She opened her eyes and found herself in a dark alley, surrounded by unfamiliar walls and flickering torches. She looked around wondering how she got there. But before she could gather her thoughts, a voice shouted, "There she is, catch her!"
She turned to see royal guards approaching her. She got worried about what was actually happening around her but at that time the only thing that crossed her mind was 'Run'. But the guards being too quick caught her at the end. They dragged her to the castle, eventually bringing her directly to King Kim Daehyun without any assistance because they thought her to be dangerous to the kingdom.

Harin was shocked to learn the king's name, as her father is the emperor of the same empire, but with a different surname - Lee. She wondered what had happened in the past to replace the Kims with the Lees.
The guards explained that they had found her near the palace, and when they called out to her, she had tried to flee.
'I-I just don't know! L-Listen who ever you are, please let me go... For god's sake help me to go back...' on her this sentence the king frowned,
'Go back? to where? I want to know what you were doing? are you a robber? after getting no reply from her (because she was traumatized) the king ordered them to gather information about her.
After they had investigated her residence and found her identification from the particular entry card. They then revealed that her name was Harin and she was a maid in the palace. Hearing the word 'Maid' her ears perked up, she couldn't believe what was happening, a princess turned out to be a maid!? And also what residence? She didn't belong to there... She couldn't understand what she was supposed to do at that time, did she really travel back in time? or is it just her imagination, dream or a conspiracy?
But at that very time, she determined to face him and the challenges waiting for her, she was a princess not a feared woman trying to hide from the dogs of society, she was always fearless and everyone knew that in her time and now she needed to prove it to these people too, she couldn't gather her courage to just hide and stay silent in this situation as she knew she was a daughter of a king... so, being in front of a king was not a big deal... but the only thing freaking her out was the time travel and how she would go back to her era... she still couldn't believe it, but even if that was a dream she wasn't gonna step back and give up...
A scoff got her back to reality, she looked up at the king with pleading eyes, The king's expression changed from suspicion to surprise after knowing her identity, and he ordered his guards to release her.
"Looks like we have made a mistake," he said while glaring at the guards, he again looked at Harin.
"So, you are one of the maids in the palace. But tell me, Harin, what were you doing outside the palace walls this much late at night?" he said raising his eyebrow,
'I need a pretty brief explanation' he stated and waited for a reply.
'I-I just wanted to take fresh air.' She replied.
'At this hour, huh!? and I think your shift for work at the palace was already over... like more than 4 hours had passed, and I am sure about that... do you know what time is it? I came here just for your this case! And if for a walk then particularly why near the palace? and on top of the list why did you run away?' She couldn't control herself anymore, though he was polite but on his 'for your this case' and his discomforting gaze like he was gonna kill her, she lost her temper, like for god's sake, she too, was not there to just listen to his blabbering and waste her time also...
'I already said just for a walk; I'm sorry for disturbing you... I ran because I got scared of the way they called me, and of course, I'm glad that you are responsible enough to be here for a simple thing like this, thinking it might violate your terms, but Mister, please look after your guards' mindset too.'she said with her eyes closed and a crown of frown over them. The guards looked at her with wide eyes, whereas the king looked shocked, but he managed himself and continued.
'Your words are like you have encountered a king many times, and moreover, I'm also glad you didn't take it the wrong way, and at most, I can say that you could've feared talking to me like this, because what if you maltreat a king and he ends up wiping you off from the earth? But yet, I praise you for the courage you just showed. As little as I can say, I from under covers appreciate your confidence and the way you showed the disability of my guards, without proving me a dumb king, which I'm absolutely not.' The king said with a frown, his anger was a little bit prominent from the words he chose along with his praise, he ordered the guards to lead her out.
while she thought, 'Like you could wipe off a princess so easily, a princess like me.'

I slept on the bed like thing in my house, it was really uncomfortable, even though it wasn't so easy to sleep in a situation like this and that was what I was thinking but I ended up sleeping. I wished no-one used to sleep like that in my time. In the very morning, I heard someone knocking at the door more likely breaking it, God! what tragedy I had to see more!?
I stoop up lazily knowing there's no Jenna at the door to lead the right person in, after asking my consent... I cried on the inside and opened the door with my half opened eyes...
