Chapter 47

It took Kim Jong-Seo two days to recover from the blow he had sustained during the battle. His arm was painful, and the wound needed to be cleaned and treated regularly, but the doctor cleared him of any danger. Nevertheless, he still advised the general to be cautious and not to exert himself.

As soon as he sent the doctor away, though, Kim Jong-Seo called for Jun-Ho and Shin. He had to discuss what happened during the second day of the hunt as soon as possible. It was enough they had lost two days, in which he had to regain his strength. He was waiting for them in his room, sitting with his feet crossed beneath him and his back straight.

"Father, are you feeling well enough to be sitting up?" Jun-Ho asked him the moment he entered the room.

"Perhaps you should lie down, sir." Shin seconded with worry in his eyes.
