The Fort

Jeon Mary's POV:

When we entered parking lot it was around 4:32 in the evening I heard my sister Min tae screaming "Finally!!!". I couldn't blame her it indeed took longer than usual to reach here.

Sashi got out of the car dancing. We started walking towards the front gate of Fort. It was 400 year old Fort but still in decent condition. The fort was located in between mountain and forest which I personally think increases it's beauty by 200%. It was build in a way that could protect one from enemies attack. We entered through huge wooden main door, the walls were made of rocks. The roof was having wooden carvin. The walls were having artistic paintings, there were potraits of royal family. One wall was having portraits of all the Kings of Min family. It was said that Min royals were once the most powerful people in the world, well the portraits were literally giving me that vibe. The chandelier was beautiful, I could imagine how beautiful it would've looked when there were thousands of candles burning in there. The whole view was ethreal. I was so much into the beauty of Fort I was about to forget about my sisters but then I heard.

"Min Sashi, Sounds great isn't it?"asked Sashi to Min tae.

"Where did you get this idea from?" asked Min tae.

"You know crown Prince was so hot" said Sashi.

"You dumbo atleast leave dead people alone" Said Min tae. 'Yup definitely they are here' I thought.

"There were two prince by the way" I added.

"Yes but one died..The crown prince" said Kari

"Yeah he's story is quite tragic nobody knows exactly what happened, every book is having different story" I said thinking about what could've actually happened.

"Do you know anything about it Sashi?" asked Kari.

"Nope why would I read history. I just know he was hot then he died" said Sashi.

"I heard he had a sad love story" Said Kari.

"Yeah me too", I replied absent mindedly.

We entered crown prince's room and saw the giant portrait at the wall.

"He is good looking." said Min tae first thing in a while.

"Hell yeah. I'm completely sure he is having abs under that princely clothing. I wish I could see his picture instead of portrait." said Sashi with having heart in her eyes.

"Why don't you meet him in person" said Min tae.

"But he's dead and I'm alive" said Sashi absent mindedly, still staring at the portrait.

"I can help you with that" replied Min tae holding Sashi's neck from behind.

"OK enough you both... I.." I was about to scold them, when heard Kari.

"What is this?" asked Kari in confused voice pointing at a sketch.

"She looks a bit like you" she continued, pointing towards Min tae.

"What? Really?" said Sashi turning towards Min tae "Cheater.."

"Go away. This is absurd... I mean face cut is similar but so many people have similar face cut.. And it's 400 year old" said Min tae while observing the sketch.

"It does look like you but it doesn't make sense. I mean who is she?" I asked knowing nobody knows the answer.

"That is the girl's sketch that prince loved" said caretaker.

"Wow who is she?" asked Sashi without even looking at sketch.

"Nobody knows" replied caretaker.

'They might be knowing I mean it is in the Fort somebody from fort has made it for prince" explained Kari.

"Prince made it" said Caretaker and continued "She was a commoner, nobody knew about her until prince showed interest and nobody knows where did she went, what happened to her."

"What??? You mean she just vanished into thin air" asked Sashi out of curiosity.

"She and her sisters. She lived there with her mother and sisters. Some people say Royals were against it but after she rejected prince they became vengeful and beheaded all of them except for mother" the caretaker said in a low voice so that only we can hear.

"All of them? what about prince? he didn't do anything to save them?" asked Min tae curiously.

"No he couldn't. But nobody knows the truth, these are just stories which we have heard from our ancestors". said Caretaker and left.

We were still there shook. Time passed as we were discussing the story and roaming in the Fort. As one Caretaker came and said "Ma'am it is time for closing the fort for visitor". At that time we realised we really spent whole time gossiping. "Thank you, goodbye" we said before leaving the castle.

We were still talking about the stories of Min family as we were walking towards the parking lot. As we entered the parking lot there was no car to be found. Then and there we realised....

"OUR DRIVER LEFT US".....
