It was a long night indeed. Eunsom decided to get up after trying hard to sleep. His mind set on finding the traitor. He finds Ipsaeng by the window.

"Have you had that feeling that something is gonna happen?" Eunsom nods. Since he left Iark he had that feeling.

"Just saying Eunsom, Arthdal is big," Ipsaeng sigh. "That's a wall you want to fight."

"Since when did you become smart?" Eunsom jokes.

"I am smart! That's why I am sayin' this ..."

"Then are you running away?" He looks straight at Ipsaeng. It won't be a first.

Ipsaeng laughs. "I should ... but those Neanthal women are just ... " he sighs.

Eunsom laughs. "Fell really hard for them? Honestly you have to choose one. You can't fall for both of them. I thought you fancy Chaeeun too." Ipsaeng smiles widely. Eunsom shakes his head.

"I am going to change the guard last night. You try learn some training like the rest, it would benefit you," Eunsom suggests starting to go outside.

"Want me to join you? I am not good with weapons. Or hand combat. Don't you think I am made for better stuff?" He smirks proudly.

"Like what? Dal-sae joins in. He too is awake at this time. Everyone is not at ease it seems.

"I could be the brains. My mind can foresee the battlefield. I can develop the strategies ...." Ipsaeng brags all the way outside.

"Honestly, the Neanthals are the best weapon we can use. One Neanthal can wipe half of Arthdal's army. And we have four. Four!" Ipsaeng exclaims.

"Are you even listening ..." Dal-sae gestures to silence Ipsaeng as Eunsom halts suddenly.

Both stand still not wanting to say anything.

Even from afar, the stark whiteness of the priestess gown shine brightly

Even from afar, the stark whiteness of the priestess gown shine brightly. She is with the masked warrior.

"Uhm, we will go ahead Eunsom. I remember that me and Dal-sae need to arrange something, right?!" He nudge Dal-sae forward not waiting for a reply.

Eunsom couldn't look away. He can clearly see Tanya leaning on the warrior, asleep.

Why is she with him?

He looks at the warrior, he holds her with gentleness. He wrapped his arm to her keeping her nestled at his lap. Eunsom hides at the back of the tree to avoid being seen.

Tanya wakes up to soft nudge from Yangcha. She stretch lazily. She hears an exasperated sigh from the man beside her.

"Enough Tanya," he says amused.

"What am I doing?" Tanya laughs. He doesn't answer and she feels him tense up. She opens her eyes and try to see what distracts Yangcha.

Coming fast are a group of armed men. Some in horses, some on foot. They are coming straight at them.
