Kang Tae-Jun's P.O.V
"They haven't made a move yet. They should start a commotion in a few days..." A guard of mine told me.
"It is taking too slow....Are we just blocking the river?!" I asked with pure anger.
"Yes, that is what General Su-Jin told us to do" the guard answered.
"Merchants go often to their village. If they purchase water from them, then there is no point of blocking the river....We have to stop them before they reach Fuuga" I said.
"We shouldn't act without the General's approval" The guard said in disagreement.
"Well, make it look like the work of bandits!" I shouted in fury.
The officer flinched:"Why are you so angry Lord Tae-Jun?"
"If I have married Princess Yona, I would've been the next king!" I stated "but then.....I met the beautiful Mayu..." I said softly.
"I am confused Lord Tae-Jun"
"How are you confused??" I asked, still angry.
"I wanted to marry Princess Yona, but now, I want to marry Mayu!" I gritted my teeth "but that Hak just had to be involved!"

Yona's P.O.V
"Tae-Yeon! Tae-Yeon!" I yelled, looking at the little who has fainted suddenly.
The door opened, showing Hak, Mayu, Mun-Dok, and some guards. Mayu went directly to pick up Tae-Yeon.
"He has a weak body. Sometimes, he gets respiratory paralysis"Mun-Dok said and I look at him in shock "Once he takes his medicines from the merchants, he will be fine"
"But the merchants who were supposed to come with Tae-Yeon's medicines, aren't here yet" Hak said.
"Then I will go see" The guard left afterwards.
Then a man came in the room saying that the merchants got attacked and now, they are badly injured.
"Have we really lost our way to have water?" Mun-Dok sighed.
Mayu looks at Tae-Yeon then looks at Hak, with pure worry.
"It must be the work of the Fire Tribe!" Someone shouted.
"Why aren't you doing anything, young lord?" People were questioned Hak and Mun-Dok.
"Han-Dae?? What are you doing here?" I heard Mayu yell.
"I told you to rest Baka! Your wounds aren't-"
"Yes, yes Aika!" He said with a smile.
Tae-Woo told him to rest but Han-Dae just scoffed.
"Anyways, right now, the priority is Tae-Yeon's medicine. I'll go to the doctor in the eastern forest and get the medicine" Han-Dae said.
"Oi! You are going there with those injuries??" Mayu said with disbelief but she had a small smirk on her face.
"I am the fastest in the Wind Tribe" He said with confidence "But I will go, if you give me permission, young lord" He looked at Hak with puppy eyes, which made Hak smirk.
"Haggle down the price of the medicine" Hak said, still smirking which made Mayu chuckle.
"He is hopeless" Tae-Woo said as I nod in agreement.

Mayu's P.O.V
"At least Tae-Yeon is getting better" I said, looking at the little boy who was laying on his bed.
"You should sleep Mayu, you look sick" Hak said with a hint of worry in his voice.
"Yeah, I will...After" I said "I could've done something to help you out, I am such a dummy" I said.
"Well you could try to be more sexier" Hak said with a smirk.
"Nah, I think I am pretty sexy already" I said grinning.
He chuckled and ruffled my hair.
I blushed but then scoffed in response.
He chuckles again and then leans back.
"You've done enough, Mayu. Look on the bright side, you can now live a carefree life here" He said. I looking at him as he leaves, my vision got suddenly a bit blurry.
Ugh...Why am I getting a sudden headache...
****
"Can't sleep?" I overheard Mun-Dok say to Hak.
I was outside their room, eavesdropping on their conversation. Why am I here? I am here, 'cause- Wait, to be honest, I don't even know myself.
"Since neither of us can't sleep, why don't we have a drink?" Hak asked to his grandfather.
I suddenly felt hot. Am I sick?
"It is so rare of you to offer such good sake" Mun-Dok stated.
Pretty sure, he took a sip of the sake.
"I took it from your prized cellar" Hak said as I chuckle silently. I heard Mun-Dok spitting all the sake out and was mumbling something.
They were talking, which I didn't pay attention to 'cause my hearing were muffled, my vision was getting blurry, until they started talking about something that caught my attention.
"I have a request" Hak said in a serious tone.
Hak's P.O.V
"I need you to approve Soo-Won, for him to become the new king. Keep the girls hidden here and let them live their new life in the Wind Tribe. Tomorrow, I will be leaving the Wind Tribe, and you can have the Son name back too. Think only about what's best for the Wind Tribe, then you will have no more problems with the Fire Tribe" I ordered him.
"You might end up with a bounty on your head" Gramps said and made me chuckle.
"Sounds awesome. Who knows, I might end up being Kouka's greatest villain" I said with sarcasm.
"Are you actually leaving the girls behind?"
"King Il hasn't assign me to be the Princess's personal guard, so she will be safe here"
"And Mayu?"
"What about her? She will stay with the Princess 'cause King Il has assigned her to be the personal servant of the princess, also she will be safe here too."
"Hak, do you lo-" Gramps got cut off.
"WHO SAID ABOUT YOU LEAVING HAK?!" I turn around to see Mayu who was fuming in anger.
I sighed and stood up.
"Those are the final orders of Son Hak, the Chief of the Wind Tribe" I left the room, dragging Mayu with me.
****
"You should go re-"
"Who said you can leave us?!" She pouted, looking away.
I chuckled and was about to ruffle her hair but she grabbed my hand, and leans closer towards me.
"Stop treating me like a kid!"
I arched an eyebrow in confusion "Should I treat you as a woman then?"
"Don't you see me as a woman?!"
I smirked at her question: "Well, I do see you as my woman"
She blushed "S-stop joking"
then she suddenly fell.
"Mayu!" I caught her, then heard her lightly snoring.
I sighed and went to the room where Yona was sleeping, and laid Mayu next to her.
