Dhara hugged Sulli tightly.

“I have longed to see you, my dear little sister.” Said Dhara.

“I am happy to see you too, sister.” Said Sulli

Dhara pulled back.

“You have really grown up to be lady now. The last time I saw you…you have just learned to call me Sister… I can’t believe this day has finally arrived.” Said Dhara “Father…on his deathbed has always mentioned you…asking me that when I see you…to tell you how he regrets not being with you…he regrets sending you out there.” Said Dhara

“Father…did a lot of sacrifices for Zaruum.” Said Sulli

Dhara nodded while tears fall from her eyes.

Sulli wiped the tears from her own eyes.  “We have made you wait too long, sister.” Said Sulli

“You’re just in time.” Said Dhara

“We need to proceed with the call as soon as possible.” Said the Seer. “It has been 4 months since the first call was made. The attack is coming.”

“Sulli is tired. I’m sure the entire Circle is tired.” said Dhara

Sulli looked at the circle. Indeed…they look exhausted.

Sulli felt  the sudden  pain in her chest and held it. But the pain was so forceful that Sulli’s knee gave way. Minho was instantly beside Sulli catching her before she fell.

“We have  been travelling the whole day, You need to rest.” Said Minho

Dhara looked at Minho. Her longing for him is near what she feels for Sulli…But Why does Minho have that intense worry in his eyes as he looked at Sulli?

Dhara held Sulli’s hand. “If not for Zaruum’s situation, I would have given a feast for your return.” Said Dhara

“It’s all right sister…We can celebrate once we find the next bloodline.” Said Sulli

Dhara nodded.

Dhara led the Circle to the garden.

“Wow…there are a lot of Knights.” Said Luhan while looking at the field.

“Yes…we are getting ready…we know the battle…is coming.” Said Dhara

Luhan gulped. There’s no escaping the truth.

Sulli felt the pain again and she leaned on the wall. The circle walked on. Sulli closed her eyes as she battled the pain.

“It’s the core isn’t it?”

Sulli opened her eyes and saw Minho in front of her.

“Yes.” Said Sulli holding her chest.

Minho pulled Sulli to him enveloping her into his arms.

“I wish I can take the pain.” Said Minho

“I won’t allow that.” Said Sulli

Minho smiled. “I know you won’t…but still…if I can take the pain away from you…I will.” Said Minho

Chanyeol turned back when he felt Sulli is missing. And then he saw Minho hugging Sulli. Sulli’s head is leaning on Minho’s chest as if she…as if she belongs there…

Chanyeol turned back, he doesn’t want to see it…But when Chanyeol turned…he saw Princess Dhara…looking at Sulli and Minho her eyes looking all confused and….hurt?
