Blessing Curse (Curse of Blessing)
4. Ruler's Palace

Gi Tae felt a caress from a soft hand on his face, it seemed that for the first time in Gi Tae's life he felt a dream like this. A dream that felt so real, like the dreams he had before, but this was different. If he usually only dreamed about hunting and curses, then, this time she dreamed of being caressed lovingly and it felt like she was in heaven with a soft and comfortable bed to make her eyes slowly open.

Sure enough, he was in heaven. Gi Tae saw a beautiful female figure who smiled right in front of him, her face smooth and shining like the goddess, her hands were also smooth typical of the people of heaven.

Gi Tae smiled at him, he felt that the arrow that stuck his chest had really made him die. There was a feeling of sadness when he remembered everything he had gone through in the world with his parents and had to be willing to leave them in this way, but the feeling of pleasure is more dominating because now he is accompanied by a very perfect goddess.

"Have you finished imagining?" the girl who had been standing near the door by looking at Sazhawa and Gi Tae finally raised her voice. His hands were folded over his chest haughtily, his lips grinning cynically towards Gi Tae, naturally he was able to know Gi Tae's current thoughts.

This makes Gi Tae realize that he is not in heaven. He hurried up and sat down in his bed at this moment and turned towards Mizhawa in astonishment then followed by looking back at Sazhawa and getting more astonished.

"Loh... y'all? me? I'm not in heaven?" Gi Tae pointed at the two girls and then pointed his index finger at himself. Just like most fools do.

Sazhawa sighed while looking at the annoyed Mizha.

"Why? did I realize it wrong?" Mizha denied Sazha's breath indifferently after learning that Sazha was about to nag her again.

Sazhawa could not say anymore and just rolling her eyes turned her eyes back to Gi Tae.

"Did you remember? we saved you in the woods." Sazhawa tries to gently draw Gi Tae's attention because she just looked around him in confusion.

Gi Tae finally focused his gaze back on Sazhawa. He remembered their faces.

"Rabbit? the arrows?!" Gi Tae frantically recalls that he was hit by an arrow. "How am I still alive??" he asked himself as he fumbled over the injured part.

"Are you deaf? we saved you!" Mizha snapped at Gi Tae who was acting foolishly in front of the king's daughters.

Sazha and Gi Tae stare at Mizhawa's shock. Sazha was out of her mind with her sister's attitude. While Gi Tae is a guest in his kingdom who should be more appreciated.

"Yes... Even though I did not participate in your foolish rescue, but are you not still in our kingdom?" Mizha slowly approached and loudly informed her that she was now dealing with the king's daughter.

"Kingdom? me??" Gi Tae still can't think logically.

Finally Sazha sat on the edge of the bed and gently squeezed Gi Tae's left hand.

"Right now you are in the kingdom of Hira" said Sazha patiently "i am Hira Sazhawa, the second daughter of King Hira Uchiyama, she is my sister Hira Mizhawa." while pointing her face to point Mizhawa on her left side slightly backward, Sazha introduced herself "she's a little tempramental." followed by a soft whisper into Gi Tae's ear to melt the atmosphere.

"I can hear it, Sazha!" Mizhawa glanced in annoyance at his brother.

"And if you may know, what's your name, handsome?" Sazha winked her right eye towards Gi Tae. It was the usual thing he did when meeting a handsome man the entire time.

Of course this makes Gi Tae flabbergasted, he is shocked by the behavior of princess Sazhawa. His heart was beating so hard that it might be heard by Sazha.

Gi Tae suddenly stood up and bowed to worship before Sazhawa and Mizhawa in fear. He only realized they were the princesses of the king, and Gi Tae casually spoke to them. Don't ask, it's a little late. Jezz.

"Pardon the servant of the princess, this selfless servant deserves to be punished!" Gi Tae resigned to his carelessness by continuing to apologize while worshiping.

Sazha was surprised at the weirdness with Gi Tae's attitude, wasn't she smiling and fine, what happened to her? thought in the mind.

"It is good that you are conscious. Now you must be hanged for your disrespect!" Mizhawa reads Gi Tae's mind and deliberately scares him, she looks happy with the sight before her.

Gi Tae feels his life is really on the edge. She was previously harvested by Mizhawa's daughter and after surviving, she was hanged. What other curse has he brought? isn't the curse just kissing? this wasn't in his grandfather's script.

Mizhawa giggled at the look of fear on Gi Tae's face and felt happy to have made others suffer.

"Mizhawa, stop! you're not sane, are you?!" Sazha could not stay silent watching Gi Tae get scared and raised her body to stand on equal footing with them.

Gi Tae finally stood up and remained while looking down in fear. It was never imagined in his life that he would end up at the gallows of the kingdom of Hira.

"No one will punish you, handsome, come here" Sazha calmed down the panicked Gi Tae. She doesn't hesitate to hold Gi Tae's hand to make him calmer.

Mizhawa just rolled her eyes annoyed with her brother who was always overreacting.

--

After things have improved enough, Sazha advises Gi Tae to rest again, because although the rest of the wound does not appear on Gi Tae's chest anymore, it feels like it will return if he runs out of steam. That's a magic arrow by the way.

Obviously Gi Tae won't be able to rest in peace, knowing he's inside the palace, and he's the "Blessing Curse" the bearer of the blessing curse that has been targeted by both witches and the seven kingdoms.

He analyzed from the attitude of the two princesses of the king earlier, it seemed like Mizhawa could read minds, it was fortunate that Gi Tae had not thought about this at all before. And for Sazhawa, Gi Tae is not yet sure what his magic power is, whether he can make people feel calm because when he is near him, he always feels comfortable, orukan makes others fall in love because it can make his heart beat fast.

Whatever it is, what Gi Tae has in mind right now is to run away from this palace. Right, but no one was watching him, he had to run away immediately.
