SCARLET HEART, RYEO --Roman Under The Avsolute Monarchy, Sixteen




Park Soon Duk tried hard against the soldiers alone, she knew her death was at stake. Will she still be able to look at tomorrow with the prince forever. She is a female soldier accustomed to freeing a sword, if this time is a balanced battle. However, too many royal soldiers. Prince Wang Eun is aware of the consequences that must be endured when deciding to accompany Soon Duk, not to hide. There is a tremor in the recesses of the heart, he must slash the sword without any combat ability at all, he is not fighting against the enemy troops of the neighbouring kingdom, but with the soldier Goryeo under the orders of King Wang Yo. Why is an elder brother willing to slaughter little one, because he does not give support? Prince Wang Eun knew he would never win this fight, even though Park Soon Duk was a female warrior, the daughter of a general too. From upstairs The Majesty King Wang Yo looked at the fight with a cold stare. He must get rid of the traitor before the throne is threatened.
When a soldier manages to hurt Park Soon Duk, Prince Wang Eun almost screams, the blood-red manor is really frightening. What will happen to a wife when she is involved in a fight between life and death? Upset coming late, since marriage he hardly ever applies as a wise husband, Park Soon Duk love and give the whole life. He has been arbitrary since the day of marriage, but not for now. He tried to protect Soon Duk from the next wound.
"Go…. Save yourself! "Park Soon Duk sounds crazy, she regrets why Prince Wang Eun got into a fight, not saving himself while remaining a slice of time.
"I can not leave a wife!" Prince Wang Eun denied, the hair on his neck bristling. For a moment the prince looked at The Majesty, he could still ask for a request. "Let them go. We will never set foot in Goryeo ... " is Prince Eun's last request. King Wang Yo did not want to pardon, The Majesty signalled a soldier to end the resistance.
So the soldier silently moves to strike the sword towards Prince Wang Eun, Park Soon Duk's hand moving pushing Prince Wang Eun away. Then the sword's blade finally slashed the body of Park Soon Duk, the woman's soldier fell in blood. Prince Wang Eun screamed, he never expected this day to happen, but Park Soon Duk had been lying on the king's command. The prince's face paled like a shroud, he never dreamed of marriage, but could she lose it in a painful way?
Prince Wang Eun was astonished, there was still power left to reach the limp's body of the general's daughter. "You will be fine ...." The voice was broken with sobs, Wang Eun knew that Park Soon Duk was so bad, the blood would never stop flooding. As the prince's heart lurched, he could feel the sight of a loving wife who had come to the last day. For a moment Park Soon Duk smiled as if she did not regret the last day, because she was in the prince's arms. Soon the lady's soldier drooped, exhaling the final. Marriage becomes very short-lived together, even before their hearts are completely united. Prince Wang Eun could not resist the sobs, tears flooding.
From the height of The Majesty witnessed the death with a frozen face, no need to weep. He stretches the arc, aiming the arrows at, then the arm of Prince Wang Eun is injured, blood drips. The second arrow is back on target, at the same time Prince Wang So comes to rescue Prince Wang Eun, against the soldiers. The Majesty  does not care about the presence of the 4th Prince, he still mentions the son to Prince Wang Eun.
Prince Wang Jung and Hae Soo arrived shortly afterwards, Prince Wang Jung tried to help Prince Wang Eun, but the soldiers managed to hold him. When a soldier was about to attack Prince Wang Eun, Prince Wang So again gave protection. The Majesty wasted no time, the second arrow shot out over the exact timing of the body of Prince Wang Eun. The prince collapsed in the arms of Prince Wang So. From the measurable distance of Prince Wang Jung and Hae Soo glued to where he stood with a choked neck. There was still a lifetime for Prince Wang Eun's last request, "Did not Hyungnim ever promise on my birthday to give me a gift, whatever I ask?" The voice stammered with a groan.
"What is that request?" Prince Wang So as though seeing death draws closer, he has repeatedly seen the man stretch his life, but now in his arms is Wang Eun, beloved brother. His chest was as if he were choked with a stone.
"I can not let Soon Duk leave alone, I have to be with her. Know what I mean?" The voice was getting weaker. While The Majesty was preparing with the third arrow.
The air seemed to be smothered in a haze when Prince Wang So had to fulfil Prince Wang Eun's request with a frenzy. Could he possibly forgive himself for fulfilling that request? The tears of the 4th Prince limped as he sprang up the blade of the sword. Hae Soo whispered, "Do not ..." but the whisper then with the bloody scented breeze.
Everything seemed to be unreal when Prince Wang So had properly fulfilled that request to free the sword to Prince Wang Eun's body, so the prince could go with Park Soon Duk forever. The 10th Prince is still trying to reach out to Park Soon Duk, then death takes him away to eternity. The King's Majesty's smile widened, he had succeeded in crushing the traitor.
Prince Wang Jung's mighty force escaped the clutches of soldiers embracing the 10th prince's warm body. While Prince Wang So was hit by a sledgehammer, he screamed and laughed, he knew it would be hard to forgive himself. How much he loves Wang Eun wholeheartedly, how he must fulfil the request by ending his life. After expressing regret, Prince Wang So turned to look at The Majesty. In his eyes of incandescent vengeance, Prince Wang So waits one day to pay for this defeat. Soon after Prince Wang So leaves, he has to find somewhere to calm himself.
While Hae Soo sits on the ground, the entire bone seems to come off, she stares at the body of Prince Wang Eun, who collapsed with blood shaking with trembling. Her tears dripped, once again she had to witness the tragic death in the palace walls. Think back to a hilarious introduction to Prince Wang Eun, her childish attitude, her unrequited love. Wang Eun is an impressive friend, now he is lying in front of his eyes forever on the orders of The Royal Highness. There was an indestructible slashing wound, Hae Soo wondering to herself-until when she would survive in this life, when the princes were fighting over the throne and as if they could do anything, including slaughtering the other prince.
As for Prince Wang So, the streets and walls of the palace seemed to be smeared with Prince Wang Eun's blood, a pair of puffy eyes, his heart racing faster. When he met General Park's face of the Fourth Prince more gloomily, there were not enough words of grief to say. For a moment he stood transfixed with his tongue, his blade covered with blood. On the other hand General Park was immediately beset by panic, the attitude and silent mouth of Prince Wang So had uttered the worst. Without saying anything, General Park ran after Park Soon Duk's sprawling body. This time even a general can not stem the tears, he has repeatedly threatened death, killing opponents. However, who is now killed with tragic his beloved daughter?
"The dream of being a bride of a prince should be redeemed by death", General Park hugged the still-warm body of Park Soon Duk, the face so sweet as a child. He must lose the sweet girl in a painful way. Today will be a day of mourning forever.
"Soon Duk is a stubborn, but faithful and never change. Were Prince Wang Eun love her?" The voice broke down.
"Prince Wang Eun loves her so much that both love each other until the end of her life", without a doubt Hae Soo replied, her tears clear moisture cheeks.
"I hope you go quietly ..." General Park still hugged the body of Park Soon Duk, not easy to lose in this way.
"I'll kill Wang So!" Prince Wang Jung was burned by rancour, his heart was torn to see a husband and wife killed arbitrarily. Why should? He rose to draw his sword ready to deal with Prince Wang So.
"Prince Wang Eun himself asked Prince Wang So to end his life, the prince wants to accompany Soon Duk forever. Prince So innocent ", Hae Soo stops Prince Wang Jung's step. Hae Soo's words cause Prince Wang Jung's steps to stop.
"Euuunnn ... .. !!" Prince Wang Jung screamed despair, the sky as if collapsed buried his whole life.
The scream was inaudible to Prince Wang So who had stepped away, his heart burning with anger that did not know where to vent. He's too far in this mess, he will not be forgetting the last face of Prince Wang Eun when death picked up. He loves the 10th Prince, but must fulfil his last request. At that moment Choi Ji Mong comes with a troubled face, he has grown old inside the palace walls with all the interminable disputes. The feathers of the star's nerve bristled, as Prince Wang So with a frosty red face, "It turns out I must be a killer dog, who bites the boss and takes over his home. I am a crazy wolf, "without waiting for the prince to go away. Prince Wang So keeps on walking, he wants to get away from the mess, he wants to forget, if there's no one today, there is a determination to harden in the recesses of the heart.
" I, Wang So, will become the King of Goryeo. I have to stop all this confusion ... "
                                                                
                                                               ***
While The Majesty guiltlessly conveyed the death of Prince Wang Eun and Park Soon Duk to Prince Wang Wook. " Both have gone ... " no faces of sorrow or regret. Must have happened. When Prince Wang Wook seemed to be silent without feeling, he was too clever to hide an emotional turmoil like an ocean storm. How can a king convey the death of a prince without regret?
"The rebellion of Wang Eun was falsified, the original plan was successful," The Majesty  smiled faintly, he had managed to fake an incident and put Prince Wang Eun as a victim.
"Congratulations ..." Prince Wang Wook gave a speech without showing his feelings.
 "No one will ever shake my throne asking I will move the capital from Songak to Seokyeong on the first occasion", The Majesty's grin still looks vague  moving the capital to Seokyeong, the uncle, Wang Sik Ryeom would be happy.
                                                                           ***
The night came darker than the thousands of nights before, the cool wind blew the pores. In the star tower Prince Wang So sat glued, he was hit by a very deep loss. When can he look into the young face of Prince Wang Eun who is trying to be happy with the daughter of a general? Prince Baek Ah came up with a face of grief, "Eun and Soon Duk are declared traitors, no royal food, both of them are not even allowed to be buried in family land. No one is allowed to wear mourning clothes. The corpse had been thrown into the forest to prey on the crows. We have buried secretly, the arrows can not be ejected from Eun hyungnim's body, Jung broke it", Prince Baek Ah's voice as a groan, he did not expect a king could be so kind to younger brother.
"Eun still remember birthday after I forget. He still asks for a present, accompanying Soon Duk away forever. The awful prize only biased by the 4th Prince who had been a wolf ", Prince Wang So now realizes how much he loves Wang Eun. How to lose in this way, hurt to the deepest recesses. He will stop Wang Yo, The Majesty for not acting more arbitrarily.
"Eun would have thanked for the birthday present", Prince Baek Ah understands Prince Wang So's heart agitation. The 4th Prince is not only in mourning, but also in the wrong circumstances. Suddenly Choi Ji Mong arrives with a letter in hand, "It's too late, Letter from Hae Soo, she left it when she did not find anyone in the timing tower".
Prince Wang So received the letter with a question mark. What is it? His eyes widened as he read a series of letters: Eun hid in Damiwon. The letter read before The Majesty stretched three arrows for Wang Eun. Prince Wang So knew where he was headed, he rushed to the edge of the lake. Hae Soo half rushes for the arrival, but Prince Wang So looks at him sharply, his voice cynical, "You must think of me as a wolf, for killing Eun?" It is not easy for the 4th Prince to forget the pale face of Wang Eun to death.
"I know why the prince should fulfil that request", Hae Soo is stunned, she did not expect Prince Wang So to be pronounced with a muffled anger.
"Why do you hide the real situation, if Eun is at Damiwon, you can not trust a wolf? You're afraid I'm going to slaughter Eun for no reason?" Prince Wang So's voice was spoken with a bitter tongue.
"I'm so worried about Prince Wang Eun, afraid of something bad happening to him. He was also afraid something bad happened to Prince Wang So. Prince Eun thinks things will change if both manage to escape. Now it was too late already, between the fellow prince was forced to hurt each other. So I wrote the letter, because I still believe the 4th Prince. Everything takes time, but I really believe whatever happens ", Hae Soo's tongue is bitter with Prince Wang So's tongue, she knows
the prince has changed, because of this tragedy.
"But, starting today is not the same anymore, if you deliver the message at the first opportunity, Eun will still be alive", hard for Prince Wang So to blame himself, he needs to console himself with blame others. Hae Soo does not fully believe, Wang Eun died tragically in his hands-on request as a birthday present. In order to save Hae Soo, he must be a wolf to The Royal Highness, his feelings never change. However, now Prince Wang So really feels empty and lost, chest tightness has to curse himself. When the atmosphere on the lake is empty, just as empty as the feelings of two dubious men and then loses.
"The whole thing has changed", Prince Wang So's face changed between the pale and the red, his mood swirling like a raging war with no end.
"Prince lies ", Hae Soo almost jumps up to where she stands, she has written a secret note proclaiming Prince Wang Eun at Damiwon so Prince Wang So can determine the rescue step. The letter was late until, unreadable, which happened even on the contrary, Prince Wang Eun passed away in a terrible way.
"We have promised not to lie to each other", the 4th Prince speaks without looking at Hae Soo's face, Prince Wang Eun's death not only causes him to lose, he has lost everything, with the clouded face of Prince Wang So leaving Hae Soo leaving behind stood as if it were a stone statue, everything changed rapidly as if a beautiful beach was hit by a storm, unconsciously the tears of the lady's heads dripping again, tears how many times, as Prince Wang So stepped back into the star tower without ever looking back, had forgotten the past for ever, the atmosphere in the star tower more quiet, cold and empty, this time the prince could not resist the sorrows, his eyes became dim, teary, and soon the drizzle was dripping.
                                                                     ***
The next day The Holiness King gave praise without knowing the true heart of Prince Wang So. "Thanks for helping to punish Eun, the traitor. What I should give you is a farm for you. Then go to Seokyeong going to the new capital of Goryeo, supervise the construction of the palace there ", The King gracious smile without realizing how empty and void the face of Prince Wang So. Only in the heart of the heart, he said, 'I will not let this arbitrariness longer, I'll pay for it'.
Finished meeting finished already. Next Prince Wang Jung came to ask, "Is there The Majesty  not afraid after blood spilt over the palace floor?" still imagine the body of Prince Wang Eun and Park Soon Duk lying bloodied, his heartbroken.
"One will not be king if not have the courage to shed blood, you must be careful for it", the words were spoken easily as well as a warning.
 "I want to see the situation to the border area", Prince Wang Jung asked, he wanted to leave the horrible atmosphere of the palace.
"Go away, my blessing for you, but do not walk far in the front line, the mother must worry", The Royal Majesty agreed on the wishes of Prince Wang Jung.
"I want to step up to the farthest extent, so far enough to be a coward", for a moment Prince Wang Jung stared into the face of The Royal Highness.
"I'll see for myself how long it actually lasts I have to pay for your crime," Prince Wang Jung's gaze sharpened. He did not want a long-standing meeting, it was enough time to say goodbye. Before leaving Prince Wang Jung laid two pieces of arrows are deliberately taken from Prince Prince Eun's dead body. Suddenly the eyes of The Majesty wide open, he will always remember the arrows that killed the Prince of the 10, vaguely as if he heard Wang Eun's moans from the grave. The hairs of his neck bristled as the moans grew louder. Wang Eun asked for justice, The Majesty knows, he must do something.
"Prepare the offerings for those who have passed away in Gaeguksa, now", commands The Majesty  to the court eunuch, he began to feel the fear after seeing the broken arrows. after all, everyone left the throne room.
General Park said cynically, "May Wang So live long, forgetting all the gifts from the King after killing my son and my daughter", the old man's general face staring at Prince Wang So with vengeance, he never understood the real problem. a prince killing his brother?
"Another official whispered," Is there still a human feeling left?" Another voice was heard again. The breeze carried to Prince 4th ear.  The prince sighed, he became the scapegoat for the death of Prince Wang Eun. Is it still proper to stay inside the palace walls? Can he accept all accusations when he is even pressed with the weight of regret, because of the death? While General Park's memories returned in the past, when Prince Wang So, Choi Ji Mong, and Prince Baek Ah came to see him.
"I have heard about the 4th Prince's plan to become king."
"Everyone has the right to have wishes," replied Prince Wang So.
"Choi Ji Mong always said, he saw Prince Wang So has a king star. The late King Taejo also said the same thing, so King Taejo entrusted Prince to me to be taught martial", General Park said quietly despite his heart raging feeling.
"Star King? I do not trust things like that, but I still must be a king If I am forced to kill for that reason, then I must occupy that chair to stop this."
"The late King Taejo once said that for the sake of the state and the royal family, a king must be willing to get rid of everyone. Who will Prince So get rid of in order to be king?"
The next day Prince Baek Ah comes to Hae Soo, "So has left for Seokyeong and will not be back for a while", Baek Ah knows, Hae Soo must be feeling lost. He did not say much when he saw Hae Soo running toward the edge of the lake to find the figure of the 4th Prince, but the figure that was sought right has been swept away to a great distance.
"I'll be waiting for you", the lady's chief speaks to the wind in the very thin hope Prince Wang So knows, she will always wait. The season after the season changed, after the fall bud the flower bloomed again, the green shoots came back to meet. Prince Wang So has not come back yet, Hae Soo is still waiting for with to do her daily chores at Damiwon.
On the sidelines of the busy work Hae Soo still often sat pensively on the edge of the lake until one time Chae Ryung suddenly came rushed, "There is a guest for you", a faint smile decorate the face of the lady. Without waiting for the next words Hae Soo hurriedly stepped back into the palace, hopes soared to meet Prince Wang So. However, in a moment of hope, it was scattered, she did not get the figure of the prince who waited until the two seasons change. The guest was not the 4th Prince, but Prince Wang Jung. Why should the 14th Prince look for her? Hae Soo suppresses disappointment. Where is Prince Wang So? However, Hae Soo responds quickly, she immediately presents hot tea and meets Prince Wang Jung politely.
"I just made a pilgrimage to Eun and Soon Duk's grave .... I thought you were married and left the palace", Prince Wang Jung stared into Hae Soo's gentle face, a face that had not changed since he first remembered when the lady's chief defended him from the evil intentions of the pirates. The lady-head would have no idea of ​​her heart, she did not need to know.
"I'll work and save all the income I get". If Hae Soo is going to take a vacation to a distant place, Hae Soo tries to smile, not at all a question mark, why should Prince Wang Jung come to visit?
When stepping out, the two meet Prince Baek Ah and Woo Hee. "Woo Hee, the lady in Gyobang", Hae Soo introduces the sweet girl to the 14th Prince.
"Ah, the ex-gisaeng?" Prince Wang Jung glimpsed Woo Hee almost without respect.
"Why Baek Ah for always being friends with everyone, with murderers and now with gisaeng." "Before saying it would be better if a prince should consider it", Prince Baek Ah's gentle face furrowed, he felt inconsistent hearing those words comfortably.
"It would be nice to consider friendship with So, he could kill anyone, including your dear brother," Prince Wang Jung glimpsed Prince Baek Ah's face.
"Oh yes, and stop sending an undercover spy so an entertainer to a military base", this time Prince Wang Jung's voice more assertive.
"I never sent a spy, an exhausting job that did not work," Prince Baek Ah denied . A moment the prince is stunned, when Prince Wang Jung goes away, Baek Ah can not resist asking Woo Hee, "How Jung can know? He quickly guessed".
"Although a commander, Jung looks funny", Woo Hee convey her opinion about the figure of the 14th Prince.
While Hae Soo's beautiful eyes are staring at Prince Baek Ah's words, "So, is the prince sending spies to the military base?" Hae Soo asks.
"I just want to know the situation of Jung ", Prince Baek Ah always has a reason.
Hae Soo is still wide-eyed, but secretly he glances at some angles with one question. Where is Prince Wang So? Unconsciously Hae Soo asks in a whisper, "Where is Prince Wang So?"
 "Somewhere in the palace. You do not know when So is back?" Prince Baek Ah asked back.
                                                                  ***
At a place in the palace also The Majesty seemed unable to control himself, his face paled like a shroud, dark circles looming on both eyes, while his hands busy ringing bells, beat the gong, his mouth mumbling a spell. At the altar table were several statues of Buddha and talisman. The Majesty  is performing the ritual of casting out demons. Queen Yoo arrives shortly afterwards, The Royal Majesty grew louder, his ears did not hear a sound when the mother said, "Jung is back".
The Majesty stops ringing the bell as Queen Yoo holds his hand. "You are getting sick, better to lift Jung as the crown prince as well as the successor", the queen is really worried about the state of The Royal Highness, his health continues to deteriorate, his sanity even to be questioned.
"Actually what do you think of me? Animals that can be sacrificed for the throne. I will not die soon, in the last years my mother always complains as if the funeral of King Goryeo is being prepared!" His anger's erupted, he was in a state of misery, supposedly a surrogate mother helped him through the misery. Not the other way around, asking him to let go of the throne.
"Or Jung also wants to be king?" The Majesty  is now suspicious. King Wang Yo's eyes were staring at Queen Yoo in a frenzy, as if he was about to swallow the whole figure of the queen. On the other side of Queen Yoo's neck bristling, The Majesty's eyes grew frightened.
"Prince Wang So came ..." suddenly the bodyguard announces the arrival of Prince Wang So. When the prince is present in the room The Majesty laughs loudly until the whole wall shakes.
 "If mother becomes afraid of my health better I make sure of So as the crown prince", The Majesty  continues to chuckle, a terrible laugh that does not reflect the joy, but on the contrary, he is so frightened. Queen Yoo is stunned, she can catch a sign, the child who has been born is now losing his sanity, for one thing. Queen Yoo feels the palace ceiling almost collapsed, her breathing tightness, she could not stand long in this place. With her half-trembling knees the queen left.
In the courtyard of Prince Wang Wook and Wang Jung on the way to see The Holiness  King, the two of them ran into Hae Soo. Prince Wang Wook gazed into the soft face for a long time had he for a moment forgotten that face? Hae Soo nods like a lady honouring the prince of Goryeo, as if she has never had a wonderful experience with the prince. When the three of them enter the room of The Royal Majesty, King Wang Yo is wreaking anger at Prince Wang So, "Development in Seokyeong is very slow, what can you do ?!"
The Majesty's voice growled. While Hae Soo is stunned when staring at the figure of Prince Wang So in the king's room. But she did not have enough time to continue to be stunned, she immediately did the main job, serving tea for King Wang Yo.
"The construction of the palace in Seokyeong is slow, due to lack of manpower and raw material inventory.
"The Honorable King could not accept the reason, he threw a cup at Prince Wang So then grabbed Hae Soo's hand tightly," Workers must be forced to finish the court on time , you should understand that!" The grasp of The Majesty's arm grew stronger.
Hae Soo is in pain, her little cries stalled. Prince Wang Jung intends to help Hae Soo, but Prince Wang Wook holds the hand of Prince Wang Jung, "No need to get involved ..." For a moment Prince Wang So paused, before finally kneeling, admitting his mistake. While Prince Wang Wook immediately overcame the situation by persuading The Majesty, "We will discuss this issue on the next day", The Royal Majesty finally releases his grip on Hae Soo.
In the evening, Chae Ryung finds Hae Soo writing the poem ever given Prince Wang So. In the heart of Chae Ryung muttering, why is Hae Soo writing that sentence so often? As if she could recognize the similarity of letters. Night is increasingly dived, but Hae Soo had difficulty closing her eyes, there is a wedge in the heart. Was it true that Prince Wang So forgot after that promise? Chae Ryung catches the anxiety, she picks up one suggestion, "Should we look for some fresh air outside?" Hae Soo walks around to let herself be snatched by the night wind, when Prince Wang So stood by the lake, Chae Ryung resigned. However, the 4th Prince soon retreated. He does not want this meeting, Hae Soo quickly said.
"The year over, is it true that the 4th Prince forgets everything?"
" That's right, I must forget. I did not accidentally come to this place", Prince Wang So's voice is as cold as the night breeze.
"The prince is completely forgotten, but I am not", Hae Soo hugged Prince Wang So from behind, she has been hit for thousands of years.
"Keep it here for a while, the prince left without saying goodbye", Prince Wang So's hand rose, his intention to hold Hae Soo's hand, but slowly his hand stopped, then clenched.
"Does the prince still hate me?"  Hae Soo tears. Wang So hardened, silently he released Hae Soo's embrace and then passed, not to mention the princess glancing at Hae Soo's face as if she had died.
                                                                              ***
Woo Hee secretly faces The Majesty must convey something, "So is plotting something with some clans in Songak, deliberately slowing down the construction of a new capital and doing disgraceful things to prevent the construction of a new palace. Construction monitoring is not workable, because Wang Sik Reom is sick".
“So do all this to get the throne!!" The Majesty's voice boomed, rattling the walls, feeling betrayed.
"Why did The Majesty break our deal?" Woo Hee's voice is overcome with regret, her pretty face looks grim, she has agreed with someone who can not keep the promise.
"The Majesty gave the order that people who do not pay taxes have to do hard labour. The poor Hubaekje people are forced to do development work, they suffer ", Woo Hee's tears almost melted. "What's the use of me remaining a spy for The Majesty?" Woo Hee thinks The Majesty will realize her mistake and give relief to the suffering people of Hubaekje. The girl almost jumped, when she saw The Majesty laughing. A king does not even know to pay the merits of the people who agree. "Do you want to stop being a spy?" The voice was cynical.
"True, there's no point going on if there's nothing to it", Woo Hee's tongue is bitter, she has become an accomplice of the wrong man.
"Princess Woo Hee discontinue this dispute, and I'll pass it on to Baek Ah that Woo Hee has been King of the Dogs", The  Majesty eyes staring deeply, he knows the thing that is most hidden in Woo Hee. Soo, the atmosphere becomes quiet.
                                                                             ***
The atmosphere on the shores of the lake always gives a sense of comfort, because the water's clear surface bounces as well as the petals of flowers and green blossom leaves are lush. Prince Wang So looks pensive, happy memories with Hae Soo was not easily forgotten, he was not able to kill her. For a moment the handsome face grinned. Resurfaced again the voice of the lady's head, "Does the prince still hate me?”
Is he really capable of hating her? The prince asked himself without finding an answer. Prince Wang So took a deep breath then turned around. He stood, Hae Soo standing right behind him. They stared at each other wordlessly. At the same time The Royal Majesty along with Prince Wang Won arrived at a pavilion near the lake. Both Prince So and Hae Soo were unaware of The Majesty's presence with the guards.
"Is it true that The Majesty still trust So, despite having stated allegiance as an ally? Is it true that The Majesty really believes that the two people have no feelings between each other?" Prince Wang Won asked.
"I have made sure So and Hae Soo never sent each other letters during their separation", answered The Majesty  realized the truth of Prince Won's words, he immediately grabbed an arrow, stretched the arc, aimed it at Hae Soo's body with one fatal result . The lady's chief will die. Prince Wang So immediately smells the alarm, swiftly he pulls Hae Soo, avoiding the arrows. Hae Soo still finds life, but the arrow succeeds in wounding Prince Wang So's arms until the prince collapsed. Blood dripped. Hae Soo was stunned, she never thought The Majesty was expecting her death at the end of an arrow that was deliberately stretched. The lady's face was pale as she saw Prince Wang So's bloody arm, she tried to grab the arm, but Prince Wang So rebuffed her. When The Royal Highness and Prince Wang Won came over to them, Prince Wang So hurriedly rose to his feet.
"I'm training, is it the wound?" The Majesty King pretended to be anxious.
"Looks like your relationship is still okay?" Prince Won said, he always wondered. Why does Wang So have to fall in love with a lady?
"No, we do not have long. However, it is not a matter of praise for a  king ti killing  court lady just for practice", Prince Wang So never thought a king even dared to aim an arrow to a lady for no reason, without worrying about the consequences.
King Wang Yo did not respond to Prince Wang So. The 4th prince quickly rescues Hae Soo from the dead, giving up his bloody arm. Is not the relationship both still okay? Not long afterwards The Majesty went away without further discussion. As for Prince Wang So doing the same thing,  leaving Hae Soo alone - also without any conversation.
Hae Soo picks up the dart embedded in a tree trunk, then summons Woo Hee, whispering, "Anything I have to tell the Prince Baek Ah ", Woo Hee knows the meaning of the whisper.
The next day Prince Baek Ah said, "So will depart back to Seokyeong, but the wound on his arm is enlarged, he should seek treatment and rest. I've told everyone to go, you can visit him". Hae Soo nodded, knowing what to do. As she stepped slowly toward the room's alcove, Prince Wang So  lay with a gaping wound on the arm. Cold sweat flooded, he looked in pain. Hae Soo puts a potion on the gaping wound, a moment later Prince Wang So opens his eyes, his eyes blurry. He was not even fully aware of what was happening to him. Thousands of stars as if run then collapsed crashing each other causing panic, one percussion then the limp body was drooping out.
Hae Soo's blood is absorbed, Prince Wang So is not only injured in the arm, but there are scars on other parts of the body as well. The lady's head sighed, the life of a prince was not as beautiful as the shadow of most people. The scars and the gaping wound on the arm were the proof. The lady's chief completed the treatment effort, so the wound on the prince's arm was not fatal. So the prince slept soundly, forgetting all the pain. When woke Prince Wang So felt pain in the wound in the arm began to decrease. It's hard to describe a variety of feelings when he finds Hae Soo sleeping exhausted in a corner of the room. Slowly the 4th Prince rises closer to Hae Soo. Can he hate the lady? Prince Wang So reaches out to stroke Hae Soo's face, at the same time Hae Soo wakes up. Awkwardly Prince Wang So pulls back his hand.
"Why is it here?"
"There is something I should ask the prince, I ask Baek Ah for help this meeting".
"Ask, then go after this".
"Really the prince forget me? If the prince does not like me anymore, is not that a lie?"
"Go away".
"We are not in the palace, the king is not watching. I risked my life sneaking out of the palace for this question. For two years I waited every day. I want to go back to that moment, always hope and hope again. I have to tell you that I trust you ... "Hae Soo still wants to ask a few questions before asking again, even the 4th Prince asked back.
"Do you still love me?"
Prince Wang So questioned unexpectedly. For a moment the prince hesitated, before finally turning around, kissing Hae Soo. Hae Soo's tears dripped like a drizzle, momentarily gazing silently. The soft hand of the 4th Prince wipes Hae Soo's tears, he has deceived his self when he says no love this lady. Hae Soo's questions are answered already, the hearts of the two reunite in a kiss and tightly closed. Hae Soo's face looks peaceful like the water surface of the lake when lying on the side of Prince Wang So with eyes closed. Shortly after awakening Hae Soo knew his waiting was not in vain, she was not wrong to wait and keep waiting. So both spent the night playing with shadows. The next morning, So difficulty using chopsticks, Hae Soo must feed him. Time seemed to tick peacefully, this long separation ended. Then the evening fell down, the two sat back against each other, staring up at the sky glittering by the stars.
"Do you know the constellation Pegasus? Look ... " Hae Soo's index finger pointed to somewhere in the high sky. Both still want to drift in togetherness in a star full night after farewell and long distances. However, suddenly Ji Mong rushed in, his face anxious, "The king's health is getting worse. Originally a messenger from Jurchen came to perform the ritual. So he chose a day full of lightning with the intent to scare the king. Apparently the messenger was struck by real lightning, died right in front of the king. According to the court physician, the king was so shocked that he fell unconscious. Indeed The Majesty never occupied the throne peacefully, every night he woke up, seeing the ghost of Prince Wang Eun roaming around the niche room. The fear of The Majesty King Wang Yo is increasingly becoming when the ghost of King Taejo and King Hyejong is present also with a careful look upon his deeds over the years. This time The Majesty was unable to face the sudden death of an enemy who was struck by lightning. The fragile body was overturned.
Prince Wang Wook found King Wang Yo lying on the floor. His knees shivered, "Call the healer of the palace!" The voice was like a scream for the king's bodyguards.
"Prepare the horse!" The 8th prince must meet Wang Sik Ryeom in Seokyeong.
While Ji Mong's voice seemed to be a long-whispered whisper when speaking in Prince Wang So's ear, "The time has come, Wook and Jung are away, while General Park and Kang's family in Shinju are preparing to take control of all the royal army and the ruling family. It's time to make a decision “,  Choi Ji Mong has seen far ahead, he seems to have read destiny, who is the next King Goryeo.
"Does the prince really want to be king?" Hae Soo asked.
"That's right ..." Prince Wang So's gaze wandered away, he had learned enough to be a supporter of the king with unfavourable results. Is it wrong for a prince to dream of being a king?
"For that reason the prince left me?"
"I left, because the king used you to get me, and the king will continue to use me to harass you". "What if I ask the prince to surrender to the king?" Hae Soo asked.
 "I will continue to convince you until you say that what I do is not wrong".
 "The prince once told me there is no need to be king, which is important we can always be together. Why do not we hear that again?"
"We promised not to lie to each other, I started all this to end the bloodshed in the palace environment. When building a new castle in Seokyong, I realized that the world could change if the king changed. Controlled by anyone, can stop all sorts of things that make no sense, to be king ... is the thing I want most ".
