Myrah pov:

I leaped onto the horse, feeling bolstered and re-energized more than ever. I am coming back, Jimin.

I rode along with Jungkook in quietude and would assess myself as relentlessly fatuous If I had wished to have some sort of chatter with Jungkook.

But this time, I pledged myself to end things smoothly.

Jungkook's horse quelled near the capital gates. We have been traveling for two days, halting for an hour to rest. Jungkook seemed ready to retire me from his life, and I will let him do it.

His family would never meet any harm, Tae has sworn to me and it is the least I can do for his love.

Jungkook hopped off the ground and showed a small scroll to the sentries who stood at the capital gateway. My face was obscured under a cloth while Jungkook lied to them that I had been uttered profanities by the sun with my burnt skin.

Such a liar! It's been months since I have looked at myself in the mirror, is it that sour? I looked at my reflection in the little waterhole.

I turned to him who shook his head and said, "You can leave."

Taking a step front, I embraced him, patting his back lightly. I muttered something I always wanted to tell him.

"Thank you."

He didn't reply, he didn't need to as his wet eyes said it all when he left in the immediate second.

It has been pouring all this week, the wet soil dragged my feet beneath as I took each step, trying to prevent me from penetrating the capital again.

The wind blew fiercely as a cue to remind me of the perils I might face, I knew that I have started it and I will end it.

Ambling small steps, I meandered for an hour around the huge market of the capital. Trade is tangible for the monetary growth of a country. The fewer imports and more exports show value and power to the kingdom.

The authority of its power is vast. Hence, the markets are huge and laid out on the frontier of the fort capital, followed by lodging and the chateau.

I stopped in my trail as I felt someone stalking around me. I brushed my hands over the vessels kept for sale, walking further before I was drawn into a corner.

Pursued by a tight grip on my shroud, pushing it down, my hands moved quickly to grab my attacker's hood as well, but the attacker didn't react. Instead, let me pull it down.

It was Ri-ma. Subtly surprised, I hugged her figure.

"You look nutritious, Your Highness," she commented as I nodded.

"You look richly happy," I remarked.

"Does Hoseok know?" I asked her cautiously as I pulled my veil back, whilst a few people went past us.

"He doesn't. He doesn't need to. Before it all can be conceded, I would be in no need to exemplify or apologize as if nothing has happened, and then resume our lives."

"Good. Lead me then," I asked as she proceeded into the crowd with me coming after her back. We passed over the last trade road and walked to a medium little house on the corner of the street.

Ri-ma opened the doors and moved in. The house greeted me with its wide white hall, with Hoba seated on a chair handling something.

"Hobi. I am back!" she jovially called and placed the basket of fruits on the table.

"This is my sister from Qin, about whom I have talked to you constantly. Will you do me a favor by letting her stay with us?" She prayed as she took the basket and entered another room. I heard water trickling as I looked at Hoba and bowed.

"Of course, anything my lady would wish for will be granted by me," Hoba agreed and took whatever he had in his hand and left the house before bidding farewell to Ri-ma.

Slicing the fruits, Ri-ma placed them on the table and brought them to me.

"So... what did you do?" I asked, referring to the shifts in her lifestyle.

"Love. Even when you told me not to, I fell in love with Hoseok. Even when you terrorized me not to, I did. But when it came to such a desperate scenario, I didn't want to lose either of you.

"You are my universe, Myrah. I was born to serve you, but as time flew, allegedly I got hooked under his kind conduct, digging a pit for myself.

"His love was pristine, and his kindness can't be dirtied and he easily allured me into his arms.

"I hate that I fibbed to him, I lied to him that I am oblivious to all your doings and that I felt sold out by you.

"It was all bare lies and yes, after lots of screening and investigation, Namjoon entitled me to stay in the palace as a housekeeper, ascertaining me innocent, since there was no proof of my direct associations with your actions.

"And only then Hoseok looked up at me. He is allotted an important place in the palace and our meetings and ventures that coincided grew our love stronger and better. And worry not. I have kept my side of promise to help you. I will never backstab you, Myrah.

"Once your goal is concluded successfully, you are no one, and this incident of me supporting you into the palace never occurred.

"Tomorrow, His Revered Highness Park Jimin is leaving for the perimeter to settle some confrontations. Ji-Wook has been assigned as in charge of the palace."

"Great. Let's execute our plan tomorrow night."

"Affirmative. Hoseok is also accompanying His Royal Highness. And... Myrah, there is something you should be aware of."

"What is that?"

"Min Seong is not dead."

"Min Seong blacked out due to a snake bite. Though she is living now, the venom has severely affected her body and is exploiting it. She is dying every day and is bedridden. She can perish anytime," Ri-ma added.

"Let her be for now. Ji-Wook should be our main priority."

Guess there could be nothing to stop me from reaching my destiny.
