Taealha slammed the door hard, making her baby wake up and cry loudly. She was upset with what happened today, especially to Tanya. The girl seemed to seize everyone's attention.

"Shut up !!!" Taealha shouted to her baby, who instead of being quiet instead cried even more loudly.

"Hae Tuak !!!"

The big woman rushed into the room.

"Shut up this baby!"

Hae Tuak chuckled irritably, "you're the one who started the commotion."

Hae Tuak picked her up and hummed a little to comfort her, but the baby wouldn't stop crying.

"Noisy!"

"You're the noisy one! You're making her even more scared!" Hae Tuak was the only servant who dared to fight Taealha, because long before she became servants, they were best friends since they were toddlers.

"Ouch ... what's up, baby? Why don't you want to stop crying? Are you not feeling well?" Hae Tuak asked the baby, who of course was only answered with a whimper.

"Maybe she's hungry."

Hae Tuak spooned the porridge on her, but instead of being swallowed, the baby vomited instead.

"Oh ... why is she? Taealha, maybe she is sick."

Taealha sighed while rolling her eyes, "Call that woman."

"Who?"

"Who else? The new nurse."

Hae Tuak left after handing the baby to Taealha's arms. She ran to Tanya's room. On the way, she met Saya.

"What is wrong?"

"The princess is sick," Hae Tuak said, continuing to run.

Saya was stunned and immediately ran towards Taealha's room.

Meanwhile Taealha's baby vomited again and hit the woman's clothes.

"Aaahhhh ... what are you doing, stupid! My clothes are getting dirty!" Taealha grumbled while slamming her baby into the bed.

Seeing that, Saya is angry, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING !!!"

Taealha gasped, "You startled me ... Look, she is more crying at your screams."

Saya pushed Taealha and took the baby to his arms. Miraculously, the baby began to calm down, leaving only a small sob. At that time, Hae Tuak came with Tanya.

"What is wrong?"

Saya handed the baby over to Tanya, "she was crying and vomiting, please, check her."

Tanya put the baby to the bed and started checking.

"What did she spit out?"

"Her dinner, porridge," Hae Tuak explained.

Tanya tapped the baby's stomach, "how many days she haven't poop?"

Everyone fell silent and glanced at Taealha.

"I don't know," answered Taealha.

Tanya winced, but ignored her. She came out for a while and returned with a bottle of rubbing oil and crushed leaves. The oil is rubbed all over the body, especially the baby's stomach. The leaves were placed on the baby's head to relieve her fever.

"She has a slight fever and it seems like she hasn't defecated in a few days so her stomach is bloated. So she vomits, because her digestion is not good."

Suddenly a foul odor filled the room.

"Oops ... what's this smell?" Taealha asked.

Tanya checked the baby's diaper and smiled, "finally she took out her poop."

"What? Really? Pooping in my room, especially ... on my bed? Ah ... i'm going crazy ... Hae Tuak, tell the maids to clean and scent this room. Also change my bed with a new one. Tonight I'm going to sleep in Tagon's room," Taealha said as she left the room.

Tanya looked at it while shaking her head, "What kind of mother is that?"

Saya reached for the baby into his arms, after Tanya clean up her butt. The baby has begun to calm down. Her eyes flickered sleepily as she swayed and hummed by Saya. Tanya looked in amazement at the man.

"Why?"

"I've never seen a man hold a baby in my life."

"So poor... this baby, i mean. She was born from the wrong parent."

"No human can choose to be born into a family like what."

Today is the last day Tanya takes care of Tagon because the wound has healed completely.

"Since Niruha has recovered, may I return to Doctor Harim's house?"

Tagon nodded.

"But before that ..." Tanya showed a medal from Tagon.

Tagon gasped, "Ah ... I almost forgot. So, what is your wish? Gold? Gems?"

"I want all the slaves from the Wahan tribe to be freed from slavery."

Tagon rubbed his chin, "that's a very big request. How about this ..." Tagon walked closer to Tanya who kept moving backward until her back hit the wall, "a request of that size ... the reward must also be great."

"Isn't it enough to save your life?"

"Be my person ... be mine ..."

Fortress of fire, a fortress specialized in making bronze weapons. As the name suggests, it will feel hot when entering it. The fort was heavily guarded by Hae tribal warriors because there were too many secrets in it, which even King Tagon himself could not know. And there is one bronze secret that is only known by the descendents of the tribal chief who is now held by Taealha.

The woman came riding a horse that was pulling a cart containing something that was covered by thick cloth. When entering the Fire Fortress, everyone turned around at once and closed their eyes. Whoever is caught seeing it, immediately killed.

Before bringing the secret object to the fortress, Taealha went to The Great Gochiju Coral which beside was the Aramun monument. The Great Gochiju Coral is shaped like a hand holding something. Taealha remembered Mihol's words before he died, "The fingers carved on the Great Gochiju Reef, a symbol of those who caused our tribe to break. Our mission is to prepare for it."

"There are things that cannot be shared. So, there are two choices. We will surrender or take it? I, Taealha, will take it."
