" this tea is a western tea, it's only rare to find, but the taste and the feeling it's worth to be rare" sala's father said to sir mun
Sir mun took a sip and said " it has a good taste "
" I can't believe time goes by quick, and soon the prince will marry, and everything seems to be on a good side " he said also looking at the weather, and he continued " I heard the king didn't only give position to guard shik, and recently he seems to be closer with him I wonder why he came back, after the queen's death he never came back,,,,,is the king trying to do something,,,,I think we must find out what he's up to "
After a while sir Mun went, on his way he passed to another place around sila village , he looked around to see if nobody is looking, then he met someone " sir", the bowed to him as they went to have a chat,
" sir am sorry I was late" the man said
" it's alright, I just needed to know, how is it going with that deal, those people might never find out, and after the deal is done kill everyone involved " sir Mun said to a man, referring to the illegal trading as their deal.
" yes sir,,,, and recently one of our men found someone who was searching for li, but then when he followed him to dangali he found his wife" a man said
Sir mun was a little shocked and asked " who is that man? why would he be looking for li"
" I don't know yet, but he's been searching around about the mask, and he wanted information from the woman too, but our man killed her before she could talk" a man said
Sir mun stood up " alright find that man, bring him too me,,,,in all possible ways"
• maybe he knows about the queen's death,,,but why•
Prince Jo Ahn was passing by, with his side maids including haru, on their way they met guard shik, he bowed for the prince, while they were going he stared at haru as he passed, he stopped for a moment • have I met him before•
but he didn't mind a lot and continued, he reached at bureau office, Willy quickly stopped to greet him, and they went on to have a chat,
" am sorry,,,, that night I got attacked by a thief and I couldn't find more,,,, but am sure if you give me more time I'll find him since he's in the village " officer Willy said being apologetic
" it's alright,,,, I trust you, but the sooner the better ," guard shik said •I must find you my brother,please keep his highness safe•
Prince Ahn went to visit his mother her highness sala, they were sitting outside enjoying the weather, also drinking some tea,
" mother how have you been,," prince Ahn said
Sala put her mug down and smiled at prince Ahn " am good my son, am happy you came,,,I was busy these days, ", she then looked in the direction where haru was standing and she continued talking " I heard that these days you are doing a lot of things,"
" yes mother am trying my best, and also reading a lot and practicing " Ahn said
Sala smirked " that's why all the maids talk about you, and how you got defeated by your guard, isn't that too much "
Prince Ahn looked a little shocked " ahh! about that we were just having fun, don't worry "
She looked straight into his eyes " do you realize this is not time for fun, shouldn't you be preparing for your future and knowing about politics, how are you even going to deal with that, if you start playing around,you say the king doesn't recognize you,,,, because you can't do anything"
Ahn was silent and after he said " am sorry mother, I'll try to do good", sala stood up " starting from tomorrow, your lessons will change, no more playing around", and then she left.
Ahn stayed there and he suddenly sighed, and he was also angry.
