➷(15) STRANGE INTERACTIONS

"Did Uk not know how he lost his spirit plaque?" The leader asked.

"Maybe someone sold it after he dropped it, and that is how those men got hold of it. " Dang-gu suggested. "I heard there was such a place where they sold such plaques."

"Keep tracking his Spirit Plaque." The leader said.

"Yes." The three of them said.

"How...is Uk doing?" The leader hesitated to ask.

"He's being reckless as always." Da-hye said. That's what Uk wanted the leader to know.

"He has yet to unfasten the binding bracelet." Yul added.

"You may go." The leader dismissed them.

Da-hy was going on her daily walk. Sang-ho was going with her. It was annoying to have someone go with her.

"Where do you want to go today?" Sang-ho asked.

"I want to go to Chwiseonru." Da-hye said. "I am hungry."

"All right." Sang-ho smiled faintly. "Let us go."

"I like the weather today. It's nice."

"Yes." Sang-ho agreed. They kept walking in silence for some minutes.

"Sang-ho." Da-hye paused and looked at Sang-ho. "Have you ever experienced love for someone?"

"Romantic love?" Sang-ho asked. Da-hye nodded her head in response. "I don't think so." he said.

Da-hye put her hand on Sang-ho's shoulder. "I feel sorry for you." She said, while continuing on walking.

"What?" Sang-ho asked puzzled, he trailed behind her.

"Should I set you up with Ju-wol? Perhaps you prefer Cho Mi-hi." Da-hye pondered, a smile slowly forming on her face.

"That's not necessary." Sang-ho said. "I have someone else on my mind."

Da-hye's eyes went wide. "Who? Tell me!" She clinged onto Sang-ho's arm.

Sang-ho smiled. "It's not important." He spoke softly. "By the way, I heard that all of Uk's energy seeped into his hand."

"Yes. He has to wear a binding bracelet, if not his hand will get out of control." Da-hye explained. "If he does show up to the duel, that's his only chance of winning. However, there is one flaw. It's his hand doing the movements for him not him doing them."

"Uk's swordsmanship is terrible without his hand controlling him. And with his hand controlling him, his movements are sloppy."

"So, the chances of him winning are very low?" Sang-ho asked as they arrived at Chwiseonru.

"Indeed. The Crown Prince.....his swordsmanship is great." Da-hye paused for a few moments, she felt like her heart was beating faster. "He is both more trained and skilled than Uk." Da-hye commented, right when the Crown Prince had spotted her and Sang-ho.

"Park Da-hye." Da-hye heard the Crown Prince's voice. She sighed, why did she have to see him right when she was talking about him?

"Look who is here." Sang-ho whispered to Da-hye, a mischievous smile forming on his face. Da-hye turned to look at the Crown Prince.

"I didn't expect to see you today." The Crown Prince said. Sang-ho and Da-hye both bowed their head. It seemed like Da-hye did not want to speak to the Crown Prince. "Why are you here?" The Crown Prince asked trying to start a conversation.
