The hidden village

I killed everyone from them to the last one, I sank my sword deep into their skins, and I killed them like a wild animal would. After satisfying my blood thirst I returned to my son and the slave family waiting for me by the river and take on the boat. "My mother's family lives in the next village we will hide there", the slave mother said. " I need to return to my master he must be in danger", I replied to her. "You just lost your family, you should mourn them", she replied to me. "I will take their corpse and do the final rite and return to my master immediately", I said as we got off the boat. I make sure they get to the house safe then I return to the boat to bury my family. After burying them I slept by their grave till the next morning and began my journey back to my master. I am sure he will be in danger, "I pray he is still alive", I thought as I put my sword on the horse and hopped on it too. My family's dead bodies keep flooding my head as tears roll down my eyes, but I have a stronger commitment to help put the crown prince on the throne because I know he will take care of the people first. I need my son to be safe so I need to help create a new country. I keep riding on inside the forest and rivers without resting until I see the army flags ahead of me before I slow them. My horse is like me, we have fought many battles together before the crown prince found us and after. He is very fierce too. His Majesty has given me the royal command to protect the crown prince with my life, he can't die before me. As I got near the camp, I tied my horse to a tree, and I saw our tenth on fire, As predicted the crown prince was in trouble so I sneaked into the camp, to the general tenth to hear what they do with the crown prince. No one was inside but I saw him afar talking with a soldier, sending him a message as he rode off. I ran quietly to my horse to ambush the messenger. I caught him not very far as I overspeed him and hit him from behind before he noticed me coming. I tie him to a tree. "Where are you going", I said as I searched through him. And brought out the letter given to him by the General. "If you know who you are messing with you will run away now", he said smiling. "he didn't know me, so he is not from the army going to the border and not from the palace", I thought inwardly. "You are from Kim's private army", I said confronting him. His eyes widened in surprise. "If you want to keep your life don't open the message and run away now", he said again. "If you know who you are talking to, you won't decide to use fear on me", I said as I gap his mouth. I opened the letter and saw the message. It's a death confirmation message sent to the Kim Lord Muyoung that they will finish the crown prince in the forest with his aid that helped him escape and that they should make sure I didn't return alive. I tore the letter in anger and slit the throat of the soldier. I put his head in the bag on the horse and sent the horse to its master with the head badge I used. I wait till the horse runs out of my sight before I jump on my horseback and head into the forest to save my crown prince. ***Crown Prince Yi San part*** The next day I woke up and the servant was gone. I quickly checked around the tenth and saw him coming back with some people. I was about to run when I heard him speak. "The crown prince is different from his father, you should let him speak and hear what he has to say", he convinced them. I sneak inside and pretend like I am still sleeping. "Wake him, the enemies might still be around, we can't risk them tracing us back to our town beneath the hills", one of the people said. He came inside and woke me up. "Your Highness, we need to go now, I met some of our people on patrol, we have to follow them in now", he said as he woke me up. "What, which people", I said as I pretended I was still sleeping. "Some of your people escaped into the hills from the Kim family, I will explain on the way", he said as he exited the tenth and I followed him. I saw some familiar faces among them, he was sent to exile on a lonely island for lying to the king but here he is among other people. As I was about to talk, someone hit me hard on my head and I fell unconscious. When I woke up, I was tied to a chair in a dark room, I could hear them disagreeing with themself in the second room. I take time to think about how I will escape from here alive when a servant enters. "he is awake", he shouts. Few people enter the room and surround me. "You are the son of an incompetent and wicked king who delivered us all into the hands of the Kim muyoung for death, Why should we let you leave", one of them said with an old cracking voice. Who are these people that were bold to speak ill of the king, they didn't fear death. "Rang Min I trusted you but you delivered me into the hands of the enemies", I said as I saw him among the people standing. "Our leader will give her command, I will do the honor to take your head from your neck, weak one", one of them cut me from speaking. A figure enters the room and they are all quiet, this must be their leader. He sat on the chair at the end of the room and they moved me closer to the middle of them There was a dead silence for a while then the leader broke the silence. "Rang Min, stand and explain why you brought this traitor to our secret village, If not for your father who helped found this village, I would have your head by now, you risk all our lives", the leader finally speaks and it's not a he as I predicted but she. A young female. "how they all listen to a young lady to lead them", I thought inwardly. "No, my leader, he is different from his father, he can give his life to protect his people, he saved me even when I was sent to betray him", Rang miMinaid. "Or he is weak like his father", she cut him off. "I heard he was a strong warrior beside him, Where is he, or he has jet off to save himself since the crown prince can't save him", she continues. "The Kim family is after his life and we are the only people who can save him", Rang Min said convincingly. "his father is the reason we are here from our motherland because we trusted the king and went against the Lord Kim for him but he abandoned us for death to save his neck and his sons", the leader said angrily as she stood up. They all bowed down. She threw her sword to the ground in front of me. "I challenge you into a fight to the death with me", she said eventually. "No leader, we can't risk getting you harmed", one of her people said. "You think this weak prince can scratch me", I will take him out in a minute", she said boldly. "If you can last half an hour with me without dying, I will hear you out", she said as she drew closer to me and revealed her face. She is very beautiful, like a goddess I couldn't unlock my eyes from hers I nod my head in acceptance. "Throw him in the dungeon with the rest doomed to death, he will have his death tomorrow and we will all have our revenge for our loved ones caused by him and his father(the king)", she said and they all shouted for joy. I could see Rang Min sitting on the ground in sadness. I was taken to the dungeons, It was very dark I could hardly see the rest prisoners. They were all weak lying helplessly on the ground waiting for their death, I thought. At midnight I heard a tiny voice calling me I couldn't sleep too "Your Highness, this is the key, we should escape from here before the challenge tomorrow", a familiar voice said. "Rang Min", I call out. "Your Highness", he replied. "Where will we run off to, I will stay and fight to my death of that what will make her hear me out", I replied to him "I can't let them kill you, they all lost their loved ones because the king betrayed them, they won't stop until they have your neck, I thought they would fight with us as we went against the Kims but I was the only want revenge", he said as he tries to open the door. "stop right now and return to your bed, I will fight tomorrow", I stop him. "Even without Kang Yun", he asked. I nod my head, they didn't know what happened when I was away, I will prove to them that they can follow me by defeating their leader, I have to prove that even if it means risking my life. I will change my destiny tomorrow in that fight arena.
