Dara's Pov:

The king sighed and continued, “Jiyong left Gathik on his own and we will respect his wishes. We will not search for my nephew, Kwon Jiyong”

That's it..

That's pure bull...He loves this place and What? He needs time to accept his father!! I clearly heard Jiyong say that he wanted to give his father a chance.. He wanted to be with his father and his family! For s sake, whatever was written in that letter is pure horse manure...it's clearly not written by Ji..we cannot leave this matter like this..I looked at the boys and they felt the same about it.

“Bro-ther, giv-e me the le-tter”, stuttered our master almost in a whisper

The king hesitated.

“Please”, said our master. His voice was almost inaudible.

The king gave the letter to him and left with Lee Hi followed by Minzy. Our master took the letter with trembling hands. Everyone left the courtroom shortly after that, even Dae and Ri because Tae asked them to leave. Everyone left except for Tae, our master and me.

Our master broke down for the first time in front of us..

“He says that he cannot forgive me..He says that it's hard to forgive the person who killed his mother.” He was crying...my master was crying on his knees. ”He says he hates me..My baby boy hates me”

That's just Bull...It's just not right… I wanted to confront my master but I was again pulled back by Tae..I don't know for how long our master was on his knees but Tae and I stood there silently, for him. He wasn't ready to listen to anything..Later we left our master in his wing and walked towards our hangout room..

“Why don’t we check Ji’s room”, I suggested Tae.

“I already checked his room and found nothing.. No clues at all..It was crystal clean.. No one would be able to tell even if Jiyong was forced out of the room or he left on his own..” said Tae sighing audibly.

“Then...that letter...how…”

“I don’t know..Be quite we will talk later”

We reached our hangout area..it's in the highest part of the palace and is isolated almost all the time.. Dae and Ri were already waiting for us in the room and as soon as we settled in Tae spoke,

“We went to Ji’s room in the morning only to find Lee Hi and Minzy there. There was no sign of Jiyong. Lee Hi was crying while holding a piece of letter. When asked, she said she found it in his room and handed over the letter to the guards and asked for the king's presence...after that you know what happened”

“Poor girl, she cried her heart out when she found her Ji oppa left her. But do you really think he left us? ”, said Dae

“No Dae, he's definitely kidnapped”, I said firmly and the others eyed at me if I was sure

"I am positive. Believe me when I say he would have never left his family..at least not like this"

“If he is kidnapped then why the letter Noona.. Oh, there's something more...Jiyong couldn't have left Zoudea because I already alerted Jae Suk hyung about it..and he informed that no one has left our world recently, that means he is still in our world but we don't know where..”, Dae said in a defeated tone

“Somewhere ..someone seems very interested in Ji, but we don't know why”, I said

“Yeah...we need to be careful of everyone...Dara take some time off from the hospital..You should be in the palace and be suspicious of everyone..I repeat everyone..You cannot trust anybody, not anymore...We have to search for him otherwise we don’t know what might happen”, said Tae

“Don't worry Tae..I will be here…”

“Good ...I’m going to search neighboring palaces and ask for help…”

“Okay..”

“We'll come with you hyung”, said Dae and Ri in unison. Tae nodded at them.

“Remember...no one should know what we are doing..it should be done quietly” ,said Tae

“Yeah..old man..okay...arghh…”

“Okay...just try to be calm...we will find him…”

With that they left to find Jiyong's whereabouts. We all were worried about him but it's not the time to lose our … We have to be strong and find him as soon as possible.

It's been two days since Ji's disappearance and there's still no sign of him. No su
