"What are you doing?"
Both Sehwa and Junghee immediately froze in their places when they heard a man's baritone voice suddenly ask from behind them.
"S-Sincerely, your majesty the king."
Sehwa and Junghee fearfully looked over their shoulders to see the owner of the baritone voice. But just seeing the embroidery on the hem of the man's clothes, both of them immediately lowered their heads and hesitated to greet the man, with only Junghee turning to prostrate herself facing the man.
King Munmu...
The man standing before them right now was king Munmu...
Since starting their work at the palace, neither Sehwa nor Junghee have ever met in person with King Munmu, the 30th most powerful king of Silla at this time.
This was because their second position was only nain or training lady who was only given dirty tasks at the back such as washing clothes, wiping floors, and even cleaning horse stables. So of course, in the midst of their work environment, neither of them had the opportunity to see directly the figure of the king of Silla who is most admired by everyone today.
When they first became nain, the first lesson they were taught was about the sacred symbol of the Silla kingdom, namely the dragon. It didn't matter where they were assigned, but every lady-in-waiting was taught that the dragon was a sacred animal with the characteristics of the nine animals that served as the symbol of the Silla kingdom. Dragons also have a wide variety of supernatural abilities: they can control water, fire, wind, and ice; live in the three realms; change form; exhaling clouds; and many others. The Silla people believed that dragons were seen as protectors of the kingdom, a concept that combined the worship of dragons in folk religion and dragons as protectors of Buddhism, as well as dragons as reigning Kings.
In Silla, there was only one person, namely the king, whose clothes, down to the smallest accessories, could be decorated with dragon symbols, and it was obligatory in the palace from any distance that if their eyes saw a man whose clothes had dragons embroidered on them, the ladies-in-waiting had to always prostrate themselves when they met intentionally or unintentionally, as Junghee was doing now. Because just by looking at the shape of the gold thread embroidery on the hem of the clothes of the man who was currently standing in front of them, it was certain that this man was King Munmu.
However, with her current position, Sehwa cannot pay the same respect to the king as Junghee is doing. Because Sehwa couldn't let go of her two hands which were pressing the hairpin stab wound on the neck of Go Jioh, the former princess of the Goguryeo kingdom who has now become one of King Munmu's concubines. Of course, this attitude immediately attracted the attention of King Munmu.
