Chapter 2: Safety

I ran up towards Jaeha and he saw me with a worried look on my face and met me halfway. I thas been the saem routine after each round if war was over. "I'm fine" he said turning around so I can inspect him and I sighed with relief, "Kija and Shin-ah is also fine but Hak seems.."

Before he could finish I rushed off and went to find Hak. Zeno stayed behind and was talking with Jaeha. I ran to the part of camp where the injured were treated and found Yoon bandaging Hak around the waist. I ran up towards him and when he saw me he waved, "Princess" he said, "Why are you running in a hurry?"

I ran up and asked him, "What happened, how is the injury, how are you feeling?"

"Slow down" Hak said, "I'm fine, its just a slash"

"Its not just a slash, you need stitches and it would be best if you will not be on battlefield for a week" Yoon said

Hak said nothing but just staring at Yona as she was about to cry, "I'm fine" he said, "Anyway your shots are getting better, aim to kill"

She rubbed off the tears of her face and faced him with a hint of laughter. It has always been rare for Hak to comliement her. "Are you really ok?" I asked

"Yes" he said as Yoon continued on, "As long as you stay out of the battlefield for a week"

His statement was ignored by Hak. Yoon stood up and said, "I have to see to the others" before leaving.

"You will be staying away from the battlefield" I said

"I am needed there" he said

"Kija, Jaeha, Shin-ah and the others can handle a week without you on the battlefield" I said, "Stay back"

"As you wish but if I'm needed…" he said but before he could finish I said, "When the time comes than we will talk about it but for now head back to the tent. I have to see Soo-woon, the generals and Princess Tao on how the war is going"

She was about to walk off when Hak followed her, "You should rest" I said but he followed me stubbornly. I gave up and walked towards the meeting tent.

When I walked in everyone one was already there including, Kija, Shin-ah, Jaeha and Zeno. They were standing at a corner quiet but all were aware of their presences. I walked towards the meeting table, greeted them before I sat down on the chair next to Princess Tao.

I sat there hearing their discussion quietly. I turned and could see the distress on Hak's face so I turned to Jaeha and called for him softly. He came up with questioning looks. I signalled him to come closer than whispered into his ears, "Make sure Hak has some rest now." I said, "Kija and Shin-ah is here so I would be fine"

He nodded and I turned back to the meeting.
