CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR

princess hung-ok kept on crying for help, knowing it would be different for people to hear her,her cry falling into deaf ears, suddenly she could hear voices of two people a male and female as they made giggling sounds, probably two lovers who escaped to noises of the crowds to whisper sweet nothing into each other's ears , having hope hung-ok banged on the door harder.

"your highness",

"what happened?",

"are you okay?",

"how come you are trapped in here?",

the workers kept on asking numerous questions, which hung-ok had no time to answer, kim soo-ra and hung-ae where also there

"your highness are you okay?"

hung-ae asks while Kim Soo-ra ordered some of the workers to go back to the event , pretending nothing happened,this must not get to the hands of the reporters that is not before threatening them to keep their mouths shot.

hung-ok mind suddenly returning to why she wanted to leave the room at all costs

"Soo-ra where is Chang min?, have you seen him around?"

hung-ok asks not hiding the fear and concern in her voice, that was when hung-ae remembered

"yes your highness,I saw him probably an hour ago,he told me he needed to meet up with you outside the palace that something felt wrong"

"me ,where , please tell me where he was going",

hung-ok begged in panic ,which after hung-ae told hung-ok the address, hung-ok ran out,with few of her loyal guards with her,hung-ae and Kim Soo-ra were not left out,they all wondering what made the princess behave like this,the assistant head guard in toll.

from afar they could see hoodlums around the abandoned Warehouse,this hoodlums with gun

"your highness,what should we do?",

the assistant guard asks

"shoot,I give you the permission to shoot them down"

and on command the guards began to fire back,the sounds of bullets as they hit their marks everywhere.

"Chang min, right?, you have messed with the wrong person,look at you,all tied up and you are still behaving nonchalantly,look at you, getting tied up just because you want to save the princess, you didn't even know when you where drugged",

the man seating beside him saying

Chang min said nothing but kept on giving his corny smile which made the man who looks in charge More angry, the drugs in Chang min system not fully worn off yet

"well you have got the chance to say your last word,man cause this will be the last time you breathe",

the person driving the car says to Chang min looking though the review mirror,

Chang min was tieds down in the back seat,they had just left the warehouse which they held him captive and he knew what they are up to,they probably wanted to stage his death, they drove the car which he brought over and one thing he was very sure of is the fact that they wanted him dead,he heard them over talking the phone earlier with the person he was sure wanted him dead when they didn't know he had regained consciousness,and now he tried fooling them, making them keep talking while he secretly untied himself,seeing his first hand free, Chang min used his elbow to hit the man seating beside him in the nose,this gave him a bleeding nose, before the driver could turn to quick look at what was going on,his partner already knocked down beside Chang min, moving very fast Chang min from the backseat uses and to get ahold of the steering wheel using his left hand to drag his drown hair with an heavy blow the man's head landed on the steering wheel blood rushing out the drivers head ,the person beside Chang min mourns like he is in deep pain his eyes still closed,car already losing control, moving in speed the car then turns over down.

"where is he ,I thought you said we will be able to find him here ,so where is he?"

hung-ok looked like her emotions where so in place,but everyone knew she was not, for her expression looks to good to be true for such situation

"your highness,we promise to find him",

the assistant guard says giving orders to the rest, before turning to crown princess hung-ok, your highness,I. sure they haven't gone far, the blood stains are still fresh and the coffee dropped on that table barely cold,we need to go now,he says turning to leave ,but hung-ok stopped him

"I am coming with you"

"your highness it's not safe what if they are more than we imagined"

"he is right your highness , you must not get hurt"

hung-ae interfered but Kim Soo-ra knew better, princess hung-ok is too stubborn for that

"it's an order"

hung-ok says without baiting an eye or giving any thought to what they said walking off

"your highness,that looks like the car he took out this morning",

one of the guards said, picking up the walkie-talkie to inform the assistant guard

after the assistant guard was informed he informed the princess,the assistant guard sat beside the guard driving at the front seat, behind was princess hung-ok and Kim Soo-ra,hung-ae went with other cars

hung-ok was so afraid ,the next thing they head was the car blowing up into pieces as it caught on fire, hung-ok didn't wait for the car to stop before running out,kim Soo-ra behind her and the guards in toll,

"where is he?,where is he?"

the assistant guard asked one of the guards who informed him

"I saw him come out from afar but before I could come out of the car ,his car exploded"

the guard replied

not listening to their discussion hung-ok ran towards where the car fire was already begining to subdue

"your highness stop, you can't go there it's dangerous",

kim Soo-ra shouted Making the guards run over to stop hung-ok,tears falling down her face,

"let me go ,let me go right now,I order you"

the look on kim Soo-ra face making them know that under no circumstances must the princess run to the burning car

on seeing,they wouldn't let her go hung-ok sat down on the floor emotionless, barefooted.

"I have warned you several times try behaving like a princess,"

a weak voice said from behind hung-ok, the voice so familiar like herself,with tears still on her face she turned to see ,of she had just imagining things, raising her head up high,but it was not a dream, neither was it an imagination,there he stood,his hand stretched out to her,her Chang min

"and this is not how a princess is to behave a princess must,,,,,,,,,,,,,"

hung-ok was so happy that she ignores his lectures,not paying attention to the things he was saying but the man himself standing before her, not able to finish his words, the next thing he knew was hung-ok hugging him tightly,her hands folded around his neck, giving him kisses around his face as she sob bitterly all this while asking him loads of questions ,he himself had no answer to,Chang min felt her worry, and her fears,he wished he never put it there in the first place

"everyone is watching princess"

Chang min says

"I don't care"

"what if you kill me in the process,you are hugging me too tightly"

she quickly let go of him,still sobbing, hung-ok says

"I am sorry,I have forgotten you can hurt,I was just to happy to see you"

but all Chang min did was smile at her,like he was seeing her for the first time,that smile of his.
