Blessing Curse (Curse of Blessing)
5. Camouflage Perfect

Gi Tae tries to escape by sneaking out of Sazhawa's room, opening two large door leaves and popping his head out first to make sure that things are safe.

After he thought that there was no one there, he immediately stepped into the right aisle slowly like a person about to break out. He actually also did not know if this direction he was heading in was the right path, which he definitely wanted to get out of this neighborhood soon.

From a different direction, Jang Na Yeong's daughter from Jang Gu kingdom saw a young man sneaking out of Sazha's daughter's room, Na Yeong clucked in awe by shaking his head. While looking at the young man from behind, Na Yeong continued to follow him.

"It's amazing that Sazhawa, now she's blatantly bringing men into her room." Na Yeong kept trying to follow her so that she would not lose track of the young man.

The hallway Gi Tae took was very quiet and there were no soldiers standing guard. It was quite strange for a palace that had a name like Hira. But he ignored her and just walked down the hall.

Upon arrival at a crossroads, Gi Tae had a dilemma to choose the path between right or left. Soon someone in warrior clothes appeared before him and grinned. This made Gi Tae shocked and confused.

"You running away?" the soldier asked Gi Tae casually and without showing any signs that he would hurt.

Gi Tae who was astonished to hear this they composed himself back, while continuing to wonder in his mind he nodded his head hesitantly.

"In this direction, handsome" the soldier pulled Gi Tae's hand and led the way to take a step towards the left.

Gi Tae with all his thoughts followed the soldier carefully. He did not expect that in the palace of Hira there are soldiers who have this personality. What because they only meet with his fellow soldiers every day, they can like the same sex.

Gi Tae shuddered at the horror of imagining it and pulled his hand back from the soldier's grasp.

The soldier stopped and looked at Gi Tae strangely, yet the soldier said, Gi Tae had interrupted him first.

"Uh... You walk first, I'll follow you from behind" Gi Tae with his fear of escaping before the soldiers.

Damn, he desperately needed this fellow to take him away from the palace, but why should a warrior like him meet him.

"Alright." the soldier nodded with a surprised face to Gi Tae's behavior.

As he continued walking, the soldier was curious about the origin and cause of Gi Tae being in Hira's palace.

"What are you doing here, why are you coming out of princess Sazha's room? have you spent the night with him?" the soldier raised both eyebrows casually. Considering it was still afternoon, he thought that Sazha and this young man must have been both for I don't know maybe two days.

"Not-no.. It's not like that!" Gi Tae waved his hand repeatedly to erase the bad thoughts of the soldier.

How could a soldier talk about his master like that. If Gi Tae wasn't the one on the run right now, he might have interrupted him. Gi Tae is not happy to hear this soldier talk bad about Sazhawa.

But he also did not dare to take the risk and the soldier's question clearly disturbed his mind.

Currently Gi Tae and the soldier have managed to get out of Hira's palace safely and without settling down. Wow, Gi Tae was amazed by her.

"Well if you don't want to admit it, it's safe with me." the soldier shook his head to confirm his trust. "And now that you've made it out, is there anything else I can help you with?" the soldier looked at Gi Tae with a sweet smile.

Gi Tae goosebumps looking at him, how could he possibly be as blatant as that in liking him, was he not ashamed of being seen by people? men's eating.

"Well if you say that, handsome. One day I'll definitely collect your promise" the not-so-tall and dashing-looking soldier in his uniform winked flirtatiously at Gi Tae.

"Oh god, you better curse me than to face someone like this" Gi Tae thought with goosebumps.

Gi Tae had indeed kissed the male victim of the curse, but he never thought at all that he would meet this kind of person, a man who tried to seduce him in an open room. It was fortunate that this warrior was not the one he had to face in order to unleash the curse.

After the incident, Gi Tae bowed for the last time and gasped to leave the palace and the unnatural people inside.

Upon arriving in the room, Sazhawa was surprised to see his room empty.

"Loh, where is he?" Sazha looked around for the young man who had not yet mentioned his name to every corner of the room.

"Are you looking for your date, princess Sazha?" Na Yeong entered her room and asked what she already knew.

Sazhawa turned her head back, towards the door of her room and got Na Yeong's daughter standing at the door while she leaned her arms over her chest in a very relaxed manner.

"You seen him??" Sazha asked Na Yeong in surprise "and what are you doing here?" he added.

Na Yeong let go of the folds of her hands and walked leisurely while looking through the contents of Sazhawa's room.

"I'm the one who helped her go" Na Yeong with her sweet smile proudly conveyed the shocking thing to Sazha "you know, I feel sorry for her, because she looks so innocent and frightened..." with a thin chuckle he added to Sazha's disappointment.

"I think he's pretty handsome though...it doesn't look like royalty, but charisma emanates, does it?" Na Yeong continued to talk about the man Sazha was looking for earlier while imagining the previous incident.

"Hey...! what's up?" finally Na Yeong's daughter asked Sazha's facial expression, which was confused, to look at her "why are you such a confused person?" he added with curiosity.

"Why did you let him go? I haven't even gotten to know her name yet!" finally Sazha vented everything to Na Yeong. She squeezed her own hair in frustration. "You have to take responsibility! you have to find it back for me." Sazha stared intently at Na Yeong's eyes with a curse.

"really? I thought you guys had spent two nights" Na Yeong said at the end of the sentence. He awkwardly looked at Sazha's eyes and gulped at her dry throat. He did not know that Sazha did not even know who the young man was. He felt guilty for one of his friends.

"And also, it's been happening since this afternoon" Na Yeong added hesitantly.

"Jang Na Yeong.... What have you done?! hhhhh!" Sazha is furious at her best friend and leaves with a stomp of her feet leaving her.

Jang Na Yeong is famous for having magic that can camouflage into a person or animal that he wants.

When she meets Gi Tae, Na Yeong disguises herself as a soldier and helps her escape from Hira's palace.

Although Sazhawa, her best friend, is furious with her, Na Yeong does not feel sorry for helping Gi Tae, a young man she does not know, to get out of the palace. Although Na Yeong actually felt guilty, on the other hand there was a sense of gratitude that relieved him because he felt Gi Tae was still far from sinful after hearing Sazha's explanation, and he has his own shadow with her in the future. Gi Tae has a different energy than people in general, Na Yeong thought.
