Bab 335: Rivals

None of them spoke for a while. Haejong watched their silent war. Kanji was unaffected but Mina was quivering in anger. Unlike her usually fiery temper, she was calm and cold which was even more ominous. 

Keeping her feelings under control, she said, "Get out of here and never come back. I won't tell my brother about today's events but from now on, don't talk to me. I'll be cordial to you in public for the sake of my brother, but that's it. We're no longer friends. Goodbye, Jang Kanji."

Kanji did not reply but stormed out, leaving Mina alone with Haejong. The latter opened his mouth to speak but Mina cut across him.

"I've checked your wound and it's not inflamed," she stated, turning away. "If you feel any itching, don't touch it. It'll be uncomfortable but leave it alone. I'll add a medical powder to help with the itching. Use it in the morning and at night before going to sleep."
