Sakura's Petals
Colline (2)
Seol finally made it out as well. He stared fixedly at the direction of his nona. “Nona is fine? Ah, fights during the day, really childish. Come, Miss. We have to go.” soon
Reluctantly, he walked out of the hallway. Sometimes, he looks back. His mind was still full of that man. Shortly thereafter, he arrived at a rundown house. Two little girls immediately greeted him as soon as he arrived.
“Nona is here! Miss is here!”
The miss woke up from her daydream, and walked inside and was immediately greeted by about ten girls and five men dressed in shabbiness. They bow together.
The miss replied with a slow nod, then carried one of the little girls who greeted her earlier, as did Seol. “How are you guys?”
One of them answered. “Very well, Miss.”
The lady smiled. “Good. Oh, yes, as you wanted yesterday because you all have been diligent in doing the work, I brought you your favorite cake. Guess what this is.”
They were screaming at the same time. “Kue plum!”
Soon, they began to struggle to enjoy the plum cake that Seol had brought. The lady sat down in the hall and began arranging books on her desk. Then, the Miss called out to the two girls among them who were eating. “Ha Neul, Ra Eun! Come.”
Ha Neul and Ra Eun bowed and sat down in front of the Miss's desk. The lady smiled. “A few days ago was your birthday, wasn't it?”
Ha Neul and Ra Eun nodded. “Iya, Miss.”
“This is a gift for you.” The lady gave each one a box to them. They with happy faces began to open the box. It is a hair ornament. They began to bow respectfully once more, only deeper than before. “Already, sit. Don't bend again. This hair ornament I give because now you are old enough to be called a girl. You have to keep it well. This can be a savings for you someday. Do you guys understand?”
They bowed once more and nodded. “Of course, Miss.”
“Now, call your friends. We start learning.”
Shortly after, the lesson began. The lady teaches at the hall, while Seol teaches the boys and girls in the front gasebo of the house. Every now and then the Miss went around checking their calligraphy writing jobs, while Seol taught the boys to write some letters in books.
About two hours later, the lesson was over. Miss and Seol had already started summarizing their belongings and were walking out of the house. “I want you to memorize what I taught you today, especially you, Hyun Ae. You understand?”
Hyun Ae's face turned red, greeted by the laughter of his friend. “And, I ask for help as always, Eun Hee and Il Dong, you are the oldest, I want you to take care of your sisters.”
“Take it easy, Miss. They are like our father and mother in this house.” said Ha Neul.
“Alright, do not forget to turn off the fire after cooking later. Oh, yeah, don't forget to lock the door after I'm gone.”
With a heavy heart, the Miss also left her orphaned children. On the way, he found a beautiful cherry tree, a few strands of flowers falling down. Surprisingly, he remembered the man.
AT THE SAME TIME...
“Jeoha, you must immediately return to the royal entourage.” said a middle-aged man to the man who is now in front of him drinking his tea. They wear noble clothes. “The market environment is very dangerous at night. Especially after the attack earlier.”
The Crown Prince laughed amusedly. “Did you forget I was a swordsman? It's still late in the afternoon, so calm down and have your tea."
“Jeoha!” call, annoyed. “This is not the time to drink tea, Jeonha will be furious if you know Jeoha does not immediately return to the palace.”
“Consider, right now we are lost and surrounded by criminals so we can not go home soon. I don't think Ahbamama would have any reason to be angry.”
“But, Jeoha. If until we get attacked again, how?” he asked, looking around him.
The Crown Prince laughed again. “Then, I can practice the moves I just learned yesterday.”
The man in front of him started to get angry. “Jeoha!” He dragged the Crown Prince up from his chair.
“What are you doing? You forgot who I was?”
“Hamba, your eunuch, Hyun, knows exactly who you are, Your Majesty. That's why I do this.”
With great difficulty, Hyun dragged his employer away. They also walked down the road to the palace which was mostly a quiet market hallway. The Crown Prince looked so upset. While Hyun remained a determined face while occasionally pulling his master who was walking very slowly.
