레드벨벳 평행 우주

제25화. 전략

After her encounter with Saeron, Yeri and Wendy left the palace without meeting the King of Hora.

However, they decided to go back the next day. They can't possibly let the other Kingdom be, without knowing about their plan.

The second time around, they finally get to meet Saeron's brother, the king of Hora.

Wendy

We finally met...

Sungjae

I believe you're the clairvoyant?

Wendy

I am...

Sungjae

And you are?

Sungjae turns to Yeri.

Wendy

Ahh, she's our Kingdom's best weapon handler. Though she might not look like it...

Sungjae

I see. What'd you came here for?

Wendy

You didn't forget about our alliance now, did you?

I believe Joy told you about it.

Sungjae

How could I possibly forget?

Wendy

We need to know about your plan of course. That's the only way for us to make ourselves useful.

Sungjae

I like that attitude of yours, but I believe you don't have to do anything.

Wendy

What? This is an alliance...

Sungjae

Of course it is. But you can leave it all to me.

Sungjae

I already made my move. So all you have to do is wait. Understood?

Wendy

You already made your move? Is that it? Or do you not trust this alliance at all?

Sungjae

Don't worry about such things.

Sungjae

Besides... Trusting you is a decision for me to make.

Sungjae

Just make sure the queen doesn't find out about Joy coming here. That's all you have to do.

Sungjae

Now leave. Your queen could be scary when she's doubtful.

Wendy

Then... we'll leave it up to you. We're leaving for now.

Wendy and Yeri left with so much doubts in mind.

Yeri

What does he even mean when he said they already made their move?

Wendy

I'm not sure about that either, but we have to go back to the palace now. I'm suspecting someone...

Yeri

Who?--- Wait... Seulgi is aware that we left the palace today right?

Wendy

Yes...

Yeri

What if---

Wendy

That's why I'm telling you to hurry up!

They head back to the palace as fast as possible...

But outside the palace gates stood a person they didn't expect to meet there.

Yeri

Saeron?!

Yeri

What are you doing here?!

Saeron

You're here...

Yeri

Why are even thinking?! How could you show up right in front of the palace gates?!

Saeron

Now you understand how I felt when I saw you the other day?

Wendy

Ahem. Just so you know, I'm still here...

Yeri drags Saeron to a safer place. Although Wendy is worried about the queen, she had no choice but to go with Yeri.

Yeri

Why are you here?!

I'll tell you after you calm down.

Wendy

How cute of you two...

Wendy

S-she's right... Calm down.

Saeron

Don't worry... No one knows I'm here. I just came to tell you about something.

Yeri

What is it?

Saeron

Last time... I happened to have heard my brother and Joy talking... It seemed like they were planning something unpleasant again.

Wendy

Okay, but why are you telling us about this? Are you betraying your brother?

Saeron

I know your alliance is nothing but a scheme you made. I know you can't do such a thing...

Wendy

How can you be so sure?

Saeron

I know just how much you adore the queen--

Wendy

Okay stop!

Wendy

Is that it? Is that why you came all the way here?

Saeron

I came here cause I don't want to witness another war... I can't let history repeat itself...

Saeron

I don't even understand why my brother wants to do something so cruel...

Out of the blue, someone shows up from behind.

Seulgi

What are you doing here? I thought you went to the other palace?

Yeri

Since when were you here?

Saeron

Y-you... W-why are you here?

Wendy

Wait, you know her?

Saeron

My brother sent you to the other world so you can kill the queen... W-why are you here?!

Seulgi

Other world? Kill the queen?! What did you just say?
