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






Prince Wang So and Prince Wang Wook still gripped each other's collar, both burned with anger. It is not easy for Prince Wang Wook to accept Prince Wang So's statement that Hae Soo is no longer his concern. Not long after Prince Wang So was stunned, under the clothes of a prince, Wang Wook also wore a suit of armor - he was ready for war.
While Prince Baek Ah sees a change in Woo Hee's gaze-as if two hot spots of fire are on fire. When Woo Hee runs she directs her sword towards The Majesty King. At the same time The Majesty  King intends to rise, but he becomes very weak, The Majesty King no longer see the agile movements of a beautiful dancer, who appear in front of the eyes are thousands of fireflies, Sanggung Oh sad face then everything becomes dark, the sky seemed to collapse. The Majesty's body fell, unconscious. Prince Baek Ah stood unmoved in front of Woo Hee, he began to feel the pain and blood red pouring.
Woo Hee's eyes wide open, she has no intention of hurting Baeh Ah, she wants to take revenge on The Royal Highness. However, King Taejo has fallen unconscious before she is able to hurt him. Nobody paid attention to the two, all panicked, for The Majesty Robih suddenly. Woo Hee's hands tremble, she drops a sword. On the first occasion Prince Baek Ah kicked the sword away, "Go away, save your life ..." Prince Baek Ah's voice hoarse, he is struggling against the pain.
Woo Hee initially doubts, she was late to realize everything that runs quickly, she could not bear to leave Prince Baek Ah, but the prince's hand pushed her. Woo hee finally leaves Baek Ah who is struggling to endure his pain. Not far from Prince Baek Ah stunned against the wound, Choi Ji Mong stared up at the sky, the sunny weather did not block the star's appearance, but the master knew that The Majesty's King was dimming as if the pale light of the lantern was almost extinguished.
Prince Wang Yo and Prince Wang Won panic at once, this chaos is beyond all plans. "Meet Wook right now!" Prince Wang Yo's voice was barely audible, he did not think the sword dance show did not end like everything had been planned.

                                                                              ***

In his chamber that seemed to be more and more cold The Majesty King came back to himself, he was too weak to sit and speak freely, the whole bone as if denying the order that he could return to act like a king. Life is short, The Majesty is not alone, Choi Ji Mong and General Park always accompany. "So is the end of my life, all in vain?" King Taejo's voice seemed to be sobbing from the deepest heart's deepest cry.

"All will come back as if The Majesty is willing to be healthy", General Park strives to encourage, he can see for himself how Great King Wang Geon is now like a bunch of bones that can not support the body. He is absolutely powerless.
A pair of majestic eyes The Majesty King stares up at the ceiling, he can still see the sad face of Sanggung Oh. The loss is too painful, he can not even forgive himself, The Majesty knows the time is almost here. "What have I done in this short and fast life?" The voice seemed to be self-directed.
"Your Majesty set up a kingdom", Choi Ji Mong responded quickly, knowing there was not much else to do.
"Kingdom? Will Goryeo last forever? Do I make the right decision by choosing Crown Prince Moo?" The Majesty now doubts everything he has ever done. This time Choi Ji Mong is silent, if he is able to tell a thousand years into the future after Great King Taejo Wang Geon builds Goryeo. The Majesty will never expect to see, after the long history of Wang's descendants, Goryeo will become Korea. One country in Asia is split into two south and north. South Korea with hard work and strong integrity will host the Olympics, have a tulip flower garden, produce Samsung, cars, and movies. Goryeo is the beginning of a great country.
"The Majesty has made the right decision, the Crown Prince will surely ascend the throne. Goryeo will become a great kingdom ", General Park again encouraged.
"I am happy to be friends with a man like you, guard and watch the Crown Prince and the 4th Prince", The Majesty's voice as if the wind is drooping, so weak. General Park could not stop the tears.
In a different place, not far from The Majesty King Taejo lying dying, Hae Soo is preparing tea. For a moment she was reminded of Prince Wang So's proposal, apparently this one prince did not give up. It's not like Prince Wang Wook who is cowardly, away, for fear of the king's punishment. Hae Soo almost drifted away, but eventually she chose to forget all the memories. As for Prince Wang Yo, Prince Wang Won, and Prince Wang Wook walk together to the Cheondeokjeon Palace.
 "The Crown Prince should not know, The Majesty's health is getting worse," Prince Wang Yo reminded.
"The Songak entrance is closed, we must be next to The Majesty  King at death to steal the last will and win" Prince Wook and  the three princes intend to keep on stepping, but arriving at the courtyard of the Cheondeokjeon Palace the move stalled. Dozens of soldiers sprang up blocking the third step of the prince.
General Park advances, "All princes should leave the king's palace, The Majesty will give his word later", the General did not hesitate with his words.
 "We must protect The Majesty so that the last will does not change", Prince Wang Yo refused. The three who want to change the last will of the King? General Park remained in no doubt about what he said.
"If the prince does not want to be suspected please leave this palace. Anyone who dares to step into Chendeokjeon without the permission of The Majesty, he will be killed as the perpetrator of the rebellion. Leave the palace on the first occasion".
When Prince Wang Yo was transfixed, when faced with a pair of sharp eyes General, he knew his steps were only here, he had no permission to accompany The Majesty King for any reason.When Prince Wang Yo stepped away, Prince Wang Yon and Prince Wang Wook performed the same, while Choi Ji Mong insisted on not allowing Queen Yoo and Queen Hwangbo steps into the palace to visit and confirm the situation of The Royal Majesty.
Even when Queen Yoo threatens, Choi Ji Mong immediately orders the soldiers to fence the door of The Majesty King's room, "You deliberately gain time until the Crown Prince comes", Queen Yoo staring at the star expert with fury and helplessness inside the room of The King, Hae Soo is brewing tea, at the same time The Royal Majesty awakens.
 "The aroma of this tea is as good as the smell made by Sanggung Oh", for a while King Taejo closed his eyes. A year since that terrible death, he was unable to resist the presence of Shadow Oh's shadow. Now he knows what love is, strength when it is always there. Loss is very deep when she goes away forever. The two queens and the other 27 concubines did not give any strength, and even became a threat at the end of the remaining day, they wished the throne for the prince who was born, not the Crown Prince. The Majesty King feels very weak, he knows his days will not be long. "Present to this chamber of the Crown Prince before it is too late", The Majesty asks for a fundamental thing that can not be conveyed to anyone. "When out of the palace, there will be many people who stop you. If anyone asks about the king's health, let him know that The Majesty asks for tea. If anyone asks if the king has died? stay cautious, who wants the throne. Do not trust anyone, Goryeo's fate is on your shoulders. Is the reason why should you be in this palace?" King Taejo's tongue tastes bitter, at the last moment, when the royal family should pray for his health, it turns out they want the opposite-his death.The empty throne, each queen and princes have a plan for filling the void. His life was in vain, no one cried over his death. Or, Sanggung Oh had been waiting in the wild there. Great King Taejo really felt powerless.
With limping Hae Soo stepped out, leaving the palace. She saw dozens of soldiers guarding the palace, General Park did not stand in. The atmosphere was very different from everyday when The Majesty King was still blessed with health, wholly still reigning ruling. It is awkward when the courtyard of Chendeokjeon Palace must be guarded by troops. Hae So rushes to leave Songak the middle of her path stalled, she was confronted by a group of bodyguards. Princess Yeon Hwa's  appeared shortly afterwards, Hae Soo know, Prince Wang Wook has acted. She had been suspicious when she saw the 8th Prince wearing a suit of armor at a gathering of friendships. Did Prince Wang Wook plan to kill The Majesty King last night? The girl wondered in uncertainty, she could not understand Prince Wang Wook's thoughts. Suddenly the Prince's voice called and then asked, "Why hurry up?"
"The Majest ask for tea, I have to go to Damiwon", Hae Soo replied briefly.
"Really So apply for a proposal? So far your relationship is both?" Prince Wang Wook can not conceal his jealousy, it turns out he has to compete with fellow prince to fight over a girl.
"I'm sorry, I have to carry out The Majesty's orders ", Hae Soo can not do nobody, she ever loved this prince. Are there any feelings left? It crossed Hae Soo's mind to preach to Prince Wang Wook about The Majesty's worsening health. However, the words were swallowed before they were spoken, for the 8th Prince suddenly asked, "Is the Royal Majesty gone?"
Hae Soo gasped, standing stiff, warning The Majesty King ringing in her ears," When out of the palace, there will be many people who stop you. If anyone asks about the king's health, let him know that The Majesty asks for tea. If anyone asks if the king has died? stay cautious, who wants the throne. Do not trust anyone, Goryeo's fate is on your shoulders. Is that why you should be in this palace?" Hae Soo looked away with deep disappointment, when my father waited for the last moment, the Prince did not even have to feel lost, he wanted His Majesty's death, for the reason of the emptiness of the throne." Does Hae Soo not have to answer, instead he asks.
                                                                           ***
Not far from where Hae Soo and Prince Wang Wook talked, Princess Yeon Hwa was in a row, "Last night's incident is not important, The Majesty King fainted, the question now is who will go to the next throne?" Princess Yeon Hwa does not even need to feel sad, because she will lose  father forever and she thinks more of her own luck, without the protection of a ruling king she is not who "In accordance with the will, the King's successor is Crown Prince Moo", replied Prince Wang So. "What about you? Do you want to be King?" Princess Yeon Hwa asks the Prince the same question as Hae Soo asked Prince Wang Wook.
" Do you think being King is something that can be obtained easily just because you want it?" Prince Wang So snorting, for the umpteenth time he feels disappointed to have to face a princess Yeon Hwa never feels he will ever lose a father forever, he attaches power to his glory of life-forgetting a great king is stretching for dying.
"You can be King with my help and the Hwangbo clan", Princess Yeon Hwa is convinced by her words, she will go through various ways to save her whole life.
"What can I do if I become King?" Prince Wang So needs to know what's behind all the great desires of the Princess Yeon Hwa.
"The whole world can be yours, you will have everything".
"If being a King, can I have a heart someone? If so, I will. I will be King".
In different places Prince Wang Wook seems to be on the verge of Hae Soo, it is true that he has "forgotten" this girl for a year, but in fact he has never been able to lose. As a very limited authority to reach Hae Soo in marriage, must admit he's a coward, and he's not always a coward, he finally knows that the only way to get Hae Soo-the only way to protect all those he loves is to occupy the highest place, to be a king.
"You ask me if I want to be King? I replied that I was going to be King, "said Prince Wang Wook's, an answer that made Hae Soo stunned, because she never knew why  Prince Wang Wook wanted all this to save his life.
                                                                     ***
Queen Yoo and Queen Hwangbo are finally allowed to enter the room of The Royal Majesty, both of them as if trapped into a very cold niches, a grave that spread the smell of death. Is her destiny as queen ends here when a great king is dead? With a pale face, he was too weak to know the two queens who came to assure his health, or his death.The figure that had never wiped out since the hanging was Sanggung Oh, the one who loves sincerely before he enters as The Royal Majesty, a man who never take advantage of his power.
"Oh Soo Yeon ... ", dim the eyes of Thw Majesty King as if staring at the shadow of Sanggung Oh flashing in all-white clothes. Her beautiful face awaits the decades-old honesty she has hidden under the robe of a king's greatness, she has set aside Sanggung Oh for the sake of the throne. Had come at the right time, always too late when he did not have all the time to make amends for a moment. The Majesty felt his breath choking, the air against even the blister, the whole room became dark-darker, the whole color finally turned black like ink puddles, unspeakable attacking all parts of the body, the more pain, soon the old body was drooping without breath, Great King Taejo Wang Geon has passed away.
Queen Yoo stood stiffly, clockwork seemed to stop beating, time froze. The Majesty King's death means she is no longer a queen, she will become queen mother when Prince Wang Yo succeeds in occupying the throne, but the Crown Prince is Prince Wang Mo. It means that she is eliminated, a bitter thing is to take off the robe of a queen's greatness. The Consort does not want to get caught in a nightmare like that. "The Majesty, you can not leave me like this, come back! You can not go like this! You can not keep me like this! Open your eyes! Come back!" Queen Yoo's raucous voice mixed with sobs, her destiny as a queen end with this death. Although The Majesty King considered her a greedy woman, but her ability to occupy the throne confirmed her as a queen.
                                                                        ***
While Prince Wang Wook has not realized the latest developments that have occurred since The Majesty fainted. He's still in tension with Hae Soo, "It's true I'm going to be a king to get you, only if I'm in power, then I'll be able to marry you. The plan has already begun, tomorrow I will attack Chendeokjeon with Yo ", Prince Wang Wook leaks the secret plan, he will get back Hae Soo in many ways, including attacking the palace.
Hae Soo stood up stunned, she thought Prince Wang Wook had forgotten her. She did not think the Prince would commit dangerous acts to get himself. "There is no need for the prince to attack the palace for a wish, for it will be considered treacherous", Hae Soo is again afraid, her fate is constantly dragged on the current swirl that drains blood.
"Crown Prince will not be able to return, princes will fight over empty throne. Do not convey this plan to anyone, look for a safe place and wait. And once again I have to ask whether the Royal Majesty is gone?" Hae Soo still stands stunned by all pronounciation of Prince Wang Wook, the wonder of the wind as it turns into a boulder, everything shocking and erect feathers. Why Hae Soo is just a girl dazed who could not answer the question of a prince.
"The Majesty asked for more tea", nothing more can be said Hae Soo, the girl limped, saying goodbye.
"At this time the Crown Prince is in Shahyeon, you will not be able to present to the palace alone ", Prince Wang Wook is intelligent enough to grasp the meaning of Hae Soo's words. The King's Majesty requested additional tea ', is a series of sentences that are not hard to decipher, unless a king is dying, but willing to cover up the real situation Hae Soo feels no need to respond to the words of Prince Wang Wook, as the Royal King requests, she must do something, make tea, and even then rushed away.
In the meantime Princess Yeon Hwa sniffs sarcastically at Prince Prince Wang's words. The 4th Prince wants to be King just to win someone's heart? "The King's Throne is not intended for petty little things."
"To me the throne is only to win a heart", Prince Wang So replied lightly.
 "Give me a way or I will think of you treason," Prince Wang So's cold attitude, he was never intrigued by the beautiful face of Princess Yeon Hwa.
"I was just doing my job of blocking anyone traveling out of the capital to prevent rebellion during The Majesty's illness. I can not let anyone go without knowing who he will bring back. Should he return to the former place", Princess Yeon Hwa insists on her attitude.
In another place, Prince Baek Ah has not understood what is going on around the palace, he meets Woo Hee. The beautiful dancer was annoyed, because Baek Ah ruined his plan. "I never thought you were disguised as a giaseng all this time just to kill The Majesty King. Why should you kill him? Is it, because of revenge?" Prince Baek Ah asked, he could not imagine if The Royal Majesty really collapsed in blood, because of a deadly sword stab. He will never meet Woo Hee right now and so on.
"Your father killed my family ... Everything is just me ...", slowly and slowly Woo Hee's voice, she can not extinguish the grudge, because it loses it. She is just a child who is alone.
"Is that why you have a scar on your wrist? Because my father? I'm sorry, I beg your pardon on his behalf", Prince Baek Ah pulls Woo Hee into his arms. Woo Hee's eyes tear, clear as dew, the beautiful girl trying to rebel from Prince Baek Ah's arms, but the prince grew closer to her.
"Once again forgive, I am the son of Woo Hee's family killer", Prince Baek Ah can feel how deep the loss is, he will redeem for everything.
                                                                                  ***
While the death of The Royal Majesty has yet to be revealed, still locked inside the walls of the Cheondeokjeon palace. The two queens were still held in the palace, unable to speak. Prince Wang Yo guessed, "The king must be gone, or at least dying," there is not a single bit of sadness in the voice. The death of the king's father means the emptiness of the throne, he has the opportunity to fill in the void like a mother's order.
 "No, The Royal Highness would have been healthier after drinking tea from Damiwon," Prince Wang Jung thought otherwise, he never wanted a throne, king.
 "How do you know that the King drank tea from Damiwon? Who is serving the tea? "Prince Wang Yo looked at Prince Jin Jung's face deeply, from where Jung heard the news?
"The king's appetite has returned after the tea that Hae Soo served".
" Find Hae Soo right now, stop her conveying the king's health to the Crown Prince ", Prince Wang Yo knows what to do soon, he has no intention of wasting time.
As for Hae Soo looking for the Crown Prince in the star tower, but Choi Ji Mong's workplace is silent, anyone in that place. Hae Soo runs in a different direction, in the middle of the road, he sees Prince Wang Won looking for her. Hae Soo quickly hides behind a pole, her heartbeat almost uncontrollable, she has to deal with fear. The fear culminated when suddenly there was a hand pulling it behind the wall. Hae Soo thinks she will soon face death, apparently Prince Wang So did it. Should he doubt the 4th Prince? "The Majesty  has passed away, before I leave, the King is already very weak, the worst is now gone. The last commandment of The Majesty  recalled the Crown Prince before everyone knew about his death ", Hae Soo tells the truth, she can not bear the burden alone.
Prince Wang So felt his face paled, his heart torn, he had lost his father, a king. The prince's eyes wandered far away at a place no one could ever visit. About the figure of a king, the 4th Prince has his own memories. "Tomorrow, Prince Wang Yo plans to attack Chendeokjeon Palac", Hae Soo relayed the losing news.
 "Where did you find out?" Prince Wang So felt his heart pounding louder as if the war horses are being driven in the middle of the field.
"It does not matter where I know", Hae Soo still feels important to protect Prince Wang Wook, he needs to deliver the news without mentioning the source.
"Crown Prince is now in Hubaekje , all roads are closed. To pick him up, have to find another way out. "
" Hubaekje? I know someone who might know the way to get there ", Hae Soo knows where to go.
                                                                           ***

Prince Baek Ah chases after Woo Hee  breaks away from his embrace. “No one recognizes you, stay with me, forget all the grudges ... " the conversation did not continue, because Hae Soo and Prince Wang So rushed in.
"We have to go to Hubaekje to pick up the Crown Prince, Woo Hee will help as a guide", Prince Wang So opens the conversation. Prince Baek Ah immediately protects Woo Hee behind his back, he worries about the safety of the dancer. Prince Wang So looks at Woo Hee and Hae Soo alternately, he doubts the sincerity of the girl.
 "Woo Hee is a friend, we can trusted ", Hae Soo responds to the doubts of Prince Wang So.
"It is true Hae Soo ", Prince Baek Ah gives support.
"One of the worst possible, The Majesty has died ", Prince W ang So hoarse, not easy to convey the news of sorrow, but it must. In his place stands stumbling Woo Hee almost fall, in shock. Without the need to wield the sword King Taejo would have passed away, because of old age. Is she still vengeful? Spry Prince Baek Ah caught her.
"Tomorrow Yo will attack Chendeokjeon Palace. Even though you cover, Soo, I know Wook is involved. Baek Ah go to the Crown Prince, I will stay here to stop the attack", Prince Wang So divides the task of securing the throne.
"There is a secret passage in and out of Songak, let ... " Woo Hee has recovered from surprise, she should help Prince Wang So . King Taejo's death gradually dispels the grudge.
                                                                          ***
Prince Wang Wook and Princess Yeon Hwa meet talk about The Majesty King's health, "There is no final word on The Majesty's health, surely the situation is getting worse. It is a good opportunity to attack Cheondeokjeon, pick up mom, announce that the King appoints Wook as his successor", Princess Yeon Hwa always has a plan on the narrow gap.
"You have no fear, changed the last will of the King?" Prince Wang Wook snorted, he was not able to understand the will of the sister is too hard, even greedy.
"It should not lose everything for thinking too long, slow to act ", Princess Yeon Hwa does not even have to feel the loss of her father, she must always be near the throne.
"I told you before, I do not want to be King with the title of traitor. No one will let me stab from behind, unless the throne is the real right", Prince Wang Wook knows, who has the right to the throne of the Crown Prince, if he has a gap that can be revealed without the name of a traitor, Yeon Hwa will not burn it constantly. Princess Yeon Hwa staring at Prince Wang Wook in confusion, she could not get into Wang Wook's true thoughts.Yesterday the 8th Prince wore armor as the court came in. The Princess thinks Wook is on the same side as Yo, Wook does not want to kill the Crown Prince Wook just think who is most profitable to attack first, Crown Prince or Third Prince? or So? Wook does not want to make any mistake in getting the throne.
"Looks like you really want the throne now, nice to see you", a thin smile expands on Princess Yeon Hwa's red lips, she will get a big part when Wang Wook is a king.
"What to worry about is now a traitor", deep in the heart of Prince Wang Wook feeling nervous, he never forget Hae Soo in a state of misery. The girl seemed to hide a secret, she was not too dumb to believe it.
                                                                      ***
 "The throne is a terrible chair, The Majesty must fight with your fellow brothers. When righteous to fight, the prince will not hurt them is not it?" Hae Soo continues the conversation with Prince Wang So, expressing concern.
" Are you worried about Wook? If you still think of him as a relative, why beg me? You can see it ourself later", replied Prince Wang So.
"The 8th Prince did all this for me, the prince felt helpless when I was expelled from the palace, that's why he wanted power ", Hae Soo must explain.
"I understand", Prince Wang Wook understood Prince Wang Wook's way of thinking.
"I am on the side of the Crown Prince on the King's command, with the consideration of living life as it is like running water, but I do not want to see the eighth prince wounded because it means the same with an incurable wound for the rest of my life ", Hae Soo does not have to lie to Prince Wang So.
"I understand, though can not guarantee anything, but will try. I also do not want Wook to be injured", Prince Wang So promised, then asked again, “Are you not worried about me? Can not I also get hurt?"
"Prince will always be in good condition, whatever will happen after this", Hae Soo has seen the future of Prince Wang So will be the King of Gwangjong After the throne, the 4th prince will not experience any problems. Vaguely, Hae Soo sees a thin smile on Prince Sho's handsome face.
                                                                                 ***
The atmosphere is frozen as if the ground the cemetery when Queen Hwangbo tried to spread the king's shroud to the King's body. Queen Yoo could not accept this death, "Leave us, do not approach The Majesty King", Queen Yoo half screamed in a husky voice, The Majesty passed away without changing the will, she had been exiled to a distant place, no longer a queen, both queens arguing, at the same time Prince Wang So came to pay his last respects. Queen Yoo looked increasingly , she did not want the arrival of Prince Wang So, he wanted Prince Wang Yo and Wang Jung. Where are the two beloved sons? Prince Wang So hardened, he acted as if Queen Yoo was never present, he approached the bed where the king's father's body began to cool and stiff, kneeling. His heart was crushed, because of a deep loss, after today he would never speak to The Majesty again. Everything is passing as fast as the wind.
"The last words of The Majesty King, is that life is short and fast", Choi Ji Mong's voice almost like a lament, he had to swallow the harsh reality, abandoned the most respected man.
Secretly Prince's body Wang So was trembling, the king's father looked as though an old man lying in deep sleep to regain tomorrow, ruling the empire. If The Majesty is not dead, just resting. The memory of the 4th Prince flew into the past two years. Choi Ji Mong, the star expert who became The Majesty's trust came to Shinju to give his mask. Every year His Royal Majesty gives a new mask. When trying a new mask, the 4th Prince sees The Majesty King staring at him from a distance. Even without words, the gaze and the mask evoke a sense of joy. He is not completely left out in Shinju with Kang's concubine. Prince Wang So's eyes turn as if broken glass when rising and then cover the body of The Majesty[S1]  with s shroud. He could not stop the tears when he ordered Choi Ji Mong, "With General Park, make sure how many soldiers and weapons we have in Chendeokjeon. Tomorrow morning Yo and Wook will start a rebellion. The King's Will is to give the throne to the Crown Prince Moo, we must secure the will ".
The two queens almost jumped to hear Prince Wang So's words, as if struck by lightning by day, "I do not believe your accusations against Wook!" Queen Hwangbo feels the iron plate hit right in her head, she knows the punishment for a traitor.
"Wook is involved in the insurgency plan tomorrow", Prince Wang So did not hesitate.
"Tomorrow Yo will come just to pick me up", Queen Yoo immediately grasp the neck of Prince Wang So.
"When touching Yo I will kill you with my own hands!" This time Queen Yo is really furious, her fate is on the end of the horn. Wang So's words were like a tornado preparing to overthrow her. And the Queen never wanted to tumble.
"The Queen's mother still hopes to live after treason? Is not that too greedy?" Prince Wang So's voice as if the snake hissed, confidently he let go of the hand of Queen Yoo. A young lord has no right to apply that to a prince who has been born.
 "Yo my beloved son will never do treason", Queen Yoo screamed fiercely, she knew the punishment for a traitor.
"The Majesty Queen is better silent, the children are in danger . One thing we have to do is save them", Queen Hwangbo looks more calm, she is not as greedy as Queen Yoo. She was more concerned about Wang Wook's safety.
                                                                      ***
On the way to see the Crown Prince, Woo Hee sees Prince Baek Ah looking in pain at the stab wound. "Better we rest," both of them sit down, lighting a bonfire.
 "I'm sorry I did not mean to hide my identity as a prince." Prince Baek Ah feels the need to apologize.
 "I also apologize, disguised as a dancer of the sword", Woo Hee admits the same mistake.
 "What will happen to this life if I am just a casual musician and you are a gisaeng. Will our relationship be different if that is the case?" Prince Baek Ah asked.
"Rest, tomorrow we will reach Hubaekje, my hometown. Then we will split up, there will be no reason to meet ", the answer that causes Baek Ah's head is heavy, he can not afford to lose this girl what ever happened.
"If we will never meet again, tonight can I do whatever I want?" without waiting for an answer, Prince Baek Ah approaches to kiss softly on Woo Hee's cheek, in front of both the fire continues to burn, his hot tongue licking the dark night.
                                                                   ***
 The next day, Prince Wang Yo and Prince Wook bring hundreds of soldiers to the Cheondeokjeon Palace, the atmosphere around the palace seemed deserted, as if a king had never settled in this place. "Half the troops must have gone with the Crown Prince, even if they were on their way home, they would be too late", Prince Wang Wook whispered.
"If Prince 4 trying to stop us, kill", Prince Wang Wook was ready to wear a suit of armor.
"I was already planning to kill So", Prince Wang Yo agreed whispered Prince Wang Wook, So is a thorn in the flesh. The two princes then walk through the palace gates, behind the gates of Prince Wang So and General Park have been waiting. From the distance Prince Wang Wook saw Hae Soo's figure, the Prince hesitated, a moment later the doubt vanished. Her appearance was always thrilling, she was ready to fight to die to get it.
 "You both have rebelled!" Joked General Park's voice, he did not expect a moment to face the princes in such circumstances.
"We are to pick up two queen mothers who has been detained for several days in this palace. Let go of the queen mother, or I will assume you are both trying to seize the throne!" Prince Wang Yo's voice is no less loud while drawing a sword. However, Prince Wang Wook first stepped on Prince Wang So, both equally strong, attacking and defending . Soon after the fight was halted, arrows darted rapidly from the palace roof to attack the troops of Prince Wang Yo and Wang Wook. The longer the more imperial troops arrive. Prince Wang So has prepared to attack Prince Wook again, but suddenly the Crown Prince comes with Prince Baek Ah.
"Go back inside!" Orders Prince Wang Yo to Prince Wang Wook. However, Prince Wang Yo is stunned, Wang Wook does not follow his orders, he even directs the sword right at his neck. “Have you betrayed?"
"I never betrayed anyone, from the beginning we were never on the same side", views of the Prince  Wang Wook is as cold as ice packs in winter, he never wanted to betray him, he just wanted to get married with a beloved girl.
“If I had heard of Yo's plan from Wook, I trusted the 8th Prince", the Crown Prince is too good to know the hearts of the people behind his handsome looks. Can he understand the mind of the 8th Prince? Prince Wang So heard this conversation, he fell silent, his smile sour. Is it true that the Crown Prince should trust Wang Wook? With bitter end Prince Wang Yo surrendered, but is it true that his life story only got here?
At the same time Choi Ji Mong finally appeared with an official announcement, "The Majesty King has passed away with the last will to designate Crown Prince Moo as the heir to the throne".
This announcement caused the Crown Prince to tumble in grief and loss, he was in a hurry to step into in the palace to confirm the circumstances of The Majesty King. However, Prince Wang Wook suddenly kneeled before him, saying, "Greetings to the New King, The Majesty, King Life, King Life! King Life!"
Prince Wang So did the same, kneeling salute, then all the soldiers present kneeling before the new king, cheering "King Life! King Life! King Life!" on the other side the Crown Prince is silent, everything passes quickly as if it were a dream. Time is always racing, he loses all the glory without ever asking. However, because The Majesty gave it up.
Then all the attention was drawn to one point, it was when suddenly Queen Yoo staggered to appear with an almost unrecognizable appearance. In the night his whole hair had turned white, it broke loose like a dreadful ghost. The Queen thinks her whole life is over, especially when she has to see her beloved son, Prince Wang Yo arrested on treason charges. The whole body of Queen Yoo feels limp as if lost all the bones.
Some time later, Prince Wang Wook, Wang Won, Wang Jung, and Princess Yeon Hwa see the body of the king's father. Prince Wang Jung looked most devastated, his sweet face looked pale. The Noble King passed away while the princes fight to seize the throne, did not feel respect with his last will. While Princess Yeon Hwa stares at the cold lying body, in her heart swears at my late father, 'I will always control this kingdom'.
While Prince Wang Eun insists on attending the King's funeral, Park Soon Duk insists on blocking it. "Say you are seriously ill, even in good health. Better not to attend the funeral, nor attend the coronation of the King. Only then will you live", Park Soon Duk tried to dress her armor to protect Prince Wang Eun, but Prince Wang Eun refused.
"I do not understand your worries at all, "Prince Wang Eun was even surprised by Park Soon Duk's attitude.
"The first thing any new king does is to kill his siblings who have the potential to threaten the throne," Park Soon Duk explained. Prince Wang Eun choked on the answer, whether his salvation was at stake, he never even dreamed of sitting on the throne. Once again Park Soon Duk tried to wear armor for Prince Wang Eun, but the Prince remained adamant.
"I do not need to wear a wife's armor just to save my own life," a series of words that caused Park Soon Duk to feel happy.
"Should we die together?" Park Soon Duk asked.
"Why should I die with you?" Prince Wang Eun's voice curtly, this time the word sequence causes Park Soon Duk to be wasted.
"Why should we die, we should live together Dead and alive who knows, I'd rather we do not die together We're married. We should not die alone", in an instant the feelings of Park Soon Duk wasted turn into happy and happy. He threw away his armor clothing and embraced Prince Wang Eun tightly. The Prince did not reject him at all.

 Hae Soo looks at Prince Wang Wook with a hard-to-see gaze, not easy to cope with disappointment, "Apparently the Prince is on the side of the Crown Prince. Is Hae Soo not even believing Prince Wang Wook to act like that.
"It turns out that you keep seeing So", Prince Wang Wook sank in the same disappointment, why should any other prince present in Hae Soo's life?
"Is there a Prince planning to kill So?" Hae Soo's heartbeat raced like a waterfall.
"You think I lie when I say, if I want to be king? What's wrong with killing someone who could be a deterrent? " Prince Wang Wook's voice flatness, as if killing a daddy's brother is not a wrong thing.
"You've changed, not a prince I know," Hae Soo felt his throat dry, choked. Prince Wang Wook must have known how he had fallen into misery, because of the death of Sanggung Oh who sacrificed himself for his salvation. Now, Prince Wang Wook has the heart to use it to kill the 4th Prince. What is the real desire of the 8th Prince?
"You are not honest with me, I hope you will tell, the King has died”, Prince Wang Wook had to swallow the bitter truth, the only girl he loved did not get him at the most critical moment. At the time he needed his honesty.
“The Majesty King asked me to help the Crown Prince become the next king I can not oppose The Majesty, The 4th prince has promised not to hurt or kill you", Hae Soo must give a strong reason.
“You ask to So for my salvation? "Prince Wang Wook is increasingly disappointed, it turns out that Hae Soo hid a lot of very important and fundamental things. Where exactly is this girl taking sides? "Remember what did the Prince say? We can go from Songak and live happily. We can do it now, if the Prince begs the new King, The Majesty will grant ", slowly Hae Soo walks closer, she very much hopes Wang Wook will say " yes ".
In a moment of hope it ran aground, Prince Wang Wook had indeed changed, there were many unknown things that changed him. "If we leave Songak now, get permission from The Royal Highness to marry, then a new problem will arise. There is no other way but to get the throne", Prince Wang Wook finally realized, how important the meaning of power, he will be able to embrace the entire world. The opinions of Queen Hwangbo's mother and Princess Yeon Hwa are true. Not only can he marry the only girl he loves, he will be able to protect the entire clan of Hwangbo.
Again Hae Soo is hit by disappointment, happy memories and hopes to live together with Prince Wang Wook has long been smashed. Now the pieces are getting shattered. Hae Soo steps back to back, her tongue feels bitter, she has lost Wang Wook. "You say you are going to be king, for I am all the excuses for a cause which I never know ... You are turning all hope, never mind The distance between us now really exists ..." Hae Soo holds back tears.
"Is it because Prince 4th?" Prince Wang Wook is burned jealously, he never knows Hae Soo only loves Prince Wang So, never loves.The 8th prince is only able to see everything that looks, he is unable to understand Hae Soo's heart.
"Apparently the 8th Prince never trusted me, never even believed in my feelings? Why should he?" Hae Soo swallows an ever-dwindling hope, Prince Wang Wook has indeed changed, he is caught in an incomprehensible desire and obligation.
"I will certainly make you come back to me ", Prince Wook still has that hope with a a way that Hae Soo can not easily understand.
"One thing that will turn to be difficult", Hae Soo stumbles, her head bows down, she has to throw away hope to live with his beloved prince, as if the dried leaves of the branches are abandoned the wind of the season. Prince Wang Wook stares at the distant figure, not the least of his feelings with Hae Soo changing.He still wants to have the girl in a way, a futile effort that will end in a farewell.As soon as the 8th Prince stepped in the opposite direction His eyes were as sharp as a sword, he knew there was no other way to get everything, except the only one, he was determined.
                                                                        ***
While Prince Wang Yo flee and then hunted by the palace soldiers. Prince Wang So and Prince Wang Wook participated in the pursuit until they successfully cornered him on the brink. There is no other choice, Prince Wang Yo tries to fight the soldiers. Prince Wang Wook prepares to shoot an arrow, but Prince Wang So holds his hand. "Prince is a prince, open wildlife".
Prince Wang Yo continues to fight, sword swing, slashing one by one of the royal soldiers who attack. Prince Wang Jung comes soon after, "Let me talk to Yo", Prince Yang Jung's sweet face.
"Prince, you are not an opponent, you will not be able to fight against your own brother", Prince Wang So gave a warning then prepared to face Prince Wang Yo.
"Yo surrender", Prince 4 asked, he did not want bloodshed among families.
 "No!" Prince Wang Yo refused, his face turned red. Prince Wang So had no choice but to draw a sword, Prince Wang Yo, taking bold action, pierced the chivalrous prince's chest and pushed him to the crucial spot. The wound on Prince Wang Yo's chest was not very deep, he again tried to fight. Unable to be arrested once again Prince Wang So freed his sword, Prince Wang Yo was stunned with a gaping wound. Prince Wang So was no less shocked, he could not believe his own actions. The balance of Prince Wang Yo's body shook, the prince looked bewildered with a pale face. One inch behind the gap, Prince Wang So reaches out, he does not want Wang Yo's death, he just wants the prince to surrender. But too late, after the blood was pouring from the gaping wound, Prince Wang Yo's body collapsed as if he had been sucked from the bottom of the earth, bounced into the mouth of a cliff with a shriek of pain.
As the moment of silence even the wind was silenced, Prince Wang Jung looked at Prince Wang So in anger and disappointment the deep. His face changed between pale and red-coals, it was not easy to accept the fact that Prince Wang Yo ended his life in horror. Prince Wang Jung's eyes turned as if the flames were staring at Prince Wang So, why should you kill each other? Prince Wang Jung felt his whole body tremble, he must witness this awful tragedy. Why? Prince Wang Jung stumbled when he returned to the palace, his voice as though sobbing while preaching to Queen Yoo's mother, "So stabbed Yo to fall to the bottom of the cliff. Yo is dead ... "Prince Wang Jung's chest feels cramped as if a rock presses silently unforgivingly.
"What ?! No! Wang Yo did not die at the bottom of the cliff! Why did So do it ?!" Queen Yoo screamed loudly, she refused to believe the news, it is impossible Yo die at the bottom of the cliff. Queen Yoo feels the embers in the chaff that is burning in the heart of the heart is now burning, she knows the meaning of vengeance to the masked prince. She will never forgive Wang So.When Prince Wang So suffered a painless blow, he did not want to hurt, especially urged Prince Wang Yo to fall to the bottom of the cliff. Has Yo died? Will Queen Yoo's mother be forgiving? The whole head seemed to be stormy.
The 4th Prince needs silence, alone. He must be prepared for the worst. Hae Soo finds the Prince dreamily on the shores of the lake, his lethargic figure depicting remorse and deep sadness. The handsome face was as dark as it was, too dark, so the breeze of the wind was enough to break it into a rhinoceros. "What's going on?" Hae Soo's voice is soft, she needs to worry.
"You'll never forgive the mistake, just understand it", for a moment, the wind seemed reluctant to blow. Hae Soo can feel the anxiety. "I stabbed Yo, he fell to the bottom of the abyss ..." then the dark darkness of his gentle face finally turned to rain, not only feeling lost but also frightened at the anger of the queen mother, he would never apologize, for Queen Yoo's mother will never forgive him.He is really a wasted prince.
Hae Soo paused as if sucked too deep into the sadness of a prince, she tried to understand the mistake by patted the shoulder of Prince Wang So.But, tears of Prince Wang So continue to pour out as if heavy rains after a very long drought It turns out that a Goryeo prince who was nicknamed a wolf dog can also cry.He Soo has no other choice, she embraces Prince Wang So into a hug, letting the 4th Prince lament his grief.
