The next day Hwanwoong and Youngjo are training. Dongmin said Hwanwoong need to fight because he can't protect himself, so Youngjo is going to teach him. Geonhak is the warrior here, but Dongmin promised to give the two time to find out there feelings. Hwanwoong falls down, Youngjo smiles softly.

'Why am I doing this, I can't fight. I know that already.'

'Still.'

Youngjo kneeled down by Hwanwoong.

'You need to learn how to protect yourself.'

'As if I will get in problems! Why would anyone want me? I am just a to kind hearted prince.'

Youngjo sigh and stands up.

'That is the problem, in this world. The most kind one, is in more danger.'

Hwanwoong sighs and stands up, he takes the sword and stand before Youngjo. After losing again, Hwanwoong is frustrated and doesn't want to continue.

'Okay, let me try to convince you to go on ok?'

'Okay.'

'What if your friend, father, mother, siblings and you are in danger. If you can't fight, you can't protect them from harm. As you can fight, you can! You can save people, the ones you love.'

Hwanwoong thinks, he never thought it like that. He always thought as if it was bad and something no one must can. He nods a bit but he feels suddenly sadness coming up.

'Y-youngjo.'

The older looks at the smaller who is now tearing up. Youngjo sits next him and hugs the younger.

'What is it?'

'I don't know, I feel sad, please help.'

Youngjo looks around, he get the feeling a witch is near, he picks Hwanwoong up and walks back. Hwanwoong being scared and sad.

'It will be fine, trust me,' Youngjo said.

(for your information, if the princes get sad or angry they can lose the kindness because of the witches take them over)

He knows he must give Hwanwoong to the witch, but he can't. He has the feeling Hwanwoong is to special to him. When they almost are home, a witch comes out the bush and stand before them.

'Give him!' she sis.

'No!'

'Stupid prince. You promised.'

'Leave me alone.'

Youngjo starts running the other way, they got out of the forest. Youngjo lays Hwanwoong down, who sits up.

'You made a promise with them?' Hwanwoong asks quitly.

'I am sorry, they told me you were bad for the world. They lied to me, but I don't know what to do now.'

'We need to get Bin.'

'He is captured, it was him or my father, my father choose himself.'

'Listen to me, we need to get him back.'

'Alone? We will never survive.'

'You are from time castle, you can set the time stop.'

'Not for long, and I will faint after, what if it goes wrong and they capture you? I – I can't risk that.'

Hwanwoong looks at Youngjo and stands up.

'We turn back time then, I can use my power too.'

'But-'
