Chapter 7-Revelation

At Yuan's Capital

As soon as he arrived, Tal Tal went to the prison where Haneul was kept. The little girl's body is full of blood and bruises. This sight make his heart aches to imagined this little girl have been through this great suffering at such a young age. He ordered his men to move Haneul to be treated.

One of his men said, "But, sir, she hasn't revealed their names yet."

Tal Tal looked at this soldier and said, "When I order you something. You obey, do I make myself clear?"

Although Tal Tal's men found their General's behavior strange, they still bowed and said, "Yes sir!"

Haneul was carried to one of the room and the physician started to treat her. Tal Tal hopes she wakes up soon and reveals the rebel's names. His uncle won't like his doing to treat the enemy this nice.

Three hours later, Haneul wakes up and she was confused while she sees all her wound already treated and getting wrapped in the bandage. She also awakes in the comfortable bed and not inside the prison anymore. She wonders if this a dream. Suddenly, she heard footsteps from the corridor, she started to feel cautious when she thinks maybe is the Yuan soldiers again and they come to torture her again.

Tal Tal went in and he felt relieved when he sees Haneul was awake.

"I see that you're awake now."

Haneul tried to be brave and asked, "What do you want?"

He was amazed or her braveness, but she realized her fear when he saw Haneul's body trembled. He smirked and ordered his men to bring the boy here.

Commander Park leads Haneul's little brother to the room. Haneul was so shocked when she saw her little brother. Byul cried happily and shouted, "Sister, you're here. I miss you so much. Why do you go for so long?"

He pouted and looked at her sister's eyes. Haneul eyes started to tear up and she comforts him, "I'm sorry, Byul. I need o do some important mission for the sake for both of us."

"Is okay, sister. What's important now that we can meet again, the General and the commander was so kind to me, they were the ones who bring me to you, Sis."

Haneul smiled because he knew that the facts that the Yuan soldiers only agreed to rescue her brother in order to threaten her to reveals the rebel's name.

"Byul, now I need to personally thank the general. Please get outside first, okay?"

Byul nodded and he left with Tal Tal's men.

"Now, you knew that both yours and your brother's life is in our hand, right? Why don't you reveal their names? You don't want any harm come to your brother, aren't you?"

Haneul looked deeply to his eyes, "What thing that you can assure me that once I reveal their names that you won't kill both me and my brother?"

Tal Tal was amazed by this girl's intelligence and replied, "Well, even you don't want too, you don't have no other choice. I can assure you that once you revealed their names, you and your brother will be saved. I give you my word. However, if you choose to lie and stay silent, your brother will pay the price."

Haneul realized that she has no choice, but to reveals their names to save her brother's life. She only can hope that the Yuan's general kept his word. She sighed and said,

"Fine, their general that lead and plan all of the rebellion was called General Wang Yeon. His most trusted men were Commander Ki Jahyun and Commander Jaekhyun. They're the second highest men that held the power. The last one is Commander Minguk, he is the one who trained all the rebellion soldier. Now, I have given all the important names of the rebellion force. Will you keep your word?"

Tal Tal was satisfied with her answer and said, "Don't worry, you have my words."

He went to his uncle room to tell him this good news, finally, they can plan to destroy the rebellion force. It will be easier to plan if they knew who they're dealing with.
