Chapter 22

Kana spent most of his time inside his own courtyard, his mind keeps on thinking about Prince Sunwoo and he felt like he's turning crazy.

He can't stop himself from worrying, gladly his shadow guards always find ways to make him happy.

A sound of a flapping wings was heard on his window.

"Moon!" Kana immediately opened the window and there he saw the owl messenger.

He get the folded letter in his leg, and shove some treats in his mouth.

"Are you tired little Moon? Why don't you rest huh?"

Kana get a large cage that Prince Sunwoo provided for Moon.

The bird hop inside, Kana felt pity on the poor creature. He close the Cage and put it inside his room, leaving the bird resting.

Then he open the letter in all excitement.

"My Sunflower, how are you my love? We are doing fine here. My father sends us here for more serious reason, we will help the Yuan Prince, that's all for now. Don't do anything that can cause you misfortune. Stay on your Pavilion until I come back."

Love, Sunwoo"

Kana creases his forehead. What's happening in the borders?

He knew that it was far from the capital and he can't just tell his guards to go there and spy. He can't do that.

Kana pace back and forth and prepare a letter, he will send it once the bird had proper rest.

"My Sun, please don't worry about me, you know that I can handle myself well, but I found something suspicious and you can't stop me from looking on it, it hit my interest, nevertheless, I will stay in my own courtyard.. Drinking tea. I'll prepare something when you comeback.

Yoongi came without being told.

"What is it?"

"I found out that the Emperor is very weak, looks like he's just waiting for his death, and the Empress was the one giving his medicine.. I also thought that someone change the vial.. This is the real one." Yoongi handed Kana another small bottle.

He sniff it, and it is medicine.

" So someone wanted him dead,"

"Yes, Your Grace."

Kana sigh loudly.

"We can't do something now, Prince Sunwoo told me to stay in my courtyard.. Continue to look after Consort Pleng."

Yoongi disappeared and V, came after him.

"Your Grace."

"Report."

"I eavesdrop on Consort Mia's palace.. She is planning to kill the Emperor."

Planning? Kana rubbed his nape. So the evil Consort did not carry out her plan yet someone did it for her.

"I heard that they will do it, after a week." V, added.

Kana flick his fingers and the rest of his shadow guards appear.

"RM and V, go to the borders now. If the Emperor will die, the Princes will be called to comeback! And if that's the plan of Consort Mia, an assassination is possible! We must move before them. Take care, RM, bring some medicines with you, and V, take this to his highness." Kana give him a sealed letter.

"Yes, Your Grace."

"Seokjin, you'll replace V on spying at Consort Mia, and Jeon and the rest of you, collect some herbs, I will make an antidote."

Poison is the best weapon at this Era, even the arrows used in battles are poisoned. He should atleast be ready.

They don't exactly know when the real enemy will attack.

***

In the borders, Yuan Special Armies and Jong Empire troops fight against the current evil Emperor of Yuan.

Prince Jiwon is thankful that they helped him along with the Armies of Silla.

The sound of sword clanging against each other, swooshing poisoned arrows, gushing bloods and screams of the fallen soldiers filled the entire border of Yuan-Siam, Yuan-Silla intersections.

It's been a week, they will only rest once the enemy retreats, tends to the wounds and sleep for a bit, then after the enemies will attack, again they're back in camouflage.

They are currently resting when Moon came, carrying a message from Khlui.

Prince Sunwoo felt excited he thought it was from Kana but he just get disappointed.

"Your Highness, the Emperor of Jong Dynasty.. Died. And the Empress is currently under observation for committing a crime of killing him by poisoning him, evidences has been found and it looks like the Empress is not in a good shape. Please come back Your Highness."

Prince Sunwoo called his shadow guards and Commander Yin, the brother of Kana goes back with them.

Prince Haii and Prince Tong came along with them as well.

Someone framed his mother? Images of Consort Mia filled his mind. They will pay
