"So what're we going to now that they're all dead? A little lunch, huh?" Baek Sil chuckled jokingly with his elbows rested on his hammer, looking at their leader attentively.

"Great idea, 'cause I'm starving as hell." Heung Mol squealed, rubbing his belly softly. "Where do we eat? Say, we raid a restaurant and tell the chefs to cook for us?" he snorted.

"We have our own 'restaurant' in the Main Lair, though." Goo Ong turned to look at his brother-in-law.

"I mean, we should try out some new foods too, right? Stick to chicken your whole life and you'll be dying to die, trust me." Heung Mol chuckled and stretched his arms. "Still, the choice is up to our mighty leader right here." he pointed towards Mi Na standing in front of them. "What do you say, Mae?" the Black Serpent hummed curiously. Mi Na eyed her Black Knights, and looked up at the sky with her back turned for a while. She then sighed softly and turned to face Ji Won.

"Take this." Mi Na cooed and threw the king's head to her younger sister who immediately caught it perfectly with her right hand. "Lunch is a great idea, of course. You go first, find a nice suitable restaurant, quite lonely so we won't be greeted with more spears and swords even if we can actually dispose of them. Find a place where we're not.......feared.." she hummed.

"Well, I know a place." Jeong Yeon butted in, earning the Black Knights' attention. "My father has a close contact with someone.......mysterious."

"Mysterious?" Ji Won looked at her lover with a tilted face.

"Yeah. If I'm not wrong her name is Nari, Lady Nari. She's a High Demon, one of my father's closest friends since thousands of years ago." Jeong Yeon explained calmly. "Lady Nari owns an antique-like workshop that has all kinds of things you want, and....she happens to own a nice restaurant as well. I can take you there." she shrugged a little.

"Say no more." Heung Mol laughed in excitement and wiggled his body around for a little exercise. "I'm totally in for some demonic food." he rubbed his palms.

"Alright then, take care." Mi Na said and turned to her back.

"Where are you going, unnie?" Ji Won held her sister's shoulder. The older lady looked at her and held her hand back softly.

"Nowhere, I just want to have some fresh air." she chuckled. Ji Won hesitantly nodded and let go of her sister's hand before she proceeded to walk to Jeong Yeon, the two of them immediately having their hands intertwined warmly, which earned a little proud chuckle from Mi Na who noticed their cute little love. "I'll catch up to you soon, don't worry."

"Do you know where the place is?" Jeong Yeon furrowed her eyebrows.

"Well, not exactly." Mi Na chuckled apologetically while rubbing her nape. Jeong Yeon sighed a little in disbelief and walked to Mi Na, handing her something. "W-what's this?" she asked curiously, looking at the object Jeong Yeon gave her.

"It's a map, obviously." the older lady huffed. "Good thing I brought the map to the places I've been to. The little magical arrow here shows where you are right now, which is in this kingdom. It'll make it easier for you to look for us." Jeong Yeon spoke. Mi Na nodded in understanding and kept the map in her pocket, smiling thankfully at Jeong Yeon.

"We'll be going then now, unnie. Take care." Ji Won stated.

"I will. You too." the Scarlet Hawk chuckled. The Black Knights then got on their horses and left the place together, following Jeong Yeon who was leading the way in her falcon form, flying alongside her lover Ji Won in her eagle form. It was only Mi Na alone now, and she sighed softly while letting the wind blow her hair. "Well, maybe I should find a much cozier place." she breathed out and turned into her hawk form, flying away from the kingdom which was now nothing but ruins and crushed buildings.
