Hey...winter break has started. Just finished exams today. Time for Yuri on Ice and Mystic Messenger :)

I'm really sorry that my writing is kinda going downhill, I'm trying . I sorta skimed through the previous chapter to get a feel of what was going on lol.

Enjoy~

"It really isn't like him to bring back a girl," he chuckles lightly. He places his elbows on the table, his hands holding his head. Staring curiously with bright eyes, he tilts his head to the side, trying to get a better look at my face. I continue to look away, deciding to focus on the fine china set stored away in a glass case in the corner of the room.

Please stop looking, please stop looking, please stop looking.

After several moments, he stops.

I've never liked it when people stare at me. It makes me feel vulnerable, and I hate it when I don't know what they are thinking about. When I was younger, many elites came to the Palace, and they always stared at me with unreadable, dead eyes. However, whenever it was readable, it was never pleasant. They would say I look beautiful, that my red hair, which I hate so much, is beautiful, but their eyes tell me otherwise. They put on fake smiles and try to converse with me, but their eyes. Their eyes...They tell me otherwise.

"You look familiar," he mentions, bringing me out of my train of thoughts. Squinting his eyes and rubbing his chin, a light bulb turns on. "Oh! I know now. You were that maid that was helping me find the Princess! No wonder." His green emerald eyes brightens, fascinated and satisfied.

"Ah, yes, that was me. I'm surprised that you remembered," I mumble. Despite his casual tone, I can't calm down. My heart is racing at the enclosure, knowing that I'm alone with him. My true identity can be found out anytime. I rub my sweaty hands together on my lap discreetly. It feels like my lungs are being compressed. It's hard to breate.

"I knew it. Well, that was all I really wanted to know. Hak brought you here, meaning you have his trust, so I won't question you any further. Did you have any questions for me?" He pulls back and begins to scribble something on a piece of paper.

"What is your goal?" I ask bluntly. I finally look at him, facing Su-woon. I only have one question, one simple question. Even though I heard it though Hak, I want to know his response.

Is it different from what he said? If so, I need to return to the palace and inform Father. If not, I should stay for a while and make sure.

"Hmmmmmmm, I want to change the kingdom for the better. Once our group is big enough, we plan to march to the capital and protest. Then, we'll talk to the king to improve healthcare, military, and job salaries." He smiles. "We are the voice of the people, and I will make sure those voices are heard. Will you join us, for our cause and for the people...um?"

The people...their voices...

Isn't my father already doing that? I guess only time shall tell.

"Yoana. And yes, I do."
