The marketplace was filled with street side shops and activities. Yuna and her parents had a difficult time trying to get through the crowd. Many of them were pushing and shoving to get to their destinations. They kept getting stopped by street vendors that wanted to sell them various goods. Yuna’s parents looked down at their daughter that held their hand tightly.
Yuna had a scowl on her face that revealed her discontent. She didn’t look so happy to be here. Junho became worried for his daughter. What if she doesn’t like the marketplace? How could he have been so stupid to bring his daughter to the marketplace? He should have taken her to the sea like he originally planned. He only wanted to let her have a fun day, but it turns out she’s still too young to go to the marketplace.
Sena on the other hand, knew why Yuna had a scowl on her face. It was because she didn’t enjoy being in crowded places. It was easy to get lost and there were a
Yuna and her parents spent the whole morning enjoying their trip to the marketplace. Her parents were different from her expectations. They were caring and attentive like normal parents. She didn’t have a break from her studies for a while. Today was a day that felt like a vacation. She wanted to live a life that was fun every day. She spent her previous life working, but she never really had a vacation. Now that she recalls her past life it felt bland and boring. It would be great if every day were like today. After spending her time shopping and eating, she grew tired. Yuna was a homebody and she wasn’t used to exercising. She hadn’t gained weight either because she never had an appetite. It was normal for her to get lost in her books. She was either working or studying. Yuna decided it was time for her to go home. While trying to grab her mother’s sleeve to gain her attention, she was interrupted when a creepy man walked in between her mother and her. He grinned at Yuna which br
The slave trader wasn’t able to make more snide remarks because her father had him breaking out in a cold sweat. Yuna didn’t have to worry about being in danger with her father around. Most people already knew about his reputation and his achievements during the war. There was hardly anyone in the country of Guwon that didn’t know about General Junho and his frightening personality.Yuna wasn’t focused much on the scary looking man. She was too distracted by the appearance of Sun. She walked to the back of the line where Sun was located. All the slaves watched as Yuna passed by them nonchalantly.She stopped at the little girl that didn’t look appealing in any way. They couldn’t figure out why she would be interested in a slave that didn’t meet the requirements for an ideal slave. Sena became worried and she instantly gripped onto Yuna’s sleeve to prevent her from walking any further.&n
Sun was extremely intelligent. She had picked up the language of Guwon in nearly 1 year of interacting with the slave traders and foreigners. She didn’t respond to most of Yuna’s comments. She would rather pretend to be clueless of the language than deal with Yuna.When Sun first arrived at the Kim Estate, she was treated very nicely by both the maids and Yuna herself. Sun wasn’t being treated like a normal slave. She resided in a lavish room that was similar to Yuna’s room. Most of the maids silently showed their jealousy when they noticed Sun’s unusual special treatment. It was almost like Sun was the general’s second daughter.No one in the household, dared to bully Sun. It would be a death sentence waiting to happen. Sun found it unusual that Yuna kept coming into her room and worrying about her condition. She expected her to be like her aunt. Nice at first, but neglectful when it came to her needs. No
The relationship between Sun and Yuna was a work in progress. Just like everything else in life, it required time. Yuna wasn’t particularly good at socializing and Sun was on the same boat. Although they weren’t the best of friends, Yuna could still feel that their friendship was at the budding stage. If she kept at it, eventually Sun would have to give in. Yuna spent most of her evenings leisurely reading books about various subjects. Sun didn’t have much to do, so she spent her evenings watching Yuna read. It was extremely boring, and she couldn’t stand sitting in the same position for hours on end.In the end, Sun chose to grab a book for herself. She began reading about plants and grew interested in the book. Yuna noticed that Sun was reading about plants that could be used for medicine. She hadn’t had the chance to read
Junho had finished his morning court rather early today and decided to visit his beloved daughter, Yuna. He hardly had the chance to spend time with her. She was always busy with her journey to attaining knowledge. He was busy with his work as usual. This was the only chance for him to make it up to Yuna. When he arrived at his estate, he noticed a little girl that was sitting by the entrance. She looked unusually familiar to him. He strode towards the stranger to find out what she needed. He called out to her, “Why have you come here? Who are you?” The girl smiled and there were twinkles in her eyes. He didn’t find her cute like his daughter at all. She seemed rather coy and deceptive. He was used to seeing gisaengs (prostitute) that behaved in a similar way. He wasn&r
The ninja changed into a normal outfit that made him look like a travelling martial artist. He was outstanding at martial arts and his steps were mastered to the point that he could fly through the trees without any problem. He had superhuman speed that surpassed his brethren. He was known for his speed and stealth. They arrived at the Kim residence in no time. The guards stopped the two people from entering. “What brings you here?” Haemi spoke up, “I am the niece of the general. I’ve suffered a major trauma that needs urgent attention. Please get the general to help me.” After listening to their explanation, the guard immediately sent one of the other guards to inform the general. The general was spending quality time with his daughter and felt extremely peeved by the soldie
Haemi’s attractive face was reflected on the lake’s surface. She wasn’t expecting Yuna to be staring at that reflection. Haemi was beautiful, but the expression on her face made her look devious. If Yuna wasn’t so observant of her surroundings, she definitely wouldn’t have noticed how Haemi was two-faced. Haemi tapped Yuna’s shoulders lightly and she beamed her pearly white teeth at her. Yuna didn’t want to call it a smile, because she knew Haemi wasn’t actually smiling at her. Haemi’s fairy-like voice broke the silence, “Hello. I’m Kim, Haemi and I’m your cousin, from your father’s side of the family. It’s nice to finally be able to meet you.” Yuna responded by looking up and down observing
Unexpectedly, Sun was watching this whole ordeal unfold before her eyes. The girl in pink sure knew how to create drama out of nothing. Yuna wasn’t bothering anyone and she was enjoying her time at the pond when she sprung up out of nowhere. Sun was about to talk to Yuna, but she didn’t want to disturb their conversation. Looking at the pink dress she wore, revealed that she was of higher status than herself. Sun was planning on staying out of it, but she could not stand watching other’s bully Yuna. Even though she had a difficult time opening up to Yuna, she still viewed her as an ally. She felt irked when she witnessed her being bullied. She instantly made herself visible to the three people by jumping in between Yuna and Haemi. She didn’t care if she wa
