Namjoo was used to living as a male. Her father had always wanted male children to the point of being delusional. He refused to accept that his first child was a female. He forced her to dress up as a male since she was young. She was also an only child. Her mother had passed away giving birth to her. It was only natural for her father to hide her gender.
She didn’t have any desire to live the rest of her life as female because she enjoyed the privileges of being male. She lived in a male driven society that looked down on females. She also excelled at martial arts which prevented her from revealing her gender. She wouldn’t mind living the rest of her life without getting married.
She’d never expect that her secret would easily be revealed by a little boy. The boy looked suspicious. He had a cloak on that was too big for his size. The only reason why he would dress this way would be to hide himself. The only reason she coul
Eunho couldn’t stay focused on training his soldiers due to what happened with Yuna not too long ago. He needed to get his soldiers ready for what would happen in the future. His soldiers were growing extremely lax with their training after the war had ended. It was peaceful during this time, but he knew that this peace was only temporary. He knew that in the near future, there would be a long war against the country of Miyon. Eunho tried his best to concentrate on the task at hand, but he couldn’t stop thinking about Yuna. Every time he felt that he knew her a little bit, she would surprise him with new information about herself. He always believed Yuna to be the perfect noble lady that needed saving, but after their last encounter, he felt that he didn’t truly know what was going on in Yuna’s head. Sometimes he just wanted to pry ins
Namjoo was very cautious around people to avoid being caught as a female. She couldn’t let this kid get away scot free. She decided to stick around and find out more about the kid. Yuna had no clue on how to fix the situation. It seemed that she wasn’t going to easily get away from her. Yuna scratched her head nervously, “So, what do you plan on doing with me?” Namjoo replied ominously, “If I find that you revealed any of my secrets, I will come for you. Don’t think that I’ll let you go so easily.” Yuna cried in her heart. What did I get myself into, now? She begged, “I promise I won’t reveal anything, so could you let me go? I have to be somewhere.” Namjoo wasn’t planning on keeping her prisoner. She wasn’t into imprisoning little kids. It wouldn’t be too bad to keep a close eye on her. She seemed to be a weak kid. She could tell that the kid didn’t have a single bit of aura distinguishing her as a martial artist. Namjoo sighed, “I gues
Namjoo and Yuna successfully arrived at the marketplace. Namjoo directed Yuna to the Weapons & Armor shop that was located not too far from the Town Square. When she first walked into the shop, a musky scent masked the entire store. The walls were covered with high quality swords and other weapons. Yuna had no clue on what type of weapon would fit her best. She decided that it’d be better to wait on buying a weapon until she began her actual martial arts training. She’d have to just look for the right gear to workout in. Namjoo was used to purchasing from the weapon shop. She easily navigated through the store while looking for things she needed for herself. Yuna took her time looking around the shop. She didn’t need to buy weapons, so she kept walking through the v
He attempted to sell Namjoo a dysfunctional item, only to find that his life was gravely in danger. Namjoo almost killed him for trying to fool him once. What would happen if he found out that he was trying to fool his friend too? The shopkeeper broke out into a cold sweat. He smiled nervously at Namjoo, “I wasn’t trying to sell any dysfunctional items. I promise.” Namjoo pointed at the hemp shirt curiously, “Than what’s that over there? This looks like a dysfunctional item to me.” The shopkeeper hurriedly snatched the shirt away from Namjoo’s grasp and explained, “Did I mean this shirt? I must’ve pointed at the wrong shirt. I was just about to throw this garbage away. No one is willing to buy it.” He tossed the shirt be
To the Weapon Master’s dismay, Yuna wasn’t interested in the rest of the items. He brought out all sorts of products, but none interested the kid. He felt frustrated since he had to run back and forth to find these items in his storage. He tried everything, but the kid wouldn’t budge. He didn’t want to buy anything! WM Chong grumbled, “It’s obvious that nothing suits your taste. What can I do?” Yuna smiled, “I’m very disappointed in everything that you’ve brought to me. There isn’t anything here that I’m interested in. It seems that I need to go shop elsewhere.” WM Chong refused to let the kid go so easily. He wasted all his time trying to get him to buy something, only to be deemed as useless. He felt that all his years as the best blacksmith in the region to be a lie. He worked so hard to create masterpieces that were coveted throughout the globe. He didn’t expect to find a difficult customer. For some odd reason
Meanwhile, Eunho scoured the forest for Yuna. He could not find her anywhere. He kept wondering where she could have gone. She most likely wasn’t kidnapped from the way her clothes were left behind. She must’ve changed into a disguise and snuck out. The only place he could think of was the marketplace that wasn’t too far away. He gathered the soldiers to search the marketplace. He had no idea if Yuna was kidnapped or if she snuck out. He was extremely worried about her. He knew that there were bandits in the area that threatened the daily lives of innocent citizen. Some were unfortunate enough to lose their lives while dealing with these bandits. Every time he searched the marketplace for a trace of their whereabouts, they would go into hiding. He was not succes
Yuna was looking around for things to buy when she suddenly heard her stomach growl loudly. Namjoo noticed the cute kid trying to pretend that there wasn’t a loud monster in her tummy demanding for food. Namjoo strangely felt the urge to act as a sister-figure to Yuna. Namjoo hardly got along with kids, but Yuna made her want a little sister. Namjoo dotingly asked her, “Should we head over to a restaurant?” Yuna sheepishly nodded. They soon found a restaurant that was nearby. Yuna noticed the lively atmosphere inside and remembered that the restaurants in this world were a bit different. Most restaurants were more like a tavern or a bar. She didn’t normally like to visit these restaurants because it was normally frowned upon on single women to be at this sort of place. There
Yuna was shocked to see Eunho. She didn’t expect him to find her so soon. Eunho glared at Namjoo after hitting the back of her head. His menacing voice was heard by Namjoo, “What are you two doing here?” Namjoo quickly turned around to find the general glaring back at her. She awkwardly answered, “I’m sorry, sir. We were just about to get some food. What brings you here?” Eunho didn’t respond to Namjoo’s question, but instead looked towards Yuna for an answer. Yuna scratched her head and smiled awkwardly, “Just as Namjoo said, we’re about to get some food. Aside from that, I wanted to know how you two know each other.” Eunho replied, “He’s just one of my soldiers. You don’t need to worry about it. I just want to hear an explanation as to why you’re not currently at your residence. Wasn’t I clear to you about how dangerous it is to be outside your residence without my protection?” &nb
