"Whatever the reason, Prince is not allowed to deal with any human, including returning to your kingdom!". Baek said, emphasizing the rules that Wook had to obey.
"I'm just helping her, isn't that a commendable act? After all, I won't just stay here. I'll take action". Said Wook as he glared at the exit.
"What do you want to do? Please think about the risks before you do it!".
Baek is really worried that the person he's trying to protect will have something worse than this.
"I will rest now!". After saying that, Wook immediately left Baek without answering his question.
Baek can't say anything because he knows that Wook is a stubborn person.
Having no more business to do, Baek immediately walked out of the forbidden forest, still feeling anxious.
"I do not know what will happen to you because it has touched a human, especially a woman. But, I hope you will be fine!". Inner Baek.
One year later.
After studying for a year, Anna can finally become a knight with many abilities. Even though she is actually a woman, now she is used to behaving like a man.
However, this time she wanted to use her appearance as a woman to achieve her goal, without her teacher knowing, of course.
"Thank you because you have been willing to teach me patiently!". Said Anna respectfully.
"Where do you want to go now?". Baek asked with a cold expression.
"Looking for my true identity. I hope we can meet again!". Anna answered.
"Go and never get hurt". After saying that, Baek immediately turned around with a sad expression because he would return to live alone in his house.
Every now and then he visits Wook in the forbidden forest to confirm his condition, which is how he does every full moon shining in the dark night sky.
After that, Anna packed up because she had to get to Gyongje before sunrise.
A few moments later.
Anna finished packing, she immediately went to bring some of the clothes Baek gave her.
"Wait!".
Anna stopped then turned around after hearing the voice of her teacher stopping her.
"What's up, teacher?". Asked Anna in surprise.
"Are you going to Gyongje?". Baek asked.
Anna immediately nodded because she really wanted to go there to start a new life while finding a way to get revenge. Because Daeksu is not safe enough for her.
"Then, please find a girl named Ah-Ri, tell her that you are my student. Besides, give her this hairpin, because she left it before leaving". Baek said as he handed her a hair clip with a phoenix ornament on her head.
"Isn't this a hair clip that is only used by nobles? Is that woman named Ah-Ri his wife? Or his sister?". Inner Anna, watching the hair clip.
"Hurry up and go before sunset, because it is not very safe to walk at night. Meanwhile, the road to Gyongje is quite dangerous".
"Yes, teacher! Goodbye!". After saying that, Anna immediately left.
For a moment, Anna felt it was hard to leave her teacher, who had been her family so far.
However, armed with the martial arts skills she has now makes her confident to travel alone to Gyongje.
Several hours later, Anna made it to the Gyongje area. However, she had not seen any signs of settlement.
"Is the countryside still far from here? This is the first time I came here and it makes me very foreign". Inner Anna while glancing in various directions, she remained alert to guard all possibilities.
Just then, Anna stopped when she felt something cold fall down her head. She looked up and saw snowflakes starting to fall.
"First snow!". Said Anna with a smile because she really likes seeing snow.
Just then, she also saw a woman hurrying along.
The girl was alone on the road that was starting to fill with snow.
Anna immediately approached her with caution.
"Miss .. Are you okay?". Asked Anna after she was in front of the girl and supported her body which almost touched the ground.
