Hanjang soldiers were reinforced in the Gamyoung fortress so that the fort was not easily conquered, if the enemy suddenly attacked. General Geem looked closely at the bodies that had been gathered in one place. They will be buried. The general's eyes looked back at the incision wounds that looked the same on every enemy's body.
"Vice Cheon, do you not see how these enemies can be defeated? Before our soldiers arrived, the enemy had been decisively defeated. It's weird, isn't it?" General Geem.
"Let's look at the incision wounds on their bodies. The wounds are exactly the same. Quick, deep and hit the most vatal places on their bodies, so they easily fall. Actually who did this attack, I'm sure this enemy was defeated not an attack from ordinary soldiers." General Geem.
Vice-captain Cheon looked misbehaved, but the general paid no attention to him. He continued to trace the tracks left by the killer.
***
After a few days, the cleaning of the fort was done. Safe, General and vice-captain Cheon return to the main barracks, where a super-tight guard is seen. The General's troops were welcomed by the Prince and physician Jang. Renzai stood there, staring at his father who was returning home. Whispers rang out from the prince's servants, they continued to turn to Renzai who was only indifferent unlike a princess who greeted the father after returning safely after the war.
"Welcome to General. You are very meritorious for retaking Jamyoung Fort." Her speech.
The general only lowered his head, as he could not explain the true situation in front of the people. He had to talk to the prince in secret because this was such important news.
Renzai watched the vice-captain Cheon who was standing next to general Geem. His gaze fell on Renzai, he quickly turned his gaze in fear.
After conversing with the prince, General Geem immediately left and walked towards his daughter. "You're okay here, Renzai? nothing happened?" Said the father.
"No dad, everything's fine, why don't you go inside and get some rest? The waiter will get father's change of clothes." Renzai. The general nodded and exhaled, he was indeed tired after riding.
"You're right Renzai, it's a tiring day, you better get some rest." General Geem went into the tent.
**
Vice Cheon stood alone near the moored horses, he looked agitated and seemed to be thinking so hard.
"What makes you look like you're being threatened by someone, vice-captain Cheon?" Renzai said, he stood beside her while holding her. His face grinned as the man was shocked.
"No Miss, Emm general seemed to suspect the corpses of enemies being killed in the same way, the instink general was very powerful, he could feel something was wrong from the defeat of the enemies. He looks like he's gonna figure out what really happened." His speech.
"Isn't that your responsibility? I order you to cover my tracks, whatever your way, most importantly General Geem doesn't know about me and about the five men." Renzai. His eyes sharply threatened to wakli captain Cheon.
"Well, I'll think of all the ways. But may I know who you really are?" Said the vice-captain. Renzai just curled his lips in a smile.
"Just do what I tell you to do, if you betray. I can find you anytime."
"B-well, I understand." Renzai then left. He looked more nervous than usual. Without him noticing, prince and healer Jang were observing them from earlier. It's not just him. All the servants and the ladies gossiped about their familiarity.
"Who is Doctor Jang?" ask prince.
"Erm, he's a vice-captain, it's been a long time since he served in the fort, I didn't know that he was that familiar with Miss Renzai." Her speech.
Physician Jang walked over and approached vice-captain Cheon, he purposely sat nearby during lunch together. "Welcome back, deputy Cheon." Her speech.
"By the way you're very familiar with the general's daughter." He said as he glanced at the vice Cheon who was suddenly in a scowl hearing his question.
"No doctor Jang, who said I was familiar with the general's daughter, just asked me about the situation of Jamyoung's castle, he did not ask his father because general Geem looked tired." His speech stammered.
Physician Jang chuckles. "You're not good at lying, you know? You guys have secrets, and you don't want to share them with me?" Doctor's Speech. Vice Cheon pretended not to hear it, he turned his face and turned his back.

"Miss Lee Renzai, you are invited to dinner with General Geem and the crown prince, please get ready, we will serve you. This command is directly from the pengeran. Renzai hit the table until a sound came from inside the tent, the servants glanced at each other from outside the tent.
"Lake in." His order.
Four of the ladies entered Renzai's tent. They bowed and saluted.
They work in silence, Renzai's clothes are replaced with beautifully embroidered dresses, creamy and white colors combined with the exquisite embroidery of butterflies on each edge. Renzai hair is long in shape with beautiful and given jewelry, his face was polished with natural makeup that makes it look more beautiful. Renzai looked at his face.
Whatisthis? Why is my face wearing a mask?
"You're very pretty, Miss. Please come this way, we'll take you to the prince's tent." Renzai stared bored at them all.if allowed he wanted to escape alone, but it would later complicate General Geem and in the end will make it difficult for him. Physician Jang also heads to the prince's tent as they cross paths with each other.
"Well, you look different. How about we walk together?" Her speech. Renzai snorted and deliberately ignored him, eager for him to shut that chatty mouth that had been blabbering ever since.
Renzai entered the tent, there was General Geem and the prince and healer Jang. They all looked at him, he bowed his body slightly.
"Sit down Miss Renzai, please sit here." The healer Jang gave a seat to Renzai in front of the prince.
***
"We can't be there, bitch." Hatachi said, he had since noticed what was happening around the prince's tent.
"Now what will happen? What if the prince was attracted to the general, and intended to make her his empress?" Otaru.
"If that happens, I better leave the general's seal open, let him finish off the whole kingdom of Hanjang. It was the first choice I would make, but if it couldn't happen, I better kill the general, and let me go back to being a stone. I won't let that happen as long as I'm alive." Rui.
Tutsima stared at the moon at night, then looked back at Renzai who was sitting among them.
"Why does my heart hurt?" He muttered while holding his chest.
Just then Hatachi and Matsue chuckled, she laughed out loud until it had to be hit by Rui because of their large voices.
"Are you jealous of the General sitting with them?" Hatachi.Tutsima looked at them from a distance.
"As long as we've been Akai and accompanied the General, even once I've never sat like that with the General, let alone dined together, they're fucking lucky." Prattling
"You know what the General is thinking now? Y'all know?" Hatachi. "I can guess. Right now he must be thinking about the word bored, he wanted to get out of that tent immediately. Or someday it'll kill them."
Renzai grinned as healer Jang praised him and said it would be nice if only they met sooner. "General Geem what if I propose to Miss Renzai? After all she wasn't elected crown princess." He was half drunk. General Geem only chuckled at hearing that. Renzai clenched his hands.
It's so boring, I want to get out of this fucking tent. One day I'll all finish them off.
Renzai sipped his drink. When his father was drunk and unconscious. Renzai raised his hand, four guards from outside immediately entered. "Take General Geem into his room." he ordered.
"None right." Renzai stood up, he bowed to the prince for a moment. "Excuse me, prince." Renzai said, Before he got out of the tent, the prince said something.
"Miss Lee Renzai, please sit down first, there is something I want to say to you. Let the soldier take the General to his tent."
Renzai did not say anything, he then sat back in front of the two of them. Renzai's patent cold face continues like that. "Pour the drink in my cup." Speak the prince with his orders.
Renzai's eyes turned to the man sitting in front of him.
"This is an order, if you don't do it, then I will delay your return to the city of Hanjang, your punishment will increase to a month, do you want?" Added.
Renzai grinned with his haughty face he then stood up. "I'd rather be here for a month." Flat talk. Physician Jang widened his eyes, while the head of the lady-in-waiting looked at him in wonder.
"Miss Renzai, sit down and pour the drink now." The healer was stunned by Renzai's choice. Renzai's gaze looked demeaning with a slanted smile on his face. Memories of the past appeared in his mind, their eyes meeting each other. He would not forget that day, the day when the man before him attacked the Gem city just wanted to kill him.
"Here you go, you can go." Prince.
Renzai turned his body, he slowly walked then walked out of the tent. Physician Jang shook his head. "The girl was really stubborn, how could she be the crown princess, of course she made her brother as a shield so that she would not be selected for the selection of the crown princess, he said, even pouring a drink in your cup he won't, let alone being chosen to be your queen." Doctor Jang was very surprised by Renzai's attitude.
