"Perhaps. I'm sure the princess would want to do something as well. Am I correct?" (Y/n) rose a brow at Hak. He gave a smile.

"Yeah."

"Anyways, I need to set things up to make sure the rats die in this place," (Y/n) said. She turned towards Yoon. "How long will the medicine last? Do you know?" (Mama) Yoon places a finger on his chin and looked as though he was deep in thought.

"Perhaps three days," Yoon said. "But you shouldn't do anything yourself right now."

"No," (Y/n) smirked at the young boy. "I prefer to not take any orders." Yoon stood there dumbfounded.

"I guess I can't say anything to empress," Yoon sighed and crossed his arms. "But here," He reaches into his pocket and took out a small sachet. "There are two medicine balls in this pouch. Use it wisely." (Y/n) walked over to Yoon and took the pouch.

"Thank you," then the empress started to walk over to the direction of the sea. But she abruptly stopped and turned around to look at Hak and the others. "I suppose we will see each other soon."

-

Shortly after separating from Hak and the others, (Y/n) went back to the shop she hijacked.

'I suppose I should keep up the persona that my other self portrayed..'

Her (e/c) orbs scanned the area until she saw the sailor that she had been terrorizing. Almost quickly, she strides towards him.

"Are there any updates on that bastard?" (Y/n)'s voice came out sharp and authoritative and her gaze made the sailor freeze.

"Y-yes my lady!" He trembled even more as he looked at (Y/n)'s eyes for a split second. "I-it seems t-that he is g-going to continue with his h-human trafficking..." His voice got quieter and quieter by each word.

"Human trafficking huh..." she smirked. "To where?"

"Kai Empire..." (Y/n) narrowed her eyes upon the sound of Kai. "When is he going to conduct his business?"

"Tomorrow night.. A-and it seems that C-captain Gi-Gan is also planning on taking Kum-ji down," the sailor said as he averted his eyesight to the ground.

"Hmm.. Interesting. Prepare the ship and make sure we have bows and arrows as well as matches. Make sure we have lots of weapons. Oh and make the ship look like one of Kum-Ji's ship," (Y/n) looked at the blue sky. "We are going to war." She then jumped to the railing of the ship and smiled.

"It seems that I can live as the Bloody War Empress once more.."

-

(Y/n) sat in her throne-like chair in the dark room of her ship. She wiped her sword with a white cloth and made sure it shone under the light. The sun already made its beautiful exit and the night took the world with the stars. It was almost time to start the war.

The ship that (Y/n) was on successfully blended in with other ships that belongs Kum-Ji. They were at the very back and were waiting until another group to attack. They waited for hours and hours until one of (Y/n)'s henchmen bursted into the room.

"My lady.. F-Fireworks has been s-sighted. It seems that t-the other group s-started their attack.."

"Alright," She rose her her full height and put her sword into the sheath. "Prepare the arrows as well as the matches. We will start taking the ships nearby."

The empress walked out of her little room and started to walk behind the archers. Her eyes scanned the archers as they prepared to get into firing position. The arrows were lit with fire at the tip.

"Attack."

At the sound of her command, the orange tinted arrows glided through the night sky as they started to rain down upon to the nearest ship. From the other ship, the people there could only see a glimpses of (Y/n)'s face from the light that the arrows produced.

"Fire the cannons once I give the signal. Make sure the little rafts are ready," then the empress waited until her shop was closer to the one she attacked. Once it was close enough, she jumped to the railings of the enemy ship. (Y/n) slowly unsheathes her sword as the men on the ship rose their weapons in the fire stricken ship.

"Shall we dance?"

-

"White Snake, what are you lazing around for?" Hak had his weapon up and ready as he had his back to Kija.

"You are the one whose blows have become dull!" Kija retorted back.

"I'm being sluggish, that's why I didn't kill them all," Hak responded.

"I wasn't talking about your savage weapo—" Kija was cut off by a kunai being thrown next to them. It landed on an enemy and somehow knocked them down.

"I know you're uptight right now, but since you are here, do your job," Captain Gi-gan has her kunai in her hand as she stood on the upper part of the ship. "You guys are depressing. Your friends are fine."

"It seems that the captain is the most enthusiastic one about this.." Kija whispered.

"We have to cut down Kum-ji's forces by half. It is then that we can drag him out..." Gi-gan said as she looked over at the ocean. "Once we nab him, this fight will be over. Once we do that you can go help that red-haired girl, seduce her or whatever else you want to do."

"That would be good," Hak replies with an unenthusiastic expression.

"What did you say?"

"Huh?" Gi-gan looked over to the orange light at the back of Kum-Ji's ships. "What's that light..?" Hak and Kija looked over in the direction where the captain was looking at.

"The ships are sinking..?" Kija questioned.

"Ah. It must be the empress," Hak said nonchalantly as he remember the words that the empress said before she left.

"Is it one of your friends?" Gi-gan asked.

"Yeah. She's an ally."

-

Standing on a blazing and sinking ship was the figure of (Y/n). She looked at the blood-stained deck as well as the crimson flames burned the ship. Her expression was empty as she turned away. But as soon as she looked at the other enemy ship nearby, she saw a familiar red-haired girl.

'Princess?'

Almost immediately, she leaped into the small boat nearby, then to the ship that Yona was on. Her footsteps was clear and so Yona quickly turned back to see who was making the sound.

"Empress!?" Yona's eyes enlarged and lights up. "What are you doing here?"

"The same reason you are here for, Princess," the empress smiled at the young princess. "The fire back there," (Y/n) pointed to the destroyed ships, "was my doing. We rescued the hostages, so my princess doesn't need to worry." She rose her hand and patted Yona's hair. "But first." The Empress took the bow and arrow nearby and aimed it at Kum-ji, who was on a small ship nearby. "We need to kill the rat." Her (e/c) eyes glances at Yona in the corner of her eyes, but what the empress saw made her lower the weapon. Yona's fiery expression can't be ignored.

"Princess should do the honours," (Y/n) handed the bow and arrow to Yona and she gladly accepted it. (Y/n) places her hands on Yona's shoulders as the princess aimed at Kum-ji.

"Kill him."
