"My lady?"
I heard him ask after my eyes left him to continue what i was busy on, completely forgetting about my hair which was buried in the mud.
I tugged at it.

"My hair"
"My hair" i cried.
'Doha will strangle me for this'
'And what was his Majesty doing through all this struggle.
'staring at me', when he has contributed greatly.
If he had not unfold my hair things would have been a lot easier'
I moulded a fist full of mud from behind me.

"Your Majesty?"

"Ehmm?"

"Can we forget about training for today?"
"You know it is quiet late"
He lifted the robe and placed it on my back, he pulled my hair from behind it.

"We will have to"he replied.
He lifted me up completely with both hands.

"Your Majesty?"

"What?Do you want to walk bare foot?"
He tossed me up to adjust to my weight.
"Or worst go back to get them"
Then he smiled, he actually smiled.
Then i remembered the mud that was seeping out from between my fingers.

"Your Majesty i still don't understand why you don't have a beard"

"I don't understand either"

"Chin mae doesn't have too, maybe it is hereditary"
He halted in his steps and i felt his body stiffen.
'I knew i got him right there'

"What?"
I restrained my laughter with giggles.

"Now stay still, i will help you"
I scooped a part of it to my other hand.

"What is that?"he asked not knowing what is coming his way.

"Don't worry it will work like magic"

The King's POV.
I was walking fast, so were able to reach the main palace in no time.

"Your Majesty i still don't understand why you don't have a beard"
She asked changing the topic completely.

"I don't understand either"
'I really don't'

"Chin mae doesn't have too, maybe it is hereditary"
'Hereditary? Meaning i will never...'

"What?"

"Now stay still, i will help you"
She extended her palm and there was something on it.

"What is that?"

"Don't worry it will work like magic"
She lifted both hands and pasted it on my cheeks.

"What.."
I felt the coolness of the mixture.
'Mud'
I closed my eyes and swallowed.
"Yoo hwa"
"I will drop you"
I noticed some guards walking awkwardly, side ways.
"I will really drop you"

"Not in front of.."

"Your Majesty!"
One of the eunuchs said.
"Over here! We have finally found his Majesty"
About a dozen of maids and Eunuchs raced down the steps to the inner palace.
I and my lady exchanged urgent looks.
She swiftly raised the robe's collar to cover her face and i turned to the opposite direction.

"Drop me, i will run away"

"They will chase you"
To the end of the world if they can.
I pulled the robe to properly cover her uniform.
Who knew this big 'wings' as Yoo hwa calls them, can have an advantage.
"Use your hair to cover your face"
"And can my lady rub off the mud on my face?"

"Well..my hands are dirty too"
'Alright, let's just face it like this'

I turned and they were all facing the wall with their heads down, i was able to climb up the stairs through the huge door and down the second steps with ease.
But one question remained unanswered.

"So my lady, where do i take you?"
