Yuna caught him staring at her for a long time. She wondered, “What are you thinking about so deeply?” Eunho was caught off guard. He was too immersed in his thoughts; he forgot that she was right in front of him. He responded, “It’s nothing. By the way, why did you fall off the wall? Where are you going?”

Yuna thought it would be better to let him know, especially since he was going to protect her in the future. Her eyebrows scrunched up when she thought about her kidnappers that failed. She answered his question, “I wasn’t trying to run away or anything. Why would I? This is my own home. There were a couple of maids that were trying to take me somewhere. I have no clue. They couldn’t get through the front gates, so they tried to sneak me out over the wall.”

He frowned, “So they were trying to kidnap you? Why didn’t you tell me sooner? They must’ve gotten away by now.” Yuna felt stupid for not letting him know sooner. She was too focused on meeting Eunho that she didn’t care about the kidnappers that almost succeeded. She apologized, “I’m sorry. I should’ve told you sooner.” She stared down at her hands guiltily.

Eunho frowned, “What did I say about saying sorry?” She glanced up at him once she was reminded of what he said before. He didn’t like it when she apologized. She tried to explain herself, “There’s nothing wrong with me apologizing. Isn’t that the polite thing to do?” His frown became a scowl, “You did nothing wrong, so why should you be the one to apologize?”

She had no way to please him. He didn’t like it when she apologized, and he wasn’t happy with her for not telling him her situation. He was so hard to deal with. She’s never had anyone care for her in this way for a long time. Obviously, she didn’t count her parents in this lifetime and in her past. She never had a guy care for her, so she had no clue what to do to appease his anger. Why was he so angry in the first place?

She asked, “Why are you so upset? It’s not like you were going to get kidnapped. I should be the one that’s upset, not you.” She had a point; he shouldn’t be feeling this upset unless he had feelings for her. Of course, he wasn’t going to let her know how he felt. Eunho spent his last lifetime hiding his feelings, it wouldn’t be too hard to do the same in this lifetime.

He explained, “I’m not upset, so calm down. I just wanted to find out who was behind the attempted kidnapping. Do you have a clue as to who would want to harm you?” Yuna could not tell him the full details. She was willing to tell her father about her reincarnation, but she didn’t want to tell Eunho. He would probably think she was crazy if she did.

There was no way of concealing that part of the story if she told him the Empress and Prince Minho were possible threats. She’d have to explain to him how she knew they were the culprits. She had no concrete evidence. In the end, she chose to keep it from him. She was sure that he’d find out later.
