Milk.


Everyone left to do their duties and he is left alone in the hideout with QinShi. It's not a problem for Minho, he is even too proud and enthusiastic of his little brother, plus he is aware of his powers, although he never shows them, thus feels like he could defend them two even too well, in case something dangerous happened.
He loves QinShi, he does everything for him, himself; he feeds, changes and washes him, rocks him, keep him warm and safe all the time. He doesn't ask anyone to help, because in truth he is even a bit jealous and overprotective towards the baby and hates to let someone else hold him, even if for a few minutes.

That morning, as he aims to prepare food for QinShi, Minho realizes that the milk is over. Not even a drop of it left.
He panics. Since his little brother never cries, he is even paranoid about feeding him, always fearing it's not enough.
He searches the place a bit more, but there is no milk anywhere. He waits some minutes, but in the end he decides he must go to find some.
He too got an eunuch uniform along with the others, so it wouldn't be too hard to pass unnoticed, but he can't leave QinShi there alone. Even if he never cries and hardly moves at all, he wouldn't manage to take such risk.

He finds a leather bag in the hideout images.app.goo.gl/HUmUZaTQwVhBqT886, fills it with some clothes and carefully places his little brother inside of it. He covers the opening with a not too heavy blanket, to make sure enough air will pass through, and wears the shoulder bag, right before going outside and start to look for the kitchen.
He makes sure to keep the bag at the height of his belly, to monitor everything and keep QinShi the safest possible.

Arran "That'd be pretty shallow though, ani? Isn't it better to think there is more to the existence?"
He looks down. "But then he could hurt you or even condemn you... you have to be careful with powerful people like him. They have many way to harm people..."
His eyes slightly widen at her last words. "I hope not! That would be terribly dangerous too, considering our situation..." Why he has no doubt there is going to be a dangerous mess?
"Maybe I should escape with my little brother before they cause troubles..."

Long "It sure feels better but what a disappointment would it be in the end, if there is really nothing...I like to think my umma Is alive somewhere.
I will be. Hopefully I will find another way to flee from here, one never knows..." She would hope also because she knows the Crown Prince is just a child.
"I hate set ups too, why do they have to go against each other every time..." She mutters. Because the mess is so close they can smell it.
"And go where..? You too.have to be careful, even more than me, since you have him!"

Arran "I guess that if there is really nothing, we won't get the chance to realize and get the disappointment." He shrugs.
"Maybe the King will take interest into another woman and he won't really mind if you leave, then." Not a so impossible chance, knowing rulers and their huge harems.
"I don't know. There are righteous ways to solve things, but they always must choose the wrong and dangerous paths..."
He sighs. "I am not sure... Going to my parents is out of questions, but maybe I could try to reach for my grandfather safely, somehow..."

Long "Well...you are right. I just don't like to fool myself. I prefer to think things won't go well, I usually get less disappointed.
I really hope so! But won't he seek for revenge? Plus he looks obsessed with me, it is truly terrifying...
Because they want power for themselves and their families. Most times it is like that, right?
If you are sure...I find it hard to rely on anyone but somehow I feel you are trustworthy."

Arran "i don't think that negativity will really bring to an improvement of any sort.
I don't know, maybe you would have to move to another country, far from here if possible, where it would be dangerous for him to search.
Ye...
Right.
Me too, I have had a bad disappointment and I know that my grandfather is surrounded by dangerous people, but I also know I can't be like this forever."
