Everyone made it back to the church before sunset. They gathered at the center and started sharing what they've seen.
Kai anlyzed their stories and came up with a single similarity.
The rich is living together free from starvation and slavement. While the poor are placed in a certain place almost forgotten by their own kingdom. And it aas because of the rule that no poor should be link to the rich.
Kai felt that the rule was so cruel. So childish. Why did he even came up with a rule like that? Why is he even trying to separate the poor and the rich when they can just help each other.
Kai began asking them about the rules he made.
The others shared what they know such as; no poor can be linked to a rich. Whoever's spoke ill of the royal family is treason. A thief's head costs two bags of golds. Whoever betrays their own kingdom will be boiled to death. Those who made mistakes towards the prince will be beheaded. And so on.
Kai facepalmed his head with frustration thinking of how he will fix all of those rules. The Prince was sure reasonable to put those rules but the punishments were as cruel.
"Kai! Don't worry! It's only our first day! We can still watch tomorrow! It's not like you'll be able to fix everything after seeing them once! We can watch them for a week or two atleast! Then you can think of a plan to fix everything!" Yuna suggested patting his back.
Kai slowly nodded his head. Right now he feels the same thing he feels whenever he loses a game over a kid. He felt defeated.
"Take a rest! We'll take the night watch!" Beomgyu said eyeing Taehyun.
"There's plenty of rooms here! Clean them yourself!" Lia said and left first finding her own room.
The girls followed her except Ryujin.
"I'll go to the bell tower!" Yeonjun said amd grabbed his bow and arrow. "We'll go with you!" Kai said and grabbed Soobin following Yeonjun who was already laughing at the sight of the prince pulling his general.
As soon as the three got to the top of the tower. Kai felt his knees wobbly. He's now having second thoughts of staying there. But then he figured he was already there. Yeonjun and Soobin might tease him as coward if he suddenly goes back.
Yeonjun sat on the grills as Soobin did the same. Kai stayed near the stairs and sat there instead.
He watched the view of the kingdom and suddenly noticed a blue bird flying. What's strange with it was it wasn't flying to anywhere. As if it was purposely trying to get his attention.
He stood up stepping forward completely forgetting he's in a bell tower.
Kai couldn't remove his eyes on the bird. He seemed hypnotized by it."But seriously! Why is your hair colored pink!?" Kai snapped out of his trance when Soobin suddenly laughed.
He was talking with Yeonjun that they didn't noticed Kai who was about to jump off the tower. Kai immediately stepped back and looked for the bird but he couldn't find it anymore.
He returned to his seat and listened to the two talking.
"My hair is originally black! But Ryujin and Chaeryeong had so much fun with their experiments! At first it got brown, then grey, blue, yellow and now pink!" Yeonjun chuckled while playing with his hair.
"What about you? How did you get a blue hair?" Yeonjun asked. "I dyed it! A fellow soldier helped me turn it blue!" He replied.
"I wish I could dye my hair too! But Lea and Bahhiyih are so always against it!" Kai sulked and pouted.
