"That habit of yours has come back again, hasn't it?"

"Pardon?" Shinyoung made a clueless face at her brother's words. She was busy sketching again when the King made a sudden visit. "You're sneaking out again. This time, you won't even tell me." Seungkwan said as he sat next to her on the railing. Shinyoung grinned sheepishly. It wasn't because she didn't want to, it was just that she always seemed to be in a rush every time she needed to sneak out.

"So, have you discovered anything yet?" Seungkwan asked after rolling his eyes at her sheepish smile. She was literally grinning like an idiot. The whole time he found out she was out of the castle without his knowings, he was worried. He was afraid that she might be in danger as the knights now know that she knew their secret. She was putting herself in danger by letting them know that.

However, Seungkwan also knew that his sister was a brave and smart girl. She might seemed like a coward at certain things, but that was normal because she's a female. She was great at archery and she was also very alert of her surroundings although her combat skills were weak. So, he decided to trust her and not worry much about her as she wouldn't want it.

"Seungcheol is a Beta."

"I'm not surprised." Seungkwan commented, almost chuckling. It amused him how absurd everything they actually gathered. They knew nothing about any of this before and now one by one came and it was all nonsense for them. It was surreal. They never imagined their lives would be like this, their families were at stake. How preposterous.

"Why not?" Shinyoung tilted her head. "From all the things you've told me, it made sense that he's a Beta." Seungkwan reasoned. "The photo, especially." He added and Shinyoung immediately pictured the photo in her head. His birthmark, she thought. She had her suspicion towards him ever since she caught that birthmark on his neck, it was identical.

However, it reminded her of something else. There were four person in the photo. One was him, then his parents and another boy. Younger than him. Who was the boy? A younger brother? Where is he now? A sudden feeling of despondent gushed through her. She was hoping that her sorrow assumption of what happened to his brother wasn't true.

Shinyoung then thought of an idea. There was a way to find out about this other than asking Seungcheol. She knew how much of a risk it would be if she asked Seungcheol personally. He might get furious about the topic and he would find out that Junghan and the others are alive. Not to mention the fact that Junghan and him might probably get into a fight if
