Nathan
I looked at them in confusion. What?
What’re they talking about? Hold her until the culprit is found?
“But she’s innocent” I scoffed and stood upright.
“It doesn’t matter, Nathan” Duri answered.
“She was meant to save father, but now, he’s dead”.
“And how is that any of her fault?” I moved closer to him.
“Don’t forget you had abducted her and had her tied up against her will. So, the entire time, she was here and could have nothing to do with father’s death!”
“Get out of the way, Nathan!” He growled.
“I still can’t believe you’d kill your own father because of a commoner”.
“What’re you talking about, Duri? I didn’t kill him. I’d never do such a thing!”
A brief silence stepped in as he glared hard at me.
“I’m really sorry for what happened to father. But since he isn’t around anymore, then there’s no need keeping her here. I know the rules…” I looked directly at the council.
“I know the laws. And you and I both know you don’t have any reason to continue keeping her here. The disciples shouldn’t be treated like hostages, they should be respected – well, unless they have a task to do. But at the moment, Danica doesn’t have any task. So, she doesn’t deserve to be here”‘.
And with that, I turned back to Danica.
She was looking so scared and shaky and carefully, I unbounded her and carried her up.
Duri and the rest of the council members stared silently at me, obviously in shock. But I didn’t give a damn as I hurried out of the room with Danica.

Bitna
Having nowhere else to go in this God-forsaken area, I decided to return home.
Goodness! I couldn’t believe I was actually referring to it as “home”.
Getting there, I found an older woman in the sitting room and I recognized her to be Danica’s grandmother. Or should I say… my grandmother?
She was knitting a cloth and paused to look at me as I walked in, but I ignored her and went over to the refrigerator.
I opened it, hoping to get some cold water. But to my surprise, it wasn’t working.
“What?” I shrieked and turned to the direction of the “grandma”.
“Why is this stuff here if it isn’t working?”
She just turned slightly and shot me a stare, then turned back to what she was doing.
What the…
“Hey! I’m talking to you!” I snapped, but she didn’t even bother to spare me a glance.
“Seriously? Does everyone have to be dumb in this house?” I mumbled angrily and turned back to the fridge to take the annoyingly hot bottle of water.
I heard footsteps and by the time I turned to have a look, I found the grandma standing in front of me. And to my greatest surprise, she landed a resounding $lap on my face.
The bottle fell from my hand as my palm went upto my cheek .
Wait… what?
“If you don’t have manners, young lady, I’d advise you to buy some” she pointed her finger at me.
“I still don’t know why Kim had to give birth to a spoilt brat like you. But one thing’s for sure, I’m never going to accept your mannerless attitude! So, learn to adjust and mind the way you behave around here”.
And with that, she walked away.
I stood muted for a long time, my palm still over my cheek and didn’t know when tears strolled down.
I couldn’t believe it. She slapped me. For the first time in my life, someone’s hand was touching my face.
I whimpered and ran out of the house, more tears streaming down my cheeks.
I panted heavily as I ran and finally stopped when I couldn’t run any more. Then, I bursted into more tears.
What has my life become? Why do I have to be so unlucky, huh? Why?
I wept bitterly, wishing there was a way I could turn the hands of time.
No; this was all the doctor’s fault. It was all his fault!
If only he had kept to the agreement, then none of these would’ve happened.
I sniffed and wiped my face with the tip of my shirt. Then, I started walking away, headed for the hospital.
There had to be payback. I needed to make him pay for contributing massively to ruining my life.

Chi’s Pov:
The guards were made to kneel in front of the Royal family and member’s of the council
Their heads were bowed as they hoped for the best
“You were in charge of guiding his room, yet you allowed something like this happen. How could you!” One of the councils rasped, but the guards said nothing.
“We should have your heads for this” Duri chipped in.
“But how did this happen? Who was the last person to visit the King’s room?” The second queen asked and to that, the guards had an answer.
The first one lifted his head to look at them. And then, he answered:
“It was Prince Jimin”.
