Chapter Twenty Nine- The Plot

​Chapter Twenty Nine- The Plot

Still in the Past...

The next day, Tae Jun finally found the origin of the dragon statue.

It had been commissioned by King Jang Seung Jae, one of his ancestors, nicknamed: The bloodthirsty King.

Unfortunately, his victory was cut in half by the fact that there were no records stating why the statue was erected...

Still, he was pretty pleased with himself.

Tae Jun had wanted to delve deeper into the mystery, but Omma Mama had summoned him and introduced him to a 'strange girl.'

"Tae Jun-ah... Enough of this burying yourself in the library." His mother had begun, after he had bowed and settled in.

For now it was just the two of them.

She poured him some tea.

"But Omma Mama-." He had wanted to protest after she had spoken, but she calmly raised a hand.

"I and Jeonha are satisfied with the answers you have found already. With this, you have solved a part of the mystery..."

Of course, she and the King already knew everything he had found, but they weren't going to tell him that! She handed him the cup, lightly caressed his cheek, then continued.

"Today, Omma Mama wants you to meet someone. Make Omma proud, uh?" She said, automatically straightening his outfit. Then she looked toward the doors.

"Yoon E-ah! Send her in."

"Ye, Mama." The Palace Head Maiden responded, just before sliding the doors open.

A little girl walked in, heading toward them and performing the customary bow.

"Greetings, Jung Jeon Mama. Seja Jeoha. I am Lord Kim Dae Hyeon's daughter, Kim Da Yeong." She had politely stated, still bowed.

Tae Jun eyed the wide eyed little girl.

He found the introduction a bit funny as, in his mind, he was already quite grown up, and the little girl was so childish!

Tae Jun only had one female friend he was close to...

Then there was another one, who tried to follow him as often as possible... She was about the same age as the one in front of him.

Either way, to an eleven year old boy, it was a nuisance.

He did not need another child following him around.

"Omma Mama-."

"Omo! She is adorable..." His mother was already saying, and he looked at her in disbelief.

His mother stood up suddenly.

"Tae Jun-ah. Omma Mama will quickly go somewhere. Stay and discuss at length, okay? Yoon E-ah!"

Before long, his mother had left them alone, leaving with her maidens.

Only his eunuch and a few guards remained outside.

Now he and the little girl sat across from each other.

Wanting to show he was far ahead of her, he cleared his throat, breaking the silence.

"Ahem! What family did you say you were from?" He picked up his cup, flicking his wrist stylishly and taking extra care to do it perfectly.

Then he nearly dropped the cup when she responded.

"Tch! I introduced myself not so long ago... Did Seja Jeoha already forget?"

"Mueo?!" He demanded, slamming the cup down, but she was no longer listening to him.
