Hagi looked at King Sejong in astonishment, since earlier they had only been silent while looking at some Giseng who seemed to be training in the backyard of the Embroidery house, since then, there is also Young Ae's mistress who gives direction to the Gisengs. Actually Hagi was also a little confused because during this time Young Ae's mistress had never trained the Gisengs as seriously as this, as indeed they were facing the preparation of a big party only.
"I have a secret assignment for you." After a long silence, King Sejong began to speak up, The king looked at Hagi seriously and then walked over and asked everyone to wait as the King and Hagi walked into the room that had been specially prepared for the King's arrival.
The King and Hagi sat facing each other, several times the King took a slow breath then looked at Hagi who was still bowing his face.
"Thanks to your face, I want to talk to you like a friend." The King's words suddenly made Hagi surprised, a little hesitant finally Hagi looked at King Sejong slowly. That's when the king smiled.
"It looks like the scar on your face is gone, you're getting prettier now." The King's words suddenly made Hagi wrong, Hagi held his face that might have been reddened which invited laughter King Sejong.
"Ah, maybe later I will miss teasing you." Although still a little embarrassed Hagi looked at King Sejong in surprise.
"What do you mean, your highness?" King Sejong returned to his serious face, then took out two letters from the pocket of his sleeves in front of Hagi.
"Open up." Hagi without saying much opened the first letter then looked in wonder at the King.
"Open one more." Hagi again obeyed the King's order and then re-opened the other letter, this time Hagi looked surprised to see the King.
"Your highness, this?" King Sejong nodded convincingly, if the contents of the letter that Hagi read were indeed true.
"That is the secret duty I mentioned earlier, while the first letter is useful for carrying out my command." Hagi was still staring at the King tangent he still did not understand the intent of His Majesty King Sejong.
"Have you heard about the election of the crown princess directly appointed by the Queen?" Hagi nodded slowly.
"Yes I've heard it noble, I heard the future crown princess a close relative of Shin's minister." The king breathed softly.
"I immediately agreed to it because the family of the future crown princess is an influential family, it was good for the crown prince's support when ascending the throne. But the westerners don't like my choice."
"That's Your Excellency Minister Kim?" Hagi tried to guess when the King just nodded slowly.
"That's why I gave you this task, also why today you didn't see Kyuhyun." Again Hagi misbehaved and it again invited the laughter of the King.
"You can hide your feelings from others, but not from me. I know you like her, I can see it from your eyes, but you have to remember you're my bodyguard and you're a woman that's a sign you're still mine. Even your heart is mine, can you understand it?" Hagi looked at the King in disbelief as if the contents of his heart were so transparent in the eyes of the King more disbelieving the King as if claiming himself as belonging to the King, although Hagi is not legally permitted to like or relate to any man unless there is permission from the King, and obviously the King does not allow Hagi to like anyone, when he got the King's smile, Hagi looked down again.
"I dare not argue with His Majesty, but why does his majesty believe in me? Couldn't I be on their side?" This time the king thought and smiled again.
"It's because I trust you and it's because I'm sure you won't betray me." Hagi was stunned, he did not know if the King he had not even known for so long believed him.
"I also don't want to confuse Kyuhyun, choosing between me or his father's Kim minister, we've been together since childhood and I've thought of him as my own friend. That's why I'd prefer you for this secret assignment, even if you came from the Park family, I'm sure that Secretary Park wouldn't have taken part if it was against my wishes." Hagi looked at the King in awe, all thought carefully by King Sejong.
"I will obey your noble command, Your Majesty can trust me." This time the King seemed to be smiling with relief, it seemed like he had chosen the right person for the mission this time.
"But may I know why Minister Kim disagreed with His Majesty's choice?" The king again took a weak breath then looked at Hagi inside.
"Hagi politics, even if Kim's minister is on my side but the west does not want the south to have an important role in the government. The thing is that the Queen chose Shin's ministerial relatives which meant giving the southern side a chance to sit in the government." Hagi took a slow breath, it was not only in the future that political problems changed someone. Already from the past politics became the grab of many people.
"Then how will His Majesty dampen the anger of the western camp later if this mission goes smoothly?" The king seemed to frown, he was still thinking about it since last night.
"I still don't know Hagi, I still need time to see all these developments but if you have an opinion you can share with me as always." Hagi nodded in understanding, he understood King Sejong's burden that even to make the best choice for his own son should see the reaction of the ministers in the palace.
"I understand your majesty, I will carry out the noble commandments." The king smiled wryly, actually although the weight of the King did not want to be far from Hagi, but the state of the palace now is not good if Hagi is still by his side, Hagi could be in danger.
"Alright, you can split the duties with Shin Nam Young's bodyguards. I gave the same job to him. If you need anything, you just send Judge Choi a letter."
"Your Majesty." Hagi looked back at the King before him in awe, completely unable to believe that the King who was even nicknamed Sejong the Great was the one he protected and now so trusted in him.
****
Hagi looked at the gisengs who were now training in front of him bored, actually the secret mission given by the King was very easy. But the results that will be obtained that make this boring mission a little heavy for Hagi. Moreover, Hagi missed Kyuhyun who he had not seen for three days, Hagi knew his feelings were inappropriate but he was even powerless to control himself beside Kyuhyun, proven King who realized his feelings for Kyuhyun.
"It's lucky that you're on leave and lounging in a brothel like this." As Hagi's longing answered, Kyuhyun looked at Hagi in disbelief. While Hagi could only stare at Kyuhyun speechlessly, even Hagi did not speak and continued to stare at Kyuhyun who was already sitting beside Hagi.
"Well...have you come to insult me?" Hagi tried to ignore Kyuhyun's words earlier and tried to figure out why Kyuhyun was here. Kyuhyun clucked, as if Kyuhyun realized that Hagi was insinuating his arrival here.
"What do you think I want to come here? I'd rather go to Minister Park's house than here." Kyuhyun's words successfully made Hagi smile in horror, the fact that Kyuhyun liked Miss Hyun so much made him feel a little sick.
"Here, I'm just delivering a letter from your highness, ck why I'm such a courier." This time Hagi smiled amusedly as Kyuhyun only gave a small grumble, Hagi took the letter Kyuhyun placed beside him. Then read it seriously but at the end of the letter Hagi turned nervous and closed the letter quickly.
'So this is the noble reason for telling Kyuhyun to deliver the letter? Thank you, your majesty.' Hagi muttered a little inwardly then occasionally stole a glance at the man beside him. The king knew if Hagi might miss Kyuhyun that why Kyuhyun was delivering the warrant from the King.
"So what's the letter? What's the secret mission?" Kyuhyun's words successfully made Hagi round his eyes in surprise staring at Kyuhyun making the namja smile amusedly.
"Why are you surprised like that? You think you're the only one who's ever been on a secret mission? I do it often too. After all, His Majesty couldn't possibly let his beloved bodyguards just sit around watching the gissies for no reason." Although spoken arrogantly Hagi was slightly relieved, it seemed that Kyuhyun did not know the secret mission he was on.
"Is that so? I'm sure my mission must be better yours." Hagi tried to lure Kyuhyun in the other direction so as not to ask about his mission.
"Cih, pay attention to the gisengs you mean? I even risked my life for my secret mission." Kyuhyun's words were enough to make Hagi worry. Kyuhyun seemed determined to know his mission. Kyuhyun smiled slightly, he could see the uneasiness of his new friend.
"But whatever your mission is, I hope that you really carry out your mission well, never betray Your Majesty. Because it seems like this time His Majesty can't lean on anyone but you." Hagi looked at Kyuhyun deeply, inexplicably Hagi felt Kyuhyun already knew the secret mission the King had given him. But Kyuhyun pretended not to know everything to help His Majesty.
For a moment Kyuhyun and Hagi only looked at each other, as if the gaze alone was enough to say everything that could not be said by mouth. The contact was cut off when Nam Young interrupted the two. Which immediately looks wrong when Nam young smiles meaningfully at Hagi.
"I'm sorry if I'm interrupting, but it looks like it's time for Hagi to leave. Let me wait for you here." Without repeating twice Hagi immediately left Kyuhyun who snorted annoyedly at Nam Young.
"You're exaggerating Nam Young_ssi." Kyuhyun cleared his throat and went after Hagi, while Changmin only clucked in disbelief.
"Cih, is it clear that the kasmaran still want to avoid? Why do we love each other? They're not women and men, Omo or maybe Kyuhyun doesn't know that Hagi is a woman?" Nam Young could only stare in disbelief at Kyuhyun who was now embracing Hagi's shoulder from behind. During this time the other bodyguards pretended not to see the closeness of the two, remembering clearly that King Sejong seemed to also put his heart on Hagi. They only hope for the happiness of the two, what else Kyuhyun had experienced love clapping one hand with someone.
Hagi looked at Kyuhyun annoyed, already this namja had been following him. If not in a secret mission he would have loved Kyuhyun very much with him, but now the existence of Kyuhyun beside him was not at all advantageous.
"Kyuhyun_ssi didn't I say you didn't have to come with me? You can go back to the palace." This time Hagi looked back at Kyuhyun furiously, but this was stubborn.
"Ck, I just obeyed His Majesty's order to always be with you today. What do you think I like?" Hagi let out a tired breath then looked at Kyuhyun as if.
"Then you just have to go and tell His Majesty that you've done his bidding."
"Where can be how if__" Kyuhyun's speech was interrupted when angrily Hagi interrupted his speech.
"Aggggrh, it's up to you. You're so stubborn." Hagi just left Kyuhyun who was speechless then smiled amusedly and started following Hagi from behind. For some reason for Kyuhyun who often runs serious work so far, Hagi's presence feels good for him especially if it has tempted Hagi, Kyuhyun will not stop before Hagi sulks like now.
Kyuhyun frowned confusedly then looked at Hagi who seemed to notice the house in front of him seriously.
"Why are we here?" Kyuhyun's question didn't Hagi answer at all, Hagi was still seriously staring at the movements of the people in this house. As if processing the information Kyuhyun stared at Hagi inside, making Hagi sigh slowly.
"So can you go now Kyuhyun_ssi?" Hagi spoke without looking at Kyuhyun, making Kyuhyun even more convinced by his conclusion.
"Is this the letter the King gave you?" This time Hagi looked at Kyuhyun impatiently.
"Kyuhyun_fr!!!"
"Is His Majesty suspicious of my father?" Hagi let out a slow breath, then looked at Kyuhyun flatly.
"Anni, it's strange that His Majesty is not suspicious of my father, after the father defied His Majesty's final decision and even offered to greet the envoy from Yuan. Am I right?" Hagi could not say anything then could only stare at Kyuhyun expressionlessly which made Kyuhyun even more curious because he could not read the expressions of the people before him.
"I understand if you can't tell me, but I really want to help Your Majesty. If you don't want to tell me I'll figure it out myself." Kyuhyun then stood ready to leave Hagi when Hagi finally opened his voice.
"You, you won't be able to choose Kyuhyun_ssi. That's why Your Majesty gave this task to me." Kyuhyun stopped and smiled a little.
"I will never defend anyone who is wrong. Even if it was my own father." After saying that Kyuhyun left Hagi and went into the house that Hagi had noticed. The house was none other than the house of minister Kim who was soon to be the welcoming place of the envoy from Yuan before entering the palace.
