"I really don't know." Hari groaned while sitting on the bed in her room. She was talking to Jaejun through some spells.

"He really didn't listen to you?" Jaejun gasped.

"No he didn't." Hari scoffed, "Enough. I'll try just once more and after that I'll proceed with the backup plan.

"Okay." Jaejun agreed as the connection was lost.

Hari composed herself after which she walked out of her room. She reached the sub hall beside the main one, where Seungcheol and Jeonghan were talking to each other.

"Excuse me." Hari made her voice as timid as possible, "I-"

"Miss Park." Seungcheol preferred to address her as Park Jiah, "Everything has almost been arranged. You can start your journey to your home, tomorrow morning."

"What?" Hari widened her eyes.

"Yeah." Seungcheol nodded after which he left immediately.

Hari started crying as she broke down and sat on the floor.

"Miss Park-" Jeonghan didn't know what to do.

"Hari!!" She cried heavily, "Call me Hari, please. That's my real identity."

"I don't think so. It was your past life, not your current one." Jeonghan explained, "It used to be your identity, Miss Park."

"Easy said than done." Hari sniffled.

"I-" 

"Jeonghan, why are you here alone?" Seungcheol stepped in as he grabbed his hands, "I thought you were coming with me."

"Seungcheol-"

"Let's go." Seungcheol gently dragged the younger from the hall to their room.

"Seungcheol, what is this?" Jeonghan frowned.

"You don't need to talk to her." Seungcheol scoffed, "I don't want any evil eye to fall on you. Never."

"But, I-" Jeonghan sighed, "I really don't know what to say. What if she's not really evil in this life?"

"That's not possible. Is she wasn't evil, then after recalling her past life, she would have never came back here." Seungcheol stated.

"Why? I don't exactly know the whole story." Jeonghan confessed.

"Although there was no proof of that but everyone, even my family, this royalty believed that she tried to side with Phoenix by using me." Seungcheol paused, "I won't deny my fault here but I still couldn't understand how I fell into her trap so bad.

Mom used to say it's her spell and all but I never believed anyone. That was how bad it was. Jeonghan, I'm finally getting a chance to repent for my mistakes, just let me do it."

"If she's really evil, how will sending her away help?" Jeonghan asked.

Seungcheol turned around, his face as stern as ever, "On her way back tomorrow, she'll meet an unfortunate accident which will declare her dead on the spot."

"What?!" Jeonghan gasped, "You're going to kill her?"

"Yes." Seungcheol nodded, "I don't want any rivalry with the Park's for no reason. I know they must be under her spells as well. That's why I want this matter to be closed without any noise."

"But Seungcheol-"

"Shh." Seungcheol intervened, "I'm not going to change my mind. Everything has already been planned."
