Monarch [BL/Chanbaek]

13.

The palace ladies are happy to see the prince, who has returned to his former self before the Empress passed away, and is now affectionate and kind.
They brought me candy and sweets.

Then, the palace maid walking behind Baek suddenly falls.
The bracelet broke off and Baekhyun was annoyed, but he still smiled and helped the palace maid up.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"Yes, Your Highness. I am sorry."
"It's okay."

As Baekhyun was near the pond, looking at the carp after finishing his planned walk, something suddenly reached out from under the water, grabbed his neck, and dragged him into the water.

Baekhyun was sucked in so quickly that he couldn't even resist.
All the palace maids were so startled that they jumped into the pond and reached out, and chaos broke out.

I was dragged into the water without even taking a breath, and the owner of the hand, who was glaring at me with glaring black eyes, pulled me in even harder, so I struggled.

To the palace maids, it appeared as if Baek had suddenly jumped into the pond and was quietly closing his eyes in the water, so they mistook it for a suicide attempt.

I tried desperately to pull that hand away from me in the water, but my whole body was scratched and wounded by the sharp aquatic plants.
As the branch tore at his tender skin and blood spread, he let go and disappeared.

The palace maids quickly rescued Baekhyun, who was floating above the water.
