19 You piqued my interest.

"I really shouldn't have believed that Shinrae. I know her the most since she is a character made by me. Of course she won't help me out of here." The second princess murmured, throwing off a tantrum. "ARGH! This is so, so, soooo frustrating! I can't do this anymo—"

Ah. I remember something. The main character in my story, second princess Min Rae got held-in, in here too. It was because she's trying to apply a medicinal herb, plantain, to the grand empress's burnt skin, and got accused of attempting to harm the grand empress.

Plantain is a medicinal herb. It's leaves and roots are the most important part of it. This medicinal plant is often used as an remedy for burnt skin, cuts and wounds, insect bites, and sore throat.

So what happened after she was held in here was... She escaped through the window!

Then Ye Beom rushed through the window but stopped. "But, I've tried it multiple times already. Did I gave a specific location of the window?" Her forehead creased as she snickers.

"This is getting quite annoying." A big sigh came out from her. "If the plot of this story won't stay the way it is supposed to be, then I have no choice but to interfere the flow of this story for my own survival."

Ye Beom looked around the room, and studied each and every corner on it. She roamed and roamed around like in circles. When she suddenly stopped, and stared at something intensely.

Ye Beom bit her lip, as the corner of her mouth turned up. "How could I forgot. The roofs... are an easy way out too."

Now that I have found a possible exit, all I need to do is to find how to climb my way up there. The table alone is not enough. If I am to put the chair in the middle, the table might go unbalance. Why does the table have to look like a circular bar table? How unlucky.

But even so, I need to try my best.

With this reasoning, Ye Beom pulled the blanket, after that she pulled the binyeo she's wearing from her hair. "This binyeo is new, so it should be sharp enough to tear this blanket."

Ye Beom, as her plan, she tore the blanket to make it thinner and longer. "All I need is something heavy, but something that won't create a loud noise when it fall." She sighs as her eyes searched the room once again.

"Ah no. I don't need to worry about the sound." She glanced at the bed. "I'll use the mattress."

Now that she has placed the mattress on the floor, all that Ye Beom need's to find out is what to tie on the end of the blanket.

"All the thing here in the cold palace is probably old. All I need is something short but heavy. Short but heavy." She repeated to herself. "Short but... the tea table's foot."

A few moments later.

"Damn it! I thought it would be easy to detach the foot of this tea table. This is taking my ages!" She complained in between of her breath, as she continuously kicking the foot off of the tea table.

"Damn, gasp.. this, gasp...thing!!"

CRAACKK!! THUD!

"Ah it broke! Yes! Hahahaha!" Ye Beom rejoiced as the foot has finally detached from it's body. "Now then, let's tie you up—"

CRAAAASSHHHH

As soon as Ye Beom was tying the tea table's foot, someone from the roof fell into her room that made her heart jump out. "AHHHHH!!"

"A-AAAHHHHHH!!!!!" The unknown person shouted too.

"A-ahhh, eh?" Who... is this person? Ye Beom thought.

"Ah?? Huh?" Wait, what am I supposed to do now? The person covered in black clothing was confused as well.

THUD! The sound of the door being sprang open startled the two confused people inside the cold palace.

"Your highness?! What has happened?" Min Wangyu came rushing in.

He stopped on his tracks when he saw the covered in black clothing, near to the princess. He glared at that person, as he reaches for his ssaurabi. Ready any time to unsheathe his weapon, and launch to the target. Wangyu is slowly drawing his ssaurabi and cautiously, as he is now on his defensive stance.

"There is no need for bloodshed."

A WOMAN?! Ye Beom's eye widened upon hearing the woman's voice.

"Min Wangyu... we're allies." She stated.

"My only ally is my sword, my ssaurabi." Wangyu retorted.

"We have the same objective, Wangyu!" She tried to convince him.

"Shut your nonsense, and stay away from the princess!" Wangyu snarled as his brows drew together.

As the distance between the mysterious woman and Wangyu grew closer, the woman had no choice left but to...

"Golden Ginko!" The woman blurted.

Wangyu's eye widened in bewilderment. THE CODE! No, not yet. Not like this.

He grabbed the woman the the wrist and placed it on her back, knocking her down to her knees with the ssaurabi at the woman's throat. "Make your escape if you don't me to kill you unnecessarily." He whispered.

And just as what Wangyu said to the woman, she broke free from him, and with a blink of an eye, she was gone. Leaving the second imperial princess Ye Beom, and the suspicious Wangyu, alone together inside the wrecked cold palace.

Just now. What was that? The stunned second imperial princess asked herself while staring as Wangyu, whom is now staring back at her.

"You... just now, what was that all about. I thought something was off about you from the very first. A new hired soldier of the blue wolves, but known as 'the blood lust soldier of the battlefield' , is here guarding my door, instead of guarding the boarders of the empire." Ye Beom confronted Wangyu.

"I'm not sure what your objective is. But I know that your capable of assassinating me." She insinuated. "Leave. And tomorrow, by the morning when I wake up, make sure that the roof is all repaired and done." Ye Beom continued without even looking at Min Wangyu. Afraid that she might give him off a disgusted look. And so with that, Wangyu went outside the palace.

Yeah, I knew it. It's a bit off, no, not just a bit, but it really was. "Min...Wang...Yu, not only I don't know who's side you are at. But so is you, as a character of my story. I may not be able to know what my other characters looks like yet, but there is no way that I wouldn't be able to recall my characters name's. Besides, you're an odd one to be just a side character. There's no way you're just a side character for one of my chapters."

A smile drew of her lips. "Haaah... Min Wangyu, you piqued my interest." She ended.
