The General's POV.
There is a ditch surrounding the palace from a distance and a single wide bridge across it, with a few soldiers normally guarding it. And very fortunately it wasn't the only bridge, there were small wooden bridges covered completely by hips of sand on the ditch, all we had to do was lift them up.
I ordered men who can lift the hidden bridges to lie covered in the sand because we made survey of enemy soldiers roaming in pretentious ignorance around the single known bridge.
We waited in parchments in the capital because we will draw the enemies attention, if they were to survey the surroundings of the palace it will reassure them we know nothing of it.
I ordered the first group to go ahead after i learnt of their use of bolts to storm the gate so that every soldier will retreat from it.
They paved a path for us to cross over or run the enemy over by lifting the bridges for our horses.
Du ho gave me a curt nod to go ahead and i returned his greeting.
We raced through the single path to the palace passing through the few trees and fresh grasses.
From a distance i could see they were using a huge log of wood to break down the gate and they blocked the arrows pouring down on them with their shields, protecting each other as predicted.
And just as it was hard to get to them it was even harder to break down the gate.
After i am done with them it will take Ahn hyun ki a long time to raise another army capable of harming the future of this nation.
"A surprise attack, defend yourselves"
'That took them long enough'
They created a line to the direction of our racing horses.
I raised my sword holding firm to it's tilt.
"Attack!" i roared.
And gladly, off with the heads of whoever harbors an ill feeling towards the Queen of this nation and thank the heavens who gathered them in a suitable place.
Yoo hwa's POV.
We sat down on our chairs after the wedding and crowning rites to accept the greetings and swearing of allegiance.
Yeon woo and Ji ae were the first to move forward.
"Congratulations your Majesty"
Directing to me.
"Congratulations your Majesty"
They knelt with bitterness on their faces.
"Long Long Long live the King and Queen"
They crossed their hands on the red carpet and bowed to put their foreheads on it.
The Queen dowager and Royal mother walked down in line.
"Congratulations your Majesties"
"Long Long Long live the King and Queen"
They bowed deeply as they should.
Prince Chin mae and someone his age who has to be the third Prince came forward.
"Congratulations your Majesty"
"Congratulations your Majesty"
"Long Long Long live the King and Queen"
They kowtowed too.
Then my Father and the right prime minister made their entry, then the rest of the officials all together.
Then the Envoys from Baek je, Shilla and gaya extended their Congratulations and presented their gifts.
Later after the news of the attack on the palace spread, his Majesty told everyone to remain calm and continue the ceremony as scheduled, and why wont they when he will be protecting the gates himself.
Even though his Queen wants to join in, she finds herself in a rather difficult position.
