we are soulmates? | Michaeng ✅

Chapter 19 - trying other path

[on the way to the Myoui Kingdom]

"i'm very embarrassed, please don't laugh at me," said Mina while riding the horse.

"sorry princess, it's my first time to witness your soft side, I will try" Nayeon press her lips together to hold it.

"let's continue where we are just now" Mina changed the topic like she always did.

"what topic?"

"Jeongyeon and Tzuyu"

"owh," Nayeon trying to think how to tell her.

Mina patiently wait for her to speak.

"do you remember when you asked me what is love?"

"mmhm," Mina nods.

"that boy is Yoo Jeongyeon..., He is Sana husband"

"this world is so small..." Mina muttered.

"yeah, he is having a blessing life right now, so i'm happy for him too" Nayeon forced a smile.

Mina doesn't know how to comfort her, "Umm, don't worry Nayeon, you might find your soulmate soon, i'm sure that person will be the one for you"

Nayeon sighs deeper as she repeating Tzuyu's word in her mind.

"Don't get your hopes too high, i might be your soulmate but i don't have the heart to be one"

"How about Tzuyu? what are you talking about?"

Nayeon eyes get teary out of blue, Mina surprised when she saw her personal bodyguard eyes teary like that, "What Did He Do? He Hurt You!? How Dare That Tall Tree Prince!?"

"He is... my soulmate..."

Mina eyes widened, "Tzuyu!?"

Nayeon sigh, "yes, but it's an absolute fact that we couldn't be an item, He seems to hate me and i don't know why,"

Mina confused at the fact of those two are soulmates. God, why their fate is so complicated??

"princess, why don't we use the alternative way, maybe we could decrease the possibility of the attack, let's try this way" Nayeon pointed at the other path.

"i'm glad I have a clever bodyguard like you, let's go" Mina pulls the rope to the left, and they went to the other path.

"I will check the compass" Nayeon observe the compass-needle, "this way" She takes a turn and Mina follows.

There are a lot more turns in the new path they choose, which made it takes more time to arrive at the Myoui Kingdom.

They saw some silhouette ahead and hear unloading swords sounds.

Alerted, Nayeon took out her sword too as well as Mina taking an arrow from her quiver. Those silhouette turns out to be a bunch of black assassins, which looks similar to the last night assassins, but it's not seven, it's like ten-, twenty-, more than twenty.

Black Falcon Clan again?

They start to charge without reason since they have more in number, Nayeon jumps down and walks to the front of the horses to defend her princess, Mina starts to shoot them and felt her left shoulder is not as painful as yesterday.

Counts every shot that hit the foe,

One,

Two...

Three..

Four,

Nayeon fights all the way with her swordsmanship skill while Mina trying not to aim the enemy near her or it might accidentally pierce Nayeon with her arrow.

Nine,

Ten,

Eleven,

Tw—

DUK!!

Mina felt something hit really hard behind her head, her eyesight blurred and she fell from her horse, even though she get caught by the assassin before she reaches the ground, but she is unconscious.

"MINAAAAA!!!!!" Nayeon shouted all the way when she saw Mina was attacked by the assassin. Taking advantage of the situation, the assassin slashed Nayeon on the arm, unfortunately, her dodge was not that successful, getting a knife-cut on her arm, unable to defend herself. The other assassins behind her knocked her head too, and she passed out.
