Calendula [BL/Chanbaek]

The suicide squad was quickly weeded out, and the imperial family went into emergency mode.

The tension in the royal family was tense, and a tingling silence was maintained down to the fingertips.
Baekhyun, who had been raising the young Baekho well, conveyed the news to Chanyeol.

"It's Seol. White Snow. It's the symbol of Jinhyeon-guk, so it would be helpful if you took it with you."

Seol, who was soaked in Baekhyun's marigold scent, grew into an adult with soft, shiny fur.

"Tell them to go to Hongdo. Hongdo is the closest passage between Honghwa and Hwi."
"I will do so. When did you raise such a white tiger?"
"This is the child left behind by Do Kyung-soo. He came here when he was very young and was locked deep inside the palace. Shin-cheop found him and raised him."
"Is this Do Kyungsoo?"
"He takes after his master very well. He is not very grown up, but he is smart and cheerful."

The white tiger would certainly be of great help in the war.
The white tiger, a symbol of the nation and the royal family, was a precious animal that was not very common in Jinhyeon Kingdom.
Harming the white tiger is considered treason and also means abandoning the country.
When the country was destroyed and fell, the people of Jinhyeon, who had started the war, would never harm Baekseol or even touch Chanyeol who was with him.

It had to be cruel, but cool-headed.
