Recap: Once we were there, the guards immediately opened the gates. "STOPP CLOSE THE GATES" someone shouted in the distance.

Solji's P.O.V

The guards at the gate were confused as to why they should shut the doors. I made my horse speed up and I saw Jiso do the same, as we were a few feet away the guards started closing the doors. I hissed in anger and made Taebaek run faster. Jiso not falling shortly behind with Sunja, who was shot at with a bow and arrow. Barley even dogging it Jiso and I made it through the gates before they closed. We rode at a fast pace till we got to our little secret house. As we slowed down Taebaek and Sunja were huffing and whining. I got off Tae and took him to the side of the house where I got fresh water for him and Sunja. I put up my bow and arrow along with my sword in the pouches that Tae had. I pulled my daggers out from under my dress and put them on my back where they bother me less. I watched them drink their water, petting Tae I went back inside to see Jiso sitting there rearranging our things. I bit my lip and approached her, when shes quite that means either I'm about to get a lecture or I'm about to get beat.

"Explain" she said in a cold tone. She maybe a 1 year younger than me but that doesn't mean she isn't scary. "She wanted me to leave the kingdom" I said. She looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "She told me I was too weak to take care of the kingdom and too weak to protect the throne" I explained more. Jiso scoffed and rolled her eyes at my statement. "She accused you and me with treason against the royal family" I said crossing my arms and leaning further against my chair.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Jiso exclaimed slamming her hands down in the table. I looked away and bowed my head down in guilt. "I'm so sorry I had to drag you into this mess, if I just could have done something, I don't- why am I so weak and pathetic" I said with tears of anger. "You stop right there missy! You are a great person you are a great leader its in your nature! Your mother is the one to blame not yourself" she said. I sigh and look at her with sad eyes. "And for dragging me into this situation...well remember where ever you go I go we are inseparable" she said with her square smile. I smiled back at her and then I remembered the things I took.

"Oh by the way you are now under the royal family Princess Jeong Jiso cousin to queen Jeong Solji" I said taking off my princess bracelet and putting it on her wrist. She looked at me wide eyed and quickly started taking it off. "N-no Solji, no this is yours" she said. Shaking my head I smirked and lifted my arm to show her the bracelet that was made for the queen. "I got my own" I said smiling cheekily. "You snake" she said. "Hey besides that bracelet looks mighty fine on your wrist" I said smiling at the fact that she looked like she was part of the Saeruy royal family.

Laughing she made a pose and then looked down at the bracelet. "Its an honor to be named under the royal family" she giggled looked at me. "So what do you plan on doing right now with the whole search and kill going on" she asked. "Well why don't we play a little hide and seek with my dear mother, she loves to play that game a lot" I said smirking. Jiso looked at me and rolled her eyes but laughed anyways. "Also, did you take the crown" she asked me as she took out some dumplings to serve.

"Of course I did its mine why wouldn't I take something that's mine" I said laughing. "You are such a snake" she laughed setting up the table so we could eat. Getting up I got water to boil and some tea herbs. I looked out the small window to check on the horses, everything looked fine. "About what I plan on doing is...well I'm planning on going to Silla. I know I know but no one except the outside citizens know me, plus if I go there my mom would least expect me to hide there. Considering that my mother and Queen Jisoo don't like each other" I said. Jiso sighed and sat down pouring tea for both of us.
