On my way to her chamber, most of the soldiers just looked down to mind their business or turned to change their path.
'How dramatic' i thought.
I watched in the dark how my lady opened her eyes but closed them back immediately.
And smiled when she consciously leaned in.
At her chamber, I placed my lady on her bed and sat at the edge.
After some time she opened her eyes and stretched.
"Your Majesty is here" she said sitting up.
"I fell asleep worrying about your Majesty"
"I am fine, it was just something to make me fall deeply asleep"
"And you ended up going through a lot because of it"
"Your Majesty should know I wouldn't .."
"I know my lady, I trust you"
"Thank you, your Majesty"
"I have to compliment my lady for being bold enough to sleep there"
"I shouldn't have"she said rubbing her head thoughtfully.
"My lady, I have questions for you too today"
"Please ask"
That night after my questions we talked for a long time about our childhood and how she came to the palace in her sister's stead but it was the best decision she has made.
From the way she talked about her family it made me miss the old days with my younger brothers.
I left after she fell asleep again.

The issue was mentioned in court during the week and I told them I would be doing the questioning while she was confined in her chamber.
I felt free to visit her place late evenings for 'questioning'.
We discussed on sending an envoy to Shilla just before Goguryeo goes into a food crisis.
I should visit the rest of the Consorts today because I feel I have neglected my responsibility for some time.
I went to Yeon woo's place first.
"Is your Majesty healthy now?"
"Yes, it wasn't anything big"
"I don't know what they are doing to a sick person" she said annoyed.
She seems to pity her but there is really nothing pitiful about Yoo hwa.
"Can I still visit her in her confinement?"
"You have my permission"
She stood up to bring a vase with some flowers.
"I prepared this for your Majesty, and pray you live healthy and green just like it"
"Thank you"
"My lady looks pretty today just like these flowers"
She looked down shyly.
"Are you really doing well?"
"I am thanks to your care"
"If you need anything don't hesitate to let me know"
