Seol is left shaking, the world shrinking around her. When she's detached from Seo, the enormity of what she had done - caused or allowed to happen presses her from all sides. The court is slowly getting dispersed, yet Seo remains kneeling. Blood grip from the sword he holds creating ominous pools in front of him. The dead man lies in a pool of his own blood - Seol averts her eyes from the sight of his glaringly empty eyes as the contents of her stomach begins to churn.
Grand prince Anjong is the last to leave. He waits at the door and calls her.
"Seolie - come with me."
Seol hesitates, turning her eyes on Seo who remains staring at the pool of blood and Seol is afraid of what his honesty might make him do. Last of Yong's attendants removes scrolls littered on his low table and leaves. Seol finds her father's eyes upon her.
