Waking up in the morning, Lucia remembered that Jin was staying at her house. She rushed out of his room to meet Jin, apparently he was no longer at her house. You can see the sofa is empty except for messy pillows and blankets. Lucia cleaned up all the mess in the living room, she also washed the mug that Jin used last night to drink hot chocolate. Looking at the mug, she smiled a little remembering that Jin was a cute guy. Lucia felt like she had a new friend that she wasn't that close to... but she remembered Prince Hoseok again, she thought about Prince Hoseok's current condition. Lucia wanted to meet him but King Egendria made her remember that she couldn't expect that. In Egevila land, with conditions improving, people are seen returning to their activities likewise Lucia has a routine of giving harvested strawberries to her grandparents.
At Hoseok's palace..
Hoseok was seen eating breakfast with a gloomy face, Hoseok's father hated it and hit the dining table hard.
"Is that the face you present to your parents in the morning? You rude child!" Hoseok's father scold him
"Honey.. come on, stop scolding him.. he's not in a good condition. Try to understand what your child is feeling." Hoseok's mom replied
"What? Are you defending his disrespectful behavior? Look at the consequences of him being friends with a village girl."
Hoseok became even more furious as his hands clenched into fists.
"She's not! Stop underestimate her!" Hoseok replied
He left the dining table to return to his room, he also closed the door loudly. Hoseok no longer feels too much pain and is getting better. Hoseok was stubborn and wanted to plan to escape from the palace. He wanted to meet Lucia because he really missed her.
Meanwhile in Seokjin's room...
Jin was busy preparing to kidnap Lucia tonight. Smirking, he couldn't wait to have Lucia completely and no one to disturb the two of them.
"Lucia, you have to know that you are the second most important thing after my parents. I will do anything for the person I love most." Jin spoke to himself
"So... where is my white dove?"
Jin's white dove came over to him and landed on his hand.
"You know what you have to do tonight, right?" He spoke to the white dove while petting it.
At Lucia's grandfather's house...
"Lucia, can you go to Mr. Sam's house today? Grandpa wants to ask for help."
"What is it grandpa?" Lucia replied
"Mr. Sam is Grandpa's friend, he was kind.. he give us a horse. Please visit him, you should leave this afternoon... the place is quite far and explore the forest. Are you able to do it?"
"Don't worry grandpa, I'll be fine... I'm more worried if grandpa has to go there alone. So just leave it to me." Lucia replied
"Alright then thank you, Grandpa will take care of the cow's milk which is ready to be sent."
In the afternoon, Lucia walked through the forest full of fallen leaves alone. She did not notice the dove flying after her, when she arrived at Mr. Sam's house in the evening, Lucia felt thirsty... she tried knocking on Mr. Sam's door.
"Hello? Mr. Sam.. I have come to take your horse."
The house looked so quiet, when she was about to leave she saw a piece of note paper which says...
'For Lucia, when you arrive you can go next door to my house and get the key to the fence to take your horse. The key is in a small pot of soil near the fence, please return it to its original place after you finished. Please forgive Mr. Sam, because there is a sudden matter at a port. One more thing, if you feel thirsty you can come into my house to get a drink'
"Oh... that's why.. alright thank you Mr. Sam." She talks to herself
Lucia hurried to open the fence, then she brought the horse out. She prepared the horse to ride home while stroking the horse.
"I'm lucky to have you, now I can go home without feeling tired. Maybe I can get home faster, it's better if I accept Mr. Sam's offer to drink at his house or not?" Smiling spoke to the horse
Without Lucia realizing it, there was someone watching from behind. That's right, he was Seokjin who managed to find Lucia with a horse and help from dove.
"There you are.. my beautiful girl.." Seokjin smirks
Jin watched you while looking at you with the horse. He heard what you said.
Not long after, Jin got off his horse and ran in and broke into Mr. Sam's back door, he entered and saw the kitchen. He deliberately provided drinking water for Lucia as if Mr. Sam had prepared it for her. Seokjin prepared drinking water while pouring sleeping drug. Then he hid behind a small storage door close to the kitchen and back door after he heard the sound of the front door opening. He saw Lucia approaching the kitchen and her eyes fell on the water provided by Seokjin. Without hesitation, Lucia drank the water until it glass was empty. She turned around and Seokjin rushed over to Lucia, Jin covered Lucia's mouth from behind he also hugged Lucia tightly so she wouldn't run. Jin pulled her out through the back door. Lucia could only scream in a muffled voice because the man covered her mouth.
"Mmmhh!!"
"Stopp!!"
"Who are you, what are you doing!" Lucia felt scared
She felt that the man was wearing a black robe. Such a big and strong body, she couldn't fight against the man. Suddenly Lucia's breathing became so heavy that she felt tired of fighting the man, her vision began to blurry. Soon she grew limp and closed her eyes.
Seokjin felt Lucia's body getting weaker, he knew that the effects of the sleeping drug were working. He carried Lucia and then rode his horse towards Eldthigas Land. Arriving there he told the servant not to allow anyone to enter this palace, he carried Lucia to the room he had prepared then Jin placed Lucia's weak body on the soft bed. Jin tied her hands and feet, after that he cover Lucia with a blanket. Jin came out and locked Lucia's room.
At Hoseok's palace...
Hoseok doesn't leave the room for lunch and dinner, he was annoyed with his father's behavior. The servant had tried to knock on the prince's door to tell him to eat, but the prince did not answer anything. He was busy writing down the plans he had to make to escape from the palace. Then he heard his mother's voice knocking on his bedroom door.
Hoseok opened the door for his mother, his mother begged his son to eat even just a little. Hoseok's mother tried to calm him down while comforting him.
"Thank you Mother, I don't know what if mother behaved the same way as father."
Hoseok's mother just looked at Hoseok's face sadly.
At Seokjin's palace in Eldthigas Land...
Seokjin looks like he has taken off his robe and mask. Without hesitation he lay down on the bed where Lucia was sleeping, he stroked Lucia's hair while admiring her beautiful face while she slept.
"Finally... you know how happy I am to be with you now, in the same palace. Soon, I will marry you."
Jin didn't feel the sleepiness that made him want to sleep, he continued beside Lucia who was sleeping while watching her without getting bored. Only feelings of happiness emerged in Seokjin's heart, he does anything for the people he loves such as for his parents. Jin remembered that he had Lucia in his arms, his parents also had to get revenge which he had to take on the man who had killed his parents while looking at the photo of his parents, he put it back in the drawer in Lucia's room.
