending his head and accepting his fate.
"I forgive all your vulgar words and bad deeds you did to me. It's already the worst punishment for you to kneel to me in front of your daughter....." Ji min softly stated.
"Are you going to let go of me?" the head asked, a glimmer of hope in his eyes leas by the soft concerned words of Ji min.
"I wish to, but... you killed my eagle. That's unforgivable," Ji min declared.
"Then kill me fast," the head begged.
"Before that.... i want to ask you something.... Did you think the King's bloodline would rule your village after you? "
" Yes!!! I know my people "
" No. It's going to be my bloodline that will govern and rulw your village after your demise... Know that before you die," Ji min asserted.
"That's impossible. You can't rule my village. My people won't accept—" Head said confident .
"I can't.... but my bloodline will."
"How?"
"I said what I said. Die confused..." Ji min coldly remarked, pushing his dagger into the head's throat in front of Mila, the weight of the moment left her stunned in silence
