Chapter 27 : The Weakling Is Back.

"Courting death, that is courting death. She can run away but the remaining ones will perish. Even if my whole family runs away, the whole kingdom will be implicated and gets into extremely serious trouble. Moreover, it's uncertain that we can manage to run away from prince Ha-joon's forces. He had too much influence. Thus, there is no other way"

That was Kim Dae-Seok stating the facts and strongly disapproving of the old woman's proposition.

"So it means you're accepting it that your daughter should be a sex slave?"

Chan-yeol asked while glancing at Kim Dae-Seok curiously.

Kim Dae-Seok found this question too tough to answer. He glared back at the queen mother, Chan-yeol, and quickly turned his head away.

Seeing that Dae-Seok was speechless, Chan-yeol was unsatisfied.

"What kind of a father are you? How can you let your daughter become a sex slave?"

Chan-yeol was very disappointed with this man.

All the other people in the palace did not dare to intervene. These were family matters.

"It's not like I'm afraid and I don't care about Hyun, but there is nothing I can do. What should I do?"

Kim Dae-Seok said in a complained tone.

"You also need me to tell you what to do? As a father, you would have been immersed in thoughts by now, trying to find a way to save your daughter. But you don't even spare time to ponder."

What Choi Chan-yeol said was reasonable. At this moment a good and caring father would have been upset and would go to great heights to save her daughter. But Dae-Seok didn't even attempt to think of a way to save Hyun but got time to reprimand her.

Kim Dae-Seok felt humiliated by being rebuked in front of many people including the three advisors.

Dae-Seok was rendered speechless.

"Hey! Take your daughter away."

Chan-yeol pleaded.

"It's not like I don't want to do that but I'm afraid the whole kingdom will be implicated."

Dae-Seok finally replied self righteously.

"Don't worry about the kingdom, take your wife and your children and flee."

Hearing Chan-yeol's words, Dae-Seok remained with nowhere to hide. He was speechless again.

Actually, Dae-Seok didn't want to leave the palace as well as leave a luxury life and prestigious position and go somewhere far away where he would be an ordinary person.

However, if he really fled, the kingdom would be implicated for real.

Knock!

Knock!

Ari's heart skipped a beat when she heard a knocking sound from the wooden door. She had mixed emotions as she felt happy and scared at the same. She wondered who was knocking on the door.

'It is Yeli?'

She was excited.

'It is someone else, not him?'

She was frightened.

She walked toward the door dubiously and opened it. What she saw caused her to smile. She saw a woman-looking young man in a large white fur coat. He carried a long and thin sword. The corner of his mouth curved into a charming smile.

"Oh it is you Yeli, I know you will come, quickly get in"

She was overjoyed then she closed the door after Yeli entered.

'After waiting for two days, the petite princess is finally here.'

"I'm sorry for coming late, the time I found your letter I was already very far away."

Yeli said nonchalantly seeming to be in high spirits.

"No problem, what you have done is already great. I appreciate you for coming. Just wait here for a while. I want to change clothes."

She said as she walked toward a room formed by beautiful garments.

The garments were a little bit thick that, Yeli couldn't see through them and see her naked body. However, he could see her shadow making the blood in his body boil a little. He glared at the room with a lecherous gaze as countless lustful thoughts flashed in his mind.

After a few minutes, Ari came out wearing a very beautiful long dress. Its colour was blue.

Yeli's gaze was fixed on her as she walked toward him.

"Hey! We should go"

Ari tapped on his shoulder. Only did he snap back from his daydreaming.

"Now? We will not have some tea? I really need some tea. In my kingdom tea is scarce"

Yeli said joyfully, seeming to be great mood.

"Prince Yeli, we don't have enough time. We can be caught"

Ari said with a pleading gaze.

"Don't worry we can not be caught. What everyone knows is that I have left a few days ago. Who can guess that I have come back "

Yeli replied nonchalantly and was filled with confidence while looking at Ari with glistening and enchanting eyes.

"Prince Yeli, we should leave. I'm not comfortable being here. I sense that something evil is about to happen"

Ari sounded helpless.

Yeli was about to say something when the door was suddenly slammed open from outside.

Bang!

A strong man gazed at them in surprise. He was one of king Choi's soldiers.

"They are here!"

Yelled as he blocked the way to prevent Yeli from running away.

Yeli's face turned pale as a sheet. He didn't expect that they could really be caught.

On the other hand, Ari's turned gloomy. She and Yeli had been caught when they were trying to escape from vicious crown prince Ha-Joon. The consequences would be unbearable, especially for Yeli who had followed death.

Both of them didn't move in the slightest. There was no way they could pass through the strong soldier.

Within a few minutes, the large pavilion was filled with about 80 people. These people were Prince Ha-Joon, king Choi, General Park, the red master, and about 70 soldiers.

They all gave Yeli a fierce glare that carried immense hostility and hatred.
