"Your highness has improved" the General complimented my performance at his office after training.
"That was really nothing"
I brushed off with false humility.
"I have kept your highness waiting, please join the soldiers tomorrow"
"Can I ask for something else, let me know if it is not possible"
"Uhhh.. go on"
"Can I be both?"
"A soldier and a royal guard?"
"I wish to be by his Majesty's side as one of his personal guards"
"Climbing up that high will be hard"he informed.
"But i will speak to the Commander and let you know"
"Thank you General"
"How was your journey?"
"It was fine"
"It is good you are back safely"
***********
I walked to his Majesty's meeting room alone today covering myself because of the possible rumours.
"Your Majesty Consort Shin asks for an audience"
The head eunuch announced.
"My lady you are here" he said when I entered lowering the cover.
"Yes, your Majesty"
"Please come sit"
"I am sorry I didn't bring tea today"
"It is okay my lady"
"I have been occupied for the past few days and couldn't visit" I said as an apology.
"No, i should have visited too"
Then there was short silence in the meeting room.
"My lady do you want to take a walk"
"Can we?" I asked surprised.
"Of course"
*************
There was a small pond at the centre of the walk way, we stood in front of it staring down.
"Your Majesty has proceeded with the plan?" I asked.
"Yes and I have found who it was"
"You should know Ahn hyun ki he is the eldest son of the late General Ahn"
"He would ask for something from your Majesty in return for the grains and we can only wait to hear from him now"
"Yes"
"I didn't know frogs and fishes can live together" I said innocently, from what i noticed.
"Fate must have brought them together" he said staring down at me.
"I hope they live in there peacefully for a very very long time"
"I hope they do too"
