The next day, Yuna woke up in her bedroom. The last thing she remembered was talking to her father about the truth. She felt a huge weight was lifted off her shoulders. She assumed that she fell asleep in her father’s office and he must’ve taken her to her bedroom.
Yuna dug through her wardrobe and found a cool outfit for a leisurely summer day. While preparing her outfit, some maids barged into her room. She found it odd that they came into her bedroom because she never liked that the maids would help her dress up. She was used to dressing herself up and getting ready for the day on her own. Although she had the luxury to do so, she didn’t like it.
Yuna asked, “Why are you in my bedroom? I didn’t call for you.” One of the maids lowered her hea
Yuna felt herself being lifted up. The maid grunted in frustration when they realized how heavy Yuna was. They were trained to be much stronger than normal maids, but they never had to carry someone over the wall. One of the maids complained, “She’s way too heavy! How are we supposed to climb over when she’s not doing anything at all? Let’s get her to climb the wall willingly.” When the maids looked at Yuna, they noticed that she had her eyes closed. The maid glared at the little girl. She dared to sleep through all of this. They were angry with her for being so uncooperative. The maid smacked Yuna’s back harshly and shouted, “WAKE UP! We know you aren’t sleeping. Climb over that wall. If you don’t, you know what will happen.”
Yuna never had the chance to meet him in her past life so she had no clue of the relationship between her father and him. She wondered how they met and how they became so close. Maybe it was fate like he’d mentioned, but she didn’t believe in it. She’d rather believe that all the choices that were made were her own free will. It would be depressing to think that everything in life resorted to a fate instead of free will. Yuna blurted out the question, “So how did you meet my father?” Eunho seemed to be pondering about the question she mentioned. It looked like he didn’t want to answer. She found it odd that he wouldn’t answer a simple question. She then continued asking questions, “Did you meet my father on the battlefield?” He nodded without saying a single word. She felt
Just as he lost all hope of surviving, a girl shouted at the shopkeeper. The girl was dressed lavishly, and most could tell that she came from a prominent family. The guards that surrounded her were enough to be considered a princess. He had no clue who this girl was, but she was willing to help him. She shouted, “STOP! Look what you’ve done to him? Can’t you see that he’s hurt badly?” She hurriedly rushed to him and covered him from the shopkeeper. He could not beat Eunho any longer because a noble lady chose to protect him. She had a higher status than him and he knew the consequences of angering a noble. He had a family to take care of and could not cause trouble with a noble. She reprimanded the shopkeeper, “Even if he’s done something wrong, you shouldn’t be beating him like this. He&rsqu
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 fro
Yuna was extremely light, especially since she looked younger than her peers. Although they were similar in age, Yuna was a lot lighter than what Eunho expected. He placed her on the bed, but afterwards, he didn’t know where to look. Yuna’s face and his were very close and there was an ambiguous atmosphere that caused both of them to become awkward. What was Eunho supposed to do when he was in the room of the woman he loved. His one-sided crush wasn’t going away any time soon. He obviously didn’t know how to act in front of her. Their interactions weren’t as smooth as he had wanted. He felt defeated every time he spoke to her. He had a hard time trying to get his feelings across. He’d had the same issue in his previous life. He gently placed her on the bed and looked away from her i
It was later decided that Yuna would get proper time to rest after the attempted kidnapping. Eunho was able to get a doctor to take a look at Yuna. The doctor wasn’t too worried about her condition. She had a minor heat stroke. Both Sun and her mother helped her cool down and rest. After her father got home, he decided it would be best for Eunho to stay at their residence to protect Yuna from any danger. Meanwhile, the Empress was furious with her servants for not successfully following the plan. The servants that had failed the task were killed on the spot to prevent anyone from finding out the mastermind. If any of them were left behind, it would be easy to tell who was behind the attempted kidnapping. Since her plan had failed and it seemed that Yuna was being protected profusely by the two generals, she had to find another
Yuna was in for a rude awakening when she thought her day was going to be a peaceful one. She woke up to the sounds of soldiers groaning miserably outside her bedroom. What was going on out there? Yuna slid her window open to take a peek. There were a countless number of soldiers that were found sprawled all across the courtyard. General Eunho was standing over them with a look of contempt directed at their scared faces. He shouted, “Is that all you got? You should be ashamed of yourselves! I expected the greatest army to be filled with talent, but all I see is a pathetic bunch of whiners. Get up, right now!” The soldiers scrambled to their feet. They formed a straight line in front of Eunho. All the soldiers knew that if they didn’t get up immediately, they would definitely not see tomorrow. Eun
While Eunho was busy training with the soldiers, Yuna rushed to her father’s room in hopes of catching him before he left for work. She was sure that he would be home since it was still early. Just as she turned the corner, she ran into her father. He frowned at her petite figure on the ground after running into him. She was way too clumsy for her own good.He helped her up and asked, “Shouldn’t you still be in bed? Why are you up so early?” She replied, “I needed to talk to you about something important before you left for work.” He still had a while till he needed to be at work, so he easily agreed, “Then, lets go into my office to chat. I still have a while till I need to be at work.”Yuna sat on the guest seat across from his desk. She didn’t have much time to waste since he had to be at work. She got straight to the point without beating around the bush, “I’d like to rece
