That day the Goryeo
sky seemed to weep on a dark cloud during the burning ceremony of Madame Hae's
body. The whole royalty mourns in a grime, white garb, all standing facing at
one point, kennel. On top of a pyre of firewood, inside the beautiful coffin of
Madame Hae's body lay peacefully, her pale face as pale as paper. She has left
the world of life at a young age, leaving behind all the pain, the pain in the
lungs and the deepest disappointment. After her love is poured out as if the
waterfall is sourced from the eternal spring, Prince Wang Wook does not even
look at her. He is too clever to act, acting as a good-looking prince. However,
Madame Hae is not blind, Wang Wook gives his heart to Hae Soo. A sincere
cherished cousin, she hands Hae Soo without anger to the prince, the girl does
not bear a mistake. Although she had to go through the last days with tears
always inundated.
Prince Wang Wook led
the ceremony, he never felt lost like today. The day when Madame Hae finally
did not have to wait for a word that was never spoken. Before this ceremony
Prince Wang Wook had never felt anything, now he realized he had been
abandoned. He could no longer see a wistful face, the face of a princess who failed
to get the prince's love. Wang Wook stifles sobs, he has been unfairly treated
against a wife. Are there any clockwise turns? Sighing in the chest of the
Prince of the 8th, as if a heavy stone block.
Prince Wang Wook
stared at the rumbling cage on a heap of firewood with a dazed mind, his heart
pierced. He will not be able to express in a line of poetry, for this sorrow.
Has Madame Hae felt peace? Wang Wook was still able to stem the tears, when his
lungs fired a fire on a pile of wood. A moment later the flames swelled,
gobbling up the knees slowly until the smoke billowed up. The song of mourning
seemed to melt in every heart:
"...
death comes without certainty as if the sky is ignored by the stars, as if the
fallen flower petals are scattered about ..."
Hae Soo feels a pair
of feet do not move on the ground, she too loves this woman, a woman who
sincerely accepts her presence, even with her careless and selfish attitude and
words. Madame Hae knew that Prince Wang Wook had given up his heart, she never
burned jealous fire. Her smile is always wistful in tears that can not be so
unstoppable. As the fire grew larger, the smell of burning flesh burned, Hae
Soo could no longer hold back a sob. Were her presence able to make Madame Hae
always smile? Its presence has caused a gap between Madame Hae and Prince Wang
Wook to become more open. She was the third person, the one who caused Madame
Hae to be nothing but the tears of a prince who was now abandoned.
Prince Wang So for a
moment stared at Hao Soo, softly sobbing the girl as if to knock on the door of
the heart. What happened to Soo after her cousin died? Will she stay in peace
at the prestigious Prince Wang Wook's residence? The link that linked to the
residence while the middle was devoured by fire, to ashes. The girl not only
loses a cousin, she also needs to question the fate after this death. Suppose
he could wipe Hae Soo's tears?
While Prince Baek Ah
sits limp on the tiny hut, where he used to mingle with Madame Hae. The loss is
beyond Prince Wang Wook, he can not reach Madame Hae in a royal marriage, but
the woman's figure is always dwelling in the recesses of the heart. Madame
Hae's self-portrait is in her grasp, she must understand the meaning of silence
and hollow. The young prince was unable to stem the tears, Madame Hae has been
resting on the realm of occultation, where she no longer needs to wait or feel
the pain. As for the flames licking, ripening the whole of the coffin, the
charming figure of Madame Hae is now left only as stored ashes on a special jar
to be buried in a special place too. The story of Madame Hae's life ends when
the flames are exhausted, as they run out of coals.
After the mourning
ceremony, Hae Soo approaches Prince Baek Ah who is sitting in a tiny hut, the
Prince has not been able to wipe away tears. Both are immersed in a sense of
loss, it is not easy to let a loved one leave life. Hae Soo longs for Madam
Hae, she wants to get back to make up for her face for a special meeting with
Prince Wang Wook. However, the figure of the Madame has now turned to ashes,
she is now alone without her cousin. "What should I do now?" Hae Soo
asks, her voice husky and husky.
"You just need
to remember it ... I will always remembers. And I have to take care of you ....
" Prince Baek Ah looks at Hae Soo's sweet face, the face is still sweet
though covered with sorrow. He regrets never admonished Hae Soo in relationship
with Prince Wang Wook, now the girl alone. Still he has a shelter after Madame
Hae gone? The wind was getting cold stabbed the pores, the leaves seemed to
fall limp, the bedding left the twigs and branches.
"Thank you, happy to be friends with the
prince", Hae Soo's eyes wandered away, she lived a strange life story, she
was too dissolved in it, the death really hurt her.
The night descended
rapidly as if a strand of dark black blanket stretched. Prince Wang Wook
confines himself in the library after the funeral ceremony. Hae Soo can not
possibly let Wang Wook get caught in the dark, silent, and sad. She had to do
something, she was carrying a lantern, stepping into the library. The
atmosphere was dark, at one corner of Prince Wang Wook swaying limply. After Madame
Hae leaves, she realizes how much this woman means, how much she is now alone.
Hae Soo intends to light a candle, but her hand moves to a halt when Prince
Prince Wook's voice says, "No need to light a candle ..." -day before
this death, Wang Wook can not hide his fragile heart.
When staring at
Prince Wang Wook, for a moment Hae Soo was stunned, in the dim light of the lantern,
Wang Wook's face grim, he lost half of life. Unconsciously Hae Soo walked
closer, so close, that at last he could hear the sobs of a prince. The 8th
prince failed to stem the tears, his cheeks wet, his tears split. "I never
said she waited until the day of death. I'm sorry .... " Wang Wook's voice
was hoarse with sobs, he hurt the only woman who loved. If he still had a day
to say.
"I do not think
I've ever loved, just gratitude”. Prince Wang Wook did something that was never
done in front of a girl, crying, regretting his mistake.
"Now Madame Hae
must know what prince should say. Do not ever think Madame Hae never knows ....
" Hae Soo tries to comfort with a belief, even though she's gone, Madame
Hae finally knows, Prince Wang Wook loves without having to say. It is said
that the soul that is released from the body of a dead woman is still able to
hear and see when the nearest relative, the loved ones pray and weep. Madame
Hae will leave quietly after Prince Wook Wook's regrets cry, he no longer need
to wait for words in the realm of eternity. The wait was over. Prince Wang Wook
cried harder, he did have to shed all his regrets, he was late to realize the
mistake after Madame Hae gave everything in life, even handed Hae Soo willingly
to him.
"Why now I
realize it, I accept all .... "Prince Wang Wook is still sobbing, while
outside the night continues to swoop down to the increasingly black color.
***
Also the time keeps racing,
turning the night into daylight, darkening into the light. Hae Soo is still in
a state of grief, allowing herself to be dragged at the farthest distance to
swallow all the pain and loss. When she is only able to sit sluggishly in the
corner of the room, she indulges herself to sit in the same corner. Madame Hae
has left, she will never come back. Suddenly someone heard knocking on the
window of the room, at first Hae Soo thought the voice was just a fantasy,
because she was too mourning and did not know what to do. However, the sound of
a knock back sounded, she was not fantasizing. Hae Soo approaches the window,
staring at the sound source. Suddenly appeared two funny dolls, moving with
hilarious as if life. There was a hand moving beneath it. Soo jumped, almost
falling. Prince Eun with his childish and funny attitude apparently was trying
to comfort Hae Soo who was grieving. The doll recounts the beginning of the
meeting with Prince Eun unexpectedly in the castle baths. The little show
looked funny, for a moment Soo forgot about the mood, a thin smile began to be
painted. However, suddenly Prince Eun fell, a voice rang out in pain. Hae Soo
rushes out, seeing what's happening. Behind the wall of the room, Prince Eun
has not been able to rise, he was stroking his sick waist. Several waiters
rushed in to help the Prince. Hae Soo feels funny, he can not help laughing.
Hae Soo's laughter laughs to the 10th Prince smiling, the sweet girl's
entertaining effort succeeds. Hae Soo should not constantly dissolved in
sadness.
"You are a great prince", Soo gives
a thumbs up for Prince Eun. The son of Wang Geon comes comforting at the right
moment, when the heart is so empty, because of the deep loss.
"What is the
thumb's intentions?" Prince Eun asked, when close to Hae Soo. Her heart
felt good when she saw the smile on her lips.
"The thumb
means great, best. Is the head of five fingers .... " Soo explains, the
presence of Prince Eun cause he did not feel alone. Apparently there is someone
who is willing to attend when Madame Hae is gone.
"Ah, I
disagree. The thumb belongs to the king, I am just the index finger ",
Prince Eun denied.
"All right. The
index finger is also good. Today you are the 10th Prince so great ... I can
laugh back today because of you .... " Hae Soo complimented while giving
the index finger to Prince Wang Eun. With the funny Prince Eun returned to play
the doll, imitating Hae Soo's style when praising him great. Infiltrate into
Hae Soo's heart, she still has a friend who is willing to entertain.
Prince Eun turned
out to be a sincere heart. "All right, presumably the puppet theater is
enough to get here," Hae Soo asks. She can not let a prince constantly
trying to blend away, Prince Eun's game is more than enough for her.
***
Not far from where
Prince Eun and Hae Soo mingle as friends. Prince Wang So walked a few steps
into the library room. In the same room Prince Wang Yo had already been there.
Wang Yo looked at Wang So without a sense of brotherhood, "You have not
apologized, for having misunderstood me and mother".
"Apologize for
misunderstanding? Is it true? You should have welcomed me, for he has saved the
life of the Crown Prince", Wang Soo denied.
"How long will
you continue to side with him?" Prince Wang Yo's voice turns very cold.
"Until I stop
sacrificing life for it ...." Even though Wang Yo was nice, this prince
had the attitude of mother queen. Prince Wang So's words provoked Wang Yo's
anger, the anger almost exploded. However, another prince appeared to be
arriving. First incoming is Prince Eun.
"Is it true
Later Baekje will reportedly live in Songak? The king will give the land to
them as a place of residence .... " Prince Eun opened the conversation.
"It is said so,
but I am sure eventually The Majesty will kill them, so life in Goryeo ",
Prince Wang Wook denied.
"True, I think
the collapse of Nate just waiting time. Just look at the 13th Prince's
grandfather, the Silla Ruler is now begging The Majesty King to survive. How
can he show up at the Palace?" Prince Wang Yo stares at Prince Baek Ah,
smiling cynically. He does not want to be friends with this Silla prince.
Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo are the Three Kingdoms united under Goryeo under
King Taejo Wang Geon's leadership year 918 AD.
Prince Baek Ah looks
at Wang Yo in an almost explosive anger, but his mouth is locked without a
word. He realizes that Silla's identity is not Goryeo. In answer, Prince Wang
So replied. "But we, the prince actually has nothing without The Royal
Majesty, just like them. We also beg for food given by the owner. Yo, you
should not have to talk like that .... " Prince Wang Yo's face looked as
hard as granite, his eyes flashing as he stared at Wang So. This masked prince
always clever to deny his words.
Prince Wang Yo’s
blood quietly boiling, though deep down he realized the truth of the words,
even a plate of food for a prince is due to the kindness of a king.
"Either we crawl or eat like an animal, is still a coward for not being
able to say anything in front of its owner. Stop any unimportant words ...
" Wang So feels he has to defend Baek Ah, he will not stay when Wang Yo
speaks as he wishes. Moments later Wang So stood up from the chair,"
Better go drink than live like that. Baek Ah, let ...." without waiting
for reply Wang So goes away, while Baek Ah does not want to feel more sultry in
this place. The footsteps immediately follow Wang So away.
" Thank you
that defense ", Baek Ah can not resist saying not thanks. Wang So dare to
express his attitude, indirectly defending him in front of Wang Yo's pride.
"I do not defend anyone, I disagree with
the one who always oppresses the weak ...." Wang So knows enough about the
meaning of oppression, as long as he is able to act he will act.
"You have the
courage to express your attitude. I do not have enough courage for that ",
Baek Ah looked at Wang So with gratitude. This masked prince has a better heart
than a face without a scratch.
***
The next day, after
having enough energy left the room, alone Hae Soo visited Madame Hae's grave.
Her tiny hand pulled out the grass that grew above the cemetery. Always imagine
Madame Hae's gloomy face, may the face soar peacefully, Prince Wang Wook has
admitted love and mistake in tears. In Hae Soo's heart said, "Time is
racing too fast. It's been a while since I've been here. At first, I doubt, can
I survive? Apparently, not too bad. But how long should I live here as Soo?
Unni, I've been wanting to say for a long time. Forgive me for everything, and
thank you for everything .... " Silence is still a resident far away in
the heart of the heart, Hae Soo really missed the presence of Madame Hae. If
she had known, Madame Hae's request to Queen Hwangbo and Prince Wang Wook to
accept her as wife, that loss would be deeper.
Not long after the
solitude at the funeral looks Prince Baek Ah and Prince Wang Jung come. The two
castors stared at Hae Soo with emotion, both of them knowing how much Hae Soo's
grief was left by Madame Hae. Like three friendly friends they finally stepped
home together, though without joking. Arrive Sampai back at the residence, the
three meet Princess Yeon Hwa. The beautiful face smiled, greeted "Where
are you three?"
"We are on a
pilgrimage to the grave of sister-in-law ..." Prince Wang Jung replied.
"Madame Hae
will surely feel at peace with the pilgrimage. Oh yes, I have good news for
Soo, sorry to just deliver now, if it could be faster. You will marry", the
news was pronounced Princess Yeon Hwa easily as if she only greeted a friend
who never meet in four weeks. Princess Yeon Hwa does not care about Hae Soo's
response with the news, the girl is already married, she is no longer a child.
While Hae Soo stood
transfixed, a thunderbolt seemed to snatch at noon. She never called anyone
officially to convey the subject that would change his whole life. Who should
he marry? Why does nobody ask for his approval? Should a girl not know a
prospective husband before the wedding day? What life should be lived as a girl
of noble descent? Hae Soo feels the whole stream of her blood froze. As Prince
Baek Ah and Prince Wang Jung stare at each other, their eyes widen as if they
are about to leave each petal.
"Married
...?" Both say the same words with doubt and doubt. Or the two princes
never suspected, Hae Soo should get married in the span of time not too far
away when the period of mourning has not fully gone then. When the two princes
stared at Hae Soo, the trio seemed to be suddenly trapped in the niches of
time. While Princess Yeon Hwa immediately steps away, she has never bothered
with Hae Soo's response and the two princes, because of the news. Princess Yeon
Hwa walks to Prince Wang Wook's residence. In his residence Prince Wang Wook is
being visited by the Soo family, the handsome face of the prince seemed to be
spasm when he heard one of the men wearing green clothes saying, "It's
time for Soo to marry, age is enough. Grateful we have found a suitable
candidate ", the words were spoken lightly.
Prince Wang Wook
looked at the faces of the two guests with a glowing glow, this family still in
mourning. He was still wondering, determining the time to make sure Hae Soo was
a life choice. Suddenly Hae's extended family ensured another life choice for
the charming girl. With whom did Hae Soo get married?
"This opportunity will not come twice to
Soo", a man wearing a red dress adds.
Prince Wang Wook
laughed in a discordant voice, could he have let Hae Soo marry someone else? He
has recently lost a wife, now he has to lose a beloved one too, "Soo is
still very sorry after losing Madame Hae, give a little time to ..."
Prince Wang Wook tries to hide a heart rush that keeps racing as if the horses
are whipped. Why should the girl have to marry suddenly in an atmosphere of
grief?
"Marriage would
be better, if Soo stayed too long in this place after Madame Hae was gone, then
the chances of getting married would be smaller", Princess Yeon Hwa
supports the marriage.
"The opinion of
Princess Yeon Hwa ", an uncle Hae Soo justify Yeon Hwa's words. Unaware of
Prince Wang Wook's nodding, in a kinship he did not have the right to decide
the day of marriage Hae Soo and with whom the girl was about to get married?
However, Hae Soo's figure has drifted deep into the heart. How could he give up
this marriage? Prince Wang Wook suddenly feeling the air became too hot, his
skin seemed blistered.
Meanwhile, Prince Baek
Ah immediately met Prince Wang So with a hasty step. "Are you going to
silence without opinion with this marriage? The plan is too sudden, Soo is
still in a grieving mood ", Baek Ah is very hopeful, Wang So can make a
voice to postpone the unknown marriage of who the bridegroom is, even by Hae
Soo herself.
"Hae Soo is old
enough to get married. Is not that marriage a matter of Hae's family? We do not
have the right to interfere ", Wang So replied, in fact he was shocked,
but his attitude remained calm. Suddenly Prince Wang Eun, Wang Jung, and Wang
Won came to join. The 10th prince opened the conversation, he could not hide
uneasily. Was not she impressed with this girl's presence and her unusual
behavior?
"Is it true
that Soo's marriage?" Prince Wang Eun needs reassurance.
"According to Eun, Soo will marry a man
over 60 years old and have a son who is very much", Prince Jung's face is
very anxious. He had saved Hae Soo in the hands of a pirate cluster, the girl
who could not fight it even risked his life for his safety. Now, the girl had
to marry an elderly person, with many sons. What kind of misery could he not
refuse?
"Really?" Prince Baek Ah frowned.
After Madame Hae was gone, she became a friend to Soo. Is he going to the heart
to see a friend suffered unfortunate fate like this? "If so, is not that
marriage the same as trade?" Prince Baek Ah's words caused Prince Wang So
to be stunned, reflecting back on Hae Soo's sweet face. The girl who was helped
when he was about to fall to the bottom of the river was then thrown back from
the horse's back, the girl who suddenly turned up the pool of the castle bath
and could stare at the scratch on her face, the girl who dared to fight with
Prince Wang Eun, the girl who was never afraid to deliver the menu afternoon,
stumbling up the hill. The girl who gives a sense of peace, because of his free
attitude. So bad fate this girl. Prince Wang So sighs to do something.
Before Prince Wang
So is able to say, Prince Wang Wook's shadow flashed in, he can catch the
anxious faces of the princes. While his face was no less anxious when Prince
Eun said, "Wook, how can you force this marriage on Soo? An elderly man
with many sons?" Prince Eun thought the marriage was the plan of Prince
Wang Wook as his sister-in-law. He looked at the Prince of the 8th with fury.
"The man
promised to correct the inappropriate treatment of Hae's family. An
unreasonable thing ", Prince Wang Won contends. He does not know Hae Soo
well, but a sudden marriage to an unsuitable candidate is really beyond the
limit. For a moment Prince Wook is silent,
the princes find that this marriage is not a happy day for Hae Soo, but it is a
disaster.
"I need all
your help", Prince Wang Wook looked at all princes hopefully, he had to do
something to save Hae Soo.
***
Inside the room, Hae
Soo limps limply, Chae Ryung hurriedly packs her clothes up into a bundle. Her
tears are pouring down, she will be left behind by Hae Soo, the noble
descendant girl who is always served as a friend. "Better Agassi to
flee", Chae Ryung is no less anxious with the news of marriage, a sudden
plan that is never talked about openly. Is there a righteous girl who can not
choose her life partner?
"I'd better go
as soon as possible", Soo's voice whispered, almost sobbing. So did her
fate after the death of Madame Hae? |She is in a state of grief, why is she not
first talked to who she is going to marry and why should?
"Go away, I will shut my mouth, if
repeatedly knocked to death, I will never tell where Agassi go?" Chae
Ryung know the worst when she made a mistake in the palace, she would be rolled
into the mat, beaten repeatedly until the last breath.
"What?"
Hae Soo stunned, should she run away at the expense of a lady's life? She is
too afraid of marriage, but she is even more afraid that Chae Ryung should
accept the death penalty for escape. The girl is stunned to think, Soo thinks
she has turned into a stone statue. Suddenly a face emerges from behind a
window, the face of Prince Wang Eun's childhood. This time the face did not
show any wit, Prince Eun was too worried about Hae Soo's fate.
"Follow me, now
…." The 10th Prince waves her arms, her attitude is earnest. Had a choice,
she grabbed a packet of clothes, her heart screamed as she left Chae Ryung, she
did not even have time to say a word. Does she have any choice but to follow
Prince Wang Eun. Both walked in a hurry to leave the residence Prince Wang
Wook, but his second move stalled. In the yard, two guards appeared. Prince
Baek Ah acts quickly, pulling Prince Wang Eun and Hae Soo, hiding behind a sturdy
wall standing behind him. Prince Wang Eun then leads Hae Soo heading to where
Prince Wang Wook is waiting. The 8th Prince reaches out, his chest as if hit
the roar of the storm when Hae Soo's gentle hand was now in his hand. So the
end of the story with this sweet girl? While Prince Wang Jung extends his robe
with head covering to Prince Wang Wook. The prince's tongue is bitter, he has
promised to keep Hae Soo in safety because of the girl's help the other day. Can
she be abandoned?
Prince Wang Wook covers
Hae Soo's body with a purple robe. For the latter Hae Soo looks at Prince Wang
Wook , "Is everything going to be okay?" Now the girl knows, all
worried about her fate. She is not a fear alone, the princes are with her.
"I can not let you go this way ..." Prince Wang Wook's words softly,
he has not been able to fully rise after being abandoned. Now, he must be back
abandoned. In front of the residence of Prince Wang Wook stretcher for the
bride has been prepared.
However, the
prince's residence seemed desolate. When staring at the gate accidentally
Princess Yeon Hwa sees Prince Wang Wook riding the horse, in front of him is a
person with a whole body sheathed in purple robe. Princess Yeon Hwa thinks
quickly, it seems Hae Soo has fled, refusing to marry it. "Pursue them ...
"Spright Princess Yeon Hwa orders the guards, chasing Prince Wang Wook.
Prince Wang Wook spurs the horse as fast as possible, Prince Wang Jung doing
the same behind him. Dust rises high in the wind, but in the silence the
forests of both princes are forced to stop the hoofs of horses. Princess Yeon
Hwa with the guards managed to follow the two princes. "Stop ...!"
The Princess's voice loudly. A guard bravely stood right in front of Prince
Wang Wook's horse.
"How dare you get in the way of the
prince's!" Prince Wang Jung gives a reprimand, but the guard stays
unmoved.
"What is the matter?" Prince Wang
Wook pretended to ask Princess Yeon Hwa, as if she never understood why they
should meet.
"Dear Prince Wook, Hae Soo my nephew
seems to be a burden", Hae Soo's uncle who wore a green dress bow. The
uncle pulled the purple robe strongly, but the cloak remained unopened. Quietly
Prince Wang Wook opens his purple robe, the witty face of Prince Wang Eun looks
already. "Is he your nephew? He is my brother ", Prince Wang Jung
taunts Soo's uncle looking at the old face hatefully, why can an uncle be able
to marry off a girl without sin unreasonably?
Princess Yeon Hwa is
shocked, she is very angry. "Pursue the opposite direction, now!"
The princess's face
was flushed, she realized she had been mocked. While on the road in the
opposite direction, Prince Wang So gasped against the horse. In her arms was
Hae Soo, behind Prince Wang So, Prince Baek Ah. He raced with time, as strong
as a whipping horse. At a glance Hae Soo looks at the masked face of the 4th
Prince, deep inside the girl's heart thanks. Prince Wang So turns out to have a
sincere heart, unlike the depiction of most people, as a wolf dog with a creepy
face. Hae Soo does not think this prince is giving herself any help.
"I just do not
want to see your life controlled by others, worthless ... "Prince Wang So
retaliated, as if understanding Hae Soo's gaze, the 4th Prince replied
inwardly. Prince Wang So tightened his arms on Hae Soo's slender waist. He is
getting stronger. But, right at the crossroads, from opposite direction
suddenly appears Ji Mong. The star expert was accompanied by the royal army.
Wang Soo was shocked, but he remained calm, he lowered his head deeply, hoping
Ji Mong did not see him. At the same time, from a different path, Prince Wook,
Wang Eun, Wang Jung, and Princess Yeon Hwa .
"Why are you
coming with the royal army?" Prince Baek Ah asked, there is something
strange at this meeting. Why is Ji Mong supposed to be involved?
"Soo Agasshi
who lives in the 8th Prince's Residence, I'm sorry Agasshi should come with me
..." Ji Mong replied.
"What are your
interests in this? Is that the person who is going to marry asking for your
help?" Just like Prince Baek Ah, Prince Wang So needs to question Ji
Mong's presence in this place, what does Hae Soo's marriage relate to?
"Take us off
this once, do not you feel sorry for Hae Soo should get married with the
unknown?" Prince Baek Ah asks, he really does not have the heart to see
Hae Soo's helpless face.
"Soo Agasshi is
ordered to enter the palace", Ji
Mong's voice calm. Prince Wang So and Wang Wook looked at each other, his eyes
wide-eyed. Wang Wook realized the meaning of 'entering the palace'.
"Is ...?",
The eighth prince could not go on with his words. He felt a lump of hot coals
suddenly glowing right in the crown of the head.
"Soo Agasshi is
already agreed to marry King Taejo Wang Geon. I was ordered to accompany Soo
Agasshi back to the palace ", Ji Mong did not hesitate with his words, he
ran the orders of a king. Ji Mong never realized that the words sounded as if a
storm rumbled in Prince Wang Wook's eardrum. The 8th prince was making time to
get permission from the king for his marriage to Hae Soo, after the mourning
period was over. If Hae Soo has to marry Taejo's father, then he will lose
again.
"No way, this marriage is too sudden
..." Prince Wang Wook stammered.
"The daughter
of Hong Hae's family Ha Jin Hae and In Gyu Go Myung, Soo Agasshi ... to marry
the King ... "Ji Mong repeats his words.
"Did you know
about this wedding plan?" Prince Wang So asked Hae Soo. The 4th Prince
feels cramped when he sees Soo shaking her head, thousands of fireflies roam
about, he tried to deny his hearing, but what power? After being assisted by
five prince who have a sense of compassion to escape, Ji Mong and the royal
army can still stop him.
"Never get off
this horse", declares Prince Wang So, is not Hae Soo more worthy of
marriage to one of the princes? Her age is still young to marry an old king.
What will happen after the wedding night passes? Does the king really love her?
This marriage is not even different from the death penalty. Suddenly the two
uncle Hae Soo came, both of them greet Ji Ji kindly. Although Ji Mong does not
seem so comfortable with that arrival. Prince Wang Wook descends from the
horse, approaching Hae Soo's two uncles.
"What happened? Why is Hae Soo suddenly
supposed to marry the King?" The 8th Prince's looked furious at the sight of the two
parents, this marriage was a madness. Why should an innocent girl be
sacrificed? Wang Wook understood enough to be the wife of the thirty-first
king. Hae Soo not only does not get the love, she will be hated by the queen
and the other concubines of the king. This girl will live in hell.
"Aigoo,
apparently the prince already knows. The king has acknowledged Hae's family
business. The king wants us to be his relatives ... "Hae Soo's uncle who
is wearing a green outfit replied.
" Why did I
never get notice that Hae Soo is going to marry the king? "Prince Wang
Wook secretly feels his whole body is shaking, he will never has the power to
confront a king, even though he is the father. Hae's extended family has taken
advantage of Soo for their sake, unfortunate this girl.
"Sorry Aigoo, after
Madame Hae died, we no longer have relatives with Prince Wang Wook. Hae Soo is
our responsibility. Or Aigoo worried, after this marriage Soo will contain the
King's son. Aigoo will probably refuse the decision, because it is related to
the matter of the royal throne .... "Hae Soo's uncle chuckled, his voice
sounded like an owl, for Princess Yeon Hwa.
" Are you
afraid we'll stop this marriage? We know the consequences of the marriage of
the king ", the beautiful face of Princess Yeon Hwa changed as bright as
the embers. She was very uncomfortable having to stare at the old and greedy
face. While Uncle Hae Soo just cleared his throat, he planned this marriage to
extend his influence inside the palace walls. Hae Soo, the innocent sweet girl
is a definite figure to extend that influence.
"Time to go home, nothing more to talk
about", Princess Yeon Hwa feels no need to waste any more time, she knows
the worst consequences are accepted if defying the king's wish. The exact step
of the royal army approaching Hae Soo.
"Stop, back
off!" Prince Wang So's voice firmly, he hugged Hae Soo in his arms as if
he was not about to take her off. He must understand the meaning of hesitation
and anxiety about the fate of a secretly beloved.
"Agasshi must
understand the consequences of striking the king's orders", Ji Mong tried
to persuade Hae So, he knew the death penalty was waiting for any royal
dissident.
"Remove him, beoni”,
no one can violate the King's orders or we will all be put to death ",
Princess Yeon Hwa looks at Prince Wang So, she will not risk the safety of herself
and all of her kind by Hae Soo. The girl's lost fate is married to King Wang
Geon as his 30th wife.
Hae Soo looks at the
two a strange face who claimed to be an uncle, she never knew a very ugly and
greedy look that changed her whole life by making use of a king's marriage. The
girl knew that King Taejo never wanted this marriage, they never knew each
other. If only he could cast a fist on two uncle who acted greedily to take
advantage of his existence as a young girl. Hae Soo looks at the beautiful face
of Princess Yeon Hwa, a face that never gives a friendly smile, then she gazes
at Prince Goryeo's face one by one. If she refused to get off the horse, all of
Wang Geon's son's son was in danger. Hae Soo understands, she has received
enough mercy and good conscience of five princes. She can not resist fate, or she
still has some fathoms to change the position of a king.
Slowly Hae Soo
breaks away from Prince Wang So. The 4th Prince tightens her arms, he will not
be able to let Hae Soo marry an old king. "Stay with me ..." Prince
Wang So whispered. Hae Soo has decided.
When you step into
the palace walls, there will be no chance to get out again ... " Prince
Wang So warned.
"I have to keep
going, there's no way I can bet the safety of the cast ... " Hae Soo has
made a decision, it is impossible for the five princes to go to the hanging
because of the dissension of the bride-to-be girl. Who can oppose the King's
decision? The 4th Prince took a deep breath. He felt like throwing a
beautiful jug into the bottom of a cliff. Hae Soo will fall to pieces into an
unformed shard. But did she have any choice but to release the sweet girl with
a torn heart. Prince Wang So's movements were sluggish as he descended from the
horse's back, then his outstretched arms helped Hae Soo's body flip back to the
ground.
"You sure will
never regret this decision?" Prince Wang So once again asked, he could not
release this girl.
"Do not worry,
I will try to talk to The Majesty ..." Hae Soo tries to smile, she knows
how hesitant Prince Wang So. With all the respect Ji Mong invites Hae Soo into
the joli. This marriage will be a tragedy, but what the power of a star expert,
she is not able to stop. Hae Soo's hand opens her robe, returning to Prince
Wang Wook, momentarily both gaze. Hae Soo sees there is a devastating storm
shining on both eyes, the girl tries to smile. Although Prince Wang Wook knew,
Hae Soo's smile was bitter. When Hae Soo returns to Prince Wang So, she feels
that the eyes have turned into pieces of glass, staring at her in sorrow. The
girl is not entirely convinced of her decision to move towards the joli, as if
she were walking toward a coffin. She will be trapped into a small room to the
majestic walls of the palace, bound by all the stressful rules. She will become
a wife without knowing, especially love a king who became the bridegroom. She
will be hated, maligned, and possibly killed by the consort or other 27
concubines of the king.
True, the room in
the joli was too narrow as if breathless, she still had time to gaze with
Prince Wook's prickly eyes before the joli door closed, then everything went
dark. Hae Soo closes her eyes, she is headed for a strange and unpredictable
destiny of life where finally. Joli finally moves, bears the royal warrior, the
atmosphere of the original tense changed into silence.
"Hae Soo
stepped into the wrong place", the voice of Prince Wang So.
"The man who is over sixty years old and
has many sons is The Royal Highness", Prince Wang Jung's face is red, how
can two uncles be able to offer the marriage of a young girl to a king who has
had many concubines and sons?
"Do I have to call her mother?"
Prince Prince Eun's childish face becomes pained. Hae Soo's presence causes the
atmosphere to become warm, now he has to undergo a marriage that is never
desired. He must lose the girl. The atmosphere around the forest for a while
becomes very silent, only the sound of dried leaves fall. No one said. The wind
crashed, dead.
***
In the palace the
atmosphere becomes tense, the air suddenly hot, even as if blistered. Queen Yoo
stares at King Taejo with anger overflowing as if a lava magister smearing her
beautiful face, "The Majesty will marry again, even the first night has
been decided before the wedding takes place. Is everything all right?
"Queen Yoo always fantasize, she as the only queen in the palace, gave
birth to the crown prince. No other woman in Goryeo is worthy to accompany the
king except the queen
single. But what
happened? He repeatedly married after so many women became concubines, after
which many princes were born. She was indeed a queen, but could not establish a
crown prince. She did not even get the King's love.
Queen Yoo had to
repeatedly swallow her disappointment and it all hurt her. For a moment The
Majesty King paused, he went through my not easy man. He has no other way of
uniting the whole kingdom except by marrying the decisive woman in this part of
the kingdom. Including marrying Hae Soo, an unknown and unloved girl. He does
not even need to know, the girl is concerned or not. The Majesty King nods his
head, then the cassettes resign.
"At this time
Khitan will come crashing Goryeo, we must combine Hong Ha Jin Hae's family
power to protect the northern border," voice Average Taejo Wang Geon
bitter, in fact he did not want this marriage. However, he must act for
Goryeo.Khitan is also called the Khitai or Kidan are nomadic people from Mongolia,
Manchuria, and Russia, precisely in the northern region of the Goryeo border.
The King will not risk salvation for the sake of the kingdom, because of this
attack. He must marry Hae Soo in order to get the allies.
Queen Yoo looks at The
Majesty King, she is really disappointed, her breathing sounds heavy as the
voice of a bull sniffs "When will Hae's family stop using the relationship
with the king to fulfill his greed? The whole kingdom no longer has any hope
for Wang Mo, he is digging his own grave ... "Queen Yoo's blood boils,
she's a queen, but can never change the stance of a king. The clothes of
greatness, jewelry, and all the glory can not change his destiny.
"Did you really
dig the grave for Prince Wang Mo? Do you think I am digging my grave and my
son's grave?" The Majesty the King began to burn with anger, he knew the
Queen's desire to put Prince Wang Yo as the Crown Prince. However, he could not
betray Wang Mo. For a while the Great
King was silent, he lived in the 10th century, a time when the great kingdom
can easily crush the little kingdom without one party can do justice to stop.
He is a king, but must endure a great battlefield. If he lived in an age that
could protect even the smallest kingdom, he would have enough of a queen. The
firstborn son will soon be declared a crown prince. The dissension of fellow
queens, concubines, and princes will not occur in the seizure of the throne.
"Does The Majesty still doubt the loyalty
of a queen?", Queen Yoo knows, though she will never try change the
decision of a king, after repeatedly, he should again feel disappointed.
"You are a
powerful Queen and have everything. I only doubt your greed ", His Royal
Majesty stares at Queen Yoo giddily, he knows really the most powerful woman in
his life. The consort declined the presence of Prince Wang Mo, in the name of
love he praised Prince Wang Yo as leader of Goryeo. Indeed, Queen Yo praised
the greed itself.
"It will always
be The Majesty's perspective, I am a queen, but have no role in life in this
kingdom ..." without waiting for Queen Yoo's answer to step out, leaving
the royal hall. This marriage will get her further removed from the love of a
king. Should she lament it?
While the joli that
swallows Hae Soo's body has arrived at the palace gate. The girl can not keep
her eyes closed, she can not fall asleep and forever dream. She must open her
eyes, face reality. Although she had to face the bitter reality, married to a
king who has had queens, concubines, and sons. An consciously she must enter
into the mouth of a lion. Secretly the girl thought to find a way out, if there
is one gap, though very narrow. Not far from where Hae Soo is trapped inside a
palanquin, at Damiwon Palace, Sanggung Oh is supervising the ladies' job of
cleaning and preparing the palace baths. The woman is a beautiful face
sustained high body tall with a pair of cold eyes. There is a painful story
tucked away in the lady's eyes.
The beautiful face
paused when a lady came, whispered into her ear, "Ji Mong knows about the
King's bride."
"When? And who
is the bride? "Sanggung Oh asks, ahe will return to witness one sad story
in the royal environment. A lady was again whispered to Sanggung Oh.
\later Ji Mong came
to accompany Hae Soo to Damiwon Palace, where Sanggung Oh daily work. "In
this palace members the kingdom calmed down. Soo Agasshi should also be
prepared for the wedding day tomorrow ", in fact Ji Mong does not want to
do this task, but he is a subordinate, he can not fight a king.
"I'm sorry,
there was never a special notice for this marriage. I do not mean to fight The
Majesty King, there might be a mistake?" Hae Soo tries to find a gap to
get out of this madness.
"Agasshi
refuses to marry the King?" Ji Mong looks at the beautiful face in
surprise, most girls in Goryeo dream of marrying the king or prince to get the
glory. Why does this girl reject it?
"Not only The Royal Highness, but I will
also refuse to marry his grandfather. I do not want to marry someone I do not
know ... " Hae Soo needs to explain. She had the right to choose. Suddenly
the shadow of the slender Sanggung Oh flashed, the pretty face looked cold.
Ji Mong smiled,
greeted Sanggung Oh intimately. "Too long I miss this meeting so I can
look at your little face, my eyes even almost jump off the petals ..."
Sanggung Oh feel no need to respond, she always understands the attitude and
words of Ji Mong, stellar connoisseur of The Royal Highness. The lady's head
stared at a young girl escorted by Ji Mong to where she worked. This figure of
the bride king? Is not she more worthy of being the bride of one of the
princes? Sanggung Oh locks her mouth, trying hard to master the various
feelings of turmoil as if the civil war is endless.
"I introduced Soo Agasshi, the
prospective bride of The Royal Highness. I said goodbye, I was with the
responsible party ", Ji Mong bowed reverently. Then whispered into Hae
Soo's ear. "Live your destiny ..." the words are brief, but it raises
a question to Hae Soo. Does the star expert have been able to see the fate?
"You do not have to be so humble in front
of me", Sanggung Oh's cold voice, she seems to have known Ji Mong very
well.
"Did not I have
to give you the respect?" Ji Mong denied, Sanggung Oh pretends not to
listen. All the things that Ji Mong said and no matter how good the star expert
would not change her destiny. She has lived the fate to wait for the ultimate
story.
Sanggung Oh has to
carry out her duty, she governs the ladies with Hae Soo, there is a very
important thing to be done. As Hae Soo stares at Ji Mong, when the star expert
nods her head, the girl knows Though she
was forced to follow the ladies. While Ji Mong stood transfixed, something was
strange today, unconsciously murmuring, "The Majesty is hard to understand
... It is hard to understand ... What did The Majesty see from a young girl
like Soo Agasshi ... ", Ji Mong greets to himself after just staying.
Sanggung Oh acts
quickly, lets Hae Soo into a room, "Before bathing the whole body should
be examined, the woman who has the scar can not be the wife of the king ",
the voice was flat without pressure.
Hae Soo never
thought, she will be examined like this by giving up all her clothes
uninstalled. He crossed her arms in front of her chest. "I have no scars,
no need for anyone to see my body, I never even go to a public bath ..."
The rejection caused Sanggung Oh to glance at the ladies, the ladies know what
to do. Hae Soo's refusal did not count, so did the girl's shock, they disarmed
Hae Soo's clothes. The girl was helpless, alone facing too many maids.
"Sorry I'm
doing the job, the bride and groom should be checked before the first night
with a king", Sanggung Oh needs to convey the words of explanation. Hae
Soo is still fighting, she never wanted the first night and this marriage. She
felt odd and ill-treated. Sanggung Oh and all the ladies feel no need to
respond to the bride's candidate. They have to make sure Hae Soo's body is
flawless or scratchy, she has a requirement ahead of the first night with a
king.
In a different place
Queen Yoo and Queen Hwangbo are sitting, chatting, "You really do not want
to stop this marriage?" Queen Yoo asked, though never wanted any other
queen in this palace, but Queen Hwangbo is the place to talk. The Majesty
decided to marry for the sake of the kingdom. Can I forbid? "
"Every day you
carry Buddha's tasbih, you are like a saint. The king already has 29
concubines, he should be more concerned with family interests, not the kingdom.
Will the king split Goryeo into twenty-five parts after his passing?" Queen
Yoo's blood still boiling, she hopes Queen Hwangbo will do the same, stop this
marriage, at least argue "no!"
The answer made
Queen Yoo again hit by disappointment, "Why should I say that ?!"
Queen Hwangbo frowned her soft forehead. She deeply memorized Queen Yoo's
temperament, but the newly spoken words were too spicy. Suddenly a lady came by
bowing her body, "Prince 14th come". Not long afterward, Prince Wang
Jung's face, the face was a deep turmoil. The face looked surprised when looked at the soft eyes of Queen Hwangbo.
Prince Wang Jung knew, he immediately bowed, greeting then straight on one
goal.
"Sorry sorry
mother queen, Hae Soo will marry This Royal Majesty. Is there a mother can ask
to stop? "
" Hae Soo, that
girl? "Queen Yoo almost jumped from where she was sitting. She knows the
king will marry, but why should Hae Soo his bride? Slowly the Queen's gaze
switched to Queen Hwangbo's face, "You are very calm, because you already
know the bride, she still has relation with you", Queen Yoo's voice turns
cold like ice chill freeze.
"Nobody can stop the king in this case,
we are not authorized to interfere", Queen Yoo has spoken to the king, but
what is the result. Wang Geon never doubted his omnipotence, the answer that
pierced his heart deeply.
"Hae Soo does
not want this marriage. The family insisted," Prince Wang Jung still hopes
her mother will be able to block this marriage, is not she a very powerful
lady.
Suddenly the lady
came back," The 8th Prince came ".
Prince Wang Wook
hurried in before being invited. The face was no less upset with Prince Wang
Jung's face. Prince Wang Wook did not expect Queen Yoo talking with mother, at
a glance the 4th Prince bowed his greeting "Are you hurrying to come, what
would you say?" Queen Hwangbo feels weird with Wang Wook's presence this
time, his smart son always behaves.
"Queen's mother ..." Prince Wang
Wook's breath was half-hunting, he hesitated to say the words. "Hyungnim
also came, because of Hao Soo's marriage, we all disagree. Is not the queen's
mother looking for a way out?" Prince Wang Wook's arrival reinforces
Prince Jung's demeanor.
" Why is this
marriage bothering you, Wook? "Queen Yoo looks at Prince Wang Wook with an
odd look.
" This marriage
is too sudden, Soo is like a sister for me ", Prince Wang Wook felt the
whole contents of his chest rumble like a waterfall, he had to race against the
time before the wedding took place.
"Soo is his
late wife's cousin. Of course, Wook is against him ... "Queen Hwangbo
replied, surely her wise eyes can sense the frantic feeling of Wang Wook's
overall appearance. Queen Hwangbo recalls the last words of Myung Hae before
his death: " I no longer have a long
time, accept Hae Soo as the wife of Prince Wook." These words caused a
prince to feel distressed, because the marriage of the king's father? Madame
Hae handed Hae Soo as Wang Wook's wife, because this prince loves her. Queen
Hwangbo sighs deeply, can she fulfill the request of a prince?
The smile on Queen
Yoo's red lips looks cynical, "Why should a prince be against the marriage
of The Royal King?" The perfect question for Prince Wang Wook, but how
would he have to answer correctly? Would not Queen Yoo laugh at him?
Prince Wang Wook's
voice blocked in the throat, until suddenly Princess Yeon Hwa comes. Her
beautiful face is red, Prince Wang Wook with anger. Yeon Hwa does not expect to
meet Queen Yoo in this place, she knows, she should salute. As Prince Baek Ah
experiences a similar turmoil, "Can you find a way, so Soo can get out of
the palace?" The prince persuaded Wang So.
"How can I
persuade a man to leave the palace door when he himself decides?" Prince
Wang So answer.
"If he does not
decide to enter the palace, we will all die ..." Prince Baek Ah gives a
reason.
"If Soo wants, she
can run away at the first opportunity. Now nobody can stop. Is Soo special to
you? Why should you defend her? "Prince Wang So looks at Prince Baek Ah's
worried face, what is between them?
"Soo as a close
friend after Madame Hae's death ", Baek Ah never fell in love with Hae
Soo, but friendship after the death of Madame Hae very impressive. Soo never
robs Prince Wang Wook of Madame Hae. Prince Baek Ah recalls, after the funeral
day almost every night sat drinking with Hae Soo.
"Why do you never say a word to Madame
Hae?" Hae Soo asked.
"My mother from
Silla Kingdom has collapsed. Wook and I are both prince, nonetheless in a different class. Your family is in the
upper class, my class is too low to ask Myung Hae as a wife ....” Prince Baek
Ah stated the truth, social order is the abyss in life. Hae Soo finds it
difficult to accept social class differences, he needs to feel annoyed.
"People around
you often treat your neighbors as if things were dead. Wait for the next
thousand years. The human degrees are the same, no one has a higher or lower class
than any other person. Prince, is that the difference?" Hae Soo's voice is
loud, inappropriately treating humans by class and lineage, human dignity is
the same.
Hae's words causes Prince Baek Ah to stumble, he closes
Hae Soo's mouth with food, "Careful talk ..."
But Hae Soo
endlessly says, "Everyone can live honorably, but it will all end up
ashes. We can suddenly fall from the sky and live end up living in a place like
this. So follow your heart, miss day after day, do everything we want to do,
everything that makes the heart happy. Okey? "
"Soo talk at
will, and you listen quietly?" Prince Wang So frowned, a prince should not
have to listen to a girl's words without consideration.
"I should be
angry, but the words are true. Look at Goryeo, family relations always take
precedence. Humans are appreciated when coming from noble families and look
attractive. Humans are recognized when married with good family. If this
prince's life is so bad, what about the lives of ordinary people?" Baek Ah
always remembers Hae Soo's words with a pent-up question, why a Hae family girl
who had fallen and lost memories can talk about a thousand years into the
future. Only a broad-minded person can say.
"What exactly
do you want? You want to undermine this kingdom? You want to change this
nation? "Prince Wang So was unable to reach the truth of the words of Baek
Ah. He never imagined Goryeo a thousand years ahead.
"I just want to
be free. Hyungnim also wants to be free right? What about Hae Soo? How can
orphaned women, siblings have survived in a place like this? After this day
passes, she will never see the King again. Life like this can make it slowly
die .... "Prince Baek Ah's voice turns bitter, as if he is the perpetrator
who must be forced to marry a king. The basis of marriage is love, in this case
The Majesty King never even knew Hae Soo. What if he as a fragile human must
undergo this fate. The sweet face of Prince Baek Ah looked wistful.
On the other hand
Prince Wang So was silent, the masked face became wistful. He knows Hae Soo as
a different figure from most girls in the Goryeo neighborhood. This girl has
courage and freedom of movement, her face is not less beautiful with Princess
Yeon Hwa, Soo does not even have the characteristics of high-hearted attitude.
The girl gave a sense of peace, Prince Wang So took a deep breath. He must do
something even though it will end up in vain. As for Hae Soo has passed the
examination of all ladies, there is not a slight scratch on his body. He has a
condition for the first night with a king. Clothes that were originally worn
somewhere, now he was wearing white clothes. He really felt strange with the
clothes and atmosphere in this place. With a sullen thought the girl fell
silent in the corner of the room. Suppose there is a way out of marriage.
***
"Time to take a
bath, marriage set after sunset", Sanggung Oh persuade Hae Soo bathe,
touching the girl's arm, she has prepared all the toiletries for the bride.
"Leave me
alone! This morning I just found out I had to marry a king without a deal. I
need to think about all this ", Hae Soo brushed off Sanggung Oh's soft hand.
"Okay, wait.
I'll check the tub ", Sanggung Oh's steps gracefully leaving Hae Soo alone.
A self in the corner of Hae Soo's room decides to run away. She remembered the
secret tunnel, she was sure the entrance to the tunnel would be there. Hae Soo
hurriedly ran from the room, to a hallway looking a lady. With a quick dash she
immediately hide, but when out of the hideout she faced directly with a tall
figure Sanggung Oh. The lady's head looked with cold eyes.
While Prince Wang So
moved quickly, went to see Ji Mong. "Is there a way out to stop this
marriage? Do you have other plans?" The Prince grumbles at the throat's
neck, so Ji Mong almost loses his breath, repeatedly hitting Prince Prince So's
hand, so the prince takes him off.
In the hall a eunuch
comes to the hall,The Majesty King who was reading the statement "... Hong
Ha's family has surrendered his daughter, Hae Soo. Right now Hae Soo has been
preparing for the wedding ... " for a moment The Majesty the King stopped
reading, asked the eunuch.
"Hae Soo? Is he the cousin of the wife of
the 8th prince?" King Taejo's face looks sour, he gets an offer to marry a
girl from Hae's family to embrace the allies, but why should she be Hae Soo?
"True The Majesty
", Eunuch bowed down with the uncle.
"Why should the
child? Hae's family is really greedy ... " The King greets, he must marry
a young girl who deserves to be the bride of a prince.
"Is this
marriage to be canceled?" Eunuch asked.
" It would be
useless if I cancel this marriage ... Where else should I find suitable women?
No matter, let's go ... "
***
Hae Soo has been
preparing in the bridal chamber, this beautiful red-colored outfit seemed to
seize her tiny body and without a scratch. Her hair, which had been loosened
up, was now bun with a sparkling ornamen stitch of precious metal with a
gemstone. She was preparing to leave the singles, she could no longer break
down the hair just like the other girls. The hair bun is a sign of a man who is
preparing to marry or has married. Sanggung Oh also make up her face with an expert,
daemed also a red lipstick, chapped lips that looked as if blood was lying in
the snow. If this whole makeup was for Prince Wang Wook, not an old king she
never loved.
Hae Soo now knows
the meaning of frantic, in what way can she end this chaos? Her mind still has
not stopped. She alone waiting for the presence of a king before the first
night, because of forced marriage. With The Majesty the King's steps toward the
bridal chamber, she will restart the experience that has happened thirty times.
King Taejo's step
stalled when suddenly Prince Wook looked down on his knees. "Please
forgive The Majesty, there is what I want to say", the 8th Prince
desperately took the final step to tie Hae Soo, begging, kneeling before The
Royal Highness.
"What do you
need to say?" King Taejo is hindered, why Wang Wook the intelligent prince
known as the Goryeo scholar is blocking the steps toward the bridal room?
"The royal family already has many.
Another powerful family is still trying to keep an eye on the movements of the
royal family. I wonder why The Majesty should bring another family?"
"I have a
reason, I need the help of Hae's family to stop the fight with Khitan. Why are
you opposed to this marriage?" King Taejo begins to feel furious, Wang
Wook is known for his intelligence, but does the prince know the strategy of
controlling the kingdom. Actually Wang Geon does not need to marry anyone, he
is always married to this kingdom. He does not need to know love, love has been
completely shed for Goryeo.
If Wang Wook knew.
"Because, because ..." Prince Wang Wook stammered, it was not easy
for him to explain the cancellation of a king's marriage. Should he have
stated, if he wants The Majesty's permission for this marriage? So suddenly
Prince Wang So has arrived, asked, "What if The Majesty uses another way
of getting allies for Goryeo?" 4th Prince travels similarly in a desperate
state like Prince Wang Wook, kneels before the king. He knows all the
consequences, even if the king has to hate him.
"What are you
doing!? Do you guys have to be led to the gallows?" The Majesty King's
voice thundered like a thunderbolt, rattling the walls and the whole room. The
walls of the bridal chamber seemed to be cracked, due to Wang Geon's outrage.
He just needs to spend tonight to declare Hae Soo as the king's wife. After
that, he will forget for a thousand nights onward. He does not care if the
bride will still be waiting in the same room in the year long years afterwards.
He is a king, for Goryeo he can do anything, including scolding and executing
princes.
"I found
witnesses who saw one of Hae's family members allying with Khitan. The Majesty
should punish Hae's family, hand over the border to another family. The King
can let Hae's family remain an official in their city. Fellowship can also be
without marriage. There are other ways to reduce the power of Hae's family.
Should The Majesty offer them a favor?" Prince Wang So still has the rest
of his courage for long words, even though the words do not change the decision
of a king. King Taejo Wang Geon's eyes are as red as blood as he stares at
Prince Wang So, he right to be angry, for the objection to this marriage.
"Marriage
continues. If I follow your advice to punish the Family of Hae, then it took
half a day to send troops there. At that time, the border had been breached by
Khitan. If I should teach Hae Family, would not you be afraid of the actions of
another powerful family? In this kingdom there is no need to find a reason to
act. You must find the right reasons to prevent. Understand? Your reason is not
strong enough ... " Wang Geon always has a reason, why the marriage must
happen, he must prevent Goryeo from the attacks of other nations. The Majesty
King returns with a definite step. Prince Wang So silent thousand languages, he
failed to save Hae Soo, his whole body feels limp. He means nothing before a
king. He was forced to pull over, giving way as he passed her.
He sees Hae Soo
standing in front of the room, the girl clad in a bride's clothes as red as
blood, looking as if an angel descends from the sky. But the look of the face
is far from displaying the happiness of a bridegroom. Hae Soo is not on the eve
of the first night, she will be raped a king then dumped forever. What is the
beautiful dress of a royal bride? Prince Wang So sees as if Hae Soo is about to
speak to The Majesty, but King Taejo does not even look at her face, The King
continues walking as if Hae Soo's beautiful bride is nobody.
Hae Soo has found the only way. A moment of silence
hangs, alarming. Suddenly the atmosphere of silence is ripped by the sound of a
broken jar. Everyone turned toward the sound. The King's eyes widened in
disbelief, Prince Wang So stood as statues as Prince Wang Wook felt his whole
body shiver. Hae Soo, the bride took a very bold and dangerous action without
realizing the consequences. The bride grabbed a piece of broken jug, injured
her wrist, blood began to drip. The wrist is now as red as the color of the
pangantin outfit. "This time I have a reason to stop marriage, a woman with
a scar can not be the wife of a king. The Majesty, stop this marriage ....
" Hae Soo is not sure whether this bloodstain will stop or continue to
flood, she will die. Better to die before the wedding night arrives than to die
slowly after being dumped by a king.
Taejo's king stares
at Hae Soo without blinking, beautiful girl, clever, dare to take the danger as
well as not understand the result against a king's decision. Long enough the
King's Majesty was transfixed, Prince Wang Wook and Prince Wang So held their
breath, both hit by the same fear. Will the King soon execute the death
penalty? The atmosphere in the alley was as tense as the air around the gallows
when a man found guilty was ready to exhale. Meanwhile, all the clothes Hae
Soo's wearing were now covered in blood.
Suddenly the
laughter of The Majesty King, "You have more courage than a man. Call Hong
Ha Jin Hae, I have to talk ", Wang Geon gives orders to the eunuch then
walks away as if this place never happened anything.
Hae Soo hunted by fear
and unspeakable pain, she has determined her attitude bravely. She had
succeeded in thwarting this marriage, but the flow of blood slowly changed like
a sea of red. Her eyes were drooping, her
breathing tight, as if there were no air anymore. Pain on the wrists sliced through
the pit of the heart, the fragile body now becoming unsteady. A thousand stars
seemed to collide, then the sky turned into a piece of black velvet cloth, with
Hae Soo's whole body falling down. Prince Wang So was in a hurry to catch the
swaying body, but lost quickly to Prince Wang Wook. Sprightly hand Prince 4th
catch Hae Soo before the body was rolled against the floor. Anxiously re-ambush
the whole chest of the prince, is he able to save Soo? While standing, Prince
Wang So was still transfixed. Everything went by quickly, the request was never
granted. Apparently Hae Soo has one more clever way, a dangerous act that can
stop her breathing.
In the court yard of
Prince Wang Eun, Prince Wang Jung, Prince Baek Ah, and Prince Wang Won are
waiting. The whole face looked worried, what would happen to Hae Soo? If the
wedding night had happened, no princess could reach her. They will lose forever,
and the princes know what it means to lose. It is when day-by-day will pass
away empty. The four princes were aghast, as Prince Wang Wook stepped out
anxiously, on both hands Hae Soo's body was still wrapped in a wedding dress.
The clothes ... the clothes dripped blood. Hae Soo droops, the fainted in Prince Wook's arms.
What happened?
The princes hunt
down the limp body. "Call the healer!" Prince Wang Wook screamed, his
voice hoarse.
***
Dreams are a life
between real and absent, when humans fall asleep, when humans hope, when
consciousness away, away ... for a cause. Everything is vague, blurred, and
without form asking , "Where am I?"
"Where am I? Am
I dead, ah no. Goryeo ... Taejo Wang Geon, Gwangjong ... I must forget
something ... The 4th King Goryeo, Gwangjong. Yes, Gwangjong is the 4th king.
He's the king who killed his brother and his subordinates. 4th King Goryeo,
Gwangjong. Who is he? Who among the princes? Is it possible ... ", Hae Soo
delirious. It seemed to be trapped into the fog of history, she drooped through
the tunnel of time then everything became faint, losing form. Hae Soo suddenly
woke up, she was immediately confronted by Sanggung Oh's beautiful face.
The beautiful lips
moved, "Yes, you are alive and unmarried. I'm the one responsible for
taking care of you, not the physician" Sanggung Oh's dazed eyes staring down at the
young face, a question in her heart, What will happen to this girl, a tiny body
who dares to oppose a king's decision? Does he know the consequences?
"Is not this a palace?" Hae Soo
asks, she observes the room around her.
"You are still alive, still inside the
palace ..." Sanggung Oh replied briefly.
"You mean I can not go from this place,
dead?"
"According to
the wound healer is too deep and will remain imprinted", Sanggung Oh
diverts the conversation, she can not understand the meaning of this girl said.
"That's what I
hope, the scar to stop marriage with a king ", Hae Soo grateful, she
managed to avoid the cursed night.
"Do you not
dream of being the wife of a king? You will live in wealth and prosperity”, A thing coveted by Goryeo Sanggung Oh girls
stares at Hae Soo without hiding a sense of wonder, as other girls dream of the
glory of being a king's wife. This one girl even refused by injuring her wrist.
"Every human being has the right to
determine the fate of life, though it must oppose the decision of a king. Every
human being is the master of each life ", Hae Soo does not hesitate with
her words, she really does not imagine forcing one night with an old king then
dumped forever, she has the right to do.
" You are still
very young, the king resulted in punishment. Prepare ..." Sanggung Oh can
not imagine, what punishment will be imposed on this girl? She will return to
see a story.
"I have acted accordingly, nothing to be
regretted. Whatever punishment will be imposed", Hae Soo can not imagine
what the punishment is, but it is always better than being a bride one night
with a king.
"If so, rest ..." Sanggung Oh must
admit, how charming this young girl. Her attitude and words were impressive,
Sanggung Oh took a deep breath and then stepped out of the room. The lady's
head was shocked, when outside the room was Prince Wook waiting.
He immediately
bowed, "Please ..." the lady's head invited Prince Wang Wook into the
room. With one question, why should a Goryeo prince be anxious and hassle,
because of a wound on a girl's wrist? The rebel bride. Prince Wang Wook looked
at Hae Soo with a sigh of relief, the crucial moment passed. He acknowledged
this girl's courage in saving herself, no one thought of that out. He and Prince Wang So have even
despaired. Softly Prince Wang Wook grabbed Hae Soo's wrist bandaged with a
bandage.
"It's over, the wound in your hands is
the reason for The King to cancel the marriage. Hae's family has been concluded
against the interests of this country. Your family will no longer use you",
Prince Wang Wook always felt a special atmosphere while being beside Hae Soo,
even though the girl was just now awakened from a faint with a wound on the
wrist.
" Night is a
sad time, as if I was a bad person, helpless nothing. I remember the request of
my late wife, I pray according to her request that you return. I will meet that
demand by always looking after you. I will give everything that Myung never
received. If you become the king's wife, I will lose forever. Surely I will
never forgive myself ", the eyes of Prince Wang Wook teary-eyed, he has
recently lost a loving wife. Did he have to lose Soo before the mourning
period?
"I guess I'll never
see you, never say good-bye ..." Prince Wang Wook was finally unable to
resist the tears. He ever cried in front of this girl, is there a mistake when
she did it again? sincere heart of the Prince embracing the fragile body of Hae
Soo, "I will not let anything like this happen again", Prince Wang
Wook closed his eyes, if he can keep hugging Hae Soo forever.
While Ji Mong
faithfully accompanied The Royal Majesty who stays all night. "Does not The
Majesty need to rest?" The star expert asked, even a great king still
needs to rest. King Taejo's old face looks tired, there are so many surprising
things that happen unexpectedly. This time the rejection of a prospective
bride, why is there a girl dismissing a king's marriage? Why does he need to
hurt himself for a reason? The girl is beautiful, too brave, and really smart.
Where does it come from?
"What will The Majesty do to Soo?"
Ji Mong feels the need to know the fate of Hae Soo after this. "Send her
to be a slave", deep in the heart The King understands Hae Soo's
rejection, he even feels sorry for the young girl . However, he is a king. A
big mistake when a girl dares to reject her marriage. He does not need to
execute the death penalty, it is proper to be a slave. Working hard on those
who hate it.
"Can not it be a court lady? Queen Yoo
and Queen Hwangbo need a lady. Even Sanggung Oh also want Soo ... " Ji
Mong offers a better choice, he knows the meaning of being a slave. Unlimited
suffering for every girl who has to live.
Taejo's king glances
at Ji Mong, he knows the master's good relationship with the princes. Does Ji
Mong have become a tonguepiece? Not Ji Mong, the princes who want Hae Soo to be
court ladies. Upset with The Royal Highness King slams the document being read,
"What really is Soo's relationship with the princes. The 8th and 4th
Prince even kneel, begging the wedding to be canceled. It's enough of this
problem. "
" Sanggung Oh
from the Damiwon Palace also needs it ... "Ji Mong did not give up with
the King's anger. He heard the experts in tat arias and interested in all kinds
of herbal. Hae Soo will help many royal families if handed over to Sanggung Oh.
"Where Soo?" The King's annoyance
subsided when he heard the name Sanggung Oh, the face even looked sad. Sanggung
Oh reminds Wang Geon of a story in the past, a long time ago. However, is he
really able to forget?
***
Where is Hae Soo?
Like a pair of
lovers who are afflicted for a thousand years, Hae Soo and Prince Wang Wook are
walking in the park. Green leaves look radiant as beautiful as emeralds,
flowers blooming, even the pool water is as clear as glass. Prince Wang Wook
sees the wound on Hae Soo's wrist. He helps her cover her by pulling up her
sleeves until the scar is out of sight. Hae Soo smiles, she really wants to be
with Prince Wook. The move seemed to float on the winds of a thousand flowers.
Could she always be together? How she wanted to meet with Madame Hae or just
visit her grave. Always imagine the kindness of the cousin's cousin.
"Yes, we can go together. She once asked
us to always take care of you. Marking us together on a pilgrimage to the tomb,
she will surely feel peace ... " Prince Wang Wook seems to know the heart
of Hae Soo, he will gladly accompany the visit to the tomb. The 8th prince
holds the shoulders of Hae Soo , her gentle smile will cause every girl in
Goeryeo to fall in love. Hae Soo has never been able to forget the smile.
Wang Wook wants to
keep Hae Soo on the shoulder, but he sees Ji Mong step closer. He had to take
Hae Soo's shoulder off. Ji Mong smiled, within a distance he bowed to Prince
Wang Wook, "Apologize the Prince, I convey The Majesty's command that Soo
Agasshi can be a lady at the Damiwon Palace with Sanggung Oh", Ji Mong's
duty is to convey the king's order, he must accept the bitter truth, that Prince
Wook's face turned as if the water was turbid. This decision meant that he had
to part with Hae Soo, although the distance farewell was not too far around the
palace.
"Soo Agashi is still allowed to be a lady
at Damiwon Palace, open to slave in a very distant place", Ji Mong
understands Prince Wang Wook's . How is Hae Soo's cousin finally having to work
as a lady, or there is no other way out. Instead Hae Soo's face is now smiling,
she knows what to do after opposing the king's decision, working always a lady
with Sanggung Oh. Is not she an expert in the field of cosmetology and experts
recognize the form of herbs?
"I do not mind
even having to work as a lady," Hae Soo responded.
"Even as a lady, but Agasshi remains a
noble descendant, there will be special treatment. Hard work will be rewarded
with holidays and marriage permits ", Ji Mong adds, he has also succeeded
in finding a way out, so that Hae Soo can re-write his destiny alive.
Hae Soo looks happy,
she again has a reason to forget that frightening night. She will start a new
life, after Myung Hae is gone, right to settle in the residence of Prince Wang
Wook?
"Prepare to go
..." Ji Mong bends over and then resigns. It is not difficult to carry out
the task. Prince Wook's face is still the same with the turbid water, the
distance reached will be back stretched. Could he possibly fulfill his wife's
last wish to always be near Soo.
"The distance
to visit Myung's grave is farther, but she will always be in the heart",
Hae Soo reopens the conversation, she does not understand how the prince feels
really. Prince 8th needs some time to calm down before looking back at Hae
Soo's sweet face.
"It is true Ji
Mong said, you are not sent to a distant place as a slave. Do not ever worry
... "Wang Wook tries to strengthen the girl's heart, after living as a
noble family, can she become a lady?
"I will do my
best to fit in Damiwon Castle ", Soo does not want to make Prince Wang
Wook worried. Just as Ji Mong said dhe is still lucky, Her Excellency
understands for a favored job in the palace environment. Prince Wook's takes
something from behind the clothes then gives Hae Soo. Is the sheet of paper Hae
Soo once drafted, The Prince tries to smile.
"I'll visit you every day", a sweet
promise that the truth is not yet certain, because of time and changes.
However, it is quite a farewell greeting. Hae Soo is still smiling when Prince
Wang Jung, Prince Wang Eun, Prince Wang Won, and Prince Baek Ah ran up. The
faces still look worried, they want to confirm the last state after the bloody
wound on the prince's wrist. The princes seemed relieved to see Hae Soo in good
shape. Behind the cast, Prince Wang So appeared standing stunned at Ji Mong.
"You understand why I should kneel before
The Majesty?" The Prince's voice whispered, as if worried when another
prince would hear him.
"I understand ..." Ji Mong slowly
responded, his eyes glancing at the masked face. The prince is holding his
heart's deepest content. The princes are still saying hello to Hae Soo, but
Prince Wang Wook feels the need to stop, "It's time for Soo to leave, it's
the first day. When it's too late Sanggung Oh will get angry. "
" Right, do not
let Soo late", Prince Wang Won agrees.
"Sanggung Oh is
a dreadful lad's head ", Prince Wang Eun contends, he always remembers the
cold gaze of the lady's head. I do not know what story lies behind her eyelids.
"I will visit
you every day", Prince Wang Jung promised. He is grateful that Hae Soo is
in good health after opposing the king's orders. The girl still has a place in
the palace, although working as a lady. He can still see the "brave"
girl. Hae Soo looks at the faces of the princes one by one. The sunlight causes
the face to appear as a captivating figure clad in the greatness of princes
Goryeo. Why should he be with the princes, accept all the goodness of his
heart? Who among the princes would kill a brother himself? Who will be King
Gwangjong?
No! The murder will
not happen, deep inside Hae Soo asks. When looking at Prince Wang Wook's
handsome face, she again asks himself. "Could it be ...?"
Ji Mong comes back, nodding as a sign, a
moment for Hae Soo to leave. "From this place the steps start ..."
Hae Soo knows that time with the princes as Prince Wang Wook's brother-in-law
is over. She stood for a moment in front of Prince Wang Wook, the 4th Prince
back to give encouragement, "There is nothing to be afraid of, you know
that," Prince Wang Wook tried his best to control himself, the first day
for Hae Soo at Damiwon Palace as ladies meant he had to always ready to lose. Hae
Soo stepped, she must write back the fate of life after successfully thwart
forced marriage. As she passed Prince Wang So, the girl slightly bowed her
head. The 4th prince was silent, his eyes peering out from behind the mask
glancing at Hae Soo's wrists that were still bandaged. Then the distance was
stretched, getting wider. When Hae Soo finally stepped foot arrived at the royal family bath area, cold
face Sanggung Oh already waiting ...
