"Listen to me!" The prince shouted as he held on to the girl's wrist.
"You are the delicate rose, and I am the thorn. I promise you, I will destroy the one who tries to lay a single finger on you."
"What if- What if that person is you?"

Chattering and joy could be easily seen in the locals of Aekasa. They were drinking, enjoying and children playing gleefully. It was not at all usual for her, everyone was dressed in pretty sleek apparel and to mention there were no smartphones or networks but still, she was in awe. It was her first time stepping out of the palace anyway.
"Aera...Wait.Let's go back!"
She glimpsed back. Her maidservant, Areum stood there, huffing.
"I did not tell you to come with me. You can go back to the palace." Aera said simply, turning back yet once again.
"But, I am supposed to be with you all the time."
"Not all the time."
"Alright then."
Areum just kept her step back to go but she looked behind and Aera was gone, she was not in her sight anymore.
"This woman will get me fired!" She cursed.
. . .
She ran through the crowd whilst giggling. The pathway performances and the songs got her speechless. What a beautiful place, she thought.
She observed the place with a wide grin until her eyes met with Hwan's figure.
Hwan was with a man and to her surprise... he wasn't Taehyung.
...
She gasped when Hwan's eyes fell on her. Aera mouthed a 'sorry' and ran through the crowd.
