36 HIS FIRST REINCARNATION PART IV (1/2)
”General Lee.”
A Few Days After The Coronation Day...
The King summoned all the Ministers to the Main Hall. He wants to greet the new Ministers that had been elected, replacing all the previous ministers that had been executed in the name of treason.
I heard the assembly's also to introduce a new General, the commander of the Royal Soldiers.
I didn't see the First Prince in his residence this morning and when I went to the King's Residence to find him, he was also not there.
Then the King left his residence and headed towards to the Main Hall, so I decided to follow him instead.
***
I stand right beside him on the throne.This makes me reminisces some old memories when I was a Queen and my seat was next to the throne. It has been hundred years since the last time being this close to the throne.
Before, I will always accompany the 'King' during the official banquets and I'd already forgotten what it felt like looking at the people from the throne.
Standing here next to the King today, rather than feeling superior, I feel heavy. I try to put myself in the place of the King, being young and have thousands of people relying on him, the weight suffocates me.
The hall falls silent as Eunuch Moon stepped forward, opening a scroll in his hand and he reads it to the people that present there.
The scroll's content directed to the new ministers regarding their positions and responsibilities which also included the King's congratulatory messages.
”Today, I would also want to introduce to you, the new general for our Royal Soldiers,” the King says and he looks at the entrance, ”Come in, General Lee.”
All heads turn to the entrance and a person in a in a soldier's uniform enters the hall.
Each step is sharp and rhythmical. His head is looking up front, his face is void of expression.
”First Grandson? The First Prince is the new general?” I'm suddenly feeling proud of him.
Appointed him as the General means the Kinghas decided to trust him since the General has the Royal Soldiers under his command.
I'm glad they both protecting their bonds as brothers and now as the King and his subject.
I could see the changes of expressions in few of the Ministers' faces as the new General strides across the hall to the front and stops before the throne.
The General down to one knee and greets the King.
”Rise, General Lee,” the King says and then helooks at the Ministers. ”Minister Yun, I'm looking forward to see you work together with General Lee in the Ministry of Defense.”
