The warrior shouted as Jihak walked into the room with Eunha in his arms.

“It’s a misunderstanding! Prince!”

His voice was so loud that Jihak frowned.

She felt self-conscious due to the attention directed at her, so she asked him to put her down. But he pretended he didn’t hear her and opened the door.

“The wounds are healed. No need to apply ointment.”

“It’s up to me to decide.”

“I don’t think it’s a good idea for people not to see like that.”

“No one can reproach me for anything.”

Eunha’s cheeks warmed as she clicked her tongue.

He placed her on the bed.

Now that scabs had formed on the small wounds on her body, her bruises had faded considerably. And yet he still wanted to apply ointment.

Eunha stepped back as far as she could, she didn’t want to take off the chima jeogori this time. He left the room with a smile, then returned with something wrapped in silk.

She looked at what he brought with a puzzled expression.

When he removed the luxurious sheath with an embroidered black dragon, a dagger appeared. In addition, the dagger blade was engraved with a roaring tiger.

Its appearance was so unique that anyone could tell it was valuable. He held out the dagger to her. She gently grabbed it.

“It’s yours.”

“Really?”

She was so surprised that she dropped the dagger. Jihak, who frowned, again handed her the dagger. This time, she gripped the hilt quite tightly.

“So don’t run away now. Got it?”

“Lord…”

“It is necessary.”

She looked at the dagger. The light through the window reflected off the dagger.

He couldn’t trust people, so he pretended he was blind. Also, no one in the house was allowed to have weapons, except for some circumstances.

Suddenly, he brought his head close to Eunha’s face.

“I hope you don’t plan to cut off my head.”

“How can you say such a thing? Besides, I don’t need a dagger.”

“You will need it.”

“Why do you think that?”

“Well… I don’t want someone else to kill you.”

Several answers came to her mind, but none seemed right.

His lips touched her eyelids.

He knew that every time he acted like that, her heart was pounding. There were moments when he brought his ear to her chest, then tickled her foot to listen to her heartbeat.

She wanted to tell him how painful it was to have a racing heart, but she didn’t know how.

Just as she expected. A large hand reached into the jeogori to gr@sp her ch3st.

“The day is to look for clothes in the store.”

When he heard Yuljae’s voice from outside, he pulled his hand away from Jihak.

“I forgot, would you like to go with me?”

Eunha picked up the dagger that had fallen to the floor.

“Go with Gari. I’ll assign you an escort, so don’t escape anywhere else.”

“Are you sure? Can I go with Gari?”

“And with an escort.”

“Thank you! Thank you Jihak!”

Eunha smiled more radiant than ever. She seemed very happy to get away from him. He felt his irritation rising, but he had things to do here today.
