"Don't touch me, I won't marry you!" Stephanie said to the king

"Oh, believe me... You will." Charles sneered

"Taeyeon will come to you and your reign will end." The elite woman was struggling to break free from the hold of the two king's men

"Once that Kim Taeyeon stepped on my land, I shall kill that doctor with my own sword."

"You're a monster!"

"Yes, a very powerful monster." Charles had spoken "Men, take Lady Hwang into the prison cell. Make sure she will never get out of the castle." he ordered

"Yes, sire" the king's men bowed and took the elite woman to the prison cell which was located to the highest tower of the castle.

'God, have mercy upon your people.' the elite woman prayed as she was left alone on her cell

The sailors docked on the cave beside the island and hid their ship there.

"We only have twelve suits with us." Taeyeon said worriedly "What a dozen of men can do to a hundred king's men?" she asked

"A dozen of intelligent men is enough to overpower a hundred of stupid king's men." Jessica supposed “All we have to do is to pretend we are king's men and help Stephanie escape by taking her with us. “She added "but the only problem we've got is, how can we find her in the palace?"

"I might know where they took her. I was once taken to the palace and put in the highest part of the tower by Charles' king's men." Sooyoung assumed

"Can you remember the way there?" Taeyeon asked

"I do... but it's risky. The security upon the vicinity is high. The only escape that a prison could do is jumping on the tower window... suicide as we may say." Sooyoung said

"We'll pretend that Charles' sent us to guard the area." Jessica said

"And how can we take out Stephanie without her being seen?" Sooyoung asked

"This is complicated." Taeyeon put her hands on his face in frustration

"Taeyeon, the least you can do now is to be positive." Jessica adviced

"You're right, we'll figure it out." Taeyeon said "Mr. Twain, please guard the ship for us. If anything happens, make sure that the workers will be safe." Taeyeon said

"I will doctor Kim. If anything happens, I'll make sure to call for some help." Mr. Twain replied

"Thank you Mr. Twain...Looks like we've got a lot to do." Taeyeon said "Where should we start?"

"Let's start that by wearing these suits and making our way to the palace." Jessica said

The twelve sailors pretended to be king's men and made their way up to the castle. Everything was going so well until a king's man noticed them

"Halt!"

The crews stopped walking and Taeyeon , Sooyoung and Jessica threw glances with each other.

"Are you all new recruits? I have not seen you around here before." The king's man stopped them

"Yes, we just came yesterday." Taeyeon said

"For a king's man, you got a soft voice." the king's man noticed

Taeyeon cleared and spoken "The voyage was long, catching colds is inevitable." she reasoned

"Where are your troops heading?" the king's man questioned

"We were sent to guard the new captive's prison cell on the tower." Jessica said

"The King ordered Marius troop to do that."

"Well, Marius ordered us to guard the area." Jessica made an alibi

“I’ll ask Marius about this.”

"No need for that, here is the scroll of order." Sooyoung said as she handed a scroll to the king's man. Taeyeon and Jessica looked at each other in confusion. It was indeed the scroll of order to guard the area. The king's man read it and was satisfied.

"Very well, make sure that the queen won't get away." the king's man said and left them. The crews was so nervous and tried to catch their breaths.

‘The queen?’ Taeyeon thought to herself

"Where did you get that scroll Sooyoung" Taeyeon whispered

"I stole it from the king's man that greeted us in the entrance of the palace. I knew he is the leader of the king's man so I assumed the scroll was within him and I was right." Sooyoung said softly

"Good thing you weren't caught! You'll die if you were caught." Jessica said worriedly

"Don't worry, I used to steal for living so I am very good at that." Sooyoung assured her

"Let's proceed." Taeyeon said

When they reached the highest tower, they saw a man yelling at the prisoner elite woman.

"I SAID EAT THE FOOD I GAVE YOU!" the king's man yelled at the woman

"No, I'd rather die!" the elite woman said and she was about to be hit by the king's man but Taeyeon immediately yelled to stop it

"What are you doing?" Taeyeon asked sternly to the king's man

"She wouldn't eat... King Charles' ordered me to feed the queen." the king's man said

"The queen?" Sooyoung asked

"Yes, Lady Hwang was chosen by King Charles as his new queen." the king's man said

'Oh, no.' Taeyeon thought to herself as Sooyoung and Jessica flinched when they heard the unfortunate news too.

"Is that how you treat the queen?" Taeyeon asked eyes looking at the elite woman sitting on the ground with her legs covering her face,

"W-Well..."

"Go out. Marius ordered us to guard the tower. Leave before I tell what you've done to the king." Taeyeon said holding back her anger

"O-Okay." the king's man took his leave

"Secure the outside area.” Taeyeon told to her crew

"Yes, doctor."

Taeyeon approached Stephanie who was silently sobbing with her face hidden still on her legs.

"Hey..." Taeyeon kneel down and touched the latter's shoulder

"Go away! Don't touch me!" Stephanie yelled

"It's me, Taeyeon."

“Taeyeon?”

The elite woman looked up and s
