(Name), is the sister of Soo-won, the only daughter of king's brother, which made her Yona's cousin, the two were inseperable. Being practically sisters, and by luck she met Yona's bodyguard. But during her visit for Yona's 16th birthday, (Name) get...
"I noticed this earlier, but they've taken away all our belongings, including weapons." You say, as Yona eyes the huge bags of belongings by the carriages. "We have to be extra careful." Yona responds, wincing slightly when she suddenly moved her head. "Don't move your head so quickly." Lili advices, a look of worry washing over her features.
"How are we supposed to do work when our bodies are all battered up?!" The man who was whipped from earlier yells angrily as Yona glanced around and noticed how many of the people were heavily injured, her face changes into one you knew well. She thought for a moment on how she could aide these injured people. And then she approached a guard.
"Hey! Those people there are injured, shouldn't you at least cure them?" Yona asks the soldier from earlier as he sends a glare towards her before curtly nodding. "Got it. I'll give them medicine." He says, before disappearing into a tent and returning with a tray full of cups and some sort of translucent liquid in the cups.
"You three should take some." The soldier says, handing the three of you 'medicine.' You eye the medicine suspiciously and watch as the common folks around you gulp down the liquid. You bring the liquid closer to your face. "Hey! This tastes like alcohol!" A guy says, as you bring the liquid closer and smell the odor. One of which was familiar.
"...this is Nadai." You mumble, as Yona brings the liquid closer smelling it too. "Lili don't drink it!" You say, as Yona smacked the liquid out of her hands. Yona was about to warn the common folks too but Tsubaru had stopped her.
"Relax Misses. Small doses of Nadai can actually heal. Hence why it's legal in Sei." She explains as you frown at the liquid. Tsubaru laughs at your expression before speaking once more. "Whether you drink it or not is upto you. But keep in mind this is the only liquid they will provide for you. How long will you last in such a dry place?"
You place the cup of Nadai back onto the tray, and offer Tsubaru a smile. "However long I last is upto me. Laugh at me if you please."
Back at the Inn, Hak the dragons, and Lili's two bodyguards who had gotten the message interrogated... more like tortured and forced the answer out of the inn workers on where specifically you, Yona and Lili were. Hak's patience began running low and soon his threats began to grow fiercer the longer he was away from you.
You were some sort of medicine for Hak, a way to keep him sane and humane. And without you, Hak was simply a rampaging beast getting ready to hunt. It wasn't only Hak's patience that began to run low. There were 5 blood hungry beasts that prepared to hunt. "Do you know what a dragons wrath is? If anything happens to our princesses, burning down a country is a simple matter."

It had been a couple hours and you've grown accustomed to the labor your were forced to do. Or more like, you successfully blended in with the others, and were able to gather information faster. The three of you, were covered in dirt from head to toe and were forced to carry around bags of cement.
Whilst you were "undercover," you found out how this place was not only the emergence of a fort. But multiple different and dangerous weapons were being built and transported here. Sei was preparing for war. With Kouka. With Soo-won.
Not only were people kidnapped and brought here to work from Kouka. But slaves were bought in from Sei. Women and innocent children who were easy to control were bought in. And they were all given Nadai. Controlled by Nadai. And finally, the biggest piece of information was the disposal of those who were too weak.. too drunk.. or too injured. They got rid of them.
The guards were incredibly inhumane and cruel. Even if you slightly caught the interest of one, you'd be toyed around for hours, simply for their own amusement. Almost like poor Lili had done earlier. But, you and Yona had taught her better than that.
Earlier that day, when the sun was at its highest. When the three of you were enduring long hours of rough labor, Lili had paused for a breis moment. She was severely dehydrated and desperately needed water, which caught the eye of one of the guards. He approached her, swinging an arm around her shoulders and asking if she was thirsty.
He laughed at how she hadn't drank any Nadai, your only source of liquid, yet and poured all the contents onto her face in attempts to mock her and amuse himself. However, he was left stunned when the strong women spat out any liquid in her mouth and wiped her face. And she proceeded to end that encounter with: "Thanks. I was just about to wash my face. I feel more refreshed now, thanks to you."
You could still very vividly remember the way she stood so strongly infront of that guard as she wiped her face with her sleeve. You smiled to yourself as you recalled that memory and at how much the Lili you once knew was growing up. You were led out of your thoughts as a guard reminded you to get moving once again.
In truth, as scared as you were, you were also sure that you would be okay. You had two of the most bravest girls here right beside you. Your companions, with strengths of those that belonged to beasts were probably heading here right now. And most of all, the strongest and most powerful man you've ever met, who loved you more than you could imagine was rushing to you. You would be okay. You were sure of it. You just had to believe in every single on of them.
