THE CURSED ONE - THE BOY WHO CHALLENGE DESTINY

The Winner of the Battle - 2

"Miss Imma, are you really alright? Are you hurt?" Hyung Jae asks softly, he is worried about Princess Imma's condition in case Princess Imma is injured but doesn't want to admit it.

"I'm fine, Mr. Hyung Jae, you don't need to worry." Princess Imma who walked beside Hyung Jae said.

Hyung Jae is still amazed by the end of the fight, he wonders why Princess Imma, who directly received such a powerful technique from her opponent, her blood flow didn't affect at all, and her breathing still looked normal as usual. Hyung Jae wanted to ask in detail how the Princess managed to withstand that final attack, an attack that even someone at the peak of the master level would find difficult to take on without being deeply injured. In the end, Hyung Jae cancels his question because he felt that Princess Imma might want it to be her secret.

"Forgive us, Miss Imma, this supposes not to be you and your guards battle, but in the end, you have to involved in this matter and risk your life against an enemy who has no correlation with you or with Southern Desert Tribe." Hyung Jae said regretfully.

"No, don't ever think like that again, Mr. Hyung Jae. I and my team were the ones who ask to join directly in this mission, whatever happens to us is our responsibility, you don't have to feel guilty about it." The Princess replied while looking at Hyung Jae.

"You are right, for next time I beg you to be more careful if there are any strong opponents we better fight them together, I will feel very guilty if you get hurt in this mission." Hyung Jae tells the reason why he's worried about her.

"Don't worry Mr. Hyung Jae, hardly for anyone in this world to put a wound on Princess Imma." Munjim who heard the conversation replied to Hyung Jae's words.

"Feeling cocky is not good, Mr. Munjim, there will always a sky above the sky," Princess Imma replied to Munjim, "Besides, Mr. Hyung Jae has a point, working together can make it easier for a team to complete the mission."

"Forgive my impudence, My Lady." Munjim immediately apologized and realized his mistake.

"So, what are we going to do after this?" Asked Princess Imma to Hyung Jae.

"We're going to the inn to rest and tomorrow morning we'll gather at the En Valley Inn tavern to discuss the next steps, but first I will take this bad guy to the Tiger Claw sect when we arrive at En Valley City, they must be able to do better interrogation."

"That's a pretty good plan, anyway, I need to clean my body up at the inn." Princess Imma said without any bad intention.

Princess Imma's answer made Hyung Jae's dirty mind drift to imagining the beauty of the princess's body when she took a shower, but he hurriedly wiped it out of his mind. Hyung Jae's face blushed because of that dirty mind, He was grateful that it was still dark enough so the reddish change in his face was not noticed by the princess.

After walking for a while, they finally arrived in En city and moved according to the plan, Hyung Jae took Yong The Butcher to the Tiger Claw sect prison while Princess Imma going back to the inn. Meanwhile, Munjim offers to accompany Hyung Jae to the sect's prison and Hyung Jae accepts his offer because he thinks if two people's explanation will be better than only his explanation.

Hyung Jae and Munjim reporting about everything that happened in the Gaja mountains to the Tiger Claw sect guards, and they also hand over Yong the Butcher to them. The guards immediately took over Yong from Hyung Jae's hand and brought Yong inside the area of the Tiger Claw sect. 

Hyung Jae and Munjim feel in the guards were acting weirdly, instead of asking them any question regarding the kidnappers that they brought, they prefer to ask Hyung Jae and Munjim to get out of the place immediately with no further explanation. These weird acts from the guards make Hyung Jae and Munjim felt a little suspicious because usually, in the other sect, their guard would ask a lot of questions when they brought someone who suspected of being a criminal to decide the appropriate punishment. Hyung Jae and Munjim decided to leave the Tiger Claws sect's prison with a big question mark in their mind and return to En Valley Inn. 

The sun almost rises when they arrived at En Valley Inn, Hyung Jae and Munjim immediately returned to their rooms and planned to meet again this noon at the En Valley Inn Tavern. Hyung Jae enters his rented room and sees Jin still in a deep sleep, seeing Jin makes him remembers that he still has not asked where the girl that was saved by Munlim. But he decides not to think too much about it because he trusted Miss Imma and her bodyguards, he knows if the girl is in a safe place right now.

Hyung Jae entering the bathroom to clean himself, he enjoying the warm water that touching his body, this time he spent long enough time inside the bathroom until the sun has risen on the eastern horizon. Feeling refresh after taking a bath makes him sleepy, he decided to sleep for a while to regain his full energy before he meets Princess Imma and her bodyguards this noon. Hyung Jae lay down on the bed and began to close his eyes, after exerting a lot of energy during the fight will always a good sleep to speed up the recovery of the body and internal strength. It only took a few moments until Hyung Jae was completely asleep on top of a comfortable bed.

The sun has already risen a spear high when Hyung Jae heard the noise of many people from the front of his room, he woke up and find out that Jin was not inside the Inn room. Intrigued by the commotion outside his room, he opened the door and found dozens of Tiger Claw sect's guards has standing in front of his room with Jin has been caught by them.

Hyung Jae, who was confused by this view immediately asked the guards, "What's going on here, gentlemen? Why did you arrest that child?" Hyung Jae askes curiously.

"You and this child must come with us, you are accused of k********g the only daughter of the Golden Flame Sect Leader, Ja Som Fa. You must be responsible for your actions and return Miss Youra to us safely," One of the guards named Wanggai said with an assertive voice.

"What do you mean ?! Didn't I already hand over the Kidnapper to one of your friends last night ?!" Hyung Jae was confused with the guard's explanation.

"Don't talk too much, just come with us quickly, otherwise, don't blame us if we have to use violence against you." Wanggai bluffed harshly.

Hyung Jae wanted to fight them because he knows that he is innocent, but seeing Jin in their hands makes him discourage, it is too risky for Jin's safety if he fought the guards right now. No other choice, he decided to follow these guards' orders, but he asked permission to take his sword inside the room before he follows them. They permit him but when Hyung Jae stepping outside his room, two of the guards roughly snatching his sword from his hands.

"Hey, watch out for that sword! Be careful or you'll regret it." Hyung Jae grumbles that the guards treat their swords unproperly.

"Shut up! Don't talk too much, just come with us !." Wanggai shouted back at Hyung Jae.

Hyung Jae and Jin were escorted by two guards beside him and four guards behind him, while Wanggai and several other guards walked in front of Hyung Jae. 

After being treated like criminals throughout the road, both Hyung Jae and Jin were forced to enter the Tiger Claw sect prison. Inside the prison, they meet Princess Imma and Munjim that also have been Caught. Hyung Jae and Jin put in the same prison with Munjim, while Princess Imma being held alone, next to their prison.

"Misa Imma, do you know what's exactly going on in here?" Hyung Jae was confused by this incident.

"Calm down, Mr. Hyung Jae, I also don't know what happened, it looks like we have to be patient for a while in this prison." Princess Imma answered.

"How about the young girl and Munlim?" Hyung Jae asked back.

Hearing Hyung Jae's question, Munjim immediately gave him a code to lower his voice down.

"What's wrong, Mr. Munjim?" Hyung Jae asked Munjim because he doesn't understand the meaning of Munjim's code. 

"Shhh... don't talk too loud, Princess Imma predicted that our arrest was related to the k********g case of that little lady, we have to be careful when we talk about it, inside a prison, even wall can have ears," Munjim Explained more briefly to make Hyung Jae understand.

Hyung Jae nodded, he looked at the two guards who were in front of the main door of the prison, they didn't seem to hear what Hyung Jae, Princess Imma, and Munjim were talking about right now.

"Why do you have such an analysis, Miss Imma?" Hyung Jae asked as quietly as possible to Princess Imma.

"Because they arrest us right after we handed over Yong to the guards of the Tiger Claw sect. I, Munjim, and Munlim have been in this town for several days and walks in front of the guards several times, but they didn't do anything to us. Only after our battle last night, this incident happened. The other thing that also makes me suspicious is the weird act of the Tiger Claw guards to you and Mr. Munjim last night." Princess Imma explained the reason for her suspicion," I suspect that the kidnapper's group has a close relationship with the Tiger Claw sect, but this is just a conjecture, not necessarily true because there is no evidence, yet. If only I had asked Yong more strictly last night, we would have known the truth earlier. "

"I can understand your analysis, Miss Imma. Then what about that child and Munlim? Where are they now?" Hyung Jae asked again with a low voice.

"About them, forgive me, Mr. Hyung Jae, I can't tell you right now, but I can guarantee if they are hiding in a safe place." Princess Imma answered back.

"Okay, I trusted you, Miss Imma. What will we do now?" Hyung Jae asked again.

"We'll see first what will happen after this, I suspect they will come and interrogate us about the location of Munlim and the young girl. If they truly ask about it, then it is certain enough that the kidnapper group that we eliminated last night had close ties to the Tiger Claw Sect. The chances are that the Tiger Claw sect enlisted the help of those kidnappers to kidnap the Golden Flame Sect Chief's daughter so that people's suspicions would not lead directly to the Tiger Claw sect. " Princess Imma explained in detail to make Hyung Jae understand.

"In that case, we must first know who the opponents are and who are the comrades in this matter before deciding what action we will take later." Hyung Jae replied.

"You're right, Mr. Hyung Jae." Princess Imma responded in agreement.

Munjim who was listening to their conversation also nodded in agreement. Jin could more or less understand what the three adults were talking about, he knew that the young lady in their conversation was Youra and he is happy after he knows if Youra was saved, even though he could not meet her at this time.
