@Park Jeongsu [it's okay bb and I'm also sorry if I've been lacking replies as well *hugs*]
"A meeting by the hoods?" She groggily repeated the words, due to her crying, but tried to compose herself back up by tapping finger tips under her eyes to dry the tear streams and kept her brown orbs onto her brother, so to pay attention to his every word, while also keeping her attention around, wouldn't anyone pick interest in their meeting more than they should.
"I sadly lost contact with anyone we used to know and I am too afraid to reveal whom I am to those whom have helped, won't they be loyal to their new govern. Yet, you can count on me there, my brother." Hyosung from there asked for a little more detail, just so she was sure on where and what time of the day to find him and after that, she peeked his cheek and flee back to her hiding place, so she could get ready for the time of gathering and so no one would question their time there only talking.
@Jeon Hyosung ((So sorry for the late reply, I ended up being busier than I planned this week ;; ))
Jeongsu nodded lightly as she told him about searching some training. "That's good." He said, his words soft. Seeing his sister cry he wanted to hug her and console her, but he knew that would cause more attention that what they needed. So he just sat on the other side of the table letting her cry, she probably needed it after hearing of the tragic events that took place a couple of years ago.
Hearing that Hyosung was changing for herself, and looking different from before she was residing in the kingdom, he nodded lightly. He wasn't able to actually tell the difference much as he wasn't in the kingdom much himself but from what he could remember, she did look a little different. He was worried that if anyone recognized her she, too, would be executed and he would have to find out about it after it's too late.
"Good." Jeongsu nodded once again looking around the room as his sister agreed that they need to take their land back. He wanted to make sure that no one was going to hear him if he was going to tell her his plan. Letting out a breath he looked back at her, making sure to make eye contact. "I am holding a meeting, in the woods." He began. "It's the deep part of the woods, but I know for sure that we are less likely to get any one to over hear us there. I am gathering a militia." He nodded once again glancing around the room. "I need you to gather as many people that you know are on our side, and have them meet there in three days shortly after the sun rises."
@Park Jeongsu "I hope I am. I've been searching some training, so I'm sure I won't be finding myself in any problems and I've been keeping myself protected." She recalled the small dagger she has attached by one leg with the help of a structure that attached to her and her stalkings.
"That does sound alike the courageous king we had. Oh, my brother! Our family! Our kingdom!" Hyosung whined as silently as she could, so she wouldn't attract attention and laid one hand over her lips, so that her small cries wouldn't be as heard.
"I will try to be aware of that, brother. I also did took a change. Have been losing some weight as I don't eat as well as I used to, I tend to live by with others' good will and tend to service any good villager with their household tasks in change of food and a place to stay, aside for the fact that I've let my usual smaller hair grow and grow, so maybe that might hide me a little?" She thought more to herself and her own fears, but was quick to return her attention to the main topic.
"Of course we can't! It is our land and I already came with that same intention, Jeongsu! I am willing to serve our kingdom's honor. I just need to be taught how to fight properly as I may not have enough to win a large battle, but I am here to help! In what may I already be useful?" Hyosung beamed with excitement to know that her brother also thought of revenge. Her blood boiled just to think of how they could handle such a matter and how they others, whom destroyed something so precious, would pay.
@Jeon Hyosung Jeongsu nodded, listening to his sister. "As long as you know what you are doing. It's been getting more dangerous to leave your own home these days." He noted lightly, again glancing around the room, with only a few of the drunkards looking in their direction mainly at their sister.
Hearing his sisters question he nodded his head reluctantly, he didn't want any of this to be true, but what has happened was definitely reality. "The princess and the queen actually passed away due to illness." He recalled. "Everyone else in the castle though, and unless they had time to get out I'm sure they have all passed." He admitted lightly, shaking his head and closing his eyes thinking for a second. "I offered to help Doojoon, but he denied every time, he knew there was an attack coming."
"From what I have heard, the people of the other kingdom thought I have died years ago. I guess that's when I ran away from the castle initially the first time and lived on the farm." He nodded his head lightly though, glancing up at his sister again. "I don't know if they know if you are alive or not, but be weary of everyone that tries to get close to you, we don't know whom they could be." He warned his sister.
Leaning back in his seat Jeongsu took the last drink of his beer setting the glass down, letting out a breath. The main reason why he called his sister here was to see if she wanted to help him build an army to take their kingdom back. "I need your help," He began. "We can't let our kingdom go down just like that."
@Park Jeongsu "I brought up a cape. I absolutely have no attention to undesired attention, my brother, but I thought that talking about such important businesses within a public places, called for extreme measures." Hyosung replied, understanding her brother's concerns, hoping that her words left him more at ease, seeing that she didn't reveal this much skin on a day to day basis -- no matter how daring the princess could be from time to time.
"Heard what?" The female payed attention to her brother as she let her head lean in, so he could still whisper, without risking her not earing anything of importance.
"So did the kingdom fell under attack after all?" She gasped as she also kept her voice as soft as she could ever possibly manage and laid one hand over left ajar.
"I realized by that time that Suzy indeed had perished. My sweet Suzy. Mother was on her death bed and I heard rumors about my brother, which had me deciding to just leave and never turn back unless I knew it was safe to return -- but Grimor?" She shook her head in disbelief as a foul taste took a hold of . She was disgusted to connect the dots and realize that they could had been the reason.
"Did they count our deaths? They probably know we are alive, do they? I did my best to hide away as I was supposing that something strange was happening around and would fall upon our land, but I never imagined that something like this would happen." Hyosung took a hold of her lower lip between teeth so to keep herself from speaking. She was about to mention how not even her mother was this malevolent, but one shouldn't speak in a hill manner of those whom have passed.
@Jeon Hyosung Jeongsu was taking a sip of his beer here and there while waiting for his sister to come to the pub, oh how he hoped that she was coming. Of course if Jeongsu wouldn't have arrived at the pub so early then he wouldn't have been feeling so anxious, he wouldn't have to worry if she was coming or not. The atmosphere that he was in wasn't helping much either, the drunks around him chattering up a storm, and loud clanking of cups here and there and the occasional crash of a table from a drunk falling over. Should he have waited outside for her instead? Something could have happened to her in the towns on her way here.
It wasn't a moment later until his eye caught movement from the door opening and a woman walking in, immediately recognizing her as his sister, the princess. He waved lightly at her as she came to sit down, observing her attire. "You must be careful walking around like that, especially when it starts getting later." He whispered to her lightly, but at the same time he understood why she chose that dress. From what he remembered his sister was bit more of a conservative person.
Hearing her questions let Jeongsu's spirit down, she must not have heard word of anything that happened. "You haven't heard?" He questioned her taking a drink of his beer once again, if he was going to tell her anything about what happened he was going to need it. Of course he didn't want to be the one to break the news to her. "Since I didn't reside in the castle.." He began looking around the Pub cautiously before making eye contact with his sister. "I wasn't affected by the tragic events that took place. I am good, as good as I can be. The kingdom.." He sighed. "Everyone left in the castle was murdered and the King of Grimor took over." He explained. "Doojoon... Suzy.. The previous Queen." He shook his head looking down at the table. "They're all gone. When I heard that you were alive I knew I had to contact you."
@Park Jeongsu Hyosung was taken as a frail woman, with a fertile imagination, but the truth is that playing with her troublemaking nephew and niece at the time things were well and making sure to follow her heart had kept her alive when others feel.
After she heard the news about her niece perishing, her mother being on her death bed and one of her brothers -- the king himself -- being rumored to also be about do die or being near it, she didn't thought twice about leaving everything behind.
Sometime away on a expedition, not only would help her gather her thoughts and emotions, but also would be a good way to keep herself safe, in case the sudden disease did found itself to be a plan from another land that had could gain profit on the end of the royal family.
Planning all in her head, she didn't even took her horse or anything that could identify her, became a simply citizen for as long as she would need to be hidden and only when she received a letter from one of her brothers, whom she didn't saw for God knows how long, was when she was lured out.
Taking the placement to the conversation in mind, Hyosung went against her morals, decided to wear something with a little more exposure to the chest and her legs and went in to meet her brother, hoping that any drunk peasants would thought her to be either a e or nothing at all as they would be too distracted by what her body would have to offer to care about the conversation.
"My brother!" The female whispered once finding the other and still flushed from her cheeks, thinking that the male wouldn't approve the outfit, but hoped that he would understand the reasons behind such disguise.
"How long has it been, dear? Do you find yourself in good health? How is the rest of the kingdom?" Hyosung questioned, obvious not aware of what the rest of the family could had done or what could had happened while she was away.
@Jeon Hyosung It felt like years had passed since the last time Jeongsu had kept in contact with any of his family, especially since the attack on his old home, the kingdom of Tradian. Even though he didn't visit there much often until the passing of his father, Jeongsu talked to his family only sometimes wanting to stay hidden and in the shadows. Of course, being in hiding was the main reason why Jeongsu was able to survive the attack on the castle, he helped with what he could and told his elder brother to prepare for the attack, but alas none of his preparing helped Jeongsu be ready for the news of his brothers death. The murder of the last King of Tradian is what brought the country to where it is today.
Having contact with many kinds of people Jeongsu heard word of one of his sisters still being alive, and roaming the lands as a citizen hiding her true identity. After finding her real location Jeongsu sent her a letter, to have her meet him at the pub, a rather secure place to make sure nothing gets out about their meeting. Jeongsu had plans, he wasn't going to let his kingdom fall just like that whether he ruled over it or not, that was his families throne and no one was going to take it away from them.
The pub was dimly lit, and very crowded just as he thought it would have been, it was the perfect place to make sure no one hears them talking and making plans. Walking up to the bar Jeongsu ordered a beer, he wasn't much of a drinker but he needed to fit in and make no suspicious activity.After getting his beer Jeongsu turned around and sat at a table in the corner facing the door to make sure he could see his sister come in to the building.
