Tae Eul slowly opened her eyes. She saw several guards running towards them, and heard them say, "Pyeha !"
"I command the Royal Guards to take ten steps back." Lee Gon said and the guards immediately retreated at his order and bowed down.
"You too Yeong. She seems too shocked." As he said, Tae Eul's eyes widened as she recognized the man he called Yeong. "Is he-?"
"Yes. In your world, he's Eun-Sup." Gon answered calmly. Now their situation was reversed.He had experienced it and he can understands her confusion.
He leaned a little closer to whisper in her ear. "See? I was right wasn't I?"
Tae Eul, still overwhelmed by the things happening, turned to face Lee Gon. He continued saying-
"I am the King of the Kingdom of Corea. And my name, which you cannot say, is Lee Gon."
He din tell her, his name when he is in her world because he thinks that his name is not supposed to be called. She doesn't need to know unless she had become a part of HIS world. His name has no value in her world. Now that she is physically in his world, and literally a part of his world he let her know his name.
"So, you do have a name. If you really have a name, I guess there's no way to avoid a beheading now."
Tae-Eul was coming in terms with the things happening and he told her name which means what he said to her is true. And what he said, for talking down to him since their first meeting, he told her she will be beheaded for that. She did remember what all he said..!! on hearing her reply Lee Gon laughed. Jo Yeong and the royal guards looked at him. They were surprised by their King smiling playfully with a women. He continued saying then-
"From the way you talked to me so far, it's only right to behead you right away."
Yeong cut in, On seeing guards looking at them curiously. "I'll escort you to the palace."
"Let me take care of Maximus first. The trip has been too long for her age. Come to the racetracks." Lee Gon said and charged Maximus.
_______________________________________
In the racetracks, Tae-Eul checks her mobile for signal while Maximus is checked by Royal vet, who address the horse as Lady Maximus. She tells herself quite loudly "A horse is called a lady.." wondering what's happening. When Royal Vet left, Lee Gon turned to look at her saying, "I told you so. Everything I said to you was true, wasn't it?" He was enjoying this current situation mesmerized by her presence in his world.
Tae Eul retorts saying, "Don't you see that's driving me crazy? If this is all real, it's terrifying. And if its not, that means I'm crazy."
Jo Yeong tells her to watch her manners she felt irritated and tells that she was supposed to be on her side like he was since three years old. She then asks him "Is that gun real? Can I take a look at it" while Reaching for his gun, he blocked her hand.
