Before walking back to home Na-ra thought why don't she look at the market once and as she seemed to look at the various beautiful things that were sold in the market and an Norigae ( A typical korean Accessory used in hanbok) piqued the attention of the girl.

It was cherry blossom design which made her eye caught in it at first glance . She looked down more close into that and touched the cherry blossom design by observing it further.

" Young-hee, what do you think of this? "

Na-ra asked for the girl's opinion , eyes filling with excitement .

" I think it suits you the best! "

Younghee exclaimed observing the excitement  in the girl's eyes. Na-ra glanced at younghee and back at the Norigae however suddenly in an second her head started to ache like there was a knife carving inside her head. She inclined her body in the sudden pain, it felt like all her blood vessels in her brain started rush faster . Seeing her state younghee's eyes widen in shock and tried to calm her.

Na-ra always seemed have this kind of pain lately which no one knew how to stop it but just like it came it seemed go just like that everytime. However this time it took some more long seconds to disappear than last, The sudden pain gone like it never happened and Na-ra straightened up her posture the next second like nothing really happened.

" Young lady, are you okay?? "

Younghee asked with concern flowing in her words as she wiped the sweat that formed in Na-ra's temple.

" Of course I'm alright.. "

Na-ra assured younghee with a slight smile clearly knowing that it wasn't but she knew nothing ever good will come from making the girl worry, but the next second younghee's eyes widened by staring at Na-ra in a shocked and terrified look which made Na-ra confuse .

" Youn-young Lady, bl-blood..."

Younghee pointed at Na-ra's nose with a terrified look as Na-ra slowly touched the blood that came from her nose. It wasn't that much of a blood but it was terrifying without knowing the cause ..

Na-ra looked at the blood in her hands and looked over her surroundings,

everyone was in a busy so one really noticed regardless the shopkeeper that she intend to shop from seemed like she saw everything and Na-ra could see there was a slight concern. So Na-ra started to laugh which made younghee confuse by her act.

" Ah i think... I studied last night too much than I should.. "

Na-ra exclaimed with a laugh by looking at the shopkeeper and surprisingly the shopkeeper believed in her statement and smiled at her widely.

Then the girl glanced back to younghee who was confused and Na-ra gave a look only then she understood it, Everyone in daeho knew her for jang family's heir, the flower of Daeho and most importantly the one who's going to be the betrothed of the crown prince so every move she made was her future.

Seeing her condition younghee gave a kerchief white as an lilly getting stained by the blood .

Without any more seconds staying in that place Na-ra turned to return back to the jang household but suddenly the shopkeeper Lady spoke.

" The mages of songrim is seem to be here."

Just as Na-ra heard the Lady as she turned to her side to look who is the mages the shopkeeper is talking about and just when she turned , she saw a face which she never wanted to see at the moment.

" Young master seo-yul seems to be here with the other mages.."

Younghee informed more like a whisper
to Na-ra knowing how much influence this is going to be for her .

Seo-yul seemed to looking straight at the path as walks regardless suddenly he collided his eyes with another which made him stop on his tracks. Na-ra looked at him as he looked at her for a few seconds but after a second she glanced back to younghee .

" Let's go. "

Na-ra ordered with a cold aura taking over her as she tried to walk past him however a sudden voice halted her steps, a voice she never wanted to hear again for her own good.

" Na-ra.. "

Seo-yul called out to her with the same tone in his voice which he called her years ago and this influenced Na-ra's mind a lot which even some flashbacks seemed to appear on back of her head which she never want to remember again. Her cold aura seemed to breakdown in that second but the memories was so much to make her remember why she is in this situation now.

Na-ra turned to look at seo-yul with an emotionless eyes which was so much bright and full of excitement in the past when she looked at him.

" Young master seo-yul, it's a surprise to see you suddenly here .. But I'm afraid I need to get going now. Then."

Na-ra spoke as she bowed to seo-yul and to other mages with an slight smile but before she could turn to walk away suddenly a hand stopped her by holding her wrist.

By the sudden contact Na-ra turned to look again and saw seo-yul was holding her wrist , Just as surprised as Na-ra , the other mages and younghee was surprised with the situation too seo-yul's eyes were set up on the same emotion as them, the other mages eyes widened and younghee seemed to put her hands in front of her mouth with shock.

" What do you think you are doing?!? "

Na-ra inquired with a low calm tone by staring at seo-yul by slightly pulling her hands from him but the hold was too tight and firm to pull away .when she glanced upto him, his eyes was already fixated on her hands.

" Why is there blood on your hands?? "

Seo-yul inquired by staring at Na-ra's eyes however this time Na-ra and everyone was fixated on her hand. The sleeves of her clothes seemed to have a blood stain from before, from the nosebleed .

The other mages glanced down to the girl with concern and confuse regardless  seo-yul's eyes had more emotions than that which the girl couldn't point out.

" I think it's none of your concern. Young master seo-yul. "

Na-ra responded by giving every word more and more weight than the last . The other mages seemed to confuse at her actions and younghee just looked to the ground with understanding the situation and most of all seo-yul showed an expression which she couldn't read but only for a second and she hated that. She hated how much it concerned her.

" Yes... Then ."

Seo-yul responded as he slightly bowed towards her which was followed by the other mages and walked away , Na-ra watched at one of that figure walking away from her, sadness filling in her eyes as she watch it walking away again.

" This is getting more tough for me just like in the past.... "
