"Hey, Minghao?"

The named boy raised a brow and looked next to him as his friend called for him. "Is Seungcheol alright? He seemed bothered ever since the two of you returned from town yesterday with the Princess." Chan asked on behalf of the other four knights, including himself. All of them were curious of what had happen when they noticed the eldest was acting strangely.

At first Mingyu tried to ask Seungcheol, however the male seemed to be avoiding his question instead and the younger one gave up trying. So, today they tried an easier target, the younger and yet the most ingenuous one.

"I'm afraid you have to ask Seungcheol himself," Minghao politely answered with a smile. "The truth is, I don't even know what's wrong with him." he added and in a split second three other knights appeared out of a sudden from behind the bushes. "What do you mean?" the three asked simultaneously. Minghao stared at them confusingly.

"The Princess dropped her bow on her second shot at an archery game yesterday, she was trembling and she ran out of the arena.

"Uh, Mingyu tell him." Soonyoung pushed the tallest in front of Seungcheol out of the blue.

"Why me? You were the one who wanted to know the most." Mingyu defended himself and shoved Soonyoung to the leader instead. The eldest remained a confuse expression as he didn't know what was going on.

"Just tell me already." Seungcheol sighed when all five were fighting with each other instead of just telling the truth or what ever curiousity that was bothering them. The five stopped fighting and stared at him for a while before forming a circle and discussed between them. He rolled his eyes at their childishness.

Finally, after minutes of waiting one of them stepped forward, Mingyu. "You have to promise that you will tell the truth." he declared and Seungcheol made a face, do they take him as a child? He opened his mouth to say something sarcastic but the taller male cut his words first, "Promi
