ROYAL PHYSICIAN

With just a kick, Ok Jung takes down the door to a particular house, yet, she still don't feel remorseful. Although she is dressed like a boy again, but it is very easy to tell she is a girl because of her hair which had a very expensive hair pin on it and her beautiful face and tiny voice. She walks into the room and sees that she had scared the living hell out of a man who is sitting. "Hi." She greets bluntly and looks around the room.

"W-who- are y-you? And what are you doing here?" The man asks stuttering with a lot of fear.

"Really?" Ok Jung asks and turns back to face the man. "You don't know who I am? Are you being for real?"

"I don't know who you are!" The man says loudly but still with fear.

"That's suspicious." She whispers and bends towards him looking at him very suspiciously. "How can you claim not to know me when I know you well?"

"You know me?" The man asks again.

Ok Jung claps her hand and smiles. "Of course I do. Aren't you the Royal physician who teamed up with deceased queen dowager and terminated three of Suk-bin her majesty's pregnancies and killed two of her infants?"

The Royal Physician opened his eyes and mouth wide in shock and utmost fear. "I-I do-do not know what you are talking about." He tries to deny.

Ok Jung grabs the man's neck tightly. "Why are you still pretending?" She asks loudly.

"Please save me." The Royal physician whispers as he beats her hands trying his best to get her to stop.

Ok Jung let go of his neck and watches him cough hard for a while. "I heard you are on the run, after doing those terrible things, how dare you run for your life?"

"I am so sorry, please save me." The Royal physician pleads trembling. "I had no choice, the deceased queen dowager already had that in mind, and you know she could have actually killed me if I refused."

"So, you killed five people because you were scared of dying?"

"Please over look my crimes and mistakes just this once my lady."

"My lady?" Ok Jung asks and burst into laughter. "You can call me the Ming Princess." She says with a wink.

"What?!" The Royal physician asks and goes all four on the floor. "Please save me."

"Your life doesn't lie in my hands." She faces the entrance and calls. "Yeoning."

Prince Yeoning enters with his eyes burning red. "Put your head up."

The Royal physician obeys without uttering any word. "Prince Yeoning your highness, please save me."

"I have no plans on killing you either, stay here and do not make any move until I give you my orders. I might not kill you now, but I want you to know your live lies in my hands now." He pauses and smiles. "Shouldn't you even be bothered on how we got to find this place?" Yeoning didn't wait to hear his reply. "That's a sign for you know that we are fully aware of every single thing you do."

"I promise to obey every of your order yiur highness." The Royal physician promises.

Man Ho stands in front of the giseng parlor he was told about by Baek Dol days ago. "I hope this place give answers to all my questions." He hopes and approaches the gate, he also notices a man who walks out the giseng parlor through the gate. "He might be of help, let me go talk to him." He continues to walk towards the man but he did that with a lot of fake smiles. "Hi."

The man looks at Man Ho suspiciously and answers. "Hello, how can I help you?"

"Actually I heard of this giseng parlor that allows people to showcase their martial arts skills, so I decided to come here and see how it all goes."

The man clears his throat and looks at Man Ho from head to toe then says. "Incase you don't know, we don't pay those people that choose to display their martial skills. Are you okay with that?"

"Yes." Man Ho nods. "I am very okay with that."

The man looks at Man Ho again in a very observing manner. "You don't look like a man who needs money or help anyways, may I ask your real motive behind you coming here?"

"Real motive?" Man Ho asks a little confused.

"Some men come here in order to compete with their fellow men just to improve their martial skills, some come here in order to catch the attention of a very rich noble and be his personal guard and earn a lot of money." The man pauses and continues. "Which of these are your reasons?"

"Actually, I am a Royal guard that has a lot of responsibilities to take care of and my monthly allowance isn't enough. Just as you suspected, I came here to catch the attention of a very rich noble."

"Alright, just make sure you are quiet good at what you do and make sure it is appealing to the eye."

"Does that mean I am in already?" Man Ho asks.

"Of course, displaying your martial skills here has no special process, since we don't pay you all."

"Okay, that's so good." Man Ho says with a smile.

"What is your name by the way?" The man asks.

"My name is Man Ho, what about yours?"

The man clears his throat shyly and whispers. "You can call me Ji Tae. Come in, I will like to show you some things around."

"Before we do that, I have a question for you."

"What is that?" Ji Tae asks.

"Do you possibly have any idea of a man that can take on fifteen men holding swords single handedly?"

Ji Tae acts shocked immediately he heard the question but quickly waves it off. "Is that even possible?" He chuckles and walks in.

Man Ho watches him walk in. "I know right, no one will ever believe me."
