As they walked through the camp, RM led them to a spacious tent on the other side. He opened the flap and gestured for Jimin and Jisoo to enter.

"Here, you can use this tent for the night," RM said.

Jimin and Jisoo looked at each other, unsure of what to do. They had never shared a tent before, let alone slept in the same one.

RM noticed their discomfort and chuckled. "Don't worry, it's big enough for the both of you. And there's even a divider in case you want some privacy."

Jimin forced a smile, trying to hide his nervousness. "Th-thank you, Your Majesty. We appreciate it."

Jisoo tried to lighten the mood. "It's like we're on a camping trip, right Jimin?" she said, nudging him playfully.

Jimin chuckled nervously, feeling the weight of the situation. He was in the presence of the king, and he couldn't afford to let his guard down.

RM noticed their awkwardness and decided to leave them to settle in. "Well, I'll leave you two to it. Rest well, and we'll talk more in the morning," he said, exiting the tent.

As the flap closed behind RM, Jimin and Jisoo looked at each other, unsure of what to say. The silence was deafening, and the tension in the air was palpable.

Jimin heard Karina's voice outside the tent and opened it. He looked back at Jisoo and she had fallen fast asleep on the bed. He would need to sleep on the floor instead. 

Karina stepped into the tent, her expression serious. "Jimin," she said, "I need to talk to you about something important."

Jimin nodded, his stomach in knots. He was also aware of Karina of the danger she posed as a skilled archer and loyal servant of the king.

"What is it?" he asked, trying to keep his voice steady.

Karina took a deep breath. "I know about your past with the sorceress," she said. "And I know about the moonflower." Karina handed him a charm. The talisman was shaped like a crescent moon, with delicate symbols etched into its surface. 

As Karina handed Jimin the magic charm, he couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity. The intricate design and shimmering gemstones were reminiscent of the protective charms he used to wear as a member of the royal guard.

"I left this behind when I left the palace," Jimin remarked, running his fingers over the cool metal surface. "I didn't think I would need it ever again."

Karina nodded solemnly. "The sorceress is a powerful adversary. We must be prepared for anything," she said, her voice low and urgent.

Jimin took a deep breath, feeling the weight of the situation. He had always known that the sorceress was a threat, but now it seemed that her power was growing stronger with each passing day.

"Thank you, Karina. I appreciate your help," Jimin said, giving her a small smile.

Karina's expression softened, and for a moment, Jimin could see the tenderness in her eyes. 

"I'll protect you, Jimin. No matter what happens," Karina said, her voice firm and resolute.

Jimin nodded, feeling a sense of comfort in her words. He knew that he could count on her, no matter what.

Karina's expression softened, and for a moment, Jimin could see the tenderness in her eyes. He had always thought of her as a little sister, but now he wondered if there was something more.

Jimin's mind raced with thoughts of the sorceress and the moonflower. He knew that the sorceress could use her power to overturn the Holy Realm and hurt his friend, Namjoon.

The sun had barely risen when Jimin began to pack up the campsite. Jisoo was still fast asleep, snoring softly in her bed. Jimin couldn't help but smile at the sight of her, her hair splayed out around her face. Jimin's body ached from sleeping on the bare ground. Karina approached him, looking a bit tired but ready to go.

"We should wake her up," Karina said, gesturing towards Jisoo.

Jimin shook his head. "Let her sleep a bit longer," he said. "We have a long journey ahead of us, and she could use the rest."

Karina nodded, understanding the need for rest. Together, they finished packing up the campsite and joined the rest of the guards.

Jisoo stretched her arms as she woke up to an empty tent. She quickly got dressed and stepped outside, looking around for any signs of Jimin and Karina. S
