i smiled at her highness when she gestured me to eat more

it's sunny afternoon and go won invited me to eat lunch with his parents, the king and the queen.

"it's nice a nice meal. thank you for inviting me," i smiled at them

the king nodded, "you should be comfortable. you'll be part of the royal family soon,"

i nodded and continued eating

"your duel with jang uk is coming, right?" the queen asked

won nodded, "i believe he's not showing up,"

i looked up at him

"it's for him better not to show up than to die in my hands," he continued

i looked away and continued eating. i don't want to hear them talking about this.

jang uk is my friend. i can't believe i'm hearing this.

as we ate turned to the queen's eunuch when he went inside the room

he bowed at us, "there's a soul shifter that had run wild,"

"another soul shifter had run wild?" the king asked

"fortunately, he was caught and died of petrification," the eunuch answered

"and who was this soul shifter," go won asked

"it was — gil-ju, a mage of cheonbugwan"

i saw the queen suddenly dropped her cup. is she perhaps... nervous about something?

"gil-ju had become a soul shifter? then he was caught in cheonbugwan?" the king questioned

"he was caught in front of the palace. he tried to enter the premises after running wild,"

the queen finally speak, "he was on his way here?"

"then a mage suddenly appeared and subdued him by using tansu,"

tansu?
