"Eight!" Minsook quickly counted the white dots, "Joochan hyeong almost finished the mission!"
Sungmi was still feeling quite tense a minute ago, but to hear that Joochan is working well there, she finally took a seat on a big rock. Kichul is walking to her side and pats her shoulder lightly.
"Princess, I think you have chosen the best person as the warrior leader," he said with his calming voice, "Joochan hyeong is doing well there."
"I just wish to see him soon, the healthy him," said Sungmi, she still sounds worried.
"He will come back unscratched. I have a good feeling about it."
"So I've been curious about one thing," said Soulling, who was walking side by side with Joochan, "did Princess Sungmi ask you whether you wanna accept your role or she doesn't give you any choice?"
Joochan nodded his head, "she asked. She said she can erase my memory if I choose not to join the party. But I choose to accept her request."
"But why? Don't you want a normal life?"
"I have a normal life until I become a warrior and I do like it too! But Princess Sungmi said if in the mirror world the Darkness Lord is really awakened, then it means in my world, chaos will happen too. Well, there might be no weird creature attacking wildly in my world, but there will be a lot of hatred - so it means war, and also a lot of natural disasters will happen. If I really have a chance to prevent it, even though no one knows about it, I'm okay, as long as I'm useful."
"But you know that you might die while doing your mission as a warrior, right?"
"I know about that. I have seen how hard my friends are fighting against the evil guardian's plot. But I'm not afraid. I wanna be useful until my last breath. And I know I'll be safe. We have Princess Sungmi, my friends are strong and I have you now, Prince Soulling. I don't even scared of this forest anymore."
