SCARLET HEART, RYEO --Roman Under The Absolute Monarchy-- Three








Prince Wang Wook and Prince Wang So stared at each other with a drawn sword. “Hae Soo is my wife's cousin, nothing to do with the attempted murder of the crown prince”, Wang Wook defends, he never thought that girl was back in turmoil after repeating silly and strange, this time the girl's life even threatened in the hands of Wang So who got the nickname dog-wolf. A righteous prince kills. Whether Wang So will really harm Hae Soo, secretly Prince Wang Wook shudders, but he always puts a calm attitude.
“I lost track of the crown prince killer for Hae Soo”, Wang So looked at Wang Wook still in anger, handsome face that turned into really creepy.
“Do you still insist on shedding innocent blood?” Wang Wook is in difficult moments, he must rescue this girl or Madame Hae will curse her life.
“I'm just lost ....” Hae Soo's voice broke off, almost like sobs, time seemed to stop. Is this the last day for her? She followed her conscience to step into this forest, and now death was threatening right around her neck.
“I never knew you!” Wang So yelled, he really regrets why he should return to meet this girl in the wrong circumstances.  Hae Soo did not get to this forest in vain, what is this girl looking for? Wang So still felt anger boiling like a hot lava smearing all over his body.
Wang Wook did not want to argue longer, he threw a sword on the ground, “The palace guard will try to capture the crown prince's murderer, there's no reason to blame Hae Soo. Let Hae Soo, I guarantee”, Wang Wook's view never gets off Wang So's cold face, this time he really begs. The eighth prince finally sighed with relief, when finally Wang So hammered Hae Soo roughly. He immediately reached out for Hae Soo, the girl was still scared, she was safe from death, but did she really feel comfortable?
“Over there are many people who have been killed”, still in fear Hae Soo pointed finger. Those short words caused Wang So and Wang Wook to stumble, both staring at each other, the night air in the middle of the forest suddenly felt colder pores.
While at the Crown Prince's palace stunned with a chaotic mind, a man in the palace wants his death. Who wants the throne? He never even asks, but who dare to refuse the orders of His Royal Highness? “You should not have to ask Wang So, the 4th prince is now in danger”, Prince Wang Mo regrets having changed his clothes with Wang So, if the 4th Prince does not survive, will he ever occupy the throne peacefully?
Choi Ji Mong looks away, his heart feels upset, he loves the princes as if he were a child to be raised. Now there are those who want the crown prince's position, even intend to kill him. Is there a throne always close to death? Or a future king should have double life? To what extent is the ability of a Crown Prince to protect himself from hatred and envy? “Prince Wang So made his choice, he did not hesitate, conscious of his ability. We will catch the culprit “, Ji Mong replied, he can not resist the bad fact, a killer for the throne that is not his right. Who in the palace would do such a cruel act?

In the meantime Prince Wang So and Wang Wook together with the royal guards perform checks in the forest section disclosed by Hae Soo. However, the place was silent, Wang So could not find a single masked corpse as Hae Soo had said. Wang So stares at Hae Soo with a pair of burning eyes of fire, this girl has messed things up. “Where's the corpse?” If maybe Wang So really wanted to swallow the girl, the 4th Prince's mind was a dead end.
“I'm sure there was murder in this place, they were stabbed from behind, they were killed”, Hae Soo never hesitated with her sight even though she was frightened, in this place he witnessed the massacre.
Wang So gripped Hae Soo's hand, his voice as if a snake hissed when asked, “Killed who?”
Prince Wang Wook examined the circumstances around him, found that there were bamboo stalks covered in blood. “They were killed by their leader, the corpses were secured, everything was well planned”, Prince Wang Wook's face became grim. Apparently, the palace is now in a state of "war", who first drew the sword?
“And you killed the last witness!” Prince Wang So was very sorry, why he failed to catch the perpetrators alive for questioning. How can this uncover the plan of this murder without a witness? The 4th Prince suddenly frowns in pain, the wound on his arm is bloody-blood, it is painful. He had been through a terrible night with a gaping scratch.
“I did not want to make Hae Soo hurt, she just got lost. No need to add victims from innocent parties. Tomorrow morning I will check this place again. And you are hurt, take care as soon as possible,” Prince Wang Wook concluded his act of ending this quest, tomorrow when it was still long.
Wang So walked away, without a word, he had to curse this evening's events. The night when he had to lose a witness. While Prince Wang Wook took Hae Soo back to his residence. Being in the middle of the forest in the night was a very dangerous situation. However, Hae Soo does not appear to be walking, the girl sobs and then pours out all fears by crying as hard as she can. “Prince Wang So has repeatedly threatened to kill me, this time even with a sword right at the neck”, between her cries Hae Soo saying, why should she always be close to death, why should she return to meet Prince Wang So in such frightening circumstances?
Prince Wang Wook feels pity, he does not think an innocent girl like Hae Soo should cry in the middle of the forest on a dark night when bamboo in around this place even covered with blood. The Prince approached, Hae Soo still scared, although Prince Wang So has gone, the masked face seemed to imply death. Is the 4th Prince a righteous moment to kill her? Unknowingly the girl gripped Prince Wook's clothes, she tried to find a handle. Hae Soo never knew that no girl dared to touch a prince's clothes. Prince Wook was pity, but Hae Soo's cries were childish, she looked funny and ridiculous. So Prince Wang Wook took an action that was never done except for Madame Hae, hugging the fear girl to regain her courage, “Stop crying, it's time we go home”, Prince Wang Wook entertains Hae Soo in his arms, the prince's wishes suddenly floating away, he felt something different that was never felt with Madame Hae, even though she loved him so much.
                                       ***
In her beautiful and fragrant bath of Queen Yoo was soaking her dripping deodorizer into the water, she needed to calm down. Her beautiful face looked red, with anger. If Wang So did not get involved, change clothes with Crown Prince, Prince Wang Mo has gone away. That means Wang Yo will succeed him as Crown Prince, he will sit on the throne. And forever, he was a ruling supernatural mother. He was entitled to the Goryeo dynasty in many ways, including killing Wang Moon ritual night spirituals. Queen Yoo gritted her beautiful face jaw turned into a frightening romance image. Is it true that she is a queen with no most beautiful woman in Goryeo? After bathing in warm water scented, the waiters respectfully help Queen Yoo dressed. There is a sure thing to come after the ritual cleanse self-finished. True, soon Prince Wang Yo came, the prince wiped out the queen's mother with sad. The plan pushed aside the crown prince failing to scatter, Wang So engaged in a shrewd, now everything is out of plan.
“You should have gotten congratulations, crown prince's title it should come down to you”, Queen Yoo has never been so angry in life, she really does not want the presence of Wang So, a wasted prince who messes up her dream. Should the 4th prince remain in Shinju not necessarily present to Songak. Prince Wang Mo's face is no less furious, he has indeed taken quick action to silence every mouth while removing traces, but what does that mean? The whole plan shattered to pieces, Wang So suddenly arriving, involved too far, he forgot to reckon the skeleton of this wolf dog.
“I have finished everything, there is no living pirate”, the prince's face is very gloomy, he must do something to secure this secret full plan.
“At this time it is impossible for the emperor to let go of the throne, while our step is only here", Queen Yoo knowing that she must be careful or her careless actions can be self-harmful, even though the ambitions of the throne for Wang Yo never change. By courtesy Wang Yo served tea for the mother, “Wang So was too involved, the wolf even willingly became the target death inflicted Wang Mo, and Ji Mong was too shrewd to guess his way of thinking. Are the two involved secret relationships? “ Prince Wang Yo sighs, he has sacrificed innocent people to a desire, a desire that is always hot, because the queen mother blows it with flames. Yo is not even fully aware of why she should act this cruel. Is it because he always love the mother queen?
“Who taught so martial arts? It could not be Kang's family. Supervise Wang So, what is the planning? “, Queen Yoo's voice sounded as if the snake hissed, she was not expecting her presence, she was horrified to see the masked face.
“If Ji Mong is behind the Crown Prince, is His Majesty involved?” Yoo stunned, the beautiful face that changed darkly overcast. Prince Wang Yo just silence, he has not a mathematical mother in thinking, he has not even been able to realize, when a mother loves or utilize a child in the name of love. Prince is still silent, a pair of eyes shining like the end of a dagger when Queen Yoo returns to say, “Or take an action,  Wang Yo will side with us, Ryeo dynasty must be yours", softly palm Queen Yoo stroking Prince Wang Yo's cheek, she has not willing to give up chasing the throne in many ways .
                                                        ***
While in his room Prince Wang So sustained pain, for a stab wound from a pirate sword. The beautiful daughter of Yeon Hwa arrived shortly afterwards. Bandage in hand. She volunteered to help Prince Wang So, cleanse the wound, treat it with a herb, then bandage it. “This is not your job”, Wang So opened the conversation, he never knew more closely about Yeon Hwa as a stepsister, this time secretly he should be grateful for the kindness of this princess.
“How much do you plan to live in Shinju? You'd better settle Songak like every other prince”, Yeon Hwa's voice softly seduced, she had learned from an early age the ordinary life of a princess. Princess Yeon Hwa always thinks she can have everything.
“I'm not like Wang Wook, more fun is hunting animals in the mountains”, Wang So replied briefly, if he could complain, the wound in his arms is very poignant. Yeon Hwa looked at Wang So with a charming smile, he knew Wang So was good at hiding the heart as much as he hid a scary streak on the face behind the mask. Yeon Hwa wipes Wang So's face with a handkerchief. However, the hand movements suddenly floated, the beautiful face was greedy as they wiped in the mask. So felt this fear, secretly complained, so terrifying this mask, so Princess Yeon Hwa secretly trembled.
Prince Wang So stands up he knows what to do, “Just get here”.
“Stay here, I'll call the lady to serve you”, Yeon Hwa still shows kindness, she has not understood sitting the real issue, she even does not understand the fate of life that will be lived after the presence of Wang So in the palace Goryeo. Wang So smile, Yeon Hwa's attention enough to entertain the disappointment of the heart, if he died in the fate of the Crown Prince, will there be someone who cries. He is a prince, who will care who he is hurt? This time Yeon Hwa just said.
“I often ask, in next time, what kind of woman will you be?” Prince Wang So was never able to see the future, many years after Princess Yeon Hwa bandaged the wound, the wording in the conversation would be much different. Yeon Hwa feels no need to respond to Wang So's words, she will be a woman capable of reaching all desires in various ways, even if she has to sacrifice those who love her. She will never sit away from the throne, she is a gaping part of Goryeo. And she can do everything. That face smiling so sweet, then go away leaving Wang So alone.
In a different place, in the residence of Prince Wang Wook, with anxious Chae Ryung treating the wound in Hae Soo. She's in the heart of the waiter wondering, Agassi back into turmoil so far, to bleed. What's the matter with this girl? A very different figure after the accident happened. Hae So no less anxious, whatever happened to Hae Soo's self, affection towards this girl was never a fruit. The beauty face returned to pale, “Why can you be in the woods and your neck hurt?” Madame. Hae's voice is as soft as her face.
Hae Soo's reply, “I ... I ....”  a pair of beautiful eyes staring at Prince Wang Wook. When Wang Wook appears to shake his head, Hae Soo is forced to lie. “I'm lost in the jungle ....” Hae Soo can not imagine, if Madame Hae is sick to know what is really happening, the sadistic murder in the middle of the forest is more evil plan on the contrary? “I am very lucky, after getting lost only get a small wound, this is a miracle”, Hae Soo said goodbye resigned, this time with polite. She wants to get out of a distracted mood, she wants to re-think, why should be in this place?
“Thank you for saving Hae Soo”, Madame Hae is always well mannered, she can not think, why Hae Soo can get lost in the middle of the forest with the cuts in the most deadly parts.
“Hae Soo is not a burden, otherwise the girl even becomes entertained”, Prince Wang Wook replied, he felt a different atmosphere when suddenly Hae Soo re-present in a strange figure, not the same as the day-to- ordinary day. The girl has more movement, more courage than the noble girl, innocent, and gives her own impression.
“Why is Hae Soo not burdening, even making fun?” Madame Hae twitched a pair of black eyebrows like ants together. She really worries that the change in Hae Soo burden the only one she loves.
“A prince must marry, a reality that is not easy, but can not be set aside. Everyone who comes always in trouble, always need help, as if I am a hero who can finish everything. Hae Soo can defend herself, do everything even though it starts hard. I'm waiting for time to see Hae Soo coming back ", Prince Wang Wook says to follow his heart, or he is not even able to understand what actually applies to him right now?
“ Thank you for caring about Hae Soo”, Madame Hae looked at Prince Wook in - deep, she loves her husband wholeheartedly. A gentle and courteous man, though Madame Hae hesitated, did Wang Wook live a life together, out of sheer responsibility, not love?  Madame Hae knows she will do everything for this marriage. It was a miracle when she legally lived together as the wife of Wang Wook, the 8th Prince of the Kingdom of Goryeo.
On the other side, every incident in the palace was going quickly. Hae Soo never wanted to meet Wang So, the 4th Prince. But the handsome face that looks scary behind the mask was suddenly visible when Hae Soo and Chae Ryung were about to enter the residence. Hae Soo immediately turns away, she does not want to get back in trouble, hastily the girl stepped away in a venture with Wang So. However, the meeting remained unavoidable “Hey, stop ....” The voice sounded just as scary as the face owner.
“Why?” Hae Soo's face instantly paled, her tone lowering.
Prince Wang So did not immediately say, his eyes who is staring at Chae Ryung. The waiter knew she had no permission in this place, she had to leave. Chen Ryung's death all over Hae Soo's body shivering in terror. Will Wang So be back threatening to kill her? Is this human life in Goryeo?
“I've claimed to have explained everything, there is a man who massacred masked villains from behind. The incident is very sudden”. Wang So loses patience, Hae Soo looks really scared, her words hard to understand. While he really needs an explanation, who actually did the massacre of all the masked criminals, so that one of his remains was not left. Except bamboo stems covered in blood?
Wang So holds up a gentle pair of Hae Soo's cheeks, “Think hard, remember everything that's happening in the forest?” The handsome face looked really scary to Hae Soo who was frightened, the distance closer, a pair of knees Hae Soo shivered.
The girl was grateful when the shadow Prince Wang Wook flashed in, grabbing Wang So's hand, “Enough!” Wang So released Hae Soo's body from the grip of the 4th Prince, Hae Soo suddenly remembered, “The man was dressed in furry clothes, back then everyone was dressed in black, but there is one man wearing furry clothes. The man sent his men to kill the masked pirate “, Hae Soo still stammers, she wants to get away from the 4th Prince, the masked face brings fear.
Prince Wang Wook and Wang So look at each other, they know Hae Soo is not lying, sweetness, is so innocent and innocent. Both remembered, that night the only person who wore furry clothes on the spiritual ritual of the 12th month of the Lunar Year was the 3rd Prince, Wang Yo.
Wang So asked again, his attitude was unfriendly, “Are you recognize his face?”
“No”, Hae Soo answered briefly, she was really uncomfortable to be near Wang So, as soon as she wanted to run.
“ Who else knows about this?”  Wang So still asks.
“ Why do you always harass me?” Hae Soo asks back, why is she being blamed? Fear suddenly subsided, she would be a coward if she had to be afraid of a masked prince. A pair of beautiful eyes suddenly had the courage to stare at Wang So. One thing a girl can not do.
“Forget everything you see in the forest, never tell anyone”,  Wang So said, this time his tone is flat.
"Right, Hae Soo will stay safe if not there is a witness who saw her in the forest”, Wang Wook affirmed.
Hae Soo feels no need to linger between two princes, “I think it's here”, this time Hae Soo said in a sarcastic tone as she glanced toward Prince Wang So.The 4th Prince understands the meaning of the tone, he replied with no less cynical tone, “Never again appear in front of me”.
In Hae Soo's ears the words sound too arrogant and painful, unconsciously the girl turned, her sweet face flushed red, “What exactly is my fault? Are you going to order people to kill me? You think I'll be silent forever? Everyone has the right to survive, do you think I'll let people kill without fighting? “
Prince Wang Wook was stunned again, he noticed the unusual attitude of a girl when faced with a notoriously masked prince. Hae Soo shows courage, although Prince Wang So responds only cynically and then passes away without a word. Never in life was there a girl against him. Everyone feels scary about his performance, but this girl is very brave, as if she is not facing Prince Goryeo.
Prince Wang Wook tries to calm Hae Soo, but it seems Hae Soo has not finished saying, “The desire to live is not a crime, every people is entitled to live “, Hae Soo's face is still diced, she is really furious, because Prince Wang So has no need to take into account her words. Is it true that the prince wants her death? The shadow of Prince Wang So flashed away in a black shadow. The girl baits her legs while clenching her hands.
“Really too ....” Wang Wook wisely leads Hae Soo up to the room, his attitude calm when lighting candles, the dim light is beautifully refractory. Hae Soo did not realize, under the candlelight of his face changed as if painting a famous artist. She regretted causing Prince Wang Wook to kill a pirate for her safety. "Will the prince be having a nightmare, for killing a criminal?" The girl's voice was soft.
 "I will never have nightmares, for killing a criminal for your salvation," replied Prince Wook briefly. "Is a prince often involved in events like this?" Hae Soo did not continue her words, she said too far in front of a prince.
“ At that time I was eleven years old, we were only three with Yeon Hwa and queen mother, a thief infiltrated into the house. A similar dagger to kill him. A difficult choice, if faced with two things, killing or being killed, then I would rather kill to protect the person I love. I never dreamed badly, for protecting Yeon Hwa and Queen Hwangbo”, the voice was so flat with no pressure and regret.
Hae Soo looked at the handsome face of Prince Wook without blinking, deep down she was grateful to have known this Prince, “Prince still remember it?”
“I'm born with all sorts of burden including the responsibility of protecting the family by killing criminals”, Prince Wang Wook understands Hae Soo's worries, the girl is too fragile to watch the blood-smeared.
“Okay, I promise not to make any more mess, so as not to bother the family”, Hae Soo feel so tired, she knows, she should rest forget everything. Tomorrow she will wake up during King Taejo's reign in 942 AD
                                                                   ***
Tomorrow Crown Prince and Prince Wang So meet the King who is reigning on the throne. The old face remained in dignity even though it could not hide the mood. The enemy is so close that it is not spaced apart, so brave, as it intends to kill the Crown Prince insight.”Where is the crown of criminals who create chaos?” The King asked.
“The princes have chased all criminals, but none live. The offender deliberately eliminates the trail “, Ji Mong replied, his head no less heavy with the burden borne Wang Geon. He must be able to uncover the murderer or he will no longer be worth standing on next to a king.
“The criminals are acrobatic players from the Songak region”, the Crown Prince replied.
“Is the wound of Prince Wang So already treated?” King Taejo diverts the question, in fact, he feels anxious about the state of Prince 4th.
“Small”, Wang So replied politely.
“ Why are you willing to replace the Crown Prince with very bad consequences?” King Taejo again asked, if last night Wang So did not volunteer to exchange clothes with Wang Mo, is the Crown Prince still safe?
“The Crown Prince saved my life 15 years ago, it's time I returned the favour. When The Majesty is pleased, allow me to stay in the Songak region to find out who is behind this?” Prince Wang So bowed with the unconscious, he was unable to return to Shinju, that place is too horrible. He will find many ways to return to Songak, to the place of a true prince. As the king of Taejo is silent, he holds the absolute power in taking every decision, he is even entitled to decide on the life of a person.
Finally the King nodded, “All right, you get my permission. Ji Mong, told all the officials in Shinju that Prince Wang So was assigned to the Emperor's order,” no doubt in King Taejo's voice. So Ji Mong smiled in the direction of Prince Wang So, the desire of the 4th Prince has been reached, leaving Shinju, back in Songak. At the same time, another prince was gathering together, eating sweets and tea. For a moment they forget the tension after the terrible event on the night of the peak of the spiritual ritual celebration. Prince Wang Won was right to know, where did Wang So get the martial arts? Wang Won was amazed by Wang So's martial arts style against the villain.
“The ability was obtained when he was chasing the bush”, Wang Yo replied.
“I think that intelligence is natural, because of the pressure around it, there is someone behind it”, Prince Wang Jung believes Wang So has a powerful teacher.
“It seems impossible that Kang's family from Shinju who adopted Wang So often teach martial arts to a hostage. If there is important news about So, please convey,” Wang Yo secretly acknowledged Wang So's ability in martial arts, the 4th Prince came for the" proper "moment for the Crown Prince's incarnation.
“Do not you know more people, surely it's easier for you to get the news?” Wang Jung replied.
“If the person who comes to my house is just a musician and a woman”, Baek Ah also replied.
While Wang Wook also asked Wang Yo, “Did you not catch the killer last night?”
“I pursued a group of criminals, but misguided, and lost track”, replied Prince Wang Yo, the look of the prince's dagger looked disturbing ‘o not we go through the same forest?’
Prince Wook again asked, Yo, “I'm sorry, I did not find a single one”, Prince Wang Yo looked away, was he honest with those words? Soon The Majesty King came with his bodyguard all prince and immediately answered with deep respect.
“Go to the healer for treatment if the wounded last night”. King Taejo looked at one prince after another, he shared the affection evenly, but what really happened between them, so the Crown Prince was about to be killed? Until finally King Taejo saw the face of the 10th Prince with a bruised wound. “Why with your face Wang Eun?” King Taejo frowned, why the 10th prince suffered bruises?
“I .... I fight”, Prince Eun stammered, he knows the consequences when the King knows, Hae Soo dare to commit acts of violence against a prince. The king will be very angry and then punish. Can Wang Eun see Hae Soo severely punished, because of this ridiculous little matter? “Who did it? Convey!” King Taejo's voice rises, no one can pretend the prince except with the consequences bear the death penalty.
“The Majesty, all the problems are solved, nothing with this bruise”, Wang Eun dropped to his knees in front of The Majesty King, he really feels affection if Hae Soo, the sweet sack gets punishment.            
                                                                                                                                    ***
 In different places, Hae Soo gets very agitated when she hears that King Taejo is anxious when she sees a bruise on the face of Prince 10th, Wang Eun, for fighting with a girl. “Will the king cut off my arms and legs as a punishment for fighting with Prince Wang Eun?” Hae Soo asks Chae Ryung for an opinion.
“I do not know, the 8th Prince will defend?” Chae Ryung feels unable to give an answer; also feels Hae Soo's fears. However, she is only a servant. Hae Soo's fate is still much better.
Suddenly Prince Wang Eun arrives, still with a childish face, Hae Soo immediately looks away, as if in his seat with Chae Ryung no princes are present. “You are waiting for me?” Prince Eun open conversation. “The king is very angry at the sight of the bruises on my face, the king told me to finish you off?” The face is even far from creepy, Prince Eun is a ridiculous face that is ridiculous.
“You first made a mistake. Is there a Prince also telling the king what is the error?” Hae Soo glimpsed Prince Eun's childish facial face.
“I have begged the king to forgive you”, Eun applies as if he is kneeling in front of a king for a pardon. “The words of supplication are worthy in the history of the kingdom”,  Wang Eun's glimpse of Hae Soo's sweet face, it's hard not to be mesmerized when faced with the "brave" girl, then he looks at Chae Ryung, “Oh yes, you better go, now I'm just dealing with Hae Soo”. Those words caused Chae Ryung to immediately salute and then resign. She knew, was not entitled to be among the prince and a girl who must always be served.
Wang Eun acted as if to convey something, but the child's face looked awkward. The young prince is in a frenzy in front of Hae Soo. At a glance Hae Soo looks at the face of Prince 10th, the girl was surprised. After the fight was Prince Wang Eun, comes with a different attitude, even begging forgiveness of the King, because of his mistake. Hae Soo is not stupid, she grasps the body language of a fallen heart. ‘Prince Wang Eun fell in love with her?' The girl looked at Wang Eun deeply, as easily as he fell in love?
“You are the first girl to dare to treat me like that, a prince of Goryeo”, finally the words of the Prince of 10. “The fight was the first since I grew up, everyone including my mother and grandfather were afraid of me, they always let me hit them”, Eun was different when faced with Hae Soo, this girl brings joy, not like the ordinary ladies.
“If that's true, Prince can come here often, I'm willing to fight in every fight nonstop”, Hae Soo challenged, presumably she has found a new friend.
“So you want me often come here?” Eun can not hide his joy.
“Thank you, for begging the king's forgiveness”, Hae Soo answered the singer, she looked at Prince Eun's humorous face, the prince was more friendly than she thought.
“Today is our first day”, Prince Eun never felt happy like this. Finally, he knew a sweet, "brave" girl, unlike the court ladies or noble girls full of stale and deceitful. Eun seems to want to be together forever with this girl.
                                                                     ***
Meanwhile, in another corner of the city, still in the royal neighbourhood, the 13th Prince, Baek Ah is drawing the city scene from a tavern. Baek Ah always pursue his penchant this, he has a beautiful brush strokes, like a famous artist. In the hands of an expert, the scenery of one corner of Songak city becomes special and impressive. Prince Baek Ah was so diligent that he was startled by the sounds of citizens who ran for a fight. Baek Ah was interested, he rushed off to see the fight. The 13th prince stood among the crowd of people and began to draw, this time no longer one corner of the city, but a men crowded fighting. A young fighter roars and then kicks his opponent manages to subvert him. The fighter is Prince Jung, he enjoys a different passion with Bae Ah, disguised. Prince Jung is so proud of his victory. He challenges anyone who wants to fight back, until finally Baek Ah and Jung, both staring at each other. Prince Jung should not leave the palace, disguised as ordinary people, especially fighting in the street, he begs Baek Ah to shut his mouth once. Prince Jung is trying to grab a sketchbook Baek Ah who contains pictures of his fight, then makes an offer. However, Jung's request is getting excessive, Baek Ah refuses.
“If you do not give this painting, I will report to The  Majesty the King, you wear regular clothes, leave the palace having fun”, Prince Jung threatened.
Baek Ah was furious with the threat, he twisted Prince Jung's ear, “Listen, King ordered me out of the palace, painting what happened, including the fighting”,  Jung then pretended the pain, Baek Ah fooled, he thought Prince Jung was in pain. When lulled, Jung nimbly grabs the sketch made by Baek Ah, takes him running to leave the place, so Baek Ah is only able to stand stunned. Baek Ah does not understand how much he feels, whether he is amused or angry. Baek Ah turns his steps, he no longer occupies his art of painting, he needs to turn to the past, visit Madame Hae. Now both of them sit on one corner of the palace, recalling the old memories, before the marriage between Madame Hae and Prince Wook takes place.
“Does Wook still close the door of the heart?” Baek Ah opens the conversation, he looks at Madame Hae's pretty face with a trembling heart, he misses this woman all his life, even after Madame Hae became the royal bride for Prince Wook.
“Everything is okay?” Madame Hae rebuked, she knew that despite living as a married couple, Prince Wook did not love her, she was always nice and wise. However, Wook simply does his duty as a husband, not out of love.
“You are my sister-in-law”, Baek Ah replied, if Madame Hae gets Wook's love completely, Baek Ah will soon forget all the memories. However, Wook still closed the door of the heart tightly, while Madame Hae looked frail, sickly. Baek Ah feels his heart sliced. From a distance suddenly Baek Ah sees Hae Soo in the yard, practising speaking a word. Baek Ah and Madame Hae gaze at each other, both laughing at Hae Soo's funny behaviour.
”Hae Soo is so different from the one I used to know”, the Prince felt the basic difference of Hae Soo's everyday attitude, he used to be like this. “Happy to see Soo now, she was warmer than before she fell. She looks just like you”, Madam Hae smiled softly as she glanced at Baek Ah's face, unlike the whole Prince, Baek Ah handsome and kind. However,  Madame Hae still loves Prince Wook, even before the marriage took place. Wook is the best of all princes according to Madame Hae.
“Why am I like Soo?” The prince wrinkled a pair of jet-black eyebrows, at first glance he glanced at Hae Soo in the distance, the girl was very innocent, not behaving like a noble princess.
“Now Soo seems to be without pressure, she enjoys fun days without burden, she hates defeat and easily gets irritated”, Nyoya Hae can not deny that sitting with Baek Ah always feel good, Baek Ah is good at keeping the feelings of others. “Oh yes, your real sister is Soo, not me”, Madame Hae's beautiful face is too white for a healthy, or actually pale, she's holding back the pain.
“Do you know how I really feel?” Prince Baek Ah looks at Madame Hae close, not for a moment did he forget the face from memory, if The Majesty gave his marriage permission with this woman, and not Wook. Baek Ah must know what the meaning of loss, the distance is so close, but he can never reach. On the other hand, Madame Hae remains unmoved, she seems never to hear the words of Baek Ah, or she has closed every gap, even the most small though. The atmosphere suddenly became silent, the wind died.
                                                                  ***
While in a separate room, Prince So and Crown Prince Moo begin an investigation by examining several of the bodies of murder victims. Both found something suspicious in one of the corpses. The examination continued on the other corpses for further certainty. All the bodies had similarities, their tongues cut off. The two princes stared at each other, as if seeking an answer to the awkwardness. Who is the mastermind behind this plan? What is promised when the plan is proven, so the offender willingly lost the tongue? Crown Prince Moo pensive, a group of trained killers even dare to risk a life for his death. He must have been faced with enormous powers, so he could do anything. While So's attention was fixed on a painting on the wall, Crown Prince Moo glanced at the 4th Prince, then said, “It is Hell Daegyuhwan, they cut off the tongue of the one who did murder or adultery”.  
Choi Ji Mong, the astronomer soon remembers something, “If the corpses do not have tongues, they are likely to be convicted monks and then excluded from the saints. The assassin used the unarmed as a murderer”, Ji Mong stammered, his gaze drifting away, how very close to the distance between the throne and death, the deaths planned by the nearest ones. The 4th Prince looked at Ji Mong then looked away, he began to suspect, Prince Yo behind this whole plan.
Wang So listened carefully when Crown Prince Moo said, “The mastermind behind all this is someone who has power, someone who can meet an unflawless monk without anyone knowing. Ji Mong, soon get proof who in the palace environment most often out of town in recent months”.
The 4th prince did not join the Crown Prince and Ji Mong longer in this room. He knows where to go, footsteps take him to see Wang Yo. Without a doubt Wang So pushed Prince Yo's body against the wall, his voice hissing, “You're behind all the plans of Crown Prince Moo's murder, " So look Yo so close as if to swallow the whole heart of the prince's heart.
“Do you have proof?” Yo defended himself.
“You use the monk as a murderer, the plan fails, then you have slaughtered them all to get rid of the traces”, both still staring at very close, it is not impossible that Queen Yoo wants Prince Yo as king then get rid of the crown prince.
“Nonsense ....” Yo throws away the field, denying this accusation.
“Are you the mastermind behind all this?” So again asked, he really needs an answer before acting. When he saw how the face of Prince Yo looked pale, his mouth locked. The 4th prince knew he had gotten the answer, Wang So threw the body of Prince Yo with a variety of feelings raging as if the ultimate inner war. Does he have to realize, so cruel mother who has given birth? Mothers are always longing to beg for love and affection. The masked face is now so dark. Can he capture the mastermind of the Crown Prince's murder by stripping away the mask of a queen she is longing for?
In the distance Queen Yoo is seen chatting in a warm atmosphere with Prince Jung, her loving sweetest son. The Queen never realized, Wang So quietly stared at her with a variety of feelings difficult to describe.' Why is not he who should be chatting with a mother who missed? He desperately needs the recognition of a mother as a worthy prince '. Prince Wang So felt his heart beat faster as if the waterfall.

At the residence of Prince Wang Wook, Hae Soo finds Madame Hae preparing suitable clothing that will be donated.

I will make up Madame”, Hae Soo's voice sounds sweet in her ear. True, why she did not involve herself directly in this social activity, she will feel her life is more meaningful. Type Madame Hae smiled and nodded, Hae Soo feasted. Deftly her hand began to apply her soft face, she could not control herself not to tell the story, “I dream of selling makeup, I make up a lot of people, customers and friends. I feel important when I can make other people and they look more attractive. I also make up a beautiful friend, but the lover who picked up the friend is the person I love. It turns out I was betrayed, they both even seize my savings and my home”, actually Hae Soo did not tell about the dream, she told me about a story in the future the front that Madame Hae would not be able to trust.
“I'm too stupid to be able to say what I should say. Forget the dream, just like a flower for a sleeper, we live in the real world,” Madame Hae's voice soft, she has grown accustomed to Hae Soo's strange behaviour, because this girl makes her life feel warm.
“That's right, maybe it was a nightmare”, Hae Soo finished her movements, she had finished putting on soft faces of Madame Hae, a sickly, sickly woman. When Hae Soo puts a mirror right in front of Madame Hae, the woman clucked in amazement at her change of face, “Well, I look healthy”, the pale face is now smiling, she was about to do something to please Prince Wook.
Now both Hae Soo and Madame Hae joining Prince Wook gives food and clothing to the people of the village. Soo also provides snacks to the children. Suddenly the girl chases a boy who snatches his friend's snack, “Hi boy should not behave like that”,  Prince Wook glances at Hae Soo's gestures, is there something that makes her more excited today? She feels she is not doing exhausting social activities, she feels in an atmosphere different from her usual days. Is that? I do not know ....
This time Prince Wang Wook who is famous wise is not even able to translate mood. The Prince's view was never even out of Hae Soo's greedy gesture, the girl had begun to adjust. Prince Wook smiles, his wise face looks very handsome. Hae Soo sees the smile, she feels very happy, without feeling guilty waving. While Prince Wook does the same thing, waving his hand, before finally realizing, that a prince is not justified acting like this. The prince looked at his hand, awkward and awkward. Her duties as a prince today turned out to be more fun with the presence of Madame Hae and her cousin. After sharing food and clothing, Prince Wook joins Hae Soo visiting a herb shop. He needs medicine for Madame Hae and an ointment for Hae Soo. The Prince looks astonished, sees Hae Soo able to recognize the types of herbs, “Once, I made soap, this herbal type is a material used for skincare, the skin will be soft and smooth. Can I make it for Madame Hae?” Hae Soo asked, she had to do something in this place.
After the necessary medicines received Prince Wook and Hae Soo returned to the residence, “A woman should have no scars on her body”, Prince Wook gives the medicine, but Soo has trouble smearing the wound, Prince Wook helps her. The two of them now stood too close, mutual and looked awkward. When Prince Wook's hand gently rubs an ointment on the wound in Hae Soo's neck, the girl blushes. 'Did she really act as Madame Hae's sixth cousin? As for Madame Hae looking so tired, she fell asleep when they arrived at the residence, Prince Wook picked her up, laid her carefully on the bed. Hae Soo helps to tidy up the bed, Madame Hae needs to sleep comfortably. Unintentionally her little finger touching each other on the blanket, the two look back awkwardly, Soo first pulls her fingers and hurries away from the room. Prince Wook runs the role of a wise husband, accompanying Madame Hae to bed, she gazes at the door after Soo leaves, some vibrating in the hall of the heart. Hae Soo can not deny, her heart racing, because of the touch. She tries to throw away the shadow of Prince Wook's face, his gentle demeanour and wise. However, the more he tried to throw away, the more the shadow pursued. Soo does not even understand what really happened to her? Her unconscious footsteps take her to the temple, she needs to pray in front of  Hae's stone.

The next day, Prince Wang So rushed to find the murderers' hiding place, he raced the time to reach this temple first. Is an old building on a mountain that is not well maintained and has long been abandoned the inhabitants. However, So remains alert, behind the 'empty' building there are a pair of eyes or pairs of eyes that lurk. Suddenly, a man flashed as if flying over him and throwing a small knife. Wang Soo swiftly deflected the little knife with the sword's sword, and spun to avoid a spear that darted toward him. Two masked men who came to attack were immediately slashed with a sword, lying down. Soon he was surrounded by gunmen. “Who's the leader here? Exit. Are not any of you talking?” "Wang So asked, in response to a man attacking him, Prince So fended off the whole attack and attacked back with a deadly sword. “Who built this disgusting place?” The Prince's voice was filled with anger as if a tiger was roaring. There was no answer. “Who?” The question returned without reply, so Wang So attacked everyone blindly, one by one mercilessly and mercilessly, until it was all covered with blood, so did the masked face. The temple's atmosphere was now covered with dead bodies, suddenly the door opened and a monk came out, bowed to Wang So. “Are you in charge of this place?” Wang So asked.  These people are burdened with sins, they are punished, their tongues are cut off.
“If that's so, then I have to get rid of you,” Wang So's gaze was overcome with anger, he had killed many people and was still able to kill.
“Did your mother know about this The Majesty?” The monk asked.
Wang So smiled, somewhere when one should not talk, it turns out there is one person who talks a lot in this place. So raises his sword, directing it right into the monk's face. He can not immediately hit the target, forgetting the resistance. However, Wang So did not forgive, he swung his sword and sliced ​​it over and over again, until the monk fell down in a blood. “You has been living with the help of the queen, so die for the queen”. The atmosphere around the temple became silent, Wang So never wanted to do anything like this. But did he have a choice? Is there anything better, except to burn this temple and all the corpses inside. He had to do something after a race against time. He again raced with time on the back of a horse who ran fast puffing dust.
When Crown Prince Moo and his troops arrived at the same place, they found the temple was in a state of great burning, no traces left. “What exactly has happened here in this place?” The star expert stunned, everything covered with a mysterious fog.  “Put out the fire”, Crown Prince Moo gave the order. Is there one survivor who can deliver the message, who burned this temple?

That night, in her magnificent parade with the soft silk curtain and Queen Yoo's invisibility suddenly awake from sleep. She was not dreaming, her heartbeat raced, quietly her whole body trembling. “Where is the bodyguard?” The Queen's voice seemed like a scream.... Only a footstep step closer to the bloodied sword blade. Breath of Queen Yoo hunted, she counted the time, staring at the shadow of the 'ghost' who approached as if to pick up death. With the rest of courage, the Queen kept staring until the glowing light of the lantern began to reveal a face that she never wanted to see. The masked face, the face of Prince Wang So. This time the Prince came very boldly uninvited, at midnight with his whole body as if bathed in blood. The sword's eyes glistened, smelling a stench, Queen Yoo's throat choking. The Queen pauses like a stone statue when the two end up staring at each other at too close and unexpected times. Queen Yoo's blood boils as the masked face suddenly smiles. Smiling ....
