Kibum’s eyes widened in fear as Seunghyun loomed over him. The Crown Prince set on his leg”W-what are you…”

“We have to get these arrows out before they become infected, clean the wounds from the mud and debris”Seunghyun said cutting off Kibum.

Leeteuk backed off a foot or two. He watched as Seunghyun helped the doctors. He was too distracted by one of his sons being injured while the other one ran out to find his father...Leeteuk felt helpless.

“Prince Seunghyun”

“Yes”Seunghyun said, his head snapping toward the door”Any word about Prince Yesung and His Majesty?”

“I’ve received word that they are safe but Yesung...has ordered us not to leave the palace for safety precautions”The guard said”Their group are all safe, His Majesty only has minor injuries. They are residing at a residence the Crown Prince’s personal guard found”
