Sorry, I have been busy updating another story recently. This is the second chapter to the story.

Choi Young rode fast and hard to Gi Chul's residence. His letter addressed to Queen Nogoog was asking her to take care of the King and continue convincing the King that whatever he would be doing is advantageous to him. The Queen believed that Choi Young would never harm the King.

" Welcome to my land and happy cooperation! " greeted Gi Chul.

" Cut all these nonsense. Where is Eun Soo? " asked Choi Young.

Gi Chul laughed at him, " Not so fast! Are you that naive? We must first change the King! "

" Where is Eun Soo? " Choi Young screamed, lifting his sword up and pressing it against Gi Chul's neck.

" Take it down, take things slowly. Don't worry, she is safe. I will provide her the best food, the best lodging! " Gi Chul explained. " If you perform well, I will let you see her earlier. So, put down that sword of yours now! "

Choi Young reluctantly put it down and walked into the hall with Gi Chul.

" So what is your plan? Be quick! " asked Choi Young.

" Haha, I like your character. Quick and decisive. Good! I am sure you know the King would be calling for a meeting soon. It would be about the money each minister and official can hold. You see, obviously I have exceeded the limit. " replied Gi Chul.

" You want me to steal the monetary record books and edit them? " confirmed Choi Young.

" Smart. This is what I like about you! The meeting is soon, start action tonight! " ordered Gi Chul. Without saying another word, Choi Young took his sword and things, and walked out of the hall, into his own room that Gi Chul prepared for him.

Meanwhile, the King heard some rumours that Choi Young had left his army. He calls in the Queen and Lady Choi to confirm the fact. Both bowed as they met the King.

" If you want to confirm if Choi Young has left, then I would answer the question first. The answer is yes, choi young had left. " said Queen Nogoog. King Gongmin let out a sigh.

" Who did he go to? Gi Chul? " questioned King Gongmin.

" Yes, I am afraid it is the truth. " replied Queen Nogoog.

" Why? Haven't I treated him well? I gave him enough power to make his own decisions and I let him control my whole army. Going to Gi Chul is as good as going against me! " shouted King Gongmin.

" Your Majesty, please calm down. Choi Young went to join Gi Chul because of Eu..." Lady Choi tried to comfort.

" Choi Young went to join Gi Chul because of various reasons! " Queen Nogoog immediately intercepted. Lady Choi stole a glance at the Queen. The Queen's eyes met her gaze. The Queen was trying to tell Lady Choi to keep the actual fact mum, not even the King should know.

" What reasons can there be? I am sure he would appear with Gi Chul for the meeting. I will ask him personally then and persuade him to return. " said the determined King. Lady Choi and Queen Nogoog looked at each other, knowing nothing would waver Choi Young's decision.
