Chapter 4 Good evening your Majesty!

" his highness le duc de Nemours, his grace Dan Sae" 

The duke was  the first who entered the room soon followed by his orderldy and by his butler and servants. With a rapid movement he pointed where the servants should have put the gifts.

"good evening your majesty, I believed that it would be a good idea to bring with me a few presents from Europe, it would be an honor if you would like to accepte your majesty." the duke said bowing.

"Your highness, please have a seat, I will surely accept your gifts, I would like to introduce you my other guest, his highness the noble Do Hyun" the queen said.

"Nice to meet you" the duke said nodding.

"By the way, I really didn't excpected that a french could be so skilled in our language" the queen added.

"well,  korean isn't the only language I knew and surely it will help me in the project you're going to propose me your majesty" the duke said smirking.

"that's legit... then... Do Hyun'ssi, would you please explain our project to our guest so he will be able to organize everything that he needs?" the queen asked turning his head to the noble Do Hyun.

"As your wish your majesty. Your highness, your duty to the queen and to this country will be training and teaching a small group of guys from a few important families of Hanseong, i and her majesty would be gratefull if you want to accept our project" Do Hyun exposed calmly.

"well... what do you want me to teach them your majesty" the duke asked.

"Everything you belive that is important yur highness, everything that a normal Joseon citizen would never learn, an elite, Hwarang"

"I understand and I accept... the question is... when should I begin the lessons?" Maurice asked.

"Your highness can start tomorrow, if you want to meet them they're waiting just outside" this was the queen's answer.

the dinner proceeded, after an hour or so the duke asked for permission and went away. He was heading to the courtyard. During the walk he talked to DanSae abput the situation.

"so, are you calm now that the dinner is finished?" the duke asked to the orderly

"yes yur highness" Dan Sae answered

"good, because now I'm the one who is getting nervous... Hwarang.... at least it sounds good...do you know anything about them?" there were only  a few situations that could make the duke nervous, however this in particular didn't seem too weird for him... well... not weirder as a 19 years old European who teaches something to korean noblemen.

"well...the only thing I know right now is that my younger brother Hansung was called this morning to come here this evening... nothing more." Dan Sae answered looking a bit confused.

"good, then talk me about your brother" the duke asked curious.

"well...he's the most cute creature on earth... and I'm often so afraid of him to get hurt" Dan Sae said looking to the roof and smiling.

"aww... you always act like a cold blooded man but the here it is sweetheart" as the duke said it Dan sae blushed a bit so the duke added

"oh, there's no need to be ashamed, it is good to love your own brother... I'm wondering if he's just a bit as pure as you"

"well I..." Dan Sae was still trying to say something when the duke interrupted him once again.

"keep calm, I said it is ok, so where should we go now?"

"your highness wanted to visit the Hwarang" Dan Sae said

"yes I know, I was just asking for the way" Maurice said laughing

"oh please follow me" Dan Sae was now looking to the ground.

they passed through another section of the gardens, each part is so different from the other and still so beautiful and delightful, the mirrors of versailles or the snow of carskoe selo but this... especially at night, the moonlight reflected on the water of the few small lakes, the fresh wind breathing through the leaves of the trees. 

There was something sure, this place absolutely conquered the heart of the french noble. This natural beauty like a typical english picture.

"it is a bit cold out here, David would you please take me a...." the duke was asking for a jacket when Dan Sae used his one to cover the shoulder of his lord.

"th...thank y..."

"there is no need to thank me yout highness, are you warm now?" Dan Sae asked, the duke couldn't help but smile and answer

"yes..." 

"oh here we are, your highness, these will be your pupils" Dan Sae said pointing to a few guys that were waiting in the courtyard.
