Min-Young took a pair of scissors and cut her hair into shoulder length hair days before she left the cabin and didn't plan on returning. Lee had gotten them both horses, and they had rode out to the castle to aim to be there on time for Namjoon's execution.
"You ready for this?" Lee asked her. "Namjoon is going to be so annoyed at the fact you're jumping into arms death to save him."
"Yeah, he might be." Min-Young grinned. "But at least he'll be alive." Lee shrugged in agreement.
"See you around." He nodded towards her and as he came up to the main path to the castle Min-Young veered off the path. She had something to collect before she showed herself to the Red Queen and to Namjoon and her family that she hadn't seen in so long-
Lee passed by easily, from what everyone knew, Alice only had a daughter. He dismounted his horse, tying him up at the local stable before heading inside the castle and to the courtyard. He scanned the crowd and found Seokjin and the rest of the boys sat in a row together.
