Eun Ha is in a corner, she has to think fast how she can escape from this situation. Eun Ha can't handle it all alone, while her opponent, they have all magic unlike Eun Ha who can only rely on his cleverness with the sword. They attack Eun Ha, for a while Eun Ha can still hold them, Eun Ha is very agile and agile. He kicked one of the intruders in the face until he had a nosebleed, the sound of the sword sounded loud, Eun Ha was getting tired and her speed was slowing down.
The intruder slashed Eun Ha's thigh and then used his strength so Eun Ha bounced and her back hit a tree causing Eun Ha to cough and bleed. Eun Ha's wound from yesterday at the market hasn't fully healed, but she has added another wound. One of the intruders approached Eun Ha, then kicked Eun Ha hard in the stomach, he swung his sword to kill Eun Ha but suddenly someone with a black veil came to help Eun Ha. He has magic like that intruder, even more powerful than that intruder. That person easily defeated the intruders, even his sword did not touch the intruder at all but the intruders fell and were seriously injured.
"Hey are you okay?" the person asked Eun Ha.
"Thank you, cough!" Eun Ha said coughing.
"Let's get out of here," said the person to Eun Ha.
"Is this person from Chongsibong?" Eun Ha muttered in her heart while looking at the person.
That person helps Eun Ha get up and carries her away from Daeho Village. They walk through the grass, Eun Ha clutching her stomach in pain. Eun Ha is not strong enough to walk because the blade wound on her leg is quite deep.
"Ah wait, can we rest for a bit?" Eun Ha asked the person.
"Wait for us to reach the forest," said the man.
Then they continued on their way, they walked very slowly. The blood on Eun Ha's feet kept flowing, they finally arrived at the forest.
"We'll stop here, your leg is injured quite badly I have to stop the bleeding," the man said to Eun Ha.
The man makes Eun Ha sit under the tree, he checks Eun Ha's wound and takes the cloth in her pocket. Then he tied Eun Ha's feet with the cloth to stop the bleeding.
"Ah!" Eun Ha screams in pain.
"Let's rest here first," said the man.
"But what about Daeho Village?" Eun Ha asked.
"The residents have been evacuated, so there's no need to think about it," replied the man.
"Thank goodness," Eun Ha mumbled while looking at Daeho Village which was already half burnt.
"Wait, are we from the same group?" Eun Ha asked curiously.
"According to you ?" replied the man.
"What's your name ?" Eun Ha asked.
"Just call me Kangin," replied the man.
"Emm .. Kangin, thank you for helping me," said Eun Ha.
Then Kangin sat next to Eun Ha and put his sword next to Eun Ha. Eun Ha glanced at Kangin's sword, he saw that there was a pendulum hanging on the scabbard of his sword.
"Looks like it's a valuable item," Eun Ha muttered to herself.
"How did you get into the group?" Kangin asked making Eun Ha shocked and confused about how to explain it.
"Huh? It's a long story, I'm confused where to start hehehe.." replied Eun Ha.
"That's it, no need to force yourself, let's go home, I'll take you home," Kangin said then took Eun Ha home.
"No, let's just go to the headquarters, I'll stay there," replied Eun Ha, making Kangin confused.

The Crown Prince has returned to his residence, he can finally sleep well after he went for a walk to the lake.
"Where have you been?" asked the eunuch to Kang Uk.
"Bathroom, sorry if it's too long," replied Kang Uk.
"Aish, is he peeing stones, why is it taking so long," muttered the eunuch and then left Kang Uk to take turns guarding.
It was morning, Baek Hyeon ran towards the palace, he woke up late again, he ran so fast that he didn't see a branch in front of him, his head hit a branch until his hat fell. He reflexively stopped and took his hat, in the hall there was already the Crown Prince and the king watching Baek Hyeon's embarrassing behavior. Baek Hyeon realized that the king and Crown Prince were looking at him, Baek Hyeon reflexively paid his respects to the King and Crown Prince, then he put his hat back on and walked into the hall.
"Good morning Your Majesty," said Baek Hyeon greeting the king and Crown Prince, then bowed.
"Please have a seat," said the King to Baek Hyeon.
Then Baek Hyeon sat in front of the King and Crown Prince, he was confused about what they would say to Baek Hyeon, the atmosphere became very awkward because they were all silent. Baek Hyeon ventured to open the conversation.
"Ahem."
Baek Hyeon cleared his throat, was about to say something so that the atmosphere would not be awkward, but suddenly his father came and made Baek Hyeon confused.
"Father?" said Baek Hyeon surprised to see his father came there.
Then his father paid his respects to the king and Crown Prince, he sat next to Baek Hyeon, Baek Hyeon looked at his father in confusion.
"How are you this morning, Your Majesty?" Minister Lee asked the King.
"Good, how about you ?" the King asked minister Lee.
"Of course I am doing well, Your Majesty," replied Minister Lee.
"Emm, Your Majesty, what is really going on, that you summoned me and my father to meet His Majesty here?" asked Baek Hyeon courageously.
"Ah, apparently you don't like small talk, huh? Hahaha.." said the King.
"I'm sorry, your noble servant," said Baek Hyeon.
"Drink the tea before it gets cold," said the King.
They all drank their tea, Baek Hyeon still confused what father and King were planning. Then Baek Hyeon drank his tea again while glancing at the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince raised his eyebrows and was met with a glare by Baek Hyeon.
"If I'm being honest, I'm actually a bit awkward here," Baek Hyeon said with a smile.
"Why ?" asked the Crown Prince not because of what Baek Hyeon said earlier, but with Baek Hyeon's gaze at the Crown Prince.
"Um, this is the first time I've come face to face with His Majesty the King," replied Baek Hyeon.
"Hahaha .. well I'll say now," said the King and drank his tea.
"Baek Hyeon, I will transfer you to the investigation agency," said the king making Baek Hyeon, crown Prince and minister Lee shocked.
Minister Lee was surprised that his request was not granted by the king, he asked Baek Hyeon to be demoted instead of being moved.
"Do you agree Prime Minister Lee?" the King asked minister Lee.
"Ah of course I will accept whatever you give to the servant and son of the noble servant," replied Minister Lee and drank his tea.
