[at the palace garden]

Mina and Nayeon with the other servants are doing gardening as the day goes, tending the plants from the back till the front. The strawberry's plants are located only a few metres away from the entrance. Nayeon saw the mini mini strawberry fruit that starts to grow and ask Mina about it, and she happily explains to Nayeon about the fruiting cycle.

"General Mina, King Dubu want to have words with you" A guard standing near the entrance with his head lowered.

Mina and Nayeon follow the guard to the King's chamber, they enter and greeted him. Dubu already sitting nicely waiting for them.

"Mina-ya, weeks ago I sent a few groups of warriors to roam around the nation just for tracking down the Black Falcon Clan, last night I have received the info of their hidden location," Dubu spread out a map and pointed at somewhere.

"So what's your plan, hyung?"

"we're going to attack and wipe them out, are you in?"

"yes, hyung"

They plan to bring five hundred troops to ambush the Black Falcon Clan and need to spend a night in the forest since it's located behind the Black Peak mountain near the Loo Kim river.

General Mina immediately gathers five hundred troops and announce the plan of the attack, asking them to prepare and rest more for that day.

[next few days]

Nayeon is in charge of defending the palace along with the remaining troops. King Dubu and General Mina led the five hundred warriors and archers to the west. They sent a temporary camp after going through the Black Peak mountain to rest in the early evening because they planned to ambush in the dark.

Mina and few warriors go ahead to check the Black Falcon clan. They prone on the grass field to protect Mina while she is observing and counting the guards through a metal bronze binocular.

They prone and run back to their camp. Dubu let his sister lead the plan.

Mina pointing at the map, "So there are twenty-six guards outside, archers will join me to aim afar after that, some of us will steal their attire to get inside, we will open the entrance after thirty minutes sharp"

Dubu crossing her arms while listening to her, "Roger"

"okay, thirty minutes... start from now..."

The remaining troops stay in the camp waiting for King Dubu order later in 30 minutes.

Fifty archers follow Mina for attacking the guards, they perfectly aim before releasing the arrow and killed the twenty-six guards.

The 25 archers stay behind the wood and the remaining 25 archers plus Mina ran to the dead bodies, remove their outer and wear it, throwing away the arrow then clean the evidence. Dragging the corpse all the way and covers them with dried leaves.

Now, how to get inside?

Mina gathered them, "now all of you create a ruckus. just start a fight make some noise until someone comes out"

They start to shout and act, grabbing others by collar and fight, getting messed up and louder noise.

A Commando guard comes out from the entrance, "What Are Those Noise!!??" "you all wanna DIE!?"

It worked! the entrance is open!

"Sorry, sir! it's my fault for not being able to calm them down" said Mina.

"wait, you're so unfamiliar, i never saw you before" He tilted his head to check Mina's face.

"It's my first day here, sir!"

"what's your name?" asked the Commando.

think of a name Mina, Think!!

"Nami is my name, sir"

"If you guys fight again i will call the leader to kill you all!!"

"sorry sir, we won't do it again," said the archers.

"okay Nami, sorry I couldn't recognize you, I will remember you, see you tomorrow" He smiled flirtatiously at Mina.

Eww... you're not my type
"Hahah, yes sir"

Suddenly he kneeled down and touch the ground, "what is this? blood?"

almost thirty minutes, I should hurry!

"yes sir, looks like someone is bleeding"

He swipes the blood on his fingertip, "who is bleeding?"

Mina took the knife from her waist and pierce his neck, "you, sir"

Blood gushing out from his neck, he holds with his palm and stares at Mina, "y..-y..-you..." He collapsed to the ground.

The archers wow-ed by Mina cool action but everyone need to stay quiet while waiting for the others.
