Choi Young awakes in the night and sees Eun Soo sleeping by his side. He looked around and realised that he was back at Gi Chul's residence. Choi Young moved his hand away from Eun Soo's grip and that alerted her.

" Oh, you are awake! Don't move! " demanded Eun Soo.

" what just happened? How did you come out? Are you alright? " Upon asking, Choi Young tried getting up from his resting position. Eun Soo was quick enough to press him down and hold him back, forcing him to lie down.

" You will have to lie down first, if you want to know! " ordered Eun Soo impatiently. She couldn't stand patients who refuse to listen to her...

" okay okay, can you tell me now? " followed Choi Young immediately after her order. Choi Young was once again lying down, looking at Eun Soo in the eye, for he wanted to know the truth.

" Soo In told me that you were hurt by Gi Chul's sword while protecting the King. They couldn't heal you because the wound was long and deep, hence they got me out to heal you. I heard that they were willing to do so, because Gi Chul couldn't lose you yet, he still needed you to fight against the King. " replied Eun Soo.

" Yes, I know the King is still in danger. He almost froze because of Gi Chul! I hope he is fine now. I will write to the Queen to find out more... No, maybe not, I might cause more trouble if I write. I may make another mistake..." said Choi Young.

" Everyone makes mistakes. To err is human, now, you should concentrate on healing. Afterwards, you think of a way to save the King and I. The King comes first, Choi Young! " explained Eun Soo.

" Eun Soo, how did you get kidnapped? I am sorry that I failed to protect you, " asked Choi Young.

" That day, I wanted to search for you, but Gi Chul had sent Eun Ja and Soo In after me and they knocked me unconscious. When I woke up, I found myself locked in a room. They gave me food and water daily. Everything was taken care of, just that i had no freedom. They didn't mistreat me either. " assured Eun Soo, recounting how she was kidnapped.

" That's good. " announced Choi Young.

" I wonder how the King is..." said Eun Soo.

" Don't worry, I think he will be fine, with Queen Nogoog and Lady Choi with him. Eun Soo, wait for me, I will return for you. Even if I don't, I will send people to save you from this place. I will have to go against Gi Chul, so just continue beating it for a few more days. " explained Choi Young.

" Thank you Choi Young. I will wait for you. "

Back at the palace, the royal physicians just attended to the King.

" How is the King? " asked Queen Nogoog. She was extremely concerned when the King had went extremely cold and almost limp. King Gongnim was still very pale and unconscious. Queen Nogoog was so worried that her hands can't stop trembling. If anything were to happen to King Gongnim, it would be hard for Queen Nogoog to move on and lead a normal life.

" Please rest assure that the King is fine, your highness. The fact that he is still cold is because his core body temperature is warming up slowly and the whole body needs time to regain heat. His neck is still a little swollen from the freezing just now, but the swelling would reduce over the next few days. So the King is safe and fine." reported one of the royal physicians. Everyone could be heard letting out a huge sigh of relief. Lady Choi left with the royal physicians and other soldiers. The King and Queen were left together in the room.

Queen Nogoog held King Gongnim's hand from under the blanket. The King didn't respond to it.

" Your majesty, please get well soon! The country and everyone still needs you! " pleaded the Queen. Tears flowed down from her eyes, and she used her sleeves to wipe her tears away.

" Dont cry, my queen. " The Queen heard someone muttered. She stared closely at the King who was gradually regaining consciousness. King Gongnim offered a weak smile at the Queen. He tried to sit up and the Queen helped him. Feeling the pain of his swollen neck, King Gongnim pressed his hand against his neck as he straightened his back.

" That Choi Ying, he is really hopeless. I didn't expect him to plot an attack against me with Gi Chul. If not for the fact that our soldiers were strong enough and the Woodlachi were quick, we might have died in their ruthless hands. " said the King angrily.

" Your Majesty, how could you say so? If not for Choi Yong, you might be seriously injured. He saved you from Gi Chul's sword..." Before the Queen could finish her sentence, the King interrupted her speech.

" Wrong! It was all an act. They must have planned all these beforehand! " insisted King Gongnim.

" Your majesty, if it is as what you say, all planned beforehand, then why would Choi Young want to put his own life at risk? No one would what to risk their own lives or put themselves in danger! " explained Queen Nogoog.

" Then what about the Woodalchi? Didn't you tell me that Choi Young wrote to you, informing you to place more emphasis on the protection of the Woodalchi? " asked King Gongnim, still insisting that his point was right.

" Gi Chul must have tricked him. Why won't you support and believe in Choi Young? All along, he has put in his heart and soul in protecting you. Till the end, I believe he would be loyal to you! " argued Queen Nogoog.

" Choi Young, Choi Young, Choi Young! He is the reason for everything that is happening now! What evidence do you hold? " The King got too agitated that he became breathless.

" Alright.. Your majesty, please calm down, we should stop arguing about it." said the Queen. The king coughed a few times, looking into the eyes of his Queen and uttered nothing. Deep in the Queen's mind, she thought, " How is Choi Young now? "

The next morning, Gi Chul visited Choi Young who was in his room with Eun Soo. Eun Ja and Soo In followed behind.

" I see that you can sit up now, that means you are fine! " exclaimed Gi Chul.

" Then that lady can return to her room! Haha" added Soo In.

" No, he can't move too much yet or else his wound would reopen. I need to stay by his side till he recovers and that was what you have promised me, Gi Chul! " explained Eun Soo, as she was worried that she would never be able to see Choi Young again.

" Pull her away and lock her back into the room! " ordered Gi Chul. Eun Soo waved her arms frantically, trying to escape from Soo In's tight grip. Choi Young got up wanting to pull Soo In away, but was pinned down easily by Gi Chul.

" Where do you want to go? It was so easy to pin you down. Remember, now I am more powerful than you, you can't exert any strength. If you betray me, I won't hesitate to end your life! " threatened Gi Chul.

Choi Young tried to reach for his sword at the corner of his room, but Eun Ja blocked him from doing so. Choi Young was once again threatened and controlled by Gi Chul. He stared at Eun Soo and Eun Soo caught his gaze. She understood that he was trying to tell her to wait for him, he would definitely come back.

Choi Young spent the day in his room, thinking of how to save Eun Soo and not harm the King at the same time. Dae Man secretly entered Choi Young's room after Choi Young called for him. Choi Young was ready to give instructions to Dae Man and tell him his plan
