On the battlefield

The dowager queen's father captured Namjun and Hoseong with treachery! He knew that he doesn't stand a chance against Namjun's forces. Since the leaders of the forces are usually in the front, so he hid a net on the ground. As soon as Namjun's and Hoseong's horses set their feet on the net, they were captured in the net!

"EVERYONE, PUT DOWN ALL YOUR WEAPONS ELSE I'LL BEHEAD THE TWO GREAT KINGS RIGHT HERE!" A young man ordered and all the soldiers put down their weapons.

"CHUNG BYEONGHO, BE A MAN AND FIGHT ME. WHAT IS THIS?" Namjun growled, still captured in the net.

"Calm down, your majesty!" Byeongho smirked.

"WHO ON EARTH ARE YOU EVEN?" Hoseong yelled.

"Me? Hahahaha...I'm Chung Byeongho, the great advisor of his grandfather!" Byeongho said pointing at Namjun.

...................................................

"Nui, take care and I'm sure that Namjun hyungnim will return soon. So don't worry, ok?" Jeongguk said.

"Yes, I'm sure he will return safely. And you Jeongguk, be safe. Seyeon, take care of my brother." Inhyeon said holding Jeongguk's hands as Seyeon nodded.

"Ahyoon, this is it. I don't know when we'll meet again but stay safe and write me letters!" Seongjin kissed her forehead.

"Yes! I'll pray for both you and my orabeoni to return safely!" Ahyoon smiled and Seongjin nodded.

"Taeheong-ah, make sure to eat well and take care of yourself, ok? I'll miss you, my best friend!" Inhyeon smiled at Taeheong

Taeheong nodded, "You take care of yourself too!"

"Seyeon..." Ahyoon hugged Seyeon. "You're looking so pretty!"

"Thank you, princess Ahyoon!" Seyeon patted her back. "If anyone creates a problem in my absence, then don't hesitate to punch their face, ok?"

"Hahaha...ok!" Ahyoon giggled.

"The horses and the palanquins are ready!" Yunki informed.

Jeemin and Seyeon went inside the two palanquins and the others climbed up on their respective horses. After saying their final goodbyes, they all left.

Inhyeon came and stood next to Ahyoon, who was dabbing her handkerchief on the corners of her eyes. Inhyeon patted on her back and said, "It's just the two of us now!"

"Yes..." Ahyoon let out a long sigh.

"I hope both the kings return soon......"

...................................

Byeongho captured all of Namjun's unarmed forces and tied Namjun and Hoseong up with heavy chains.

"Namjun, for the last time I'm telling you to release your mother. I'll take her with me. I understand that she did wrong but you can't just kill your mother!"

"Grandfather, I told you before as well that she has escaped-"

"IMPOSSIBLE! EVEN IF SHE DID, WHERE WILL SHE GO? SHE'LL COME TO ME!"

"This is weird. We thought that too. We thought she went to you and you're here to take revenge on us!" Hoseong tried to explain.

"STOP TRYING TO PERSUADE ME. BYEONGHO, ATTACK THE ROYAL PALACE AND BRING MY DAUGHTER TO ME!"

"Yes, your majesty!"

"BYEONGHO...GRANDFATHER! IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THE QUEEN OR ANY OF THE ROYAL LADIES, I WILL NOT HESITATE TO BEHEAD YOU BOTH!!!!!" Namjun yelled.

"Stop yelling, Namjun! Else I can behead you right now!" The old man warned and left the dark cave with Seongho.

"AISHHHH..." Namjun tried to break through the heavy chains.

"These filthy cowards. I swear to God, once I break through this, I'll teach them a lesson!" Hoseong growled.

..............................................

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH...."

"OH MY GOD...RUNNNNN"

"EVERYONE RUNNNNN...."

"Aishh...you all...I SAID I'M NOT FEELING WELL WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU ALL SHOUTING?!" Inhyeon slammed her door open and yelled at the maids and servants.

"Y-YOUR MAJESTY, THE PALACE HAS BEEN ATTACKED!"

"OH, GOD! WHO THE HELL DARED TO ATTACK THE PALACE WHEN I AM TRYING TO TAKE SOME REST??!!!" Inhyeon stormed towards the royal kitchen.

Meanwhile,

"So many pretty ladies!" Byeongho smirked at the ladies who were trying to escape. He randomly grabbed a lady's hand.

"Leave me....."

"How can I leave a pretty lady like you? Let me make you mine!" He cupped her face.

Suddenly he felt a shallow cut on his back. He felt blood coming out from his back. He released the lady and turned around to see Ahyoon with a dagger.

"Ahhh..." He tilted his head and smirked at her.

"Go away!" She said pointing the dagger at him.

"Beauty with fighting skills. A dangerous combination!" He stepped closer to her.

"I SAID GET LOST!" Ahyoon was about to stab him but he grabbed her wrist tightly.

"Arghh...." The dagger fell from her hand.

"How about you marry me? I'll make you the happie-"

Ahyoon punched him with her other hand and said, "I have A HUSBAND, YOU IDIOT. AND MY HUSBAND IS THE WORLDWIDE HANDSOME PRINCE...AND DID YOU LOOK AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR?!" Ahyoon glared at him.

"YOU LITTLE. I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT I HAVE...." He growled at her, holding his nose.

Ahyoon gasped and started to run.

"Come here, little princess!" Byeongho grabbed her hanbok and pulled her closer to him.

"YOU MONSTER, LEAVE ME-"

"Not before the worldwide handsome prince of yours declines to accept you as his pretty little wife." He smirked. "Don't worry! After he throws you away, come to me and beg-'"

"AHHHH-" Byeongho suddenly fell to the ground, holding his head. The back of his head was bleeding

"YAAA YOU FILTHY MONSTER!" Inhyeon yelled from behind Byeongho. She just threw a pot and it crashed on Byeongho's head.

Everyone present there gasped.

"HOW DARE YOU CREATE A MESS HERE? YOU WILL CLEAN THESE ALL UP WITHIN THE NEXT FEW SECONDS-"

"ARE YOU ALL EVEN WOMEN? Ughhh..." He said holding his head in pain.

"I AM THE QUEEN OF GOGURYEO. SINCE THE KING ISN'T HERE, SO MY ORDER IS THE FINAL ORDER. You better be cleaning this mess up else there are more useless pots in the royal kitchen!"

"I-I-...I'M SORRY, QUEEN INHYEON!" Byeongho grabbed her legs. "PLEASE FORGIVE ME. I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU SAY."

"Good! You-....ahh~~" Suddenly the world around Inhyeon started spinning. As she was about to fall when Ahyoon grabbed her.

"Your majesty? YOUR MAJESTY???" Ahyoon patted her cheeks but she lost her sense.

"Oh my God! CALL THE ROYAL PHYSICIAN AND TAKE HER IN" Ahyoon ordered and maids bowed and took Inhyeon in.

Ahyoon turned towards Byeongho and stared daggers at him. "If you did something to the queen when you grabbed her legs..." Ahyoon paused and took off her hairpin. "This hairpin will be inside your neck."
