You don’t Even Know Who I Am

"I would like to bring Ngu Lao back to the palace with me," Hung Dao said.

"What?" Ngu Lao reacted strongly to what he just heard.

"Can you tell me why?" the mother asked Hung Dao, she was calmer than Ngu Lao at the moment.

"From the conversation I and Ngu Lao had on the way to here, I notice that he is not a normal individual. He has the vision of a general and his heart is as pure as water. Those traits are what we are needing most in this stressful time," Hung Dao explained. "Please don't worry much. The great thing about the Tran dynasty is that there is a system that gives exemptions to remarkable individuals without going through the time-consuming tests."

"I am very honored and happy with your invitation. I truly am. But I must refuse this offer," Ngu Lao said immediately.

Hung Dao was surprised by his quick answer, but then,

"As long as he is not a burden for you, Please use him how you want to," The mother stepped in.

"Mam," Hung Dao turned to the mother.

"You don't even know who I am."
