Chapter 4 - Ch 4

As his majesty Yi Min took his throne, a chorus of greeting rang out

" Long live his majesty, long long live his majesty".

Accepting the greeting the court session was officially started.

At first East prime minister and West Prime minister proceeded the session with issues in entire nation from droughts in some area, to minor brawls were all mentioned including the new marriages happening in the capital and their impact on the current court officials.

At the conclusion when it felt there was nothing to discuss, A small general moved out, his name was Wu Mang and he just received his own battalion to govern

" Your majesty, a great victory was achieved by General Shin againg Great Liang. Though he lost his main arm. He succeeded in maintaining the control over black caves. As of Prince Chen he is still missing and his search is ongoing ".

A kind smile was present on the rulers face though the small twitch of his hands was noticed by Dak Shin

He moved to his knees honouring the person sitting on the throne

" Thank you for your grace your majesty. It was your blessings that made this war simple and easy to achieve".

Making his own efforts mineal brought the smile on face of His majesty.

" Dear General, you are the true warrior of our dynasty and though it was a loss for your hand but we established the honour of our kingdom because of your efforts. Ask what you desire. This king will try to make it possible".

Previously whenever asked, General Dak Shin always rejected the rewards claiming that it was his majesties grace that made the victory achievable.

But today bowing his head but with a stubborn tilt of his chin. General Dak expressed his wishes

" First your majesty, kindly allow me to surrender my military madallion to his majesty. As I no longer deserve to carry this burden with the condition of my body.

Second, Kindly allow me to take sanctuary in the Saint Vinayakaten monestry. Till I recover the pain in my heart through meditation.

Third, I have decided to make my own family so that this dark times could be passed with ease. Kindly allow me to marry Minister of Rites Go Kang's Eldest daughter Go Min-Hwa".

Silence descended on the hall it was considered impudence to ask for all these wishes in front of entire court like that.

His majesty Yi Min, looked at his impudent General.

Though he wanted to reject but the military madallion was something even he wished to achieve.

This would help him to achieve many things from gaining control in huge army to placing his spies in main position.

This well served platter was difficult to be rejected.

Still he grumbled " I need to ask your opinion my dear Minister Go".

Go Kang bowed his head " I need to think about this matter kindly give me time to think your majesty ".

Nodding the court was officially over as each minister presented smile to each other to maintain the facade of relationship among them.

General Wu bowed his head to General Shin.

Who only looked at him deeply as he made his move out of the court his back looking still broad and powerful to all those who looked in it
