'That's the prince Jennie. He's going to rule over the capital when he grows up.'

'What about the first prince?'

'The second prince is going to be king, that's for sure.'

...

'I told you to fucking kill him! Are you trying to play with me?!'

'I'm sorry, I'll do it next time. Don't worry, I'll get it done.'

'You better fucking do it, or the one ending up dead will be you!'

...

'Daddy why are we moving again?'

'Don't you like your new home Jennie?'

'I want to see mum...'

'Mum isn't around anymore, you won't be able to see her...'

'But daddy-'

'Should we go check out the garden? You love flowers don't you?'

...

'You have a family now, don't worry.'

'Why are you helping me?'

Jennie looks at the man with a raised eyebrow. She's all hurt and sore all over her body, even has a broken leg, but she looks suspiciously at the bearded man.

'I was once like you. Lost, alone. But I choose to not give up on life. Now I have people I have to look after.' The man says as he blows out smoke from his cigarette.

'How do I know I can trust you?' Jennie says as she grips onto her knife.

'Well I can't convince you with anything. But if I were to kill you, I would've done it ages ago, and not bothering with patching you up.'

'You can convince me with a meal.'

The man chuckles and calls out loudly.

'Jongho! Our guest is hungry!'

...

'Where can I find Choi Wonho?'

Hanbin sighs. He had just woken up, and now surrounded by 8 men, giving him deadly glares.

'Are my siblings safe?' He says weakly.

'Yes, they are. They're actually with us now. You can see them if you tell us where we can find the bastard.'

'He's going to try and leave the capital. But I don't know when. You need to find these 6 men, if they're dead, you're too late.' Hanbin says as he takes a piece of paper and write down names.

'You know what to do.' Seonghwa says to Yunho, who leaves with the list right away.

'Please don't let her die...' Hanbin says and frowns. 'She almost died because of me, I can't let her...'

'I'll save her, no matter what, don't worry about it.' Seonghwa says and leaves the room. The others follow him, nervous as they've been separated from the girl for too long.

'When Yunho comes back with the list, we'll go separately to find the people, if they're all dead, we need to go to the pier.'

They all nod, feeling anxious about the whole operation.

'Let's put an end to this all.'

Seonghwa quickly leads the group into his office. He directs them to go find the 6 men as Yunho comes back with their background information.

'Go straight to the pier if your target is dead. Don't hesitate to shoot Wonho dead if you see him, we don't care if he's alive or not, we can't let him get away.'

'Why can't we just wait there?'

'If we all gather up there now he's not going to go there. We need him to think he has a chance to escape.' Seonghwa explains.

'Let's get going now.'

The group separates, going to each of the homes of their own target. Seonghwa rides on his horse, determined to solve the situation.

He's going to find her, no matter what.
