In a spaciously well decorated dinning area, Renjun jabbed his foods with a sharp knife, his eyes full of grievances. As the level of his anxiety increased he jabbed his foods a little bit faster and deeper the knife sunk in the steak. If Eun continues to behave like this, she might endup creating a massive storm during my birthday party tomorrow.
"Young master, someone is here to visit you today." Butler Zhou was at hesitant at first but the visitor seemed so impatient that she had mustered enough audacity to threaten the poor butler. "If I can't see him in a minute, then you will never get to see the sun the next morning!" Butler Zhou lowered his head. "Just give me a moment, Miss. Let me show you the way." Butler Zhou examined the girl for a moment before coming up with a quick conclusion.
How insolent.
"Oppa!" Butler Zhou eyed the girl in a leisure amusement. He almost choked on empty air. He almost in disbelief that this sweet girl was the ruthless girl who had threatened him just now. He stood silently at the corner of the room witnessing the thick skinned girl in astonishment. Not a moment he dared to speak up. "Hina! Why are you here this early?" Renjun scratched his head in a slow pace. His eyes had regained his previously missing sparks.
Hina frowned, "Am I disturbing you? Sorry I got anxious after hearing that Mia was the one who actually accepted Eun with open arms!" The words escaped her mouth empowered with pure jealousy and to her surprise, Renjun sensed it. His eyes contained an unusual glimmer that was hardly undetectable. Renjun nodded his head, fraud an agreement towards her statement.
"Of... Of course it's because I'm worry about your safety! She– she's a useless prick after all." Hina faked concern to cover her alibi. Renjun heaved sighed. His outlook was generally twisted but luckily she won him back. "I'll be fine on my own." Renjun smiled.
Renjun sensed a strong jealousy but as hatred conquered his feelings, he blindly agreed to work with Hina. "Oppa, what if we set up against that useless girl?" The corner of her lips twitched in sinisterly. Renjun widened his eyes.
She hates that prick, Eun so much? I thought she was an angel?
Renjun once again nodded, not knowing what to do. He felt an intriguing feelings of sympathy stroked his heart but at the same time, he was yearning for an avenge. Just this time, he thought. And just like that, Hina leaned in to whisper the details of her wicked plan. Renjun was left dumbfounded. He nodded his head unwillingly.

"Thanks for coming to my humble birthday celebration." Renjun bowed accordingly to what his parents had dictated him to do. He was standing firm inside the spacious ballroom. An enthralling grin spread along his beautiful face. Despite the numbers of people who were filling the remaining empty spaces like a list of attributes, Renjun eyes were roaming around the crowd seemingly searching for something missing.
As his eyes landed on an accustomed figure, his heart softened. "Miss Nakamura!" Renjun smiled, this time his smile was different it was a bit twisted but still invisible to one's eyes. "Uh please excuse us for a while." Renjun instinctively held Hina's hand before dragging her along. Mia who witnessed the scene was startled. However, she remained her serenity.
She was going to chase after those two but her hands were tied. Renjun and her were assigned to greet people therefore if she had left along with Renjun, who was left to greet the people? Mia's eyes quickly scanned the growing number of the crowd to search for Eun. Alas, Eun didn't seem to be interested in events therefore she retreated from the place earlier.
Mia was left with no choice but to send Eun a telepathy. Even so, Mia's effort was left unread. Mia spotted 2 of her loyal maids and tasked them to call Eun.

KNOCK! KNOCK!
Eun ignored. The incessant knocking sound were not going to subside any soon until she answered it. Eun was furious. Who the hell interrupted her deep slumber!? Whoever they were, they shall face Eun's wrath. "Aight! I'm coming, I'm coming!" Eun twisted the doorknob, inflamed. To her surprise, it was the two maids that she had made friends out of.
During these two days, Eun had made plenty of friends in the palace. It was because of her aptitude for being warm and easily approachable that put her in such situation. People in the palace could not help but admire her attitude. Commonly, people who enters the palace with a specific job or task which is higher than the maids and butlers would not show them an equal treatment. Usually they act cold.
The unrestrained rage in Eun's heart shrinked drastically. She was planning to dismember the body of the culprit behind the door who had forced her to wake up but as soon as she was greeted by the maids, the intention was no longer exist. "Seola, Luda? Do you need my help to chase the old man away, again? I'm sorry I should have opened the door earlier!" Eun frowned apologetically.
"No! It's fine! Really. Young master Mia asked us to fetch you up from your room. Young master seemed to have trouble with something." Luda spoke as she frowned. "Wait let me change into my attire." Eun grabbed her blue robe and tied a flimsy belt that merely looked like a thread across her small waist. Not leaving behind her weapons, she hid the weapons well from one's sight that it appeared like she was carrying almost nothing! Eun looked regal and intimidating still. She looked like a fine lad in her attire, always.

"Mia! I heard something is troubling you, spill it out and I'll settle it." Eun panted. After hearing about Mia's situation, Eun did not spare even a second to get to Mia faster. Mia jolted. She wasn't anticipating that Eun would come down in a lightning speed. "Renjun seemed to be occupied with something. He left early with Hina on his side. I... frankly.. I have trust issues when it comes to Hina. She's slick." Mia's face was tomato red. She thought that she was corrupted to have such thinking toward one. But she was left with no choice.
Ever since she overheard Hina's dirty conversation with her mother, Mia completely changed. Hina promised her mother to tackle Renjun for the sake of wealth and power. As Renjun's little sister Mia knew her brother very well. He would choose his lover over family. So once again, Mia was left with no choice but to secretly protect his brother though she longed realize that she was hopeless after all.
"Which way did they go?" Eun asked with no hesitation. Mia pointed directly at the corridor that Renjun dragged Hina to. "Don't worry to much. Your face is draining its radiance. You can count on me." Eun cracked a delightful smile before walking casually towards the direction.
