Felix is organizing the guards he feels mad at himself that the prince could get away. He even asked every guard if they saw something and the all said they didn't that is really weird because he couldn't get away without someone noticing right?

'Sir?'

Felix looks up to one of the soldiers.

'We are informed about soldiers coming our way, they are with many.'

Felix nods and looks at the map to know where they are.

'We heard they don't attack people but they are straight heading to the castle and just walk around if someone stops them for the easy route.'

'Can we send someone to check it out?'

'The other base did, they lost them in the night. They disappeared around that time.'

Felix nods he knows about it a bit, probably they end up behind the followers to confuse them and get around them after. Even Felix used it but it was dangerous work. If they found out your plan won't work again.

'I am going to check It out.'

'Let me come.'

They look around and see Geonhak, the knights bow their heads and Felix shakes his head.

'I can't risk that prince, it is dangerous. We don't know if they mayby after one of you.'

'I can confuse them. I can make it light.'

'If you come along I need prince Hwanwoong too and no way the king and queen will let him come or the prince of Time.'

Geonhak sighs.

'Get my horse ready.'

Felix left soon after to find the knights.

Around midnight he stops and goes to rest, he hears someone walk close. He takes his sword and looks behind him.

'Show yourself!' he calls in his dark voice.

A figure came out of the bush and Felix let his sword fall. Before him stands the prince of White Night. Felix sighs a bit angry.

'I said you wasn't allowed to come!'

'I never said I aggreed on that.'

'Your highness-'

'I am not the prince now, I am just your soldier who helps you in this mission.'

Felix doesn't like it and Geonhak can tell.

'What do you want to do anyways, it is too dark and dangerous to go back for me now.'

Felix makes a angry sound and Geonhak looks at the other who just sits down.

'Did you take a horse with you?'

'Yes.'

'Put him here.'

Geonhak smiles, he won. He takes his black horse to the campfire and put him next to the knights.

'You took a black one, smart.'

'I wanted to take a white but Keonhee stoped me to do that.'

'Why didn't he stop you at all?'

Geonhak just felt silent and sit at the other side of the campfire.

'I guess he knew he couldn't stop me.'

Felix sighs, he remembers the stories about White Night prince being a strong, dangerous and mean prince. But he only sees a stubborn man before him. They are silent for some time. Both not wanting to talk. Felix decide to end the silence.

'Do you like Song?'

The other boy got a bit startled by the sudden voice but smiles after.

'Yes, it is beautiful and full of magic.'

Felix nods with a smile.

'You are the prince from White Night right?'

'Yes.'

'How is it there?'

'Well, it is always winter there, and mostly of the time dark. We make it light when we need it like in a war. Most of our people can see in the dark way better than in light.'

'Wow, that sounds cool... Wait...'

'Something wrong?'

'I suddenly notice something. If everyone can see in the dark at your land, can these people who are coming at us be soldiers from your land?'

Geonhak thinks about it a bit then they feel a breeze. Geonhak stands up at that.

'They sure are,' Geonhak mumbles.

'What is it?'

'Frostlight. The winter horse. She is mine but they gave her away,' the prince looks mad at the way of the cold.

'They are close, to close,' Felix says a bit scared.

'I don't know why they are here, I can communicate to them with the breeze, give me a sec.'

Geonhak close his eyes and Felix kept silent, after some time Geonhak opens his eyes.

'Coming to get me back.'

'They didn't say before?'

'They know very well I am strong with my sword. Unless....'

'What?'

'Dongju...'

The two take their horses and ride as fast as possible back to the castle.
