" you are right, am always grateful, if it wasn't your work I wouldn't be here and my son Jo" sala said while smiling and sipping on her drink
" Jo soon it's your birthday, you are finally becoming an adult, in the near future you'll be leading us, i can't wait" sala's father said to the prince " yes he's finally growing up, my baby" Sala added
" what do you do these days,i always hear people say you are practicing hard lately you are an intelligent man" sir mun said, jo smiles as he replies " these days am interested in reading more about martial arts, and learning more about sila and the people " they all laughed proudly then sala's father added " jo am sure a lot of ladies are wanting to talk to you, maybe you should choose a bride it's about time,,, and sir mun has a daughter and she's smart ", they smiled and kept talking but jo seemed to not agree with the suggestion, but he went along with it.
*dangali village *
* someone standing on top of the mountain near a large tree viewing the village in a distance*
* a lady with a big hat with a cloth covering her face, wearing a sky blue long dress and blue at her waist with a red small sack, and suddenly someone came from behind *
" ma'm it's time to go" harlim said
( harlim is a bodyguard, he's handsome)
" so this is dangali village" she sighs and looks behind, " did you send the letter?"
Harlim replied to her" yes, I sent it" she sighed again as she went approaching the wagon
In that moment in dangali village, someone received a letter
" sir,sir,, you got a letter " a man handed over the letter , the other person was in shock after reading the letter"
(His name is Nim, he's a man who is wealthy in dangali village, and likes helping people)
*back to sila palace *
" hey, take this to the royal library, and then after you can be dismissed and go home, and make sure tomorrow you come early we have a lot to do" officer Willy said to haru.
It was a night when haru finished his errands, While haru was taking the books, he saw someone passing as if the man was suspicious then he thought • what's with him, why does he look suspicious • but he didn't seem to mind about it,he went to the library he pressed the books in the shelves , in that moment something crossed his mind, and he started searching books, maybe he was searching for a book or he was curious.
" who's there" he heard some one outside, so he suddenly left searching he went out and met the guard " I was about to leave" he then went his way and the guard closed the library.
While on his way home he bought snacks for seff and caas, and they shared as always at night and talking about how their day went
" yah! I heard the prince's birthday is soon, women must be so desperate, what does he look like?" Caas amazingly said while eating some a tangerine , seff and haru looked at each other and smiled " why,,,, do you want to marry the prince,,,, he so ugly" haru said to caas, the she gave him a stare more like * are you crazy *," is it a problem to ask, are you jealous, either the prince or you, no one is my type " as always caas and haru like teasing each other.
The morning
* at the conference room*
* king's advisors*
" your majesty, this can't happen, we must find the people who did it"
" how does one be ashamed of robbing the palace store"
" chief of army, you should investigate through this matter "
( the palace store is a big place, where luxury and food and medicine is kept at the palace, that place is huge)
When the men continued talking about how they should investigate and find out who is behind the robber,
" your majesty we must, search for those people " as they were talking, the king gave orders to search every single household, some of the palace things are sealed with palace signs, so for the case it would be easier .
*bureau office*
* bodyguard running towards officer Willy *
" sir, we got,,," before he could speak " you fool you scared me,,,,since when will you learn not to shout like that"
Officer Willy with is angrier face, scolding the bodyguard " talk what is it", the bodyguard said " it's the king's order ", officer willy who was picking his nose was in shock and he suddenly told everyone to gather up including haru, they went down to the village to search.
While men were moving out the palace, prince Jo Ahn was from the reading room, and he saw guards going " what's going on ", one of his maid explained for him" what, searching the village?", he was a little bit concerned but didn't seem to mind a lot.
( prince Ahn is more like a golden spoon guy and he likes minding his own business)
* sila village *
*people buying others selling things, people laughing, different activities happening *
Seff and Caas were walking, caas ran towards at the market woman selling head bands, bracelets, and pins, she quickly got a bracelet " this would look nice on haru, he likes these kind of bracelets" as she smiled showing seff" here I'll get you one too" seff looked at her and smiled, the market woman gave a hair pin to caas " here this would look nice on you,,, you are a beautiful young lady , is this man your lover "
She was blushing when then woman was telling her how she'd look nice and how beautiful she is, but as soon as she mentions a lover, she immediately "no,,,no", same as seff said no and she added " we are friends ". But the the market woman laughed " young kids these days , you don't have to be shy, it's alright the more you show it, the more you enjoy it"
In that moment
" make a way"
* people started screaming *
Royal guard surrounded the area, and started searching everywhere, they were so rough and harsh, seff grabbed caas's hand they quickly went.
While they were searching, Willy was standing ordering them to search, and then one guard approached him
" I think we found something "
They went to one household, there was a man kneeling and his wife with a child, they took the man, and the woman started crying pleading for mercy " please help my husband, he didn't do it, I swear " , but they didn't listen to her, when haru was turning the woman grabbed his leg " please, I beg you, my husband didn't do it" but other guard moved her roughly to let go of him, haru looked at the woman, he clenched his fists.
When haru went back home, his friends were waiting for him, after dinner, they started talking
" why would that man steal from the palace" caas said while wondering
" when that man was being taken , I saw someone was watching, it seemed so suspicious, I tried to follow him but I lost him" seff added
Haru looked at him, and he also started connecting and remembers the man he saw at the palace, they were all wondering,
The next morning at the palace
* the man who is a culprit after torturing him*
He was taken to a prison, when haru and another bodyguard were about to leave the prison cell" please,,,, don,,,, don't let ,,,,m,,y child ,,, an,,, wife die,,," he said while his voice was breaking, the guard said to him" what!! are you even talking, just stay there and wait for your final punishment,,,, let's go" he went out, haru saw the man who was tortured.
When the bureau, investigated, most things were missing, but they had to torture the man until he says where others are,
( the orders were from the head of army at the palace)
That night, haru followed the suspicious man, who he saw that night and in his thoughts • he's a maid of the king why is he suddenly going out this late• the man went out of the palace, when he continued following him, while hiding, when he turns to see, the man is gone, when he moved forward, he saw a a small house and he entered, it was a repair shop" can I help you" a man said, haru looked scared a little bit like he was caught, the man looked at him up and down, and opened his hand, haru got confused " wha,,what", the man smirked " ts ts obviously do you think you'll enter for free". " ohh", haru removed his sack of money, gave a man 2 cents, but the man looked at him like he was stupid, he added, then he got to enter. The place he entered was a gambler place, with a lot of people, mostly men and few women helpers, while walking he saw a man with a red waist belt then he remembers something,seff mentioned this •he was wearing blue clothes and a red waist belt•', while he was remembering, he saw a man he was following, he tried to hide pretending to be a guest, but luckily he didn't get caught.
