Bonds and Boundries

Chapter 2

Amber POV

We kneel as we entered the king's quarter.

“Get up” said the King

The guy with the white hair was standing behind him.

“I owe you guys my life” he said

“Your Majesty, it's our duty to protect you”

“I really like you guys, you are still so young but already so talented and dedicated. General Song, you have to take good care of both of them, train them well”

A trainer bowed.

“Leeteuk, remind me to send my greetings to Governor Liu in Daebudo, thanking him for raising his children so well”

The white hair guy nodded.

“And you guys, what kind of reward do you want?”

“We don't want any, Your Highness”

“Actually, I do have a request, Your Majesty” I heard Soojung's voice

What is she doing???!!

“Oh, Ms. Liu, tell me, what do you want?”

“Well it's... it's kinda selfish. It's just... I...”

“It's ok Ms. Liu. You can tell me”

“Well, is it possible if I get to share room with my brother?”

I think I know what she's up to... I bowed deeply and said

“Your Majesty, my sister just wants to protect me. I am short and skinny. As we were in Daebudo the other boys always tease me because of it. That's why she...”

“Hahahha, Mr. Liu, I don't see why you should be ashamed of yourself. You might be shorter than the rest of the boys, but you are far more talented than most of them. But I'll grant your wish. General Song, let them have the small house on the back.”

General Song bowed “As you wish, your Majesty”

“Listen, the house is not big, it only has one room, a small bathroom and a living room, I expect you to have your meals with the others and spend most of your time with them”

“Thank you for your kindness, Your majesty”

“I expect great things from you guys” he said, pat me on the shoulder and left.

Trainer Song brought us to the small house, even if it's not much, i'm happy not having to share the bathroom with the boys. And I get to live with Soojung.
