Lady Ki saw Wang Hao in the Courtesan's house, and she halted at her place. "What happened, Lady Ki?" Her assistant asked him.
"Nothing," Lady Ki said and walked away.
Wang Hao stood outside the room of the woman whom he had met a few days ago. He extended his hand out to slide the door but stopped. He did not know how to face the young woman whom he had promised to protect.
He came out of his thoughts as the same woman opened the door. She bowed upon seeing him and told him to come inside. "I saw the reflection of General Wang on the door," the young woman said as she sat down around the table.
"Please make yourself comfortable, General Wang," she requested.
Wang Hao had opened his shoes near the door and came inside. He sat down, facing her. "Yin Na, forgive me for not protecting you well. Will you please tell me how you ended up in this house?" Wang Hao worriedly asked her. "Call me Brother," Wang Hao urged her.
Yin Na's eyes were filled with tears. "I am not Yin Na anymore. I have a new name and a new identity, General Wang. It is not good for you to come here," Yin Na stated. Wang Hao clenched his fist tightly. He cursed himself for not taking care of the young woman.
"For me, you are still Yin Na, the young sixteen years old girl, who called me Brother," Wang Hao stated. "What about your older brother? You told me that he--"
"He sold me off," Yin Na stated before Wang Hao could ask her.
Wang Hao was shocked upon hearing the truth. His eyes flickered, and his ears turned red because of the anger. "Yin Na, what happened? Please tell me. I promise you that I will turn everything right. Please trust me," Wang Hao stated and put his hand on the floor table.
"General Wang, there is nothing left. It is my new life. There is my new life, and I am good. General Wang does not need to worry about me," Yin Na stated. Her words were clear enough to tell that she did not want any kind of help from Wang Hao.
"Yin Na, I called you a sister. I will not let you stay here. Even if I have to burn this house to free you, I will do that. I made a mistake by not visiting you. Even my apologies will not suffice that mistake," Wang Hao affirmed. "Come with me. You will live with me in the Wang Residence," Wang Hao offered her.
Yin Na averted her gaze from Wang Hao. "General Wang is not my brother. So, he does not have any right to decide for me," Yin Na bitterly said. Wang Hao did not mind her words because he could understand the frustration of Yin Na. He did not want to imagine how much this young woman suffered in the Courtesan's house.
"Yin Na, do not think that fingers will be pointed at me just because I will bring you out of this house. I am the General of the Han Empire. I have the power to shut everyone's mouth for my younger sister," Wang Hao stated.
Suddenly the door opened. "Lady Yi, the royal inspector is here. He is waiting for you." The Courtesan informed Yin Na, who did not see that General Wang was present in her room. Wang Hao could not believe what he just heard. He stood up, holding his sword, and turned towards the woman who had just informed about the arrival of the Royal Inspector.
"Where is he?" Wang Hao furiously asked.
"General Wang," Immediately, the Courtesan lowered her gaze while murmuring his name. Yin Na stood up from her seat and came in front of Wang Hao.
"Please, don't do this," Yin Na pleaded with Wang Hao and got on her knees.
"So much drama!!" They heard another voice with which Wang Hao was familiar.
"Sixth Prince!" Wang Hao mumbled.
Lei Wanxi told the lady to get aside and went inside the drama. "What is the Prince doing here?" Wang Hao was confused to see Lei Wanxi at such a place.
Lei Wanxi took out a scroll from his pocket. "To give this to General Wang," Lei Wanxi replied and then went closer to Wang Hao. "Brother Sheng has sent this," he whispered in the ear of Wang Hao and stepped back.
"I will see you outside, General Wang," Lei Wanxi said and walked out of the room.
Wang Hao opened the scroll and read the message. It was an order of the Emperor to free Yin Na from the Courtesan House. Wang Hao did not know how to react at that moment. He did not want the Crown Prince to do this, but Sheng Li made things easier for him.
"It's the Emperor's order to set you free," Wang Hao told Yin Na and bent down on his knees. The Chief of the Courtesan came there as the news about Wang Hao's arrival had spread.
But in front of General Wang, the Chief couldn't say anything. The words were stuck in his mouth.
Wang Hao put his hand on Yin Na's shoulders and pulled her up along with him. "It's not too late. The Emperor has given the order to set you free. Forgive me for not looking for you," Wang Hao again apologized. Yin Na started weeping. Her cries reverberated not only in the room but also in the narrow hallway. Thus, bringing the attention of other people in the house.
Wang Hao removed his overcoat and put it around Yin Na. He wiped the tears off her eyes and told them to clear the way. The Chief gestured to the ladies to show the way to General Wang, and soon they both were out of the house.
The Royal Inspector had already left as he got the news that General Wang was also in the brothel house. Wang Hao saw a few soldiers around a carriage. He took Yin Na straight towards the carriage. A soldier opened the door, and Prince Wanxi waved at Wang Hao from inside. He helped Yin Na to get inside the carriage. Wang Hao also stepped inside the horse carriage.. The chauffeur started it and drove the carriage to Wang's Residence.
