The king's POV
I went back to the temple once and she was still absent and with the Commander's report of not finding a trace of her I grew impatient everyday.
"Please your Majesty should not forgive me" the commander said in the court room referring to the issue.
"It is Ok, you can stop searching from today"
"Your Majesty, how can I?"
"Your Majesty, the foreign minister has a report"
"Let him in"
"Your Majesty Han(China) is planning on going to war with Shilla"
"It means if the Ambassador is successful he will accept my offer"
"Yes, Congratulations your Majesty"
"You may take your leave"
"Your Majesty one of the soldiers wishes to speak with you"
When he came in, I stood up from my seat and went to him.
"Report"
"Your Majesty, I saw her coming out of her room so I rushed here to inform your Majesty "he said in a low tone.
'She is finally back'
"Commander get ready to leave"
"Your Majesty, the Ambassador is back"
"I have followed your order and have returned safely" he said when he entered.
"Everyone has been worried about you especially the General"
"The General?"
"It is a relieve you are back" the commander hurried to place his hand on the Ambassador's shoulder.
"Shilla's King agreed to your Majesty's request"
"You have done this nation a great service"
"I don't deserve such praise, if not for your Majesty's loyal men I wouldn't have been able to do it"
"By that you mean"
"Without the soldier I was with through out my journey I would have given up"
"Who is he? he shall be compensated greatly"
"Ahh well his name is Chae min"
"Commander isn't Chae min my personal guard?"
"Personal guard?"the Ambassador asked looking utterly confused.
"The thing is.. is.. he has some skills..yes skills needed for the journey so he received the command to go"
I and the Ambassador just stared at the nervous Commander.
"Ambassador should not come to court for this week" I said letting the topic go.
"I will do as your Majesty says"
