Lady of YeonSung (Lisrene)

Chapter 32

"What's the occasion? You're riding the carriage?"

Surprised, Seulgi turned around to look at her as he asked.

"I'm just a bit tired."

After answering, Joohyun went inside and sat down. She was so sore, but she couldn't tell her brother that. The guibin must have been tired as well because she was asleep on the seat.

After finishing their preparations to depart, the men shouted out, and the horses whinnied in the cold winter air, puffing out white clouds. Was the Red King and his men here? For some reason, the air felt a bit tense.

"It looks like they've added some people to the party."

Seulgi slightly opened the window as he spoke. His gaze was focused on a man with a pelt draped around his shoulders. Although he wasn't wearing a crown, he gave off a domineering aura.

"I think I've seen him somewhere..."

Joohyun ignored her brother's murmurs, but her back was covered in cold sweat.

Someone ordered, 'Let's go.' The carriage began to shake as it made its way down the road. The party began to move towards Mount Paran.

The sunlight shone through the tall spruce trees. There was no cloud to be seen in the blue sky. It was as if the weather was on their side. Joohyun sighed.

She couldn't help but keep her eyes on Lisa through the window. The carriage began to shake as it traveled up the stone path of the mountain.

How far along were they? They were probably close to the mountain peak. That would be the end.

Joohyun took another glance at him. The man fixed his eyes forward and never took one look at her. He seemed so cold. Should she call out to him? Everyone would probably faint from the shock if she called out, 'Lisa.'

Suddenly, as if he'd heard her thoughts, he turned his head and looked at her.

The sunlight poured out from behind him as his eyes gazed at her. Joohyun couldn't help but give him a small smile. Although he was right in front of her, she still felt a deep yearning in her heart.

Suddenly, everything turned upside down.

Crash!

The carriage soared into the air. Even the horses were thrown up with it. Joohyun screamed out and covered her face. Suddenly, everything was plunged into darkness.

There was no sound.

There was no feeling.

Joohyun's ears were ringing, and she could see Brother Seulgi's face. He was shouting something at her, but she couldn't hear him. Joohyun's shaky eyes could barely see. Then she saw them.

The shattered carriage was on fire.

Assassins in black were coming down like ants. There were hundreds of them.

Aah, that's right. This was Mount Paran. The natural fortress where even thousands of soldiers failed to pass.

They should have been more careful in the narrow canyon......

She saw Lisa swinging his sword and the violent assassins fighting him. However, there were too many of them. They were definitely sent by the angry empress.

Get yourself together.

Joohyun grit her teeth.

Get yourself together, Joohyun.

She could see the guibin rolling on the ground not far from her. She couldn't tell if she was dead or alive. Suddenly, Joohyun felt as if she were going crazy.
