"You are really a fool; that Pureblood was a part of the plan as well. You really think that a Pureblood is that weak and will allow himself to be taken away this easily," Kw.a.n.gsoo stated as he shook his head towards her.
"Geez! This was my first time. How was I even supposed to do anything? They are always protected, so it was natural for me to think that they are some protected aristocrats who. And defend themselves," Soohyun defended herself.
She then added, "Then, I should also be doubtful of your appearance here. What kind of motive do you have?"
Extending his hand towards her, he flicked on top of her head and said, "Shut up; is that your gratefulness towards someone who saved you?"
"How do I know that you have truly saved me? What if this is just a part of your plan?" Soohyun asked.
"If you doubt me further, I will throw you off of this rooftop, Jiwoo. Believe me when I say that I will be able to do so," he vocalised.
"See, you tell me to trust you. How can I do that when you are literally threatening to kill me? How can I trust my future murderer?" Soohyun voiced out with a teasing undertone.
"Falling from here won"t kill you, and now, stay quiet," he said as he placed his palm in front of her mouth, quietening her down.
She was about to protest against that when she had heard sounds in the room and s.h.i.+fted her attention to that. Leaning down, she caused her ear to come in contact with the rooftop and eavesdropped into the conversation going on inside the room.
Soohyun was careful to not make even the slightest amount of sound, knowing that those down there would be easily able to know of their presence.
"Han Minhyun, what had happened here? Hopefully, you have a satisfactory explanation for all of this."
Hearing the familiar voice, Soohyun went into a deep thought on trying to figure out who this voice belonged to. Then, the arrogance and rage in his tone made her think of the King, and it seemed that this was the King.
"The opposite team was about to kidnap the Pureblood. It seems that two of the a.s.sa.s.sins were capable of running away, and I a.s.sume you know whom I am trying to mean, Han Minhyun."
That was Han Sungmin"s voice; that was something Soohyun knew without a doubt. However, hearing those words from him threw her into a state of confusion.
Who ran away?
"Yes, it was Moon Jiwoo and Lee Kw.a.n.gsoo. The two of them ran out of the ball, and that"s why, I have sent my men to follow them. It seemed that the two of them planned to kidnap the Pureblood."
Those words from Han Minhyun took Soohyun into a state of confusion, and her hand trembled. Nonetheless, she did not allow herself to make a sound.
Deep in her heart, she trusted Minhyun with her life and was well aware that he indeed had a plan behind this. He would not be betraying her like that; she believed in him.
Maybe something had happened in the last minute to cause him to change his plans like that.
At that moment, she was unable to sense his emotions; it was as if that was blocked by something. This left her wondering on whether or not Minhyun had done something on it.
"How can you allow that to happen, Han Minhyun? Jiwoo was supposed to be your fated one! Don"t tell me that you could not keep her under control! You gave her too much freedom. That was why, she was able to trick you so much and plot so much with the Blue Clan. This entire situation is because of you," Han Sungmin yelled at him.
"I apologize; this is all due to my negligence. I will be taking in any punishment you prepared for me. I should have properly seen what type of person Moon Jiwoo is when she got to be my fated one. It was my mistake to be tricked by her this badly," Minhyun vocalised— his tone being docile.
"We can"t still trust you, Han Minhyun. What if you are with be the enemy. After all, Moon Jiwoo was your fated one, and you could clearly sense her emotions. It would have been very easy for you to see whether or not she was cheating you," the King vocalised, "Even you are suspicious, Han Minhyun. You will be investigated properly and stripped off of your current powers. Remember that."
"Yes, I am willing to go through all of that if I seem suspicious, Your Majesty. About her emotions, she showed me only the emotions she wanted to. Most of the times they were blocked, and I just left it alone at that time, not thinking much of it. She might need some privacy," Minhyun lied.
"Han Minhyun, geez! You should have told me about your plan beforehand instead of making me this anxious now. You better be fine after this, or I will choke you for sacrificing yourself."
"You have heard enough. Now, let"s go down before we alert someone of our presence at here," Kw.a.n.gsoo whispered while he removed his hand off of Soohyun"s mouth.
"Did you know about this plan beforehand?" Soohyun asked as her gaze on him sharpened.
"Well, you can say I did or else how did you expect me to be your knight in s.h.i.+ning armor?" he questioned.
"What"s Minhyun"s entire plan then? I don"t want to get another shock like that again. d.a.m.n! It feels horrible to be excluded from the plans," she vocalised.
"Isn"t surprise fun? What about I don"t tell you about anything, and you just go along with the situation? That would make things more natural," he stated.
"Yah! What are you—"
Before she could continue further, she felt something being pressed against her mouth, and within a matter of a second, her consciousness faded away.
"Everything is better this way," he mumbled.
