93 What 3 (1/2)
”Eo?”
The same shriek was made by others simultaneously.
Gw.a.n.ghae was flying in the sky.
Not voluntarily but by outer force.
'Why is he doing so bad?'
Ganghyuk thought to withdraw his kick he had made unknowingly.
Ganghyuk slowed down his attack, but Gw.a.n.ghae had a hard time evading his attacks.
He could not manage to evade Ganghyuk's kicks and tried to defend it with his hand. Then he could not bear the pain in his wrist and was thrown to the other corner.
'Euk, what did I do?'
Ganghyuk ran to him feeling cold sweat on his back.
”Your Highness!”
The eunuch and his fellows ran to Gw.a.n.ghae.
Dolseok's face was as pale as paper. He might fall.
He murmured the same word.
”Death sentence…”
Makbong hit his head.
”Don't say such awful things! Go away.”
”Ah, mother, we might be seeing each other soon…”
”Are you crazy?”
Everyone except Dolseok came to Gw.a.n.ghae.
All of them looked anxious.
”Your Highness!”
The eunuch who was grounding inkstone was the first one to come to Gwanhae except for Ganghyuk.
It seemed he had strong loyalty.
All of the other people nearby had the same anxious look on their faces.
”Is Your Highness okay?”
The most anxious one was Ganghyuk.
He was the one who made Gw.a.n.ghae lie on the floor.
'Is he going to be like that for a while?'
He remembered every bad thing he learned from history cla.s.s.
When he was young, he thought Gw.a.n.ghae was a crazy man. How could he kill his half-brother and confine his step-mother?
”Eum.”
Gw.a.n.ghae frowned because of the pain or the unpleasantness of it all and got up.
He ma.s.saged his wrist constantly.
”Are you okay? I am so sorry, Your Highness.”
Ganghyuk murmured without seeing his eyes.
However, he did not say the cliché 'Pardon me all to h.e.l.l.'
He was afraid he would really go to h.e.l.l if he said that.
”Eum.”
Gw.a.n.ghae got up.
He got up brusquely but he seemed to be in pain.
”Okay, okay.”
He showed a cool att.i.tude, so Ganghyuk was a bit relieved.
Ganghyuk felt that he would not kill him anyway.
”I would like to see your wrist.”
”Okay.”
Gw.a.n.ghae had an indifferent face while looking at his wrist.
Ganghyuk examined the affected part.
In a bruise, the most serious thing would was a fracture.
'Fortunately, there is no sign of fracture.'
Now that he thought about it, he did not kick that strong.
It was something like 'pus.h.i.+ng' rather than 'kicking'.
If it was Yeoni, she might dodge, and if it was Makbong, he might counterattack. Even Dolseok could defend himself without difficulties.
'It is swollen…”
Anti-inflammatory medicine would work.
He gave steroid in full in the morning, so it would make the swelling subside.
The effect would last quite long.
”Fortunately, you did not have to suffer huge damage.”
”Yes, don't make a fuss. I fell because I missed my step while retreating.”
”Yes, right.”
Ganghyuk agreed to Gw.a.n.ghae carefully.
Gw.a.n.ghae smiled out of embarra.s.sment and tapped Ganghyuk's shoulder.
”I have sparred with many martial arts experts. However, experts like you are rare. You are good at medicine and good in martial arts, too. You are incredible.”
Ganghyuk almost snorted with laughter.
Rare?
'If I am a rare expert, Makbong and Yeoni would be the top of the world.'
It was nonsense, but the speaker was a prince.
If one had power, one could insist that a horse was a deer.
In this situation, Gw.a.n.ghae was the one who held greater power.
Ganghyuk bent his head.
”Thank you.”
”No, not at all. Go and take a rest. You must be very tired. I will draw some more paintings since I don't have problems with my wrist anymore.”
Gw.a.n.ghae let them go as he was ashamed of the kick he received earlier.
Ganghyuk was not very comfortable in the palace, so he followed his order quickly.
”Yes, your highness, but please remember to not use your hand too much.”
”Okay. I understand.”
Ganghyuk came out of the palace after bidding farewell to Gw.a.n.ghae.
Dolseok was relieved for a long time after leaving the palace.
”Hugh, now I am relieved. When you kicked the prince...”
”I did not kick with all my might. I made a slow kick.”
”You kicked slowly and yet the prince was still thrown away?”
”Yes, I kicked slowly.”
Ganghyuk looked wrongfully accused.
Makbong rebuked.
”Sir, I told you. You are an expert in Taekyeon.”
”Expert? No, you and Yeoni are experts.”
”Don't compare yourself with us. The prince had good movement, but he was no match against you.”
”Good movement? Then how could he not dodge my attack?”
Yeoni shook her head.
”I can dodge it, but normal people cannot dodge your attack. You are gigantic. Ordinary people might not be able to move because they are overwhelmed by your body.”
”Really?”
The last was Yeoju.
She was close to the ordinary man in terms of Taekyeon, so he could trust her evaluation.
”They are right. Do you remember you have beaten all the fellows from Daedonggye?”
”Ah, yes.”
”Therefore, you must be very careful. You were lucky this time. If the prince was injured, it could be a serious problem for us.”
”Okay, okay.”
Ganghyuk shook his head in irritation.
Soon, he was worried about Gw.a.n.ghae.
He looked back. It was the direction where the palace was located.
