Chapter 11

Cheongwoon sat down again. Inevitably, while sitting next to her again, Haehwa looked closely at Cheongwoon’s expression as if she was on fire.

“It’s okay…do you like it?”

“I ate more food like this on the battlefield. This is good enough to eat.”

In fact, when I (Haehwa) brought up the story of my sick parents, there was nothing more for me to say.

Cheongwoon again put a spoonful of rice in his mouth. Still, as I ate, this seemed to be quite edible.

“So where are your parents?”

“My mother passed away many years ago, and my father is at home with a chronic illness.”

She died…then is that what she taught before she died? Hearing that, I understand a little bit about her behavior.

“Since I’m done, it would be uncomfortable to leave behind food.”

Afterwards, Cheongwoon emptied the rice bowl cleanly without any other pickups. Haehwa, who was sitting next to him with an uneasy mind, carefully opened her mouth while looking at Cheongwoon’s eyes.

“You know, General. I…can I go to my father? He must be extremely worried by now, but…I’ll be back soon.”

“Why do you have to ask for my permission? Do whatever you want.”

“I thought it would be okay if you were caught by a man named ‘my father’ and not returned. He probably doesn’t even know your own situation.”

Even if he knows, it’s going to happen right away anyway. But despite Cheongwoon’s innocent answer, Haehwa still hadn’t finished saying everything she wanted to say.

Haehwa, who had been hesitant, finally made up her mind, she closed her eyes again, and spit out her words in a desperate tone. “Can the General come with me?”

“What? Me? Why should I do that?”

“That’s…I don’t think my father’s heart will be relieved if I go alone… He’ll be worried thinking that I’m being taken as a princess.”

In fact, she has already managed to escape from being taken as a princess.

“Ha.”

There are so many requests. Somehow, I opened my mouth carefully. Haehwa, who noticed that Cheongwoon’s expression was worsening, almost cried. “Just once. Yeah?”
