Diary Entry - Eundeok Married Life (Baekhera) [COMPLETED]

Day One

Eun's diary

We're now settling down in this small inn in a remote town up in the mountains. The moon is full and bright tonight, so bright that it could be mistaken as the sun! The air outside the capital really is refreshing, I'd like to live here forever if I could! I should be thankful that we rode on horses – if I were to walk the distance today, I'll surely be dead by now. Soondeok's really fast on the horse, we raced each other when we were on the fields – she won of course. But that's only because I started late! I swear, if we ever race again, I will surely win! After all, I'm a man! I may not be good with swords and things, but I sure am good on horse! I won't go easy on her next time. She's outside chatting with the innkeeper now, thanking them for the meal and so on. I don't get it, why should we thank them when we actually paid for it? It's not like we get it for free, and frankly, the meal is very simple – if there's anything I miss from the capital, it's the food.

Now, for my plan to escape, I'll first need to reach the East sea, which is where we're heading, and at the ports there, I should be able to find myself a ship to the middle lands like Liang or Yan easily. I'll just tell Soondeok to buy something in the market while I get on the ship and head away! Perfect plan, don't you think?

Soondeok's diary

What a day! It feels so awesome to see lots of trees again! I just love to listen to the sounds in the mountains – birds, boars, monkeys...I swear I've even heard a bear! We're heading to the East sea, Eun suggested it, and I think it's absolutely marvellous! I'd like to see the sun rise in the morning...myself if not with the prince. Speaking of which, the prince told me to call him husband when we're on the trip since we can't let anyone know who we are. Of course, that's in a way telling me to not talk to him at all...I mean, how can I bring myself to call him that? I can't even utter it under my breath, let alone calling him 'husband' or 'honey' out loud! I'll just keep silent for as much as possible. Perhaps it'll be better if he calls me honey or wife first...which I doubt will ever happen. But, who knows?
