*At the palace*
* conference room *
"Since the people are complaining about not making progress in their work, charges should be reduced" the king spoke out during the meeting, but someone stepped out and spoke " but your majesty, these days imports are expensive, overseas, reducing charges it's a little bit,,,"
" then send exports, so that you can charge overseas instead of making the country suffer" the kings said and he continued giving orders " from now on hire more people to work, make space for them, reduce charges and also young people should be working " he said,
After the meeting Sir mun and others went to discuss while having tea
" the king is being too soft,,,how can the country develop if we reduce charges " one man said, but in that moment, a guard came and whispered to sir mun, after the guard leaving,sir mun said to them " just do as he says,,,,", the men looked in disagreement, but he continued " the person who helped dangali village is from denali city,"
the men were in shock " denali?,,, why would a random person help people like that,,, it doesn't make sense " man 2 said
"The former assistant of doctor Han lives there, and that's where the person was living and it's a woman" sir mun said,
The were all shocked " a woman,,, that's unbelievable,,,,,"

You,,,, carry these and take them to the library" while he was talking, someone entered, when he looked closely he quickly bowed for greetings and respect " Royal guard shik,,' he quickly told others to bow too" what are you doing, pay respect to him,", guard shik and officer willy went to have a chat " I didn't know I would ever see you again guard shik, but am glad you are back and fine" Willy said, shik sighed and looked at him as he replies " thank you for working hard, officer Willy, you kept your promise of protecting the palace and the people, after these years it looks better "
Willy with gladness and happy tears " thank you guard shik,,,, I'll continue doing my best"
guard shik smiled and he removed a paper and handed it to officer Willy " find for me that man", officer Willy opened the paper and saw a young man(seff) " this,,, this man looks young, who could it be"
" it doesn't matter who he is, just find him and bring him to me safe" guard shik said
