The Rise Of An Empress

Able Consort Kim

Right now the babies are missing from the palace.

At first everyone thought that the four legged animal was a cat who helped the enemies to steal the babies.

But the royal investigators' opinion were different. They have observed the evidences present in the room and corridor. According to them the animal was actually mongoose,the natural enemy of snake who killed the golden snake.

And the attacking mongoose were two in number and bigger than usual sizes. They were well planned and well trained enough that their entries into room were like one from front and one from behind. After killing the snake,they dragged the babies from cribs upto the back door ,from where someone collected both the babies and mongooses. Few black furs were found in dead snake's mouth. That means the enemies has used well trained black mongoose to get success in this mission.

Right now Goreyo is searching for unknown enemies who have killer black mongooses as pet & were seen anywhere near palace.

But seeming like the enemies have vanished with the babies and killer mongooses just from the palace.

"What are you planning now?" Kyungsoo says in cold voice entering Minseok's room. Kyungsoo had no objection to accept the blessing of dragon goddess. The first incidence at which Minseok wanted to use him to kill both the baby and Baekhyun was a lesson for him which kept haunting him after the incidence. This time he wanted to pay for sin and save the babies as Baekhyun trusted him and said Kyungsoo as also right on the babies.

"Right now palace is so sensitive . Don't say anything that you don't know. Hope the babies will be back soon," Minseok sighs.

" How they will be back if you don't let? Who else was unhappy except you? I swear if you don't let them back today,I will say everything that happened before. I don't care what will happen to me," Kyungsoo brusts into anger.

"Stop. I really don't have any involvement this time. Even if you do this,that will hamper the usual flow of investigation and prime suspect will be you. Do whatever you want. But don't disturb me about something in which I am not engaged."

Minseok has taken permission from queen mother to met his household . This is not a time to do something that can be dangerous ,but Minseok thought may be sometimes taking risk is better. Meeting with his household is not a big deal,as he used to do this often as routine work.

Entering into the Kim household , Minseok straightly steps towards the room of her aunt, Kim Hae Jin, who is now chief of Kim household.

" Is my dearest nephew is hesitating to say something?" Hae Jin smiles looking at silent Minseok.

"It's obviously you,aunt. You have no competent in whole Goreyo in planning," Minseok doesn't know how to start.

"Taking it as compliment," Hae Jin's red blood coloured lips draw a curve of evil smile.

"Where are the babies?" Minseok pours wine for his aunt.

"That's not your concern, Minseok. But I need to demonstrate something to you sooner," Hae Jin sips on the wine that Minseok has poured for her.

"But Kim household decided earlier that they wouldn't mess up with blessings of dragon goddess. Why suddenly they have changed the plan?That day you went palace for this planning. Why Kims right now doing something against our main goddess?"Minseok tries to act obedient to Hae Jin.

" I am not bound to answer you. But honestly already a lot of this family has proved themselves as failure including you. I won't do the same mistake. I don't want strengthen this legacy under my control. How long to influence and serve royal family? Why don't just let control them like puppets? I have decided not to depend on them anymore,I was them to be dependent on us," Hae Jin pours rest of the wine in her throat after talking slowly for long time.
