“What?! I can’t leave here, I was…”
“I don’t care, I want you to leave.” Castiel said, trying to push her to leave there but she was proving to be stubborn.
Castiel saw the Enouch approaching from afar, he was forced to let her be.
Naomi hurriedly went back to the gathering. She stood closer to her partner, before she could do something to avoid getting suspected, the Enouch appears.
But luckily he doesn’t noticed there was no chain attached to her body.
Castiel bowed so as the coordinators also did.
“Some of you’ll be selected to guide the entering gate to our kingdom. Being our enemy warriors, the selected ones will be tested and the unselected ones will be used for labour.
So,you all are to swear an oath; anyone who betrayas shall be given a deadly punishment.
Let’s it begin!” The Enouch said and the buyeo’s warriors was directed into a dark, which seems to be a place of no return to some of them.

★Buyeo’s kingdom>>The king’s chamber★
“My king, I found something in the river today! Guess what?” The Queen said, happily grasping his hand warmly.
“I’m not good at guessing and you know that. Also, I’m currently in the middle of something because you asked for me. I couldn’t decline your request.
So, what’s it you have found?” The king said in a happy tone.
“A baby!” The queen blurted.
“A baby? As how?” The king asked perplexedly, raising a brow.
“Yes,a baby. My maid saw it in a river and I picked him up.”
“Him?”
“Yes, it’s a boy!” The queen smiled.
The king who was still lost in confusion, only stared at his wife without saying a word.
“Aren’t you going to say anything? Is this not..”
“Yes, it’s my dear..” The king said, cutting her off.
“Why’re you sad?” The queen asked,in her midst of confusion over her husband sudden sadness.
“I should be happy, but dear, how’re we going to declare it to others?” The king asked.
“I already got you covered; I planned on telling you this. We’ll tell your brothers when they say they haven’t noticed any changes in me, we’ll say I stayed indoor althrough the pregnancy stage because we were told not to divulge it to others until I put to bed.
So,we have to keep it a secret.” The queen said and the king eyes widened in awe.
“Who’s it? My king.”
“I buy your idea,’ll make sure this’s a secret between the both of us. We’ll take care of him as our biological son.” The king said.
“But my maids knows about it.” The queen declared.
“Then,we have to eliminate her.” The king said, with a fully made up mind.
“Do we really have to do… I meant; she’s like a daughter to me. Can’t we send her away…or..”
“This’s the only solution to this kind of situation.. I know you cherish her, but if we sent her away from our custody, she might start to spread the news if she finds out the reason we sent her away was because of our secret she knew.”
★★★
In a dark place, some warriors are seen half naked. Some people put a burning knife on their shoulders which left a mark in their backs after a numerous cries as escaped from them.
After placing a mark on them, they were told to fight each other in the darkness. Even if it’ll cost them their lives in order to be victorious. They were of two persons each, some mistake their partner to another partner which lowered their scores.
Naomi pulled her partner to herself as she tried kill her. Naomi strangled her on the neck, she struggles for freedom but she gives him no way.
After some minutes, he died and she pushed him away.
“Stop!!” A voice came and they all stopped.
And suddenly, the whole place became bright. They looked around in fear, wondering how that was being done.
“The survivals are the selected ones, the rest will be killed.” A voice said, because they never saw the faces of those people. They’re all wearing masks. The injured ones was killed right in front of the others.
Naomi barely vomited watching all those horrible scenes. No wonder, they all put on masks.
“It must have been because of this.” She concluded.
★★★
★ Arthur’s suite>> outside★
Arthur saw Titania and Sapphire practicing their martial arts skills. He knew they don’t know much about martial arts, so he smiled while he stood.
“Arthur!” Sapphire called happily when she noticed his presence.
“Yes.” That’s what all he could say.
“How’s our fighting skills?”‘ Titania asked, facing him while grasping her sword trying to cut off the solider’s head before her; it’s made of wood used in practicing one skills.
“That isn’t how to attack a solider…” He said and they both frowned.
★★★
★Buyeo’s kingdom>> Palace★
A lot of people came to visit the king. For the past 19 years since she got married to his wife, they haven’t had a child for once.
Some people concluded probably the king’s impotent.
But the queen they thought she can never experience motherhood, orto bed.
Some were happy while average of those whom has spoken ill about them behind their backs, it up their words and jubilate with them.
“So, how did you wife put to bed without anyone knowing she’s pregnant?” The king’s senior brother asked who was to take over after his death since he failed to produce an heir.
But now, he knew they were obstacles coming his way.
“We found out she was pregnant and we were told not to inform anyone due to the consequences. So she was indoor althrough the pregnancy stage.
We announced it now that we’re finally sure we have an heir.” The king said, his brothers still doesn’t believe it. They believed it was all a ÇOçk and bull story.
But they has to keep watching till the truth is being divulge.
The elder brother seems to know the secret behind the king’s birth,so he planned to divulge it in public at the right time. That’s why he’s acting mute all these while,, the secret he knew can make him be impeached from the emperor’s position.
★★★
The selected buyeo’s warriors are seen dressed in the joeseon’s uniform. Their Armors were different,so as other things.
The cloth happens to fits Naomi so well as her beauty brightened the more.
“You!” The coordinator called on Naomi pointing at her.
“The princess wants her bodyguard to be replaced,so you’ll be in charge of protecting the princess.” He said.
“Yes, sir..” Naomi said, respectfully.
“Go the princess right away, If you weren’t able to locate her, you’ll be punished.” The coordinator said, sternly.
Naomi made way to the princess place, she wondered why they didn’t escorted her there instead.
Naomi got lost at a point; the buildings confused her.
Actually, she checked on the names of the owner of each buildings as she passed by but she couldn’t find the princess actual suite.
Naomi bumped into Castiel and she quickly lowered her head.
“Greetings My Lord..” She greeted, still on the bowing position.
“Greetings,are you by anyway looking for direction to your destination?” Castiel asked, with a friendly smile.
“No… not.. at all.., Sir.” Naomi stammered.
“Your voice said otherwise. So,by the way, where’re you heading to?” He asked friendly.
“To the.. princess… suite..” Naomi stammered feeling uncomfortable with his presence.
“Actually, the two princesses stayed in the same building. So let’s go.” Castiel said and she quickly follows him.
★★★
“May please know your name?” Castiel suddenly asked as they walked to the building.
“I.. dare not..”
“I just wanna know your name,rest assured.” Castiel said, calmly.
“I’m Annie.” She replied, feeling shy to talk with a guy.
“I’m Castiel by the way, nice to meet you.” Castiel said, facing her but he realized she badly want this conversation to end as soon as possible.
“Annie?” He called when he noticed she was shievering.
“Why’re you.. what’s happening to you?” He asked, with worry trying to feel her forehead but she prevent him from touching it.
“I’m fine, My Lord.” She lied.
“You got a beautiful name.” She commented.
“Thanks, let’s continue..”
★★★
They arrived at Arthur’s suite after some minutes later, Castiel headed back.
“Your Highness, I’m your new..”
“I know slave, I wanna go somewhere now!” Titania sad, rudely cutting her off.
She stood up to leave and Naomi stayed behind her.

ONAMI’S PLACE
Onami searched to and fro for a book she saw in her dream which her mother happens to have the book. The book contains her mother’s secrets and she saw it in her dream that the book can enlighten them on how to get all answers to what’s happening to them; the reasons behind their mother death, their father and other hidden secrets.
After searching all through the suite, she found a book and she brings it out to study.
She began opening it and saw something:
“I’m sorry my dear Onami. I haven’t been a good mother to you and your sister. I..”
Onami noticed many of the things written in the book as being torn.
“Who could have done this?” She muttered to herself.
