Return (✔)

This is just a beginning..

"What's that noise??" Mi-yeon and Hee-joon looked into each other worriedly.
They just heard a noisy sound as soon as they got into the palace.
They quickly hop off the horse and run through the people.
Their eyes widened as soon as they saw Tae-woo was beaten up by a few palace guards.
Sang-chul, Prince Chul-woo and even Chul-soo was trying to help Tae-woo but the guards blocked them.
Eun-mi,vIn-hye and the others are also there. Even lady Yuri and her daughter were watching from a far.
"That's for helping a traitor.. you shouldn't do such thing Tae-woo ssi.." Queen Taeyeon suddenly showed up with a smirk on her face.
"You just ruined your reputation as the best admiral here.."
"Eomma.. stop it, what are you doing?" Chul-soo shouted.

"Your grace, please stop.." Sang-chul still struggled to free up from those guards. Him alone couldn't compete with those guards.
"Why should I stop.. continue on beating him.. I don't care if he's dead.." The queen  ordered.
As soon as receiving the order, the guards continue beating Tae-woo up.
"Ani, Kang Tae-woo!!" Mi-yeon shouted making everyone looked at her including Hee-joon.
"Mi-yeon ssi, don't..." Hee-joon tried to stop her but even before he does, Mi-yeon already ran towards Tae-woo to help him.
Chul-soo just watched her from afar. He suddenly became speechless.
"Here comes another traitor.." The queen smirked.
Mi-yeon just glared at her with full of anger in her eyes.
"I'm glad you came back.. for the main event.." The queen said.
"Stop it, what do you want from me? Why did you have to kill everyone?" Mi-yeon glanced at Sang-chul.

"..including Sang-chul's parent??" Mi-yeon voice out, shocking Sang-chul.
"Mwo?? Mi-yeon, what do you mean?" Sang-chul asked.
"It's their own fault for resisting to give me that dirty woman.." Queen Taeyeon said without feeling guilty at all.
"They're innocent!!" Mi-yeon shouted.
"Mi-yeon ssi.. what did you said?? My parents.." Sang-chul asked again.
Mi-yeon just clenched her fist, feeling bad to tell Sang-chul.
"This 'grace' woman... killed them.. I'm just back from your house and.. and saw them laying on the ground. They died in front of me!!"
"I didn't kill them.. they killed themselves by resisting.. the guards could do nothing but kill them.. I'm not even there for your information.. they died protecting this girl.. and her mother.. if you haven't brought your mother to that house, his parents would probably still alive.."

"What??" Sang-chul confused.
"You ordered them to do it.. I won't ever forgive you!!" Mi-yeon yelled.
"No.. you're lying, don't you?" Sang-chul was still shocked about that news. He can't accept the fact.
"Sang-chul ah..." Mi-yeon said trying to hold her tears.
"Ani... ani...byou're lying.." Sang-chul suddenly lost his balance and kneel on the ground.
Mi-yeon didn't dare to watch Sang-chul, she knew what it feels like to lose someone.
She helped Tae-woo to stand up before glaring at the queen.
"My mother.. Where is she??" Mi-yeon asked.
Hearing the word 'mother', Chul-soo immediately eyed her.
"Mother? So now you're admitting that she's your mother?" The queen crossed her arm on her chest.
Mi-yeon was about to say 'yes' but Hee-joon came beside her out of nowhere stopping her.

"Give us Aunt Joohyun.. and we'll never come back again." Hee-joon spoke out.
"Well, well, well.. so you're in this too Baek Hee-joon?" The queen grinned evilly.
"Hee-joon, you shouldn't protect me.. She's just putting up a trap.." Mi-yeon whispered.
"Wait.." Chul-soo suddenly spoke out.
"Aunt Joohyun..byou mean,,bMaid Joohyun?.." Chul-soo's eyes widened.
"Worried??" The queen asked not to leave her smirk. Somehow, Chul-soo became speechless again.
"Hee-joon ssi.. go, take Tae-woo with you.. this is my problem now.." Mi-yeon said in a lower tone.
"I'm not leaving you.." Hee-joon insisted.
"Baek Hee-joon.. threatening me all this time wasn't enough for you.. now, you're going to spill the bean yourself." Queen Taeyeon compliment.
"Wait!! What's all this up to? I can't understand.. Hyung??." Chul-woo who didn't speak from the beginning began to ask.
But, no one would say a word.
"You'll understand later, son.."
