"I would have to" i replied

"Your Majesty asked for me?"
"My lady told me you like coming here, so i wanted to suggest some books"
We went through the books and he picked books which were mostly on how to rule, politics and power.
"Your Majesty knows these aren't my topics"
"I would like it if you started being interested in them"
"I remember my lady telling me she wants to share my burdens"
"I understand what your Majesty is trying to say but that place isn't mine to fill" i said calmly.
"But i will go through them as your Majesty wishes"
"Do you happen to have any relative among the royal guards?"he said changing the topic.
"There is someone who looks like you"
"Look?"
"Your eyes i mean"
"Yes i do"
"Here, my lady can take your leave" he said handing over the books.

"Agasshi, the General has sent a letter"
"What does it say?"
"His Majesty is asking for Chae min"
"Alright i will stop there first"

The King's POV
"I called you here to ask you something" i said while in court.
"Do you happen to know my lady Yoo hwa?"
He hesitated for sometime then he replied.
"Yes, your Majesty"
"What is your relationship?"
"We just know each other"
"You being my personal guard, did she ask of you?"
"It is because she worries for your Majesty"
"How close are you?"
"Very close your Majesty"
So he really is the one visiting her late.
"We are so close that it is like we share the same soul"
"How dare you!.. say that to his Majesty" the commander flared up.
"It is because i do not wish to lie to his Majesty" he stated.
"I should put more senses into you" the commander said with gritted teeth.
"It is okay, just take your leave"
"You should not let it bother your Majesty" the commander said after he left.
"Chae min is not actually a man"
"What does that mean?"
"That is all i can tell your Majesty for now"
