Wooyoung PV
"Officer Jung Wooyoung!"
I'm about to get on my horse when I see my captain coming out of the barracks yard.
"Capitan Jeong"
I greet him with a bow.
"I see you are leaving"
"Yes Capitan, I can't postpone it anymore"
"I understand, but I have a job for you..I discovered that my held in the countryside is on the way to yours, which is why I want you to bring this to my son, Duke Yunho"
The captain says handing me a letter, which I immediately put in my bag already tied to the saddle of the horse.
"Yes, sir"
I just hope it won't take me too long;
I want to go back to my palace as soon as possible to see my mother.

After hours on horseback, finally I see the Jeong residence in front of me, still a few minutes and I will arrive.
"HELP!!"
I hear the loud screams of a woman,
and looking around I see a horse in the distance running out of control.
"Somebody help me!!"
I am galloping on my horse,
and little by little I approach the figure that I now see as a young girl in elegant clothes.
"Hold on to the reins!!"
I shout, hoping she can hear me.
The chase ends when I flank the girl's horse and grab the reins.
"My god, thank you"
The young woman says between sobs while i help her to get off the saddle.
"Duty, do you live near my lady?"
"Yes, I am Duchess Jeong Yeeun"
The noble girl recomposes herself as soon as she reveals her title.
"Then let me accompany you. I'm headed right to your palace."
"You are?"
"Earl Jung Wooyoung"
I present myself with a slight bow,
and the girl I assume to be my captain's daughter gives me a big smile.
"Sister, finally!! What the hell happened?"
A young man comes down the outer stairs of the held,
and I think that's exactly the person I'm looking for.
"Excuse me Yunho, my horse has run wild... I have to thank Earl Wooyoung."
I bow slightly to the duke who has shifted his attention from his sister to me.
"Then let me thank you properly. Why don't you come inside?!"
"I am sorry to have to reject your proposal but I am in a hurry. I just come to bring a letter from your father."
I say, giving him my captain's letter.
With the Jeong dukes greeted, I finally set off back home.
