FLASHBACK: A Day and Hours before all this.

After moving the guards to a disregarded house, Morgiana made sure to block the prisoners from leaving before following Yona and Shirayuki out onto the road, that's where the princess found herself freezing up. She noticed a familiar face whom was riding a horse with a guard. He halted in the frozen spot as Yona rushed before him and glared.

"Yona?!" Soo-won spoke up as he was shocked.

Both Shirayuki and Morgiana looked at him as well.

As Yona's grip stiffened, then taking a deep breath she replied out. "Soo-wan I need your help"

...

After a few moments, Yona explained what was going on. Though as she finished telling the story, it seems the king of Kouka turned his head and closed his eyes, of that of a stern ruler.

"Forgive me, but I cannot and will not allow myself to become involved in these types of affairs." Soo-Won spoke adamantly as he grabbed on his horse's reins pulling on it gently, as he began leading his horse to head out of the city.

Stricken with disbelief, Yona's face reddened as her anger welled up inside her like an angry island volcano ready to blow..

Morgiana and Shirayuki watched from the side unsure of just what to do, Until Yona made a bold choice, And bolted forward placing herself in Soo-Won's path, her eyes burning in rage, as she shot him an unnerving glare. "Enough!"

Yona shouted as she struggled to contain her anger. "Cannot get involved!? You took away my only family and now you can't get involved! You owe me this Soo-Won!"

Yona's eyes burned, seething with the hate she felt for him. Every inch of her body told her to run him through, to strike him down where he stood.

However now was not the time, right now she had to focus, her friends, her family were in danger and killing Soo-Won would not save them. For the time being she had to swallow her pride and do what must be done to save her family.

"Please Soo-Won! They have Hak too… So… if you won't do it for me then please do it for someone who you once called a friend."

Yona stood firm, she refused to move until he was convinced. and until he agreed to help, she was no longer the delicate, and sheltered little girl Soo-Won used to know.

The ferocity in her eyes caught Soo-Won off guard, he stood there not exactly sure how he should proceed. Though stunned and confused he could think of nothing to say to the crimson-haired princess before his eyes.

Before long Yona spoke out again. "Help me save my family Soo-Won. Help me save the people of this city. You are supposed to be their king. A true king protects his subjects! All of his subjects!"

The female looked around as she noticed both the Generals behind Soo-won, as they both looked at the princess with disbelief in their eyes. There in the blink of an eye stood a red-haired princess that was supposed to have fallen off a cliff and died, Or so that is what the rumor is, but here she stood Demanding help from the king.

Soo-won looked at her as emotions filled his head, on one side he wanted to hold the princess in his arms and tell her that he was sorry, explaining his reasoning for everything, But atlas he knew that he couldn't, he knew that nothing was ever going to be the same, since the actions he opposed upon this female. There was no way they could turn back time, That was the Guilty weight that this golden crown bore.

"Soo-won please!" Yona begged as she looked at him.

Though begging as she did, Soo-wan seemingly turned a blind eye to it and moved around her. He tried his best not to look back. Though what stopped him in his tracks was something he was shocked to hear, for when he moved around the princess, it seems Yona yelled out and closed her eyes while claiming something loud, something that was forever etched into his mind like a colorful painting.

"YOU CLAIM TO HAVE KILLED MY FATHER BECAUSE HE WAS A COWARD, BUT THE ONLY COWARD I SEE, IS THE JERK BEFORE ME, THAT I ONCE LOVED."

" I WOULD RATHER DIE FOR MY PEOPLE OVER WAITING FOR A FOOL LIKE YOU, TO ACT HUMAN."

She Did something that was beyond unexpected in which the jeweled pin that she received on her 16th birthday, was now thrown to the ground hard, as Yona Ran off.

Shirayuki noticed the Shocked look on Soo-wan's face as she picked up the still intact pin and placed it in her bag, before Signalling Morgiana to follow her and Yona.

And with that, they all decided to make a move on their own.

Leaving Soo-won in his own thoughts, The Three now determined females watched the boat carefully, until the night came where they decided to attack, it was now or never.

ON THE BOAT, in the event, after everyone was freed.

"Yona.. talk to me are you alright?" Hak spoke up and Yona listened but she could not respond.

"Yona!.. princess... YONA!" Suddenly everything grew quiet as she couldn't keep her eyes open.

It was at this time large footsteps could be heard in the distance of the smoke as everyone keeps their mouths covered. That is before it started to disperse.

"ARREST EVERY SOLDIER ON THIS BOAT AND FIND THE CAPTAIN!" A voice yelled out as more footsteps could be heard.
With this, a large commotion could be noticed, as it was no other than Soo-wan whom called out these orders and rushed over to Yona's side.

His expression changed and softened as he noticed what had happened. He picked up Yona, though Hak snatched her back, his aura darkening as he glared at soo-wan with hatred. Though Jea-ha brought him back to his senses, after placing his hand on the thunder beast's shoulder.

"Don't touch her," Hak Growled out to the hated king, before rushing out and holding Yona only to bring her over to Yoon, whom was on the sidelines aiding the prisoners they freed from before.

Shirayuki decided to rush over by Yoon as well, as Yona leaned against the boat.

Yoon called out in a frantic voice. "I need something to stop the bleeding." Shirayuki reached into her bag and pulled out a bandage that was wrapped tightly in a cylinder.

"Will this work?" the Red-haired female asked worriedly.

In thought, yoon looked at the herbalist before nodding his head. "I'll take care of yona, you help the others who need to be wrapped up."

Quickly Yoon and Shirayuki went to work aiding those in need, as the king's soldiers began yelling around in a frantic scurry to capture the traders, though just on a chance of bad luck. It seems one of the soldiers decided to throw a torch down against the ship as the wood crackled and burned up in smoke, it was official, the boat was now caught on fire.

Hak, Sinbad, and Zen worked on capturing those who tried to flee. While the dragons, Alibaba, and Ren gathered what they could find on the ship to aid those in need. Aladdin, Morgiana, Izana, Obi, Mitsuhide, and prince Raji rushed off the boat in a frantic hurry to protect the women who were rescued from ship one and placed on a small boat.

they were now taking turns to place each group they rescued to shore before finally completing that mission.

But there was a problem, there was only one ship... where were the other two with captives and the captain?

Soo-won called out as the Ship was deteriorating into the sea. "EVERYONE HURRY ABANDON THE SHIP." With this, the team of Captives took 3 boats that were resting on the side of the ship. It was a bit crowded, but Soo-wan hopped off the boat he was on and so did the rest of his soldiers, whom allowed. |Zeno, Yoon, Yona, Shirayuki, and Morgiana for safety.

Hak, Zen, shin-ah, Jea-ha, and Aladdin took one boat,

Izana, Kia-ja, Sinbad, Obi, Alibaba took another.

In which left, Mitsuhide, Ren, Raji, to take the last remaining boat, As all headed for safety to the port city, While the wretched trap of a boat burned with a seething heat that causes the sea to bubble up, it sunk to the depths no longer preserving the need to harm anyone else ever again

Hak took Yona from Yoon's arms and rushed over to their campsite. Soo-wan followed as well despite Hak's warning signs to back off.

Hours passed as the campfire was filled with an abundant amount of voices as Yoon began in the process of making a huge meal for everyone. Soo-wan decided to leave for a bit to help guide all the women they have rescued back to their rightful homes and families and gave his sincere apology that this happened as well, though many families cried in grievance as their loved one was still missing, The king had nothing to say to comfort them, as he could not understand why..

When Yona soon begins to become more aware of her surroundings, soo-wan decides it's time to leave back to the palace, not realizing this mission was worse than it was before.

For there were two boats and a captain still out there, her people were in danger and now the journey in which was supposed to end at the red dawn has now become a destiny.

CURRENT TIME

After Yona had learned about the events of due prior to what happened on the ship, She looked at everyone shocked. "Soo-won saved us?" The heir was confused, Why would he do such a thing, didn't he hate her and Hak? why would the enemy or, He.. do something like that, maybe he wasn't such a bad coward after all. she now could feel hak's grip tighten behind her as all her thoughts began to fade. "I'm alright Hak."

Though a clear to someone's throat made her pause. "This is all well and dandy but are we forgetting this is far from over." The Prince Raji said as he was a bit more calmer today than, of the days prior. "One we're all stuck in an unknown kingdom, Two there are still two boats missing with Prisoners."

"And so is the captain," Alladin Added in.

Which left the 3 females and an abundant amount of males to exit in a sigh.

It was then Shirayuki remembered what was in her bag and pulled out a paper. "Wait I know, I retrieved this when we went down to the prison quarters, it was in the captain's room before he decided to bail ship. it's a map and plans of what was to happen, hmm let's see."

"It says here. Step one, Capture the woman and lure them on the boat. Step two, Set sail two nights prior in order to not get caught, step three, divide all the three ships into 3 different ports.

"*Ship one, Ends up to the kingdom of Xing."
"*Ship 2 Will end up to potential buyers of the Wisteria kingdom, Do not let the king under any circumstances know any of this."
"and Ship 3, Captives shall be sent to the kingdom of Kou where the price for labor will be high. "

Shirayuki looked at Zen, Izana, Obi, Mitsuhide, and Raji. "The Letter!" She commented in understanding that things are now becoming a bit more clearly than they were before, "The one that was sent to the kingdom to us in urgency...it was all a diversion?"
