Chapter 156
It took Jung-Hee almost three days to recover a bit of her vigor. By that time, they had already received news from the capital. Ha-Yun ran inside their room at first daylight, bringing them a letter from Hana and one from Lord Bak's servant.
After Hyun read both letters out loud, all three of them remained quiet. The gravity of the situation suddenly hit them like a bolt of lightning.
It appeared that the plan had failed. Their friends' group was ambushed by the King just as they climbed on the King's ship. In the end, Jun and the others didn't stand a chance and they had to give up. But at least they did so through an outstanding battle.
From what Hana herself had witnessed, the sounds of swords clashing reverberated above the black river waters for at least half an hour, until it all culminated in a spectacular explosion. As the vessel was blown apart, the air grew hot and heavy.
