as they watched youngho take jaeyoung away to get her somewhere safe, most of them were taking their swords out and started preparing.

taeyong was frantic, he was scared to believe that the day they wished never came was finally here. "intruders! they have passed the walls!" jaehyun yelled, eyes widening as he could see the attackers climb up the high protective walls of the palace, so much fore protection.

"jisung, stay close." kun uttered, worried that someone would attack them randomly.

renjun coughed, seeing a fellow knight going back, instead of fighting the attackers, he was going the other way and that made renjun alert. "is it me... or..." he eyed the walls, seeing the other knights advancing on them.

he gasped, "t-treason!" his voice squeaked, turning to warn his brothers, but they were far off from him and the closest one was taeyong.

renjun huffed and was about to call for the older prince when he saw a knight from behind taeyong, about to charge him with a gun. a shrill scream was heard as renjun pushed taeyong away, the bullet piercing his shoulder.

tears formed in the rim of his eyes as he toppled over taeyong. the older male shot his eyes open in horror, seeing blood ooze out of renjun's shoulder as the now pained boy whispered, "someone's in the palace. we need to get to jaeyoung now."

doyoung ran towards the two, crouching down as he panicked, "renjun!? how– what the–"

taeyong gulped and helped renjun up, letting him fall into doyoung's arm instead. "take him somewhere safe. a treason is now happening, don't trust anyone."

doyoung bit his lip and called for the others. taeil and lucas grabbed onto renjun as they carried him out, with some of their brothers fighting off the knights who betrayed them.

jaehyun pointed his gun towards the guy who shot renjun, "who are you?"

a wicked laugh emitted from the metal helmet, "what a shame princess didn't get to enjoy the cake you made. i am xzavis, from the seven scimitars." the male took off the helmet, revealing a blonde haired boy.

"i'm the third scimitar, and i can't believe you had the guts to fall in love with one of our kind." xzavis uttered, rolling his eyes. "too bad, princess haera has fallen asleep, as well as prince youngho." he laughed, "i wonder where...."

mark gritted his teeth, "give them back!"

xzavis pursed his lips, "oh we will, when they're dead."

sicheng gasped, "no!"

"war has fallen in heraphany, geez i wonder what it's like to live in this huge land we once saw as home."

yuta crossed his arms, "you were thrown away for a reason. you betrayed queen hera!"

"she was worth betraying." xzavis retorted, "a selfish queen–"

"she is not!"

"oh she is." xzavis spat.

"you are going to die, for you have betrayed your own kind." taeyong drew back his sword and grabbed his gun.

groaning, her heavy lids slowly lifted up, her body sore and tired. coughing out what seemed to be blood, she had almost forgotten what happened awhile ago.

the knights, the knights had betrayed them and separated her from youngho. they threw her in the dungeon and beat her up slowly until she lost conscious.
