Mayu, a 17 year-old girl, lived in the Hiryuu Castle her whole life. She was raised by the maids in the castle, since Mayu (when she was little) was found near the castle, as if someone left her there, the maids found a letter next to Mayu's body.

A/N: Sorry for this very late update! I hope I made it up to you guys with this chapter and a special chapter ;) (that may or may not be uploaded today)
Jae-Ha's P.O.V
The night was peaceful. The way I like it.
I was playing the Erhu in my cabin.
I remember my bad memories so vividly. It is engraved in my mind forever. The only good part was the man with warm yellow hair, reminding me of the Sun, gave me a warm ragged blanket to comfort me, when I was chained to the ground by the Green Dragon's villagers.
"Not bad" I heard Mayu say as I look over to her. She was standing beside my door.
"Do you want something other than screwing me up since you got here?" I said, making her chuckle.
"Do you really think I came here to screw you up?" She asked as I didn't say anything.
She walked and sat next to me.
"You are not at all what I expected" I admitted, making her raise an eyebrow.
"What? You didn't expect beautiful girls like Yona and I?" She said with confidence.
"Not at all" I softly chuckled.
"You expected men, didn't you?" She crossed her arms as I nodded.
"Anyway, I have a favor to ask you, and this might be the last favor and then I will leave you for good, okay?" She said.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Help me kill the Lord who is making the people of Awa miserable"

Mayu's P.O.V
"Hi" I said to the rest of the squad as Jae-Ha was beside me.
"You have finally decided to show up?" Kija said, crossing his arm, glaring at Jae-Ha. Hak was doing the same thing, but more intense, his blue eyes turned darker in fury.
"Looks like that my services are unwanted" Jae-Ha said as I shook my head.
"They are just hard-headed" Yona said and I agree.
"Care to explain then, Mayu?" Hak asked, crossing his arms as I sighed in response.
"He decided to help. It is as simple as that" I said in a monotone voice. Yona eyed me suspiciously and I looked at her. Our brief eye contact made her understand the situation (A/N: I dunno how, telepathy I guess).
"He is definitely hiding something" Shin-Ah remarks as Kija raised an eyebrow. "Spill it Green Dragon" Hak said as Jae-Ha's face expression turned serious.
I sighed: "Lately, many women were disappearing because of Lord Kum-ji" I stated as I look at Jae-Ha to continue. "I've seen myself, it happen once, and I knew it was caused by the Lord Kum-ji" Jae-Ha said, looking at all of us.
"I once went to a silk shop with a woman. The shop owner insisted her to try their new fine silk. It was odd but I didn't question it. Before I knew, the girl fell for the trap and I never saw her again" Jae-Ha explained his story. "If we want to confront him, we need a good plan" Yona said, stating the obvious. "Don't worry sweetheart, we do have one"
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"Why do I have to dress up as a girl?!" Yoon complained as Yona was putting light makeup on his face. "Come on Yoon, you look cute!" Yona said as he snorted. "I always do! I am the handsome genius of the group!" He boasted, making me roll my eyes playfully.
"Don't cake his face too much Yona, or else it will cover his 'perfect' face" I said with sarcasm as Yona chuckled.
I lightly put red lipstick on and powdered my face (A/N: I don't know how to say it XD). I didn't want to go too overboard 'cause I am not really good with makeup and I could end up ruining my face.

(A/N: She wore that but the pink is not that pale, it's a little more darker)
I shoved a cherry blossom-like pin in my hair. I feel like I forgot something....
"Aren't you going to wear your necklace, Mayu?" Yona said as she showed the moon-shaped necklace that Hak gave to me when I was little.
"Oh! Yes! I forgot about it! Thanks Yon!" I said, calling her by her nickname. "Who gave her that?" I heard Yoon whispered to my best friend as I wore the infamous necklace.
"It's Hak of course" Yona answered.
"Obviously" Yoon sighed.
I gritted my teeth but I've decided to not say anything.
"We should head out now" Yona said. :::::::::: As we went outside the tent, they were all looking at us.
"Princess Yona! Y-you l-look.." Kija was a stuttering mess while Yona was giggling.
"Too sweet that I might get a cavity" I said in a sarcastic tone.
"More like diabetes" Yoon added.
"Not too shabby, Mayu" I heard Hak comment.
"You look decent for the first time" He added as my eyebrow twitched in annoyance.
"Thanks for the compliment I guess" I said.
I look at Yona who was talking gleefully with the blushing mess Kija. Yoon was hitting Jae-Ha with a rolled up map and calling him a pervert while Shin-Ah was looking at the situation with a small smile on his face.
"Be careful Mayu" I heard Hak say. I look at him in the eyes, unsure what to say. This is a big mission. I may not make it out but as long as Yona and Yoon are fine, I will be happy.
"Don't worry Hak" I fake smiled at him.
He kissed my forehead softly as my eyes widen at his sudden action. He bends down to look at me directly in the eyes, a smirk plastered on his face.
"The next one will be on your lips"
A small moment of silence passed by.
"You are doing great, Romeo" I heard Yoon say, making me burst in laughter.
Hak glared at Yoon as I was still laughing like a maniac.
