,, what the hell ?" The doors shut again to the kings chambers jongin frowned walking further inside
,, what are you doing !?"

The king was lazily eating berries while he looked at the map.
,, what is it now?"

,, what is it now ? You're arresting people without evidence ! You're arresting innocent people! " he walked closer completely irritated and fed up.

,, innocent " the elder huffed in ridiculousness ,, you said it yourself we have traitors in this castle.. they are elfs-"
,, so they're responsible for it ? What kind of mindset is that? " he frowned actually wondering if he had meant it serious or if he had just been Ill or making a sick joke. ,, they're servants.. most of them have worked here for years, I've TALKED to some of these people ! they're no murderer-"
,, ENOUGH !"his uncle hit his fist onto the table causing jongin to stand still again left with only frowning down at him.

,, what's with you ? No really what is the matter with you ?"
Jongin shock his head in disbelief.
,, you have to let them go, this isnt right.. this isnt how we should do things-"
,, do you think I have time to listen to every little one of their excuses ! I make the decision not you ! This is my castle my people ! And I say this is how it is "

Finally his uncle stood up himself to walk further away from him glaring at the younger while he did so.
But jongin wouldnt back down so easily. ,, everyone deserves a chance to defend themselves especially when theres no evidence for the crime.. being elf doesn't prove anything.. it could've been a human who betrayed us for gold. you're wasting your time, energie and you're wasting lives "

The king finally turned pulling a little bag out of his belt before he threw it onto the table.

Irritated jongin glanced at it when his uncle had just looked at him expectantly obvious wanting him to take a look at it.

He reached his hand out to it, opening it slowly to find white pearls inside.
,, they're from the black forest. black pearls, ... we found several in the elves rooms... and this bag, the origin it was in one of the elves servants, an elf girl. She is the one who spread it out to the other elves shes responsible and the others went along, which makes them all guilty. "

Shocked yet confused he picked a pearl up to see it turn black when he held it in between his fingers.
,, did you find them in all the elves rooms ?"

The king was silent
, I cant take any chances"

,, did you find them? " jongin continued to question as he placed them back into the bag, sneakily hiding one in his jacket as his uncle looked down.

,, lady solin did.. she said the elf girl attacked her so she was afraid to say anything, her mother brought me the Pearl's in the end, feeling guilty for the attack."
The prince exhaled shocked.
He already figured it was kyungsoos friend she was the only younger female elf in the castle.

He didnt know who to believe... kyungsoo trusted her, he cared for her.. and jongin hadnt trusted sungyuri.. but solin would she lie ? Was it a misunderstanding.
,, it's still not enough to justify killing so many people "
