Tero problem.
After speaking with Yoshi at the nursery, he hurried to the Red Hall and patiently waits for LianBi to give him audience.
He has to wait for a little while, since the Emperor is always busy, but eventually he himself comes to the door to invite him inside.
He walks in, keeping a bit of distance for now.
"Is there anything you need, my love?" asks LianBi, giving him a soft smile.
He takes a little breath. "Why didn't you tell me what Tero asked you?" He bites his lip and looks down, always fearing to be too insolent and push himself too far.
LianBi tilts his head. "In truth, I just forgot to mention, despite I wanted to. It has been a very busy period..." He approaches Bang-sul and places his hands on his shoulders. "Please, don't be offended by my lack of consideration. I... was absolutely certain General Yung would reject him, especially since I imposed him to give Tero a chance."
He looks up at him, still biting his lip. "I am afraid of what he could become, if he stays there with the General... he is still vulnerable and... suitable to wickedness..."
"Are you as well?"
He is surprised by the question, neither in a positive nor negatively he way. "Ani... not anymore."
LianBi softly caresses his head.
"May I... ask you a favour?"
"You don't need to ask me for permission to do that. I'd answer, it's about time you finally asks me for something." The Emperor smiles at him.
"Please... take Tero out of there... he shouldn't become an Imperial Assassin, I don't think it's a good idea..."
LianBi sighs deeply. "I have granted him this chance, I do have the power to take it back. But if I did that, without any reason, what would he think? I don't want him to believe I have been playing tricks or fooling him. Not to mention General Yung would probably turn rather displeased."
"He is so fragile right now, if he takes as a model that cruel man what will he become? What will General Yung make out of him...?"
LianBi sighs again. "I understand your concern and it's mine too. I didn't want him to join the IAs either, but if this is what he thinks he wants, how would he react towards us if I take my word back?"
Bang-sul looks down. "Everything is lost..."
"Not necessarily. I said I prefer to avoid to impose my power on them directly, but there are other ways."
He moves his gaze on LianBi. "Other ways?"
LianBi nods. "You could try to scare Tero, to convince him that he made the wrong choice. If he came to ask me to take him out of there, everything would turn out much better."
"I don't know if I could manage to do this... he is stubborn and unyielding..."
"You can try. If it doesn't work, his legal father could intervene. Tero is underaged, if his father testified he acted against his will, I would be forced to nullify his admission. Finally, the most annoying option would be to change General Yung's mind, have him sending Tero away by his own will."
After spending some cute time with LianBi, he leaves the Red Hall, deep in thoughts and ready to tell Yoshi about the matter, since he was so concerned about it.

He clenches his fists at his words. This makes him suffer much more than he shows.
"She belongs to me, just as much as he belongs to Jeonha and you belong to your mother. It wasn't you to choose your name, why should she?"
He glances at his fists. "You want to punch me too?
I couldn't, I was 1 minute old when they chose it. She is older though, did you at least talk to her first?" He sighs.
He opens his hand when he asks that. "I won't give you the joy to run to your umma with tear in eyes and a broken nose from the evil monster. You will have to find someone else to help you with that. I can't imagine how hard you get when your mommy says she will beat up the mean guy to avenge you."
He shakes his head. "Next I'll talk with the brave men who will come to me for her hand."
He takes another deep breath, shutting his eyes. "I don't run to eomeoni every time..." He mutters. "Instead, STOP TO INVOLVE HER IN EVERYTHING JUST TO SADDEN ME, CAN YOU?"
He suddenly turns around to look at BangSul. "Please help him out and cheer him up, I clearly can't bring anything but displeasure to him. I probably should run to cry to umma now." He bows slightly.
He clenches his fists at his words. "What men? What are you doing?!"
He nods. "I can. It's you who like her so much, thought it'd make you at ease, you seem so edgy."
Bang-sul. "I'd rather go to cry to Jeonha instead..." he murmurs In a sad tone.
"I'm doing nothing. But I guess that in your mind, i can only be up to some evil plot at every passing hour. Sorry to disappoint, my training will start soon so I don't have so much time for 'hobbies'."
