His side of the story.

Three painful weeks, this is what they have been. Even though outside I looked really happy, content to be back at my land, my place, my home but I was not. When the king, the young princess and general returned to their respective kingdom, the whole country danced in joy, there was a display of fireworks for two whole weeks and extravert feasts in which all noble people were invited, after all, it had been nine months.

This celebration was not of our victory, as obviously we were defeated but the land was given back to my father in a silver platter, and even when considering the self-respect he had no choice but to take back the land. However, there was still one condition. Myung-Dae would have a say in the important government feuds.
