The soldiers were shocked by the presence of the King and Queen there. But I don't know what's on their minds. More precisely, there are many things they think about. One of them is that they are afraid of getting punished for having injured Yura even though the girl is the Queen's twin sister and the future King's concubine, especially the warrior who fought against Yura was the one who felt the most fear right now.

"Greetings all of you received, now rise up. " said the King who felt uneasy to see all those who knelt there.

The soldiers rose again and stood up straight including the soldier who had fought against Yura. However, the soldier still kept his head down.

"Yura, what are you doing here?" ask the King

"I just want to look around and practice here" Yura replied

"Geez, Yura .. how can you get hurt like that?" the Queen asked as she looked at the bloodstains on the upper arm on Yura's dress that looked scratched.

"This is an award while practicing, Her Majesty the Queen. Just a small wound, you don't have to worry .. " replied Yura

"It's easy for you to say that" said the Queen

At that time Pevita approached Yura and came face to face with the King and Queen.

"I apologize for my carelessness, Your Majesty the King, Your Majesty the Queen. I will only bandage Miss Yura's wounds so as not to become infected," said Pevita who then directly tied Yura's upper arm using her handkerchief.

"Thank you, Pevita .. " said Yura who was only replied with a small nod by Pevita.

"I'm sorry for being negligent in the duty you gave, Her Majesty the Queen ." said Pevita.

"Pevita, did Her Majesty ask you to follow me?" ask Yura

"That's because I feel worried and want to make sure you're okay, Yura." Instead of Pevita giving the answer, the Queen answered Yura's question.

"You can confirm it now, as you can see that I'm fine. While this wound is nothing to me," Yura said

"It's only natural that Her Majesty is worried about me because as a sister it is appropriate to be like that. However, you don't have to feel the same way, Pevita. So are you, Rio. I'm really fine" continued Yura who spoke to Pevita and Rio. Since Yura knew in addition to giving Pevita a task, the Queen must have given Rio the same task as well.

"Yura, don't you usually wear a veil? Then, where's your veil?" ask the King

"It was unintentionally missed while practicing earlier, Sire," Yura replied

Even so, the King saw Yura's veil lying on the ground with a sharp weapon. There was also a sword lying there.

"Isn't that your veil, Yura? Then, who is the owner of the sword without the protective sheath? With a single look, I could tell that the wiggle on Yura's veil was exactly the same as the one that the blade would leave behind. Even the injury to your arm was caused by that sword, right? So, who here really wants to hurt my sister-in-law?" ask the King

"There's nothing like it, Sire. I asked for company to practice," replied Yura

"All right, I understand what you mean. However, who was the one who accompanied you to practice earlier?" ask the King

In the end the soldier who kept his head down because of fear was back on his knees.

"Please, Your Majesty. I admit guilt for what I have done."

"Nobody made a mistake, Sire. We just practiced together. If I may know, just like Her Majesty the Queen, did Her Majesty also ask the Privy Lord to follow me as did Private Pevita and Warrior Rio?" ask Yura

"His Counselor is here, more precisely there .." replied Yura while pointing towards a place where Arvan was standing.

Arvan walked closer to the King. Just like when the presence of the King and Queen there, the soldiers were also unaware of Arvan's whereabouts there until they were astonished to see the Great Lord of the Kingdom.

"Only you are aware of my existence here, Yura. Because everyone's eyes are only on you" Arvan said

"What do you mean, Arvan?" ask the King

"Maybe you can ask one of the soldiers here, Your Majesty. As soon as he saw Yura enter this place, some said that she was the future concubine of His Majesty. What do I hear is true, Sire?" ask Arvan

Yura did not expect that Arvan would discuss this when he had tried to hide such rumors from the King and Queen. However, Yura was also curious about the answer the King would give to the question from Arvan.

"I'd also like to hear your answer to that question, Sire. Therefore, I beg you to give me an answer. How do you feel about me?" ask Yura

"Of course, you're my sister-in-law. No more than that and I never had any plans to add a concubine in this Royal Palace. Who actually said something like that?" ask the King again after giving an answer as a clarification.

"Thank God, then. I don't know who said it. It just sounded out in a row. However, thank you for your answer, Sire," Yura replied

The soldiers there did not expect that Yura would defend all of them by covering up the truth about the rumors circulating in the training ground, especially the soldier who had fought against Yura.

"Miss, forgive me for what I did. However, what kind of thing did Miss want after winning the fight against me earlier?" The soldier who had been defeated dared to ask.

"What did he mean before I was barred from betting here?" ask the King

"This is also me who asked him to make the training session feel more exciting. However, we just wanted to play around a little and had no other intent. Likewise with what I want, there is nothing. ", said Yura.

"Where can it be like that, Miss. Please say your request, Miss."

"There's nothing I want to do but practice in this place and it's been done, so there's nothing else. However, if I may ask for something, I want you to take the money from me beforehand. Think of it as an introductory gift from me and I'm practicing all of you eating, so use the money as you like" Yura said

"I admit it's great to be able to practice fighting with you, Lord Warrior. Keep practicing hard with all the colleagues who are here. Then, remember this as your training note that you still have to try to cover up the many slit points on the fighting technique you are doing" Yura continued

"That's it, quickly you come with me, Yura. You can practice a lot of other people when you yourself have not eaten since morning. It is only fitting that you can be injured while practicing the fight earlier," said the Queen

"Alright, Her Majesty the Queen .." said Yura.

"Because it seems like my sister-in-law wants it, so I won't give any punishment to all of you. However, I do not want to hear that there are false rumors spreading again. You are all my soldiers, do not let it not be tough, you just act like a girl who likes to gossip. Continue your training" said the king

"good. Understood, Sire."

After that, the King and Queen went away from there. So did Yura, Arvan, Rio, and Pevita.

Yura felt a little relieved because at least the problem could be solved in that place. No matter what others thought of him, the most important thing was that the King had already given clarification from his own mouth.

Just like Yura, the soldiers were relieved that thanks to the Queen's twin sisters who kept defending them, they were all not punished by the King.
