inside a bustling village near the border of chevaria, yeonjun was walking rather impatiently towards a small house, rubbing his hands together. he was pretty nervous to see her, and it was an important matter.
he just received a letter that was sent by kai. it reads—
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
he realized how terrifying it must be, being a moon angel in efaeryn. he felt sad for taehyun, and his heart ached to see the blondie again.
yeonjun's going to do it, of course. he has no choice. he couldn't even pick the option where he could just opt to let them suffer and lose his blondie—
lose..the blondie?
no, no, never. that won't happen. not in a thousand years. he is determined to not let the moon angels suffer, and he will make sure of that, and to end the two wars.
the woman beside him tapped his arm, “yeonjun-ah, you seem deep in your thoughts.”
he glanced at her and smiled softly, “oh, i am. i was just thinking of the letter kai sent me..it's very concerning..”
wendy frowns and looks back ahead, and goes a little closer to the king regent.
“i have seen it for myself, yeonjun. it's alarming, and you know how his father is cunning and cruel. and about that boy..” she sighs, fixing her hair and tying it up to a simple (but sort of messy) ponytail, “are you sre about this? i support it, of course, but i'm asking this to ensure chevaria's safety. our safety. and even if we become allies with beomgyu, it's still dangerous.”
yeonjun stops to a halt, and looks at wendy with a smirk gracing his lips, and he chuckled softly.
“noona, you're that concerned? do you remember how we managed to be allies with tilunaida and somehow manage to convince emperor baekhyun to be allies with me, a self-proclaimed narcissist and an “arrogant little shit”?” he looks ahead and walks, “and besides, when i was training to be a performer, i ranked first in the monthly evaluations. no one even came close to defeating me.”
wendy shrugs and fishes out a water jug and drinks, “whatever floats your boat, i guess. nobody can really argue with that, yeonjun-ah.”
they stopped at a cottage with a moon engraved at it's wooden door. there were flowers beneath their feet and small carpet. wendy knocks on the door and they heard shuffling, and thus, the owner of the cottage opened the door.
she looked to be a woman in her 20s, her cherry blossom hair slightly messy and her clothes a disarray. her black, long-sleeved shirt wasn't tucked in her matching black trousers, and was barefoot. she looks at yeonjun in surprise, and smiles at wendy, as if she were an old friend. she caressed a black cat with orange eyes and smiles.
“oh, hello there. what brings you two to my cottage?” kang chaewon asks, ushering the knight and the king regent inside, placing her cat down to the table and prepares some tea.
“um, there's a problem that we have encountered, and it endagers the moon angels..” yeonjun replies in uncertainty as he looks around her house, seeing a lot of sigils and the recurring theme of black and flowers all around the house, with a few plants that seem to grow by themselves.
the cat stares at yeonjun and it looks at chaewon, meowing softly. she mutters a soft expression of shock and looks at them, smiling.
“oh, it's about the circumstances surrounding efaeryn, huh? knew i could count on you, nyx~” she cooed, scratching the cat's chin and it purred happily. wendy looks at her incredulously, “how do you know this?”
she shrugs, “a necromancer never tells their secrets~” she teased before giggling. the cat glanced at yeonjun and it looked like it winked at him. what the hell?
yeonjun kneels by the cat and stares at it, visibly confused at what the fuck is happening right now. the cat seemed to stare back and hissed at him, and yeonjun look up at wendy and hides behind her, looking at the cat cautiously.
nyx seemed to enjoy this and purrs before wendy picks it up and scratched their head. chaewon looks smiles cutely and giggles.
“so, about that, you want us to summon kai, sorin, and beomgyu right now? do you want that? but i'm not good at conjuration, though. a friend of mine is, but he's busy..”
yeonjun frowns at the mention of sorin and sighs, “not yet. as you might have heard, they are resting right now. i want them to return at full recovery, and i just..” he trails off, looking away and his thoughts went to the blondie. the cat that was previously on wendy's arms has moved to hug his ankle, as if knowing that his emotions are a mess at the moment.
chaewon serves the tea to yeonjun and wendy, and the two girls share a stare and they smile at each other before they look at yeonjun drinking his tea quietly.
the girl ushers the other to sit down, and they did.
the cat walked to the table afterwards, and sits on the lap of chaewon, “yeonjun, you have two choices right now: summon them, or not.”
wendy offers her advice, “if you summon them, we could have a meeting and execute their plan properly, whatever it is. and if you choose to not summon them right now, we could possibly endanger each other; cause you would obviously sneak out of the kingdom again in order to do this.”
the boy sighs, and chaewon looks at nyx, quietly patting it's head. she feels like everything's becoming a mess, and she just wants to go to efaeryn and take care of taehyun, but circumstances seem to suggest otherwise.
