The ambulance finally arrived and they rushed them to the emergency room. The Seventh Prince lost a lot of blood since he was the first to get crashed by another car. The Ninth Princess received minor injuries but she was unconscious due to the trauma of what happened. The Third Prince was the first one to arrive at the hospital and he ran to her side to make sure she was alright. The doctors asked who were the guardians of the patients and he called their families. Their closest friends arrived later on. The nurses brought the Ninth Princess to a private room while the Seventh Prince was in the ICU.

"I already asked the authorities for their case. They were in the right driving lane and their speed was moderate. So, it was the other vehicle's fault." The First Prince said while standing outside the ICU. The Second Prince nodded as he felt that it was not an accident.

"Should I be worried that this might be related to that family?" He asked in a low voice and the younger one slowly nodded his head. There is a possibility that the cause of the accident is that person.

"We should hire someone who can be a spy in their turf. If someone will die from our circle, I don't know what I can do. But I hope everyone will be safe." He continued. The First Prince took his phone and dialed a number.

"I know someone whom we can trust. He already worked for our family and he is very professional." The younger one said and when the call connected, they went out of the hospital for a while.

It was already morning when she woke up. She couldn't move her body as it was too painful. The first thing she thought was him. She saw everyone anticipating for her but she didn't say anything but only his name. The Third Prince asked her to take more rest but she was stubborn. She pulled off the IV fluid tube attached to her wrist and forced her body to get up to look for him.

"Hokuto.. Hokuto.." She kept on calling for him until they guided her to the ICU. She started crying silently while staring at the Seventh Prince's sleeping figure inside the unit.

"Wake up, Hokuto.. Hokuto! Wake up for me, please! Hokuto!" She started slamming her hands on the glass windows and the nurses rushed to her to put her under sedation.

"Love.." She whispered softly before losing consciousness. The Third Prince's jaw tightened when he heard what she called the Seventh Prince. Was it her endearment for him?

They brought her back to her room and he just stood up outside the ICU. He looked at him and he felt immature for being jealous. Before he can do that, he would rather help them recover first and know who did this. He saw the First and Second Princes arriving. He asked them what they discovered and they showed him the surveillance video from the traffic control system.

"It was intentional, right?" The Fourth Prince suddenly asked while staring at his best friend's sleeping figure inside the ICU. The Second Prince felt guilty. If he just accepted that person, no one would be in danger.

"Gia is traumatized and now, them. Do you have any plans on resolving this? We might be the next one." The younger one continued and he clenched his fists tightly.

"I'm not worried about myself. I'm worried that my fiancée will suffer again because of you." The Fourth Prince gave him a cold look before leaving them alone.

A few days had passed and the Second Prince prepared to meet the heiress of the Hayashi Law Firm. He felt like a sacrificial lamb but he doesn't care anymore. All he wants is to keep everyone safe and he doesn't want to give them more trouble. He fixed his tie and walked out of his bedroom. He furrowed his brow, seeing the heiress of Ishikawa Corporations waiting for him.

"What are you doing here?" He asked and she smiled at him. He could tell that she made herself beautiful that day. She was also wearing a suit but it was the make-up that made her beautiful.

"I know you will need my help." She was confident in this. She followed her outside but he didn't bother to open the car door for her. She went inside the passenger's seat as she kept her smile on her lips. He let out a sigh and looked at her.

"I don't need your help. Get out." He leaned closer to open the door but she fastened the seat belt instead. She stuck her tongue out, making him slam the door instead. He started driving and when they arrived at the location, she prepared herself for the worst-case scenario.

She held onto his arm while walking in the hallways of the Hayashi Law Firm. The employees couldn't take their eyes off them because their presence was too powerful. The heiress of the Hayashi Law Firm when she saw them together. Compared to the older woman, she was smaller and lowered. She lightly pursed her lips when the Second Prince held her hand instead.

"I guess, seeing us together will make you stop from harming me and my friends. I wouldn't mind declaring a war as long as this will keep my family and friends safe." He said with a cold voice and the younger one was almost teary-eyed.

"If you keep on harassing my boyfriend, I will pull out my shares in your law firm. This also includes my shares in your other companies." She added and the President was suppressing his anger.
