Late at night, Wol and Taehyung left the palace.

Although the two of them spent half the day together, they felt sad whenever they were about to break up.

But, because we knew that we were always on the same page, we bit our lips and held back our words so as not to show it.

But today was a little different.

Following Taehyung's orders, Jeongguk began to move.

This means that at any time, Yoon Dae-sung can notice the movements of the government and even find out the identity of the moon.

It was something that had to be done, but it was too dangerous for Wol.

김태형
It's too late. Even if I take you...

허 월
It's alright, Your Majesty. I'm not a child, and we're in the palace. What danger could there be?

Wol smiled and declined Taehyung's offer.

In fact, from her perspective, she wanted to be with Taehyung for every second.

But it was too dangerous. She knew full well that even inside the palace, it wasn't safe at all.

If he met an assassin on the way, it would be a hundred or a thousand times better for him to risk his own life than for Taehyung to be in danger as well.

So, Wol forced a smile and started walking.

The full moon was brightly illuminating the path to his room.

Thanks to that, the moon was walking along the road with the moon as its friend.

At that moment, footsteps were heard from behind.

At first, I didn't think much of it, but the sound gradually got closer to the moon.

Wol, who intuitively realized that someone was targeting her, felt goosebumps run down her body for a moment.

I thought about it over and over again, and it was a situation I had expected, but the feeling of fear that was creeping in was unavoidable.

As Wol quickened his pace, the footsteps of the person following him also quickened.

Wol started running, feeling cold sweat running down his back.

In the quiet, dark night, only the sound of Moon's footsteps and the footsteps of those following behind echoed quickly.

I wanted to scream right then and there, but my voice wouldn't come out as if something was stuck in my throat.

I didn't even have the courage to look back.

Thinking that I had to avoid them as much as possible, I turned right as soon as the fork in the road appeared.

허 월
Haa...haa...

Wol stopped running, breathing heavily.

And he looked at the high wall in front of him as if he couldn't believe it.

She turned around very slowly as she heard a sound following her.

It wasn't one.

There were five people with their faces covered by black masks and holding swords.

The moon swallowed the saliva that wouldn't go down.

허 월
What do you want?

I thought my voice would tremble, but it was louder and more confident than I expected.

The assassins seemed taken aback by Wol's sudden question, but soon one of them opened his mouth.

"I'm just following orders to bring you your head."

The moon's back became creepy.

Still, I raised my voice even more, thinking that I couldn't be pushed back.

허 월
Hahahaha, five of you came here in a group just to cut off a woman's head? How pathetic.

"This...this bitch has a mouth that's open right now!!"

허 월
Didn't I say it was my neck you wanted? Hurry up and cut it off! I won't tolerate any more commotion.

"I don't need your kind of tolerance."

With those words, five sharp swords flew towards the moon.

The moon slowly closed its eyes.

at that time

I heard the sound of blades clashing against each other.

Of course, Wol, who had expected the blade to dig into him, was startled and slowly opened his eyes.

In front of him, a man dressed entirely in black stood blocking his path.

"Stay against the wall. If you show your back, it will be difficult to defend yourself."

A familiar voice.

It was Jeongguk.

Jeongguk was holding his sword and the Byeolun Sword in both hands.

It was said that he was moving according to the Crown Prince's orders.

The assassins began to panic as they saw the face of the saboteur who had suddenly appeared.

"...!!! Byeolun Sword... It's Byeolun Sword"

The overwhelming momentum of the situation forced them to tighten their grip on their swords.

Back then, we were just glaring at each other

Five people ran towards Jeongguk at the same time.

Jungkook flew up lightly and began to dodge the sword that was digging in as if dancing.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between us narrowed.

전정국
...one....

The sword in his right hand pierced one of his stomachs.

전정국
two.

The sword in his left hand cut off the second man's neck.

전정국
....three

As I cut off the second man's neck and pulled out my sword, the head of the third man who was rushing towards me fell to the floor.

In an instant, three people fell to the floor.

There were only two who still had life left.

They kept their distance and could not easily approach those who had fallen on the floor.

It was a skill that was hard to believe even after seeing it with my own two eyes.

I've only heard rumors, I've never seen it in person...

All three swords fell to the floor with a clatter, not even having the honor of touching his Star Cloud Sword.

Jungkook frowned, looking slightly annoyed.

전정국
Hey... Are you sure you're doing your best? It's a little disappointing...

전정국
If it's like this... it's not fun... huh?
