RED STAR IN THE SKY GORYEO (The Scent Of Life 2)
CHAPTER 10 CHAOS
The crown prince's birthday festival is also coming up. Byeol is ready with clothes and masks to wear. When he came out of the dressing room, Byeol hit someone dressed the same as a sword dancer. The mask that the man was wearing fell off and Byeol saw an unfamiliar face.
The man was not one of the soldiers assigned to perform the dance with the princes. Byeol never saw his face. Byeol, who was wearing a mask, apologized. The man hurriedly put on his mask and passed away.
Byeol was suspicious, then followed by the man. Not far from where the festival was still in the palace forest area, some people changed clothes in the same clothes as the dancers. Byeol's eyes were wide in disbelief at what he saw. They were not soldiers tasked with carrying cloth from the direction of the roof as usual. Is sabotage really going to happen like his vision. It is true that there will be an intruder. Byeol is still in his hiding place.
"Rightly I thought," said someone from behind Byeol.
Byeol was surprised and almost shouted if the man did not keep his mouth shut. Byeol did not realize that there was Wang So standing behind him watching the same thing as him.
"Aaah, you really surprised me," whispered Byeol.
Wang So just kept quiet and looked at Byeol. He put his finger in front of his lips to give a code to be silent.
"Come, we should get ready to welcome those intruders. We tell General Park to prepare to secure the king's majesty and the crown prince. Their numbers are too many for us to attack both," Wang So asked as he pulled Byeol's hand. Wang So invited him to leave the place.
Wang So did not take off his hand grip on Byeol even though he had arrived at the venue of the festival. Wang So looks for General Park. Byeol realized that Wang So's hand was still holding her hand. Then the pull of his hand made Wang So realize what he was doing.
"Sorry," that's all Wang So said.
They finally found General Park. Wang So whispered what he saw. The general nodded his head in understanding. Then went to prepare his soldiers to welcome the intruder who would come in the guise of a sword dancer and cloth bearer who read congratulations to the crown prince.
Event commences. Byeol enters through the gate. In accordance with the sound of music, Byeol began to move to perform solo sword dances in the middle of the field, in front of the palace members. He could see the faces of the king and the queens, as well as the officials of the palace. He wants to give and do his best. Until the rhythm of the music plays with a fast rhythm, the princes enter the middle of the field and bring the sword dance movement along with Byeol. No one thought Byeol was a girl. Until finally the music changes rhythm a bit slowly and prepare the dancers from the direction of the wall down.
Some of them carried a cloth bearing the words happy birthday to the crown prince. However, before the rowdy soldiers descended from the direction of the high wall, the princes had already made a straight lined formation as if waiting and blocking the rowdy soldiers. They number about 20 people. The princes plus the soldiers were ready with drawn swords.
Firework shows began, as a sign for the self-styled soldiers to appear. Sure enough, they appeared in groups from the direction of the wall and ran straight towards the king and the crown prince. The palace was stormy, the officials realized something was wrong immediately ran to save themselves. General Park gives command of attacking the intruders. The princes including Byeol fought with them in the middle of the field. It is not easy to subdue them, because they seem to be trained fighters.
The king and the crown prince stood looking at what had happened. The arena became chaos, the sound of clashing swords clanking, the sound of alternating shouts. Exactly as seen by Byeol before entering the palace gate.
Byeol managed to subdue an intruder. He took off his mask and looked around. Just like in his vision. Until he finally saw a wounded intruder manage to get back up and intended to slash his sword at a prince.
The craaaakkk!
Byeol tried to protect the prince who was about to be slashed by the sword. Blood spurted from Byeol's sword-slashed back. Realizing that someone had been injured behind him, the Prince turned back, then caught Byeol who had fallen, wounded. He was the intruder who had wounded Byeol to death. The prince also removed his mask. Wang So is the figure behind the mask.
Byeol has already begun to lose consciousness. Wang So yelled out the name Byeol. Then, it felt in Wang So's hand that blood was dripping from Byeol's back. He checked Byeol's pulse. Wang So was grateful that Byeol was alive.
The fight was over, some surviving intruders were successfully rounded up. Wang So took Byeol to a safe place. The palace paramedics began moving in inspections, and rescued the victim. Lord Choi comes to the injured Byeol in Wang So's arms. They took Byeol and tried to save his life.
