Till We Meet Again

Chapter 21

"That General is really demanding,"

I heard Mina complained while cooking everyone's breakfast. And since we that General came here we have to cook more dishes for him and for his men.

"Why?" I asked her while washing the dishes.

"He wants so many food and you know we are saving our resources since our villagers are also here."

That's right. We need to save more resources for the upcoming war versus the Jug-Eum's kingdom. I still don't know who if Jug-Eum really killed the Princes. And if he is the one who killed Jisoo. Gosh, this is so not exciting!

"Can you bring this to them?" Mina gave me a tray with a lots of food on it. I nodded my head without complaining and immediately walked towards General Chin Hwa. They are already eating on a long table with his men. They are so many and they are so many foods on their table. I was surprised when I saw the King sitting with them. The king is just watching them eat like a bunch of pigs.

I placed the tray on the table then put down the foods that Mina cooked.

"Mine!"

"That's mine you fucking—Oh!!"

I immediately closed my eyes when the bowl of soup poured at my hanbok. I hide my right hand at my back. It's very hot and it just got burn.

"Oh shoot, sorry," the guy smiled nervously.

"It's fine—"

"Let me see." My eyes widened and turned around to the..King. She was staring at me. I don't know if she is worried or mad because she has no emotion at all.

"No worries your highness—" She cut me off by grabbing my right hand at my back. She checked it and it has already a red mark. I bit my lower lip because it's very painful.

"Manoban," she called. Manoban immediately come to her.

"Your highness.."

"Apply cold water and honey on this one." She said. Manoban bowed before assisting me out.

"Ow.. Careful," I bit my lower lip as I felt the pain on my hands.

"Aish. What happened to you? You're like a wet duckling,"

"Stop pissing me off," I rolled my eyes. Manoban chuckled as she applied the honey on it.

"Good thing the King was there," she shrugged.

"Y-Yeah. She helped me." I softly said

"But you know she couldn't do that everyday, that's why you have to be careful while Chin Hwa is here." She said and fixed her positioned. We are here near the river again she was sitting on the ground while me on the rock.

"Is that guy really bad?" I asked curiously.

She shrugged. "I don't know.. but we can't trust him because he hates this kingdom." she pats my back, "Be careful next time. They might suspect that you and the King has a relationship."
