The maid

Caas was taken to a prison, she looked confused, ' why all of the sudden, am sure those girls framed me, if haru finds out he'll be worried, I'll make him in trouble'.

Prince Ahn was in his chambers laying down relaxing, " I feel like am growing old already, I don't have fun anymore," in that moment a maid came in rushing " your highness,,,"

" what!, again,,,, am just relaxing and breathing" he said closing his eyes

" maid caas,,, she's in prison" the maid said

The prince immediately stood up" what! Why would she be there?!!" The prince asked

" she,,,she,,,she was found guilty of stealing ", the prince was confused, he immediately went out, but another maid stopped him " your highness, you have lessons later", the prince couldn't understand when he was about to go, his tutor came• no she can't do that,,,, Dan where is he,,,,• haru wasn't anywhere to be found, but he went running to see caas at the prison " caas,,, caas" he came rushing and saw her sitting " your highn,,, haru" she said ,

" why are you here, who did this" haru said worried and concerned

" don't worry about it, it's just a few moment,,,,and you didn't come home last night where were you, I couldn't sleep and seff was worried " she said

" that doesn't matter now, i need to get you out of here,,," haru said , but caas held his hand " don't cause trouble haru, I'll be fine", haru looked so much worried,

Iris was in the library, a maid came in to tell her about caas, she was shocked,she immediately went out and on her way she saw haru passing and he looked angry ' he might be worried'

" why are you here" someone came from behind, then she turned to look " father"

" were you going somewhere" sir mun asked

" no father,,, I was just in the library and I was taking a walk" Iris replied

Sir mun grabbed her hands " good job my daughter, if your lessons are done we can go home together ", Iris looked worried but she went with her father.

Prince Ahn was reading but he wasn't focused," your highness are you alright " the tutor asked, Ahn put his book down and stood up, " I can't let that happen ", in that moment a maid entered with a tray of tea,Ahn looked at her " go and bring your senior maid to me",

the maid was shocked but she agreed, on her way,haru was walking going to the prince's chambers,the maid passed him' this looks familiar, her walk,,,,wait', he stopped and looked back, but the maid was gone, • I've seen her before•

Haru went to see the prince, Ahn stood up quickly and stared talking to haru " dan, I've been looking for you,,,, how's your sister "

Haru didn't say much,' am sorry your highness",he then bowed to the tutor, the tutor was on his way to leave.

"I am sure your sister didn't do anything, maybe she's scared, the palace can be scary place,,, but don't worry I'll get her out,,," prince Ahn said.

*sala's chambers *

" what!!, why would the prince want talk to the senior maid??," sala said

" I don't know your highness, but from what I hear it might be because of the maid who is in prison, she works for the prince " the maid said

"That's ridiculous,,,that doesn't give him a right to interfere with women maids at the palace it's not his position,,,,he's making a lot of trouble,,,"

The senior maid went to see the prince, she came with a maid too, but after entering, the other maid went to stand outside.

Senior maid bowed for the prince," how have you been your highness, you summoned me"

" yes,,, you are right," Ahn said in a calm voice,

" I heard that the maid who work for me is In prison,,,, what was it,,,, for stealing,,,,, but I don't understand how she did that, could you explain for me"

" your highness, she was found guilty, stolen things were in her belongings" senior maid said

" wow you are so quick at catching thieves, and how did you know,,,, did you also search other maids, or it was only her,,,," Ahn said, and the senior maid went silent, but she managed to say " your highness, I think we already have proof and she,,,," while she was speaking Ahn continued " you didn't answer my question, did you search other maids too,,,, because as far as I remember when she was bullied, you never punished the others who bullied her, until i took her as my maid,,,, am starting to worry that this will ruin my reputation as a prince "

" am sorry your highness,,,, this is a different case" the senior maid said, the prince came close to her " I hope nothing happens to her,,,,right!!",

Senior maid went, followed by her other maid, haru kept looking at her • am sure I've seen her•

* king's chambers *

Guard shik was kneeling before the king, the king handed him a letter " tomorrow take this to sir Rong,,, make sure nobody follows you"

guard shik took the letter and kept it " I receive your orders your majesty,,,,while am gone please take care of your health "

" hahaha,,,, don't worry , your king is healthy"

The sun went down and the night was approaching, Caas was sitting and sleepy, haru came and stared at her, when she turned to look she saw haru and came close " what are you doing here aren't you supposed to be home" she said, haru gave her a box of food" here eat this, you didn't eat anything",

" thank you" she opened food to eat, then haru said " am sorry, you had to go through this,,, I shouldn't have let you work here"

" what are you talking about,,, I said am fine,,, at least I didn't have to do a lot of things today,,,, I'll take it as a break,,,, and I still got credits for this food " caas said trying to be cheerful, but haru looked serious " am serious,,,,, after you get out you should never come back to work here and we have to leave sila too in few days", caas didn't know what to say, haru stood up and went outside • am sorry, caas•, while he was going, he changed his sword form left hand to right, because his shoulder was in pain, on the way he saw the same lady maid, he followed her, the maid went to the women's chambers,she was peeping like she was scared, she entered and started packing quickly some of her stuffs and also panicking, she went out having things wrapped in a cloth, haru followed her everywhere she was going, the maid went near some wall and wanted to throw the wrapped cloth over, when she heard someone she tried to pretend trying to hide the wrapped cloth under her large skirt, when she turned a sword was on her neck, when she saw haru she immediately went down on her knees crying " please don't kill me,,,"

" so it was you,,," haru said out of guessing, and the lady started crying begging him not to kill her," I didn't do anything please don't tell senior maid"

" you are the one who steal things huh,,,how do you even ask for mercy " haru said still pointing a sword on her

" am sorry,,,I didn't know it would turn out like this,,,, all I wanted was to get a lot of money to save my sick grandmother and sister,,,, I didn't plan to put it on her,,,,the other maids framed her,,,, I thought they wouldn't go in her things since the prince cherish her,,,, please don't kill me",the maid said while crying and shaking, haru got angry and clenched on his sword hard " prince cherish her,,,, ha,,, do you know what you've done?,,, if my friend gets hurt i won't forgive you,,,, you must turn yourself in or else I'll do it my way,,,"

she cried and agreed, then haru left.

while he was going on his way he met guard shik, he bowed to greet him and continue his way, but guard shik stopped him, haru got scared a little and guard shik looked how he was holding his sword" I think you dropped something " he picked a sword knot and gave it too him" I think you might need to attach this again on your sword "

"thank you" haru said and took the knot, and he went, guard shik stayed and looked at him going • he reminds me of something, his eyes,his smell, and why is he holding a sword in his right•, while guard shik was about to go he saw blood on the ground 'aah! blood!' he immediately turned in shock and wonder, but officer Willy came " guard shik,,,why are you here alone,,"

guard shik sighed " it's nothing, I was about to go,,, what about you,,, why are you here late shouldn't you be home"

"actually I was on my way to go, we just had a lot of work today,,,, I was going to relax with some wine,,,how about you join,,,since you came we haven't had at least a cup of wine" officer Willy said, guard shik agreed and they went.

seff was walking, but he sensed he was being followed, he suddenly rushed another way to hide, the person who was following came running to see where he went off, in that moment seff came from behind and started fighting with him, they're both good fighters, seff was about to defeat the other man, but someone put a sword on his neck
