Sunlight shown through the window; morning has come. Su-Jin got up from her bed. She was feeling very happy today since she gets to explore more, but it made her a bit sad that Ah-ro was not going to be with her. She was sitting at the edge of her bed, looking out the window. Su-Jin sighed and got up after a few minutes. She went to get ready and freshen up before going down to the main room.

After washing up and getting dressed, Su-Jin went downstairs to meet with her parents. When she got to the throne room, she saw her parents sitting on their thrones, waiting for her.

She looked at them before bowing and greeting them.

"Mother, father", she said then bowed at 90 degrees.

The king and queen stopped talking to one another and acknowledged their daughter.

"Ah, hello, Su-Jin. Are you ready?", asked the king.

"My things are packed already, but I have not eaten breakfast yet...", answered Su-Jin.

"Oh, well, come, let us all eat first before you go on your journey.", said the queen.

Su-Jin nodded and followed her parents into the dining room. They had their breakfast and finished it quickly. After finishing their food, the princess spoke up,

"Shall I get going now?", she asked, a hint of enthusiasm in her voice. She was excited to wander around outside.

"Wait", said her tearing mother as she walked towards Su-Jin and hugged her tightly. "I'll miss you my baby girl", she added while crying.

"Eomma, I'm 20! I can handle this", Su-Jin hugged her mother back.

The king joined them and they group hugged. The hug lasted for a few minutes before they let go. They went to her horse which was already armed and packed with equipment, water and food. The king tapped Su-Jin's shoulder;

"Yes?", she asked while turning around.

"Here, you will need these to protect yourself", he said and handed Su-Jin two swords and a bow and arrow. The queen went near them and said;

"Oh, and do not forget these", she reminded her daughter while giving Su-Jin her coat and mask.

"Kamsahamnida, eomma, appa", she thanked her parents and bowed. She got on her horse (a/n: i typed 'jhorse' at first wtf) and put on her coat and mask. She turned to her parents and nodded at them. They nodded back, gave her one last smile and waved.

She ordered her horse to go. A few seconds later, her mother shouted;

"Su-Jin-ah! Be careful!".

And with that, Su-Jin rode away from the palace and started her journey, not looking back.
