"Right! Lady Lili.. do you know any rich people who reside in this town?" Soo-won asked, with that familiar tone of his.. it gave you nostalgia. "We'll need to lend there ships for a moment, can you do it?" He asked once again, the cheerful ness evident in his tone.

"What's he happy about?" You grumbled under your breath. Yona softly chuckling from beside you. "I'd also like to ask the fishermen of this town." He announced, a ditzy smile on his face. "I got it, I'll go negotiate with the fishermen." Jae-ha said, gaining slight admiration for your brother.

"Let's go." Yoon said, looking at the two of you. He had assumed that you're team and Lili's team would split here. However Yona wasn't having it. "I'll stay with Lili." Yona announced, the coldness returning to her voice, everyone looked at her in surprise.

"I'll be staying with Yona and Lili." You said, knowing that leaving Yona alone with Soo-won wouldn't end in a good way. "Yoon and the others should go negotiate with the fisherman." Yona added, smiling at the said guys and not bothering to change your mind.. in fact she felt slightly relieved that you didn't leave her.

"Thennnn.. I shall stay with the princess and lady." Kija spoke, you smiled at his sweetness. "Kija, they might need your strength. You should go with them!" You told him, assuring him that you and Yona would probably be alright. "The misses will also have Zeno with them!" Zeno added, hugging Yona.

His smile was enough to bright up the entire place. "Yeah! Zeno will protect them with his life!" He said once more, reassuring poor worried Kija. "But.." Kija mumbled still a bit hesitant. You swung your arm around Zeno's shoulders. "Don't worry Kija! When Zeno says he'll protect us, he'll protect us!" You told the worried man, offering him a smile.

With that said, the three men.. Jae-ha, Yoon and Kija quickly left, leaving you, Yona and Zeno alone with Lili, Soo-won and his men. "We should go to. We have tons of rich men we need to visit." Lili announced.. beginning to lead the way.

Lili paused in-front of a large mansion.. adorned with gold and big jewels and large diamonds. She entered the mansion with confidence.. such bright confidence. "This is.. the millionaires house?" Soo-won questioned.. the mansion looking a bit too odd to be a house.

Meanwhile, You, Yona and Zeno just quietly followed, standing between Lili and your brother. "It's not a millionaires house." She bluntly stated, startling Soo-won. "Eh? If it's not then.. why? Wait- Lady Lili..?" He asked, his tone dripped with confusion, however Lili kept walking, and you three continued following her.

"I had a different plan originally.. however after doing some research.. I've found out that.." She paused once again in-front of two large gold doors, before she could finish her sentance, she slammed the doors open.

"I've found out that today is the towns trading associations meeting!" Lili yelled, as the members of the said meeting all whipped their heads at her. You sighed slightly, hiding behind Zeno and Yona.. you felt just a bit embarrassed. "I miss Hak.." You grumbled, to yourself, already exhausted from todays events.

There were only men at the meeting, they all sat in a circle on the floor. They quickly began mumbling and asking about why it was so noisy and how this place wasn't for "little" kids. However Lili didn't waver.. it was a side to her.. you hadn't seen before.

"My apologies for disturbing your meeting." Lili started off, standing brave and tall. "I'll get to the point, since I'm in a hurry.. right now.. at the coast of Sensui.. there.. is a large fleet of boats approaching.. from Southern Kai." She paused, letting the new information sink in.

As expected, all the men seemed surprised. "To stop them, we are currently gathering ships. You have merchant ships, right? Please let us borrow them!" She ended her speech.. however the response from the men was much different to what she had expected.

"Are you idiots? Which household are you from, little girl?" They asked, as Lili gasped in surprise. You gently rested your hand on her shoulder.. giving it a squeeze. However, Lili wasn't going to give up just yet. "You!" She spoke once again, pointing at the man that had just spoken.

"You used to do business at Suiko! You're Ko-Ahn! You remember what household I'm from, right? It's me!" She said, smiling brightly, expecting the said man to remember. "Wha- are you.." He began, actually remembering Lili. "Just kidding, there's no way I'd know you!" He said, as the other men began laughing and cackling.

"Hahahahhahhah! You're so cruel Ko-ahn!" They laughed, as Lili's face flushed red from embarrassment. You glanced at Soo-won who averted his gaze.. he seemed dissapointed or perhaps that was anger? You could no longer tell, when you glanced at Yona.. she seemed mad.. she seemed fierce.

The laughing only got louder.. and began pissing you off. But before you could say anything, another man barged in.. yelling: "I-it's terrible! There's a large fleet of ships from the Southern Kai, heading here, right now!!" The men who were once laughing, quickly quieted down.. murmuring about how Lili WAS speaking the truth.

"Didn't I tell you?" Lili spoke, trying her hardest to not waver. You simply took her hand into yours, giving it a squeeze. "We need ships right now, please hand them to us." She demanded, however the men still were hesitant. "Why do we have to lend them to a girl, we don't know?" The proclaimed Ko-ahn said.

"If you lend them to us, we'll drive away the fleet." Lili simply responded. "I don't even have the energy to laugh.. just leave.. how silly." Another man spoke, sighing deeply. The men quickly began mumbling about the situation amongst themselves again. Lili tried speaking or convincing them once again, but they just ignored her.

She got so mad, that she punched the wall right beside Soo-won's face.. with full force. The punch even broke.. the wall. Lili yelled "Listen!"
