Dear Mother of God, This Emperor Togon is really whiny as fuck.

"Min Raee~" Here we go.

I walked inside his chambers. This little shit will get it when I announce that I am a Princess.

"Yes Your Majesty?" I asked as politely as I could possibly get.

"Come with me in the gardens." He said standing up.

"But, it's night time." I said.

"I don't care. Now come." He said.

And just like that I am here in the garden. He sat in a random bench while I stood in a nearby tree.

"You know, I like it when you are here." He said.

"And why is that?" I asked.

"Cause, you are the only guard that stood me." He said.

"Cause I know what I need to do for my Princess?" I said.

"You really are a loyal piece of Assassin." He said.

"Well, I am a loyal one to those who deserve it." I said.

"I heard that your Princess is a skilled warrior. She can manage." He said.

"Yeah she is." I said.

"Then Why Protect her?" He asked.

"I am still better than her. Besides, Goguryeo can't lose a Princess again. She just returned so I need to protect her in oath to get what I want." I said.

"So what do you really want?" He asked.

"Him." I simply stated.

"You like someone?" He asked.

"Yes. But, Princess likes him too. So, I have to let go." I said.

"Well, I'm sure there are plenty of Men around. You just have to look." He said.

Suddenly, I heard a faint rustling. I stopped talking and went closer to the Emperor.

"What?" He asked.

"Don't say anything just go away." I said.

He was gonna stood up when I saw an arrow approaching us. I pushed him off the bench and I caught the arrown with my right hand.

"Hide." I said firmly.

Black assassins came. I gripped my sword tightly and looked at them.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Kill the Emperor." One said.

"Hell No you can't." I said.

I began attacking them the fastest I can. Soon, there was only one standing. He is as good as me but I'm better. I knocked him off his feet and immediately killed him. I looked over the Emperor who was terrified out of his wits.

"Inside now." I said.

We both ran inside the palace down to his room.

"Are you okay your Majesty?" I asked him.

"Y-yes." He said.

I sighed and sat down near him.

"Is this why other Assassins were dead?" I asked.

"Yes. They aren't good enough to see any danger." He said.

"Aren't you capable of protecting yourself?" I asked him.

"Mianhe. I don't."

I sighed and sat beside him.

"I'll teach you the basics." I said.

He smiled at he and I pat him in the back.

"Sleep now Your Majesty." I said.

"Wait, Read me a book first." He said.

I nodded and sat in the corner of his bed while he lays down. I read the book switching my voice to the cold one. Once he was asleep, I went back to my chamber and went to sleep. The next day, I ate breakfast which is oddly on my desk in the room and went to the Emperor's chamber.

"Is he still asleep?" I asked his nokdu.

"Yes. Would you like to wake him up?" He asked.

I smirked and nodded. I went inside.

"Wake Up!" I shouted in his ear making him shot up in bed.

He rubbed his eyes and groaned.

"Get up. I'm teaching you how to fight." I said.

His eyes lit up and nodded excitedly. I smiled and left him to change.

"Ya! Your feet are in the wrong place." I said.

I went on his side and adjusted his feet.

"You shout prepare your self from impacts. Don't be afraid to get hurt. Be afraid on not surviving." I told him firmly.

"Okay." He said.

"I'll try to attack you with this stick. Don't hesitate to hurt me." I said.

I attacked him first, he blocked it by 4 times and I slid off and kicked his side and point the sword to his neck.

"Be alert. I can go wherever I want to go. I have no patterns. But everyone has. That's my advantage. Be like me. I have no patters. I attack where I want or when." I said.

I helped him stood up.

"Wow, have you teached anyone before?" He asked.

"I teached Hwarangs." I said.

"The Beautiful Men?" He asked.

"Uh-huh. The all know me. No one beats me." I said.

"And you are just telling me this now?" He asked.

"You have more things to learn." I said.

He smiled and we go again. He became more determined this time but not enough to take me down.

"Emperor, you need to loosen up for a but, hold that stick firmly." I said.

Until noon, we practiced. Now, is our break. The Emperor invited me for his linch near the pond and I can't deny so I am sitting here.

"So, how did you get so good at fighting?" He asked.

"I was trained by my adoptive parents in the age of 3 to 13." I said.

"Wow. You know how to fight at such age." He says.
