LIGHT YEARS • [MɪCʜᴀᴇɴɢ]

19

The royal highness has a tea alone under the rest house outside of the palace. The cold wind that came from the south hit Chaeyoung's face, she closes her eyes to feel relax and let her body to feel the moment, but every time that she closes her eyes the nightmare of yesterday is still hunting her.

She heard people screaming and lastly, she can capture her childhood friends which are Dahyun and others. She opens her eyes and she still hunting by those nightmares.

Chaeyoung sips her tea and she looks to the mountain from her east "May that mountain will last forever" she eats a small amount of food.

Chaeyoung walks down in the village of Catnedwil alone, the villagers bows down to the Royal highness while the small girl is passing them by.

A kid runs to Chaeyoung, she stops walking when the kid keeps on pulling Chaeyoung's red dress. Chaeyoung bends her knees to face the kid "hello, where is your mother?" she asked the kid who is probably lost, the kid keeps on blinking her eyes that made Chaeyoung smile sweetly to her.

"Hwang Jung Ha!!" She heard a voice and she follows where the voice came from she saw an old lady who is looking to her child. Chaeyoung looks to the kid who is in front of her "So you are probably Hwang Jung ha?" Chaeyoung lift the kid and she walks toward to the lady who is looking for her child "Excuse me, I think this is your Son"

The lady looks to the Royal highness with a surprised face, she immediately kneels to Chaeyoung while crying "Your highness I didn't deserve the kindness that you did to me" she almost kisses Chaeyoung's foot but Chaeyoung steps back "You don't have to do it, you didn't do anything wrong you are just looking for your child. Now get up and go home." Chaeyoung commanded the lady, she then let Jung Ha go to her mother and her mother stood up.

Chaeyoung faced back, ready to go back to her palace but then the old lady calls her name without proper respect "Son Chaeyoung, the highness of Eros" she stops from walking when the old lady addresses her name without giving proper respect.

She turns around while her eyebrows arc up "What did you just say?" the old lady smiles to her "Can we talk?" the servant heard that that's why they immediately protect the royal highness.

"Okay, what are the things that we need to talk about?"

One of Chaeyoung's servant looks to her with a questionable look.

"You just need to know the truth"

She tilted her head in confusion "What truth?"

"We need to talk in private, not here. We can talk in your palace if you don't have any trust in me" the old woman proudly says.

Chaeyoung agreed that they will talk in the palace, while Chaeyoung is on her horse on the way to her Palace she is wondering what truth that the old lady will say to her.

In the meeting hall of the palace the two faces each other "Now tell it to me"

The old lady inhales deeper "Tzuyu is the one who put the dead bird in front of the Palace of Eros she ordered Dahyun to do it, I mean to put it in front of the Palace. Your sister isn't the one who put that. She is not a traitor!"

Chaeyoung stomp her fist to the table "I knew it!" she squinted her eyes "Who are you?" she slowly moves her face in front of the old lady "I was once a servant in the Palace of Onux, I heard them talking about Eros and then Tzuyu died and also Dahyun"

Mina heard from outside and she can feel that Chaeyoung is furious enough. The door opens and she hugs Chaeyoung from behind, Chaeyoung feel a little bit calm when Mina hugs her from behind, she holds Mina's hand "I knew it, she deserves to die" Mina tightens her hug from behind "Then don't step down as a Royal highness, everyone will need you"

Chaeyoung smiles and she kiss Mina's hand.
