"You don't need to do these chores kongpop, I gave your name for the next royal healer, so pass this to Tew." The current healer's leader who has gotten sick recently said in his shaky voice. Kongpop placed the bag on the table and goes to the bed where the old man is resting.

"I am grateful to you for suggesting my name siren, that's provided me with more reason to visit the prison since that's the place I can gain more experience!" Kongpop surmised to his head.

The old man smiled and nodded his head, he can never win over his favourite student's charming smile. Kong walk back to the table and collected his bag, he gazed at the intruder who is entering with the herbals.

"Tew, we are out of goldenrod and graveolens herbals, make sure you will get it next time." He ordered Tew who bowed his head at him. He asked the latter to observe the royal healer closely and call him immediately if the elder coughed blood.

**********

Kong walks to the corridor accepting the guard's bow with a thin smile, not only the imperial people, every person who works for the king gets respect in this country. Sun land is located on the Northern side. This territory is currently led by Jae, the current king.

This place is enriched with hills and cultivation land, unlike his birth land which is an island in a secluded area. The King, Jae, always makes sure his people don't feel poverty and indifference, that's what kongpop likes most about this capital and the king. Maybe that's the only reason he chooses to stay behind in this country instead of hiding in a shelter far away from his family's eyes.

Kongpop reached the prison and sighed after seeing some of the prisoners lying unconsciously in blood. He slowly entered the cell and start to treat the people one by one. He doesn't care about the status of the person, evil or good, he is a healer so he always does his job dedicated.

Some people who recognised the man smiled at him. Kongpop too passes them a smile, it's been more than a week since he start to visit the prison, it's not his job to start, it's his teacher's but since the elder is sick with an unknown disease kongpop is the one who is taking care of his master's duty.

A royal healer is a single man in his sixties with much knowledge and abilities so no one questioned him when he point his name to the next head. 5 years, that long he served under the current head healer, he never once regretted choosing the elder as his teacher.

That's might one of the reasons he never hesitated to took the responsibility when the man got bedridden, although, he has his hidden purpose too. He turned to the hurried footsteps and saw guards passing his cell dragging a man who look nothing but a corpse.

Kong released another long sigh thinking about the new prisoner's miserable fate. Once he finished his current work, he moved out of his compartment. He walks to the next cell and gasped in disbelief when the guard opened the gate.

"What happened? Who did this to him?" Kongpop asked the guard who jerked uncomfortably by the healer's sudden voice raise, he has no right to reveal things about the prisoner to anyone but the person who stood in front of him is a royal worker who must not be neglected, especially, healers, since they have powers like ministers.

He gulped his lump before whispering in his scary voice, "you might already know about Prince's engagement right sir?" The guard asked.

Kong nodded his head who could forget the big celebration which went past a month in their capital, the whole land was in extreme happiness that the prince is going to get married and will go under inauguration the same day itself, moreover, every royal who attended the function can't forget the enchanting flower boy who stood next to the prince.
