The day the attack arrived, the defense around the Jangmi kingdom area began to tighten.
In contrast to the atmosphere in the pavilion of princess Lee Yoo Ra, the eunuchs and the pavilion maids were confused looking for their princess.
Currently Yoo Ra is banned from exiting the pavilion let alone out of the palace area because the situation is tense, but he can escape the tight guard because it is no longer ignored, breaking through the guard like the wind, fast and visible.
Escape to the tea shop. Precisely in the hut, apparently the hut that became access to the tea shop was a herbal medicine shop, as well as being Yoo Ra's headquarters that contained weapons such as swords, arrows, even plant poisons.
“Bi Yeon, bring me my black hanbok¹ now!" yoo Ra orders his servant.
“Agassi, you'll look flashy in that outfit, and people can recognize you as a night knight if you wear that outfit. Tell you what, how about a regular look and wear a shabby hanbok with a veil to cover your face."
“Alright, it's up to you. As long as I am not easily recognized, I will easily approach the mafia forces. They're not just mafia, they're part of the Geum empire. I believe the mastermind behind this attack has something to do with the king of Geum, Ahn Jung Hyun.”
"In the meantime, I'll get her clothes ready."
After Bi Yeon picked up the clothes, she looked at Yoo Ra while holding onto something.
The blue thing sparkled, for a moment Bi Yoen asked what it was. However, Yoo Ra replies that it is nothing and immediately hides it.
Yoo Ra had already prepared with his plan, going to that place again in order to find the real culprit.
-
Yoo Ra only carried an arrow, it was already seen that the enemy would slash and ride. Arriving at the teahouse again for a temporary hideout before the attack, the store is only 50 meters from the attack site.
One day before the day of the attack, Jo Hyuk and crown prince Yoo Tae were in the city district to see the activities of the merchants at night, but he gets a letter from his spies who watch over the robbers.
His letter contained that the assault of a dark organization aimed at canceling the acquisition of 2 countries and 2 kingdoms by disrupting marriage, time and everything is included in the letter making it easier for Jangmi to strategize.
Yoo Tae reported to His Majesty the King, then the king prepared his troops for the assailants located in front of the palace gates.
Yoo Ra deliberately eavesdropped on their conversation at the King's palace and had already guessed who was the mastermind behind this organization and attack. The king had made his decision by asking Ha Baek for help as his son-in-law's candidate. Ha Baek agrees and will involve himself and his brother and 20 professional bodyguards.
The time of the attack arrived...
The ambush on the enemy's side begins, half the assassin's entourage is buying time with the Molan's troops, they know that Jangmi's forces are only bait for them, because Jangmi already has a strong shield that is Molan's troops.
Sure enough, 15 men from the Molan army led by prince Go Kyung Bo are still behind the hill and have been attacked which caused 13 bodyguards killed. All that remained were 2 guards behind along with Kyung Bo and 5 superior guards escorting Ha Baek alone.
Ha Baek and his 5 bodyguards left 30 minutes earlier than Kyung Bo's entourage, right now he was about to arrive downtown and immediately headed to the location because he had guessed that this time he was framed.
Jangmi's troops were almost repulsed by the enemy, Yoo Ra hurried by directing his arrow through the 2nd floor of the teahouse by aiming at his target wearing different clothes.
“Usually the one dressed differently is the leader of his army, the target is right," Yoo Ra muttered confidently.
In his place, exactly the one room that he had specially used to look for targets, Yoo continued to be careful and occasionally looked towards the hallway and the room next to him.
The bow was exhausted, but the enemy forces had not been exhausted, even though they had targeted the leader and were killed, the enemy troops continued to attack.
Yoo Ra continues to convince himself that the leader is the head of the enemy forces, but slowly he realizes that this is a trick from them. Turns ...
Clack... The door opens from the outside.
There seemed to be a person in a position ready to swing a dagger to ambush Yoo Ra. Yoo Ra immediately sped up by pulling out a dagger from his scabbard tied to his ankle. He realized it was just a trick. Then, a dagger duel took place in that small room.
“Who are you? You're their leader huh?” yoo Ra said across the table.
“Your guess is right the great gongju-mama². You must be my hostage tonight, your father's power has begun to fall. Your father must give up his power to me but you must live as my consort, OR. You want your country to prosper on condition of your death today too.”.
Negotiations are complicated, but the mafia union leader is also eyeing Yoo Ra's life.
“You are good at recognizing me, take off the mask you wear, so that I know who thirsts for power from my father!”
“Hey... You are good at bidding too yes (with a light but deadly smile), you yourself wear a veil, show first your beautiful face princess. Hahaha..”.
The man's words were disgusting, and made Yoo Ra growled and fed up.
"What's wrong with you? you yourself wear a mask, show me your ugly face."
Yoo Ra's words were a little unacceptable to the masked man, a bit of a grudge with the rudeness Yoo Ra gave him.
The situation is getting more complicated, the enemies are trying to attack the citizens. It was seen the crown prince trying to control the conditions until Molan's troops arrived, seen Ha Baek from a distance with 5 men bodyguards. The crown prince was instantly unsure that they would win this time.
Shut... Ha Baek's sword pierced the enemy troops, conditions began to be controlled by shrinking the number of enemies this time.
“Look at your team now. You're gonna move up? He has come, it is more fitting to be my husband than you are more than this trash!” yoo Ra said without thinking.
“Today I might lose, but who would have thought you should end up here. Your death today will be remembered, hopefully in the next life you are still a mysterious girl from Jangmi. Geez... how ridiculous is your life.. hahaha..”.
To Yoo Ra, he felt that this was his end. Yoo Ra thinks it's better to die fighting for his country than to get married for a politician.
Given that there are only two options at the moment, between dying to avoid marriage, and living a life of misery.
“Hey... don't be confused, with your current death then my grudge will be complete.." said the man.
Yoo Ra had guessed that this was the jerk in front of him.
Little wonder why she has such a grudge on Jangmi's kingdom?
“Then...what grudges do you have that eliminating me is the solution?" ask Yoo Ra.
“Of course there is, and you must not know... Then, you have an object that I could say I need."
