Chapter: 204
“Take care of the girl cadets.”
From thinking about the group training or dormitories, Yeowun thought that girls needed to be with girls and Hou Sangwha was the best within the girl group. Now, two tags were left.
“Next, Gallen.”
“Huh?”
“You lead one of the groups too.”
Yeowun gave Gallen a tag because the former 12th group cadets followed Gallen’s words more than anyone else.
“Thank you. I will do my best.”
Gallen, who didn’t think he would have such a chance, bowed to Yeowun.
“Lastly...
Yeowun turned to Hu Bong. New members became confused as none of them thought Hu Bong would be a leader. But the original seven members knew Hu Bong for his loyalty so they didn’t think it was strange. But Hu Bong shouted before Yeowun could speak.
“Master! I need to stay by your side at all times!”
“I see.”
The last tag then went to Ja Wumin. There were more powerful warriors here like Yu Paran, but they hadn’t won Yeowun’s trust yet.
After forming a new team and eating dinner, Yeowun met with Mun Ku alone at the back of the training room building. Mun Ku was red from embarrassment.
“Why did you hide the fact that you are a woman?”
‘I put a decent amount of effort into this one. It’s one of my masterpieces. You can use it for at least five years if you take care of it.’
It was what 12th Elder Huan Yi said to her when he gave it to her. It was created from pigskin and other various materials made to withstand against most shocks. It even changed the color of the skin when Huan Yi worked on his magic on it. She needed to take it off every day to let the air flow through and it required new glue, but Mun Ku gladly took it.
‘How did he find out?! You told me nobody would ever find out about it!’
Huan Yi claimed that no one would be able to realize that it was a mask. Yet Yeowun saw right through it and even found out that she was a girl.
‘Should I say that I am too ugly so I had to hide my face...? No, that’s too dumb.’
That excuse didn’t explain why she had to hide her gender. From what she experienced, Chun Yeowun didn’t seem like the type to trust others easily.
Her face turned from one to another with various expressions and she soon became depressed and Yeowun frowned. Mun Ku emotions were obvious on her face, much like Hu Bong. Mun Ku then looked up to Yeowun with begging eyes.
“Prince! Please don’t tell anyone about this!”
“...It’s not like you will be kicked out if the others know. Why are you hiding it?”
The Demonic Cult valued strength. It did not matter if the one who held the strength was a boy or a girl.
“Do you have a scar on your face? Or are you too ugly or something?”
“...”
Mun Ku became dumbfounded. She thought Yeowun would not believe such excuses, but since he asked so seriously, it seemed like Yeowun thought it was a plausible reason. Mun Ku sighed, “Whew... Prince, promise me.”
“Promise?”
“That you will never tell this to anyone! Ever!”
