Minho was free of Yeonjun's wrath.
But that also meant he was completely , entirely alone.
Not for long, he thought to himself determinedly, as he followed Yeonjun towards the Lee castle. Yeonjun had effectively cut him off from you, the one person he cared about. And Yeonjun knew that Minho would be coming after him. He knew this was his punishment, for not taking Yeonjun's side. He'd been deserted, just as he had been when you exited his life. And he would now have to save you from what were, essentially, consequences of his own actions.
The dark spirit had used his magic to materialize there, but Minho had driven himself in one of the leftover show limos. Of course, he had arrived after Yeonjun, but Yeonjun must have spent significant time outside the castle. When Minho pulled up, he saw the man on the phone with someone. It was a strange sight indeed, an all-knowing spirit using an iPhone.
Minho opened and closed the limo door as quietly as he could, sneaking around the side of the castle to see if he could hear anything that Yeonjun was saying. He felt quite foolish hiding in a bush, eavesdropping like this. But if there was any way he could help save you and his friends, then he would, no matter how dumb.
"Yes, I'm coming in now," Yeonjun spoke, his voice as smooth as always. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for agreeing to let me use your prison cells for the contestants. Yes ma'am, their parents are being held in your castle, just as you requested. I will see you soon."
Then, Yeonjun hung up, and strode inside, cloak flowing after him. Minho jumped up from his spot, and followed him inside. He knew his own house better than anyone, and therefore, he knew exactly where the dungeon was. He'd always believed holding someone in a dank cell was a primitive form of punishment, but his father was a big fan of imprisoning anyone, from Moonstone soldiers who were captured, to Obsidian deserters.
