Yuna shivered as soon as she stepped outside. It was dark out and the lanterns lit up the walkway. She hid in the shadows behind buildings. There were a few guards keeping watch at night. It would be difficult for her to make it past the guards without getting caught. She picked up a stone and tossed it as far as she could.

Luckily for her, the guards heard the sound and rushed towards the stone. She made her way around the building and into the garden. She made sure to not step on any branches to alert the guards. The trees and bushes were a great cover. She was easily able to maneuver through the garden without getting caught.

She made her way towards Minho's quarters. If Minho were to kidnap someone the prison cell should be near his courtyard. She remembers being locked up in there during her first life. She made her way through the garden towards his courtyard. It was a good thing she remembered the exact layout of Minho's residence, else she would have been lost.

While walking towards his residence, she heard muffled voices in the background. She tiptoed closer towards the sound of their voices. She found a large bush near the entrance to his personal courtyard. She hid behind the bush and focused on what they were saying.

Haemi's annoying voice loudly rung out, "Prince. Stop it tickles!" She peaked through the bush and found out Minho was tickling Haemi. They looked so happy together. Minho grinned, "I won't stop tickling until you admit that you love me." Haemi giggled, "That depends. You've been so busy lately. You don't spend enough time with me."

It seemed that Minho was plotting something. Yuna hoped that it wasn't related to Jimin or the Emperor. She worried that her 3 year absence may have accelerated his plans to assassinate them. Right now wouldn't be an ideal time for an assassination. He still hasn't gained anything from keeping her captive.

If the maids at his residence were correct, then her father must be causing a ruckus in the palace looking for her. It should be a very dangerous time for Minho to plot an assassination attempt. He's probably more focused on dating Haemi right now. Yuna reassured herself and tried to convince herself that the worst isn't happening.

Minho won't be able to easily gain support from her father. She already changed so much of the past. Her father and her have a better relationship. He wouldn't just easily give her away to Prince MInho. She trusted that her father was who she thought he was. He isn't the cold father she imagined. He truly cared for her and she believed in that.

While Yuna was lost in thought, Minho and Haemi continued to banter. Minho pouted, "You know I would spend eternity with you if I could. I just have so much work to do." Haemi smiled with a hint of sadness, "I understand." Yuna was shocked at how good of an actress Haemi was. She already had small pearl like tears at the corners of her eyes. If she were to become an actress, she would've already won a few rewards.

If Yuna were to guess what was happening, she would guess that Haemi was probably going on many dates with other guys while he was busy. It truly worked in her favor. She was probably hiding that fact by acting like she craved his attention. That's the typical signs of a cheater and a manipulator.
