"If you meet Wook in the future, please run as far as possible. You shouldn't get involved in anything with him. Including falling in love with him. Really, the pay is too high if you don't obey my message". Ah-Ri said while holding Anna's two hands.
Hearing Ah-Ri's words, Anna became even more confused and did not understand the woman's attitude that initially looked calm and calm.
"Who is that Wook?". Asked Anna.
"Don't say his name again using your mouth, he can hear you even though you are far away from him. Now, tell me who you really are!". Ah-Ri answered when she felt calmer again.
"I am the Princess of the Daeksu kingdom who couldn't return to her palace after my uncle committed treason. Both of my parents were beheaded before my own eyes. In order to get revenge, I have to hide in Gyongje territory that doesn't know me. I will gather strength to take back my palace ". Anna replied with a sharp gaze.
"As I thought, the two kingdoms are Gyongje and Daeksu. Should I help him to take revenge or prevent everything from happening so bad things don't happen?". Inner Ah-Ri.
"Forgive me for not knowing you!". Ah-Ri immediately paid her respects to Anna.
Instantly, Anna, who had not received such respect for a long time, felt awkward and uncomfortable.
"Madam, please don't be like this! Let's go back to like before. And please, don't let my identity be exposed!". Said Anna while helping Ah-Ri to stand up.
Ah-Ri immediately stood up and fixed her makeup.
"Can I be your daughter?". Asked Anna again with a pleading expression.
"A privilege for me!". Ah-Ri answered politely.
"Then, tonight you can introduce me to the others. Didn't you want to take me to the meeting room earlier?". Anna said with a smile.
Ah-Ri was silent for a moment when she saw such a beautiful and sweet smile. Even she as a woman who is no longer young can feel charmed by Princess Anna. How about a boy? No wonder King Sujin reportedly kept her daughter neatly in the palace. As it turns out, she is indeed very beautiful". Ah-Ri thought.
"Well, we will meet them tonight. Incidentally this place does not have so many guests. The masher men usually leave before twelve in the evening. But, how should I call you?".
Ah-Ri felt the need to know her name so she could call her properly.
"My name is Anna Lee and you can call me Lyn because it is my little nickname. Only my mother and father know the call". Anna answered.
"Alright Princess Lyn, starting tonight you will be my daughter". Said Ah-Ri with a happy smile because it is an honor for her to be the adoptive mother of a Princess.
"Just call me Lyn! Let it be more natural, isn't it Mother? ".
"Yes. I'll call you Lyn".
"Oh yeah, I'll help you by doing a lot of work with your other employees. So, please don't differentiate between me. Except, being a Gisaeng, I can't possibly do it". Said Anna while emphasizing the word impossible to become a Gisaeng.
"Of course, I can't possibly let your master do such a job. In the meantime, Princess I will introduce some bodyguards here. How?". Ah-Ri replied with a smile.
"Very well, I'm ready!". Anna replied.
After that, the two of them immediately came out of Ah-Ri's room. Anna couldn't hide her identity when using hanbok, her instincts as a Princess, made her very nervous.
Her walking was slow, her eyes were soothing, and she was able to shine in the dark. It was too flashy.
Anna thought it would be safer to remain a man, because then no one would be able to interfere or guess her true identity.
A few moments later, they both arrived in the room. who had been waiting all this time, was shocked when she saw the woman standing beside her.
