Not Changing in this Lifetime - chapter 2

The moment when Lee Myung Hee connected with the Hawthorn dagger, he was shocked no less than Kim Sung Yeol,  to the extent that when he was pushed aide and was knocked unconscious by impact, he still could not comprehend what was happening. It was as if in this world, he saw a different brightness, one that was  glaring and searing.  

He slowly closed his eyes. In his mind, something broked through the tight fence, and gave him a dream.

"Following the God's decree, as declared by the Emperor, the Duke of West, Mu Ying, who is brave and fierce, rendering many meritorious services,  and is one of the state's founding fathers, that even I the king so admire, posesses a daughter, Mu Yuan, who is intelligent and agile, elegant and beautiful, respectful and kindhearted, has long lived in the palaced chambers, and possesses easy temperament, class and etiquette, will be coronated as Princess Shumin, and represent me, the King, and go to Goryeo, to show friendship between both states. That's all!"

"This Official, accepts!"

"Honey, don't cry. With more merits, the king's suspicion rises. This is inevitable. Let's hope the best for our children and grandchildren!"

"Yuan, dear. Take care."

"Older sis, don't cry. Goryeo is distant and dangerous. It would be great if I can accompany you."

"But! You're one of the King's bodyguard..."

"Does not matter. Lately with more tasks, dying without a complete body is common. I will have a peace of mind if I accompany you to your new home."
