The doctor had finished the treatment for Jennie, but the girl was still awake, gritting her teeth to bear with the pain. 

This was the first time she did something so reckless and purposely let the enemy hurt her to wound him. Despite she was controlling the place of the wound, it was still a deep wound where she felt extreme pain.

When the doctor had finished cleaning up his things, the door suddenly opened and a young man appeared. 

The doctor wanted to stop him, but he already walked to the bed and looked toward Jennie with worry filling his eyes.

Jennie's eyes opened slightly and she could faintly see the silhouette of a young man, a man that sometimes she thought about whenever she looked towards the Ming Kingdom. Her mouth opened slightly and she whispered the man's name.

"...Lisa..."

Lisa was startled to hear his name. If not for his excellent skills, he won't be able to hear that nearly inaudible voice.

"I'm here."

How did he manage to arrive here? Jennie's brain was working again for a moment, but sleepiness hit her as she drifted to sleep.

Lisa knew that Jennie had already fallen asleep. Looking at the slightly torn dress and her pale face, he felt that his heart was crushed. 

He thought that she would be safe in the Mountain Kingdom, away from the war only participating as the strategist. But unexpectedly, Jennie could not stay quiet and came to the Yuan Kingdom at the most unfortunate times.

He was afraid of losing her. Meeting her again after several months, will he lose her? That thought made him filled with fear. He quickly turned towards the doctor.

"How is she, doctor?"

The doctor knew that the two of them must have recognized each other from the way Lisa looked at her. He sighed in relief at that realization.

"The wound is deep, but it's not life-threatening. It's just, there will be a scar."

The tone of the doctor was regretful. What kind of woman would want their body riddled with scars? From her times on the battlefield, Jennie was already being careful enough to not get any scars, though there were still some unavoidable scars.

Lisa also knew that. He didn't want the girl's body to have a scar either. The pretty girl on the bed was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Scars were for men and not for women, that was what he thought as he looked towards the girl on the bed.

"Is there no way to erase the scar?" he said with hope.

The doctor shook his head. "I'm sorry."

It was not the doctor's fault. Lisa let the doctor leave when he felt the presence of Jisoo coming. He frowned. Jennie was not wearing her veil today and her face looked exceedingly beautiful. He didn't want anyone other than him to see it.

Before Jisoo could come in, he kicked the other party at the door and locked it, preventing anyone from entering.

Outside, Jisoo held his stomach with a grimace. That Lisa was truly ruthless; he didn't bother holding back when kicking.

"Jackson, you better not get in. That man would butcher you if you did," Jisoo pointed to the door.

Jackson nodded repeatedly. This time, if even Jisoo felt that much pain from being kicked out lightly, he would surely be beaten up black and blue by the other party. He didn't want to feel pain for hours for no reason like that. After all, the situation here was quite serious.

Chan walked to the door. "Young man, you better open the door."

Lisa didn't want anyone to enter, but thinking about their relationship that was still not official, it was indeed unwise to stay together inside the same room. If people were to gossip around, the one who suffers would be her. With reluctance, he walked to the door and opened it.

Chan walked in while the other two hurriedly scrammed from the place before Lisa said anything to them.

Looking toward his granddaughter, Chan sighed in relief when he noticed that her breathing was still normal. She might look weak now, but she will surely recover from this. He felt really pained to see the girl hurt so much like that.

Lisa picked a seat and looked at Jennie from that place. The battle was still in the middle, there was no sign of it reaching the end soon. But he already wanted the war to end soon, so he could spend his time with her.

Lisa smiled wryly. Even at this time, he seemed to only think about how to end the war quicker to spend more time with the little girl.

"Lisa," Chan said without looking at him. "Are you serious about my granddaughter?"

Lisa didn't expect Chan to ask him that question out of the blue, but he was still calm. If that question was directed to him before the imperial party in the Ming Kingdom, he won't be able to answer it. However, now he already has the answer.

"I do."

Two words were said with complete determination. Chan sighed deeply. Should he let his granddaughter in his hand? 

He was already old and he can no longer match with the little lass' wits and mind anymore. It will be better if she has someone replacing him to protect her and treasure her.

"I see," Chan's reaction was a dull one. He should have expected so when he found out that this young man invited Jennie to see his soldiers on the border. No rational man would want his secret out, except for the person he trusted the most.

And that person for Lisa is Jennie.

Should he tell him about the true plan of the Kim Family? Jennie didn't seem to reveal that she is Jayn to Lisa. He didn't want to interfere with his granddaughter's love life as he did with his daughter.

"If you hurt her, I will chase you even to the end of the world."

Those words were the same as accepting their relationship. Lisa felt happy, but he didn't show it outside as he replied with a solemn face.

"She is the only person I love in my lifetime, I would never hurt her."

Hearing that declaration, Chan almost choked on the air.
