Bogsu walked to the wine vases on the ground on and lifted them in order to fill the wine bottle in her hands.
"So, do you mind letting me in on your conversation." Bogsu sneered at the people who were frozen on their seats .
"Bogsu, you are back." Lin Wei said entering the court yard with a tray containing a kettle and some cups that faced downwards .
Hearing another person voice caused Chen Jihyun and Song Minhyun to snap out of their daze and they both stood up in a frenzy.
"We just remembered we have something important to do." Chen Jihyun said dragging Song Minhyun with him as the left in a hurry going into the bamboo forest.
"Won't you show them out you know there are beasts In the forest right, you would be held responsible by his Royal Majesty if anything happens to them." Lin lectured.
"Let them get frightened for a bit, it only interests me then, besides you seem to be butting into my business lately." Bogsu retorted at him.
"I'm doing this for your own good." Lin Wei sighed, "You will need allies for your mission not new enemies." He continued on.
"I don't need anybody, I can take care of everything myself." Bogsu hissed slightly annoyed.
"You can't...." Lin Wei was interrupted by a piercing scream that came of the forest.
"That's seems to be Song Minhyun, let me get going before they become beast food." Bogsu said walking into the forest like it wasn't a person's life in danger.
On getting there, the sight made Bogsu release a chuckle, it was a huge white tiger towering over them while baring it's fangs at them, Chen Jihyun was the only conscious one while Song Minhyun seemed to have fainted.
Traces of claws was visible on their clothes, seeing Bogsu, Chen Jihyun couldn't help but look at her with a pleading gaze on his face.
"Alice!" Bogsu called causing the tiger to wag it's tail happily bringing out it's tongue, compared to the ferocious beast seen now it looked like an obedient little dog to the awe of Chen Jihyun.
"How many times have I told you to stop attacking strangers." Bogsu scolded causing Alice to whimper before turning over to glare at the man and woman on the ground as if telling them "it's you meats that made my master scold me." "You did well." Bogsu whispered into Alice ears which caused the tiger's eyes to widen in realization making it look smugly at the pair on the floor.
Bogsu knocked Chen Jihyun out then allowed Alice to hook Chen Jihyun and Song Minhyun clothes in her teeth before she climbed the back of the tiger.
Bogsu looked up to see the piercing sun rays shining down, and the bamboo forest, she looked around once more in amazement these people went to the eastern part of the forest which was quite far from where they were did they run, she thought.
Bogsu gave Alice the signal to go ahead and as they moved a pleasing figure of a beautiful lady wearing red riding a white tiger was brought to sight but if one takes a closer look you would see a couple that was being dragged on the ground spoiling the beautiful scene.
Both Chen Jihyun and Song Minhyun woke up in the carriage their first reaction was to think it was a dream but their torn clothes told them the truth and reality.
Song Minhyun wore her veil back before heading to her carriage that has been parked there ordering the steward to drive her back to her palace.
The steward casted a curious glance at Song Minhyun clothes wondering what could have occurred in the bamboo forest making her mistress look like this.
The steward kicked the waiting horse that in turn reacted by moving pushing the carriage forward.
On getting to her palace Song Minhyun had ordered the maids right from the gate to prepare a new set of robe and a hot bath for her.
She took her anger out on any maid that did a little mistake even as little as not knocking the room door before entering when the door was widely open.
"Mother!!" Han jiwoo called out worriedly entering his mother's room anxiously.
He was stunned to see the state of his mother, "Mother, I heard from the maids that you were hurt, but I did not expect it to be this bad." Han jiwoo said worried for his mother condition.
Han jiwoo tried to reach out to her from where he stood but Song Minhyun slapped his hands off her before pushing him off her making Han Jiwoo knock over the tea table that stood at the side of Song Minhyun.
"You vagabond, this is all your fault, if you are not so useless, that Commoner wouldn't have had the chance to humiliate me today." Song Minhyun yelled angrily at Han jiwoo.
Hearing the word commoner made Han Jiwoo realize who his mother was talking about almost immediately, "i'm sorry Mother, it's all my fault." Han jiwoo kowtowed to the ground repeatedly but his mother only sneered at him.
"If you want to apologize you have to do more than that, don't forget that you allowed me to lose face by not winning the match yesterday." Song Minhyun added looking at her son that buried his heads to the ground she soon stood up from her chair pushing it to the ground and looked round the courtyard scanning every maids face.
"Who is meant to prepare my bath," Song Minhyun yelled at them "or do like seeing me like this." She added looking like a deranged person.
Then a maid came in through the door made of net and wood "Your bath is already prepared your Highness." a maid said warily afraid of annoying Song Minhyun.
"What took you so long!!" Song Minhyun yelled and took a ceramic teapot that was on the floor where the crown prince kneeled as he had knocked over earlier.
Song Minhyun hurled the teapot at the maid only for it to land in front of an exquisite pair of clothe shoes.
"What is the meaning of this woman?" Han Jisung demanded looking at the scattered teapot on the floor that would have hit him badly if he was a second earlier and his son who was kneeling to the ground with a bleeding forehead.
Han Jisung glared at Song Minhyun demanding an explanation.
