When Siyeon walked back to her dormitory, she had many thoughts inside her head. She remembered Bora's sweet smile as a child all those years back, and how she still had that smile. When Bora confessed to her, Siyeon felt her heart speed up. She never knew that Bora felt the same as her. They both loved each other warmly.
However, Siyeon had a lot of uncertainty in her mind. How would they have children? Bora is the Queen! They must have an heir to the throne! Adoption and sperm donors would be frowned upon, since there would be no 'bloodline'. The other knights would also not like her if she married Bora, since she would get more privileges.
Siyeon couldn't focus on those things yet. She still had to train more knights for the war. She also needed to get in better shape for fighting. In just two days, she would be sent to the old Neverland Castle to fight against Yuqi's forces. Siyeon sighed as she opened her dorm's door. Yoohyeon was fast asleep, and Siyeon climbed into her bed and tried to get some sleep.
=====
Minji was having trouble sleeping that night. All she could think of was Yoohyeon going to war in two days... She worried about losing her funny and tall friend. If Yoohyeon died, she would be incredibly lonely. Yes, she had Bora, but Bora didn't have Yoohyeon's lame jokes. Bora didn't have Yoohyeon's clumsiness.
A tear ran down Minji's eye in worry. In two days, that would be the worst Tuesday in her life. She sighed as she closed her eyes, trying to get some much-needed sleep.

The next day, 6 PM
Handong and some of her workers were setting up the room for Yubin. Gahyeon had just finished sending letters to Handong's other friends, such as Lady Chong Ting Yan, who was also a wealthy landowner. Gahyeon arrived home and saw Handong preparing for the meetup.
"Dongie! What is this for?" the curious girl asked. "Is someone coming over tonight?"
"Yes, Gahyeonie! Yubin's coming over!" Handong replied.
"Yubin?!?" Gahyeon's mouth made an "O" shape. Handong burst into laughter seeing how flustered the girl was. She had never been this shocked before. Gahyeon must really like Yubin a lot. My, oh my, something's brewing! Handong thought.
"Yup! So, do be ready for your payment!" Handong replied to Gahyeon.
Gahyeon's heart was pounding. The Grand Master did come to Handong's manor often, but it was usually when Gahyeon was away doing errands. Besides, Yubin would only show up for a short while (for about ten minutes), only to give updates about castle gossip. Handong and Yubin also had their short chats in a private room, too, where no one was to disturb them, not even Gahyeon, in case there was some information that wasn't supposed to get out.
The room that Gahyeon would use was similar to Handong and Yubin's- it was small but cozy, had two rocking chairs, a fireplace, a table, a rug, and a bookshelf. Refreshments were often placed on the table in case the visitor needed a little more energy.
Gahyeon ran to her room and tried to find a good outfit. She didn't want Yubin to see her in that plain, white, and slightly-stained blouse. She wanted to look as pretty as possible, like when she attended Bora's banquet. However, before she could even open her closet, Handong called her, announcing that Yubin was here. Gahyeon gulped. How would Yubin react to seeing her in that dingy outfit? She nervously walked out of her bedroom and into the cozy meeting room.
Yubin was already comfortable, even putting her legs up onto the table. In Handong's house, she could be informal, since they were close friends. "I'll leave you two alone," Handong said, then walked out of the room, closing the door with a smirk on her face.
