Yuna caught him staring at her for a long time. She wondered, “What are you thinking about so deeply?” Eunho was caught off guard. He was too immersed in his thoughts; he forgot that she was right in front of him. He responded, “It’s nothing. By the way, why did you fall off the wall? Where are you going?”              Yuna thought it would be better to let him know, especially since he was going to protect her in the future. Her eyebrows scrunched up when she thought about her kidnappers that failed. She answered his question, “I wasn’t trying to run away or anything. Why would I? This is my own home. There were a couple of maids that were trying to take me somewhere. I have no clue. They couldn’t get through the front gates, so they tried to sneak me out over the wall.”           He fro

           It was later decided that Yuna would get proper time to rest after the attempted kidnapping. Eunho was able to get a doctor to take a look at Yuna. The doctor wasn’t too worried about her condition. She had a minor heat stroke. Both Sun and her mother helped her cool down and rest. After her father got home, he decided it would be best for Eunho to stay at their residence to protect Yuna from any danger.           Meanwhile, the Empress was furious with her servants for not successfully following the plan. The servants that had failed the task were killed on the spot to prevent anyone from finding out the mastermind. If any of them were left behind, it would be easy to tell who was behind the attempted kidnapping.           Since her plan had failed and it seemed that Yuna was being protected profusely by the two generals, she had to find another

While Eunho was busy training with the soldiers, Yuna rushed to her father’s room in hopes of catching him before he left for work. She was sure that he would be home since it was still early. Just as she turned the corner, she ran into her father. He frowned at her petite figure on the ground after running into him. She was way too clumsy for her own good. He helped her up and asked, “Shouldn’t you still be in bed? Why are you up so early?” She replied, “I needed to talk to you about something important before you left for work.” He still had a while till he needed to be at work, so he easily agreed, “Then, lets go into my office to chat. I still have a while till I need to be at work.” Yuna sat on the guest seat across from his desk. She didn’t have much time to waste since he had to be at work. She got straight to the point without beating around the bush, “I’d like to rece

          Eunho was hesitant in telling her his requirements to become his student. He didn’t want to see her prove him wrong. He intentionally planned on making the request a difficult one to prevent her from pursuing her goals of becoming his student.             He listed out his requirements, “In order to become my student, I have certain requirements that need to be met. A good martial artist must have a great foundation for the basics. It’s important that any martial artist should have the strength and endurance to continue learning advanced techniques. It may sound like an easy task, but my requirements a bit different. If you’ve been trained by anyone else, it may just be a simple exercise. That is not the case for me.”             Yuna certainly knew that whatever his requirements, it wouldn’t be an

Namjoo was used to living as a male. Her father had always wanted male children to the point of being delusional. He refused to accept that his first child was a female. He forced her to dress up as a male since she was young. She was also an only child. Her mother had passed away giving birth to her. It was only natural for her father to hide her gender. She didn’t have any desire to live the rest of her life as female because she enjoyed the privileges of being male. She lived in a male driven society that looked down on females. She also excelled at martial arts which prevented her from revealing her gender. She wouldn’t mind living the rest of her life without getting married. She’d never expect that her secret would easily be revealed by a little boy. The boy looked suspicious. He had a cloak on that was too big for his size. The only reason why he would dress this way would be to hide himself. The only reason she coul
