With light speed, Yu Eung-Bu's demeanor changed from that of a mischievous youth to a stern and dangerous commander.
At almost 40 years old, Bak Paengnyeon had influence over his peers, as well as his Majesty King Sejo's trust. Even though he was a loyal supporter of the former King Danjong who had been even granted a vice-minister position, the new monarch still chose to keep Bak Paengnyeon around.
The new King offered him a suitable position as the governor of Chungcheong province. Thus, ensuring that this capable person would remain loyally in his service. Having the governance of Chungcheong province, Bak Paengnyeon would also be able to maintain a good grasp over the central area of the country, making him a key person in the King's retinue.
Over the years, Bak Paengnyeon had always considered himself to be a royal servant, loyal first and foremost to the country and King.
