"Han Sungmin was appointed as a Leader in the year 1997. He is the oldest of the bunch, and a man known for his serious nature. His abilities are widely known among all the clans, and he is ranked the second strongest member of the Red Clan."
"Heol! Han Minhyun, your ancestor is just like you— too serious," Soohyun mumbled.
Raising his head up, Han Minhyun shot Soohyun a glance, and noticing that, Soohyun turned her head back into the book. She did not want him to take this book away from her and lock her up.
"Your Majesty, I have received news on how Han Minhyun has found his fated one," Seo Taemin said whilst looking at Han Sungmin and wearing a smirk on his face.
"Just because he had married that girl from Yellow Clan doesn"t mean both of them are fated," Lee Hyunki voiced out in a light-hearted tone.
"Then again, the both of them could be fated as well," Hyunki added.
"If he had found his fated one, then that would be good," Han Sungmin voiced out in a nonchalant tone.
Seo Taemin propped his face on his hand, and smiling playfully at Sungmin, Taemin questioned, "Is that what you actually think, Han Sungmin?"
Ignoring the words from Seo Taemin, Han Sungmin waited for words from the King, Kim Namhyuk. Leaning back against his chair, the smile on Seo Taemin"s face grew to become wider.
"Too bad, you will not be able to control him any longer," Seo Taemin stated.
Oh Jaeho decided to interfere and said, "If Han Minhyun had found his fated one, it will be good news for all of us. Our Red Clan will strengthen."
"Order Han Minhyun to visit us with the one he married," Kim Namhyuk commanded.
"I have received reports on how Han Minhyun was recently under an attack from the members of Blue Clan. Judging by how they were able to break through the barrier, it seemed as if they have figured a new method out," Han Sungmin stated.
At that moment, a loud sound was heard. Nonetheless, none of them turned their head towards the direction of the voice. They were very much used to it. Hw.a.n.g Minjae had fallen asleep during a meeting once again.
"f.u.c.k! He really stinks!" Kim Taeseok exclaimed as he pinched his nose. Clear disgust was visible on his face.
"Ah! Kim Taeseok, the spy you have sent did not manage to bring any news until now. What a useless man you have put up for the task!" Seo Taemin commented, "Considering how slow you gather information, one would believe that you"re purposely doing so."
Slamming his hand on the table, Kim Taeseok stood up, and his chair slid backwards. His eyes glowered at Seo Taemin whilst Taemin wore a mischievous smirk on his face.
"Mind your tongue, Seo Taemin, or else I will have to remove it," Kim Taeseok threatened.
Kim Taeseok let out a mocking chuckle and voiced out, "Omo! I am really scared."
"Sit down, Kim Taeseok, and control your temper," Kim Namhyuk ordered sternly.
"Han Sungmin, Lee Hyunki, send the best members from your family to infiltrate into the base of the Blue Clan. If they could break through Han Minhyun"s s.h.i.+eld, this means that they are gaining power really fast and lots of it too.
This is an alarming situation and get Han Minhyun to return back here as soon as possible. If he has found his fated one, he should take his rightful position," Kim Namhyuk announced.
Turning towards Han Sungmin, Seo Taemin smirked.
Hearing the knocks on the door, Lee Soohyun raised her head and turned towards the direction of the door. Han Minhyun lifted his attention from the doc.u.ments.
"Come in," Han Minhyun ordered.
The k.n.o.b to the door was turned, and the door was pushed open. Seo Jihyun walked into the room, and on his face sat distress. Seo Jihyun bowed as stepped in front of Han Minhyun"s desk, and Lee Soohyun"s eyes scanned every one of his actions.
"What happened?" Han Minhyun questioned.
Seo Jihyun glanced at Lee Soohyun, and understanding what Jihyun was trying to imply, Minhyun added, "You can speak out loud."
Nodding, Seo Jihyun spoke out, "Boss, the Leaders suspect that Moon Jiwoo-ssi is your fated one, and the King wants you to visit him…"
Turning to face Soohyun, Jihyun continued, "With Moon Jiwoo-ssi. He also wanted to discuss you about the recent attacks."
Hearing each one of Seo Jihyun"s words clearly, Lee Soohyun"s eyes widened, and pointing to herself, she said, "Me?"
Han Minhyun"s eyes sharpened, and he questioned, "Why is she needed? I already made it clear on how I don"t want the position of a Leader."
"Boss, I tried to say that, but no one can go against the King"s order," Jihyun spoke out, "Boss, if you don"t go there, he might come to find you personally. Moreover, hiding the fated one is a serious offense."
A mask of nonchalance was on Han Minhyun"s face. Looking at the scene before her, Soohyun could guess that everything was tense and serious.
Han Minhyun said, "I"ll see what I can do about it. However, Soohyun absolutely can not be taken there unless or until she is properly trained."
Jihyun nodded and spoke out, "I"ll try to delay this as much as possible."
"You can leave now," Han Minhyun spoke out.
With one last bow towards Han Minhyun, Seo Jihyun turned his back on Minhyun and walked towards the door. Wearing a smile on her face, Soohyun waved a "bye" towards Seo Jihyun.
Looking towards Han Minhyun, Lee Soohyun questioned, "Do I have to meet the great king of Red Clan?"
Han Minhyun nodded and vocalised, "Sooner or later you have to. It is obligatory."
"So, I die if I don"t?" Lee Soohyun raised one of her eyebrows.
"Something like that. As you had heard, the King wants to meet you. However, without being trained properly, you won"t be able to," Han Minhyun said, "So, as a result, your training will be starting from tonight."
"Why can"t I meet him without being trained? It is not like he is going to challenge me into a duel," Lee Soohyun voiced out.
"He won"t, but many others could try to attack you. You"re too weak at this point," Han Minhyun expressed.
"I know self-defense moves, although they are not enough to harm your kind," Lee Soohyun mumbled to herself.
