Yoo hwa's POV.
"Are you Moon jae shik's relative?"royal mother asked while we waited for him to return.
"I am his personal trainee"
"Oh that is why"
She must have gotten suspicious of the General's over reaction.
The door suddenly started moving, i unsheathe my sword fast.
"Your Majesty" i said sheathing my sword and bowing.
"Royal mother" he said moving close.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes i put you through a lot of risk"
"No, forgive me (this son) for not protecting you properly"
He looked over to where i stood giving me a long look but blinked when the General placed his fingers on my neck to check my pulse.
"Are you okay now?"
"Yes" i replied dodging.
"We should head back" his Majesty said getting up.
***********
"Why are you getting ready in a hurry in the middle of the night" Doha asked.
"His Majesty said he would send a royal physician right away"
"You got hurt didn't you?"
"No, he just wants to confirm"
"Your highness the royal physician is here"
"Enter"
*********
I went to the field immediately after visiting royal mother and Consort Yeon woo in the morning.
"Long time no see your highness" Gu yong ha said after training.
"Where have you been?"
"Here and there" i replied.
"How have you been?"
"I have been good"
"Well then i will see you around" i said leaving for the General's office.
"Taejangun (General) Taejangun (General)" i sang when i was almost at the door.
"Can i come in?"
"Yes" he replied after taking his time.
"I am here for my salary"
"Your highness? salary?"
"Is it wrong for a soldier who has been working day and night to ask for his salary?"
"If you are here to make me forget about yesterday it is not working"
"I am simply asking for my salary"
"You are not enlisted"
"Still" i said extending my palm.
"Alright i will forget about it if you promise not to insist on doing what you want again"
"I promise to do it your way next time"
"Next time?"
I ignored the question and sat down.
"You are the only person who gets angry at his soon to be bride"
"If that soon to be bride is too troublesome" he replied smiling.
"General i think your beard..." I said pointing at his chin.
"Yes" he said with a prideful grin.
"Aigoo (oh my gosh) i am so lucky"
"You are"
He stood up and brought ringed coins from a chest.
"Here your highness, you worked for it"
I picked the coins up in the air.
'So this is my first earning, it really feels good'
"Thank you General" i said standing up.
"General i am changing my shift to late evenings and night"
"So we are done with our private training"
"Yes"
"Your highness has learnt enough"
"Thank you for everything" i said bowing deeply.
'I should buy Orabeoni and the General something with this' i decided as i tossed the coins on my way back.
