While in the
beautiful room of a king's lover, Hae Soo still stood transfixed, the wind as
if hit her with a stone. One figure she always wants to avoid is Princess Yeon
Hwa, she knows the evil intentions that hide behind a mask called the beautiful
face. Now the beautiful princess will be the one who is closest to The Majesty
- a queen. The enemy inside the blanket seems to be getting closer without
distance, the easier it is for Princess Yeon Hwa to injure her twisted life.
"If The Majesty
rejects this marriage, he will be forced to abdicate. There is no one who
supports, without the support of many parties a king has no power whatsoever.
Oh yes, and a king can not marry a woman who has a scar on her body. Is it true
that with the wound you once deliberately scratched in your hand, are you still
dreaming about the wedding day with The Royal Highness?" The smile on the
beautiful face of Princess Yeon Hwa triumphant. She does not need to get a
king's love to become a queen, because she has a big family. She has succeeded
in blocking a lost woman's memory to accompany King Gwangjong on the throne.
"I Hwangbo from Hwangju, the daughter of the late King Taejo, has a large
family to support The Majesty occupying the throne. And remember, you have
nobody", without waiting for the answer of Princess Yeon Hwa to walk away.
Her footprints are light, she will be ahead of the happy day, the wedding day
as well as the coronation as Queen Goryeo.
***
On the throne of The
Majesty's face is still as hard as a stone, unable to deny the truthfulness of
Prince Wook's words. Hae Soo has indeed deliberately injured the wrist to
refuse marriage with the late King Taejo. After Queen Hwangbo's mother and
Prince Wang Jung considers her stealing the throne. Now the 8th Prince declares
a disrespectful attitude, refuses marriage with Hae Soo, offers a marriage with
Princess Yeon Hwa. A king even loses the right to marry a beloved woman, must
accept another bride who has a large clan to support the throne. Deep inside The
Majesty complained. He was trapped in a
room he built himself.
Night falls, as if
inking, King Gwangjong and Hae Soo enjoy dinner in silence. There are so many
things to talk about, but their mouths just chew, not talk. King Wang So knew,
he had to sacrifice for the throne he had worn, how could he convey his
marriage with Princess Yeon Hwa?
The next day a
minister met The Royal Highness King with bad news, "Yoo's family wants
independence, the ministers ask for military control and tax collection
rights".
"The transfer
of the capital to Seokyeong was stopped, a strong family in the area just
objected", replied Prince Baek Ah.
"Chungju Yoo
and Hwangju Hwangbo blame the King's Majesty. This fight will not ease
immediately", said the minister.
"What exactly
is to be conveyed? No need to be convoluted", The Royal Majesty cut.
"I must convey,
The Majesty better marry Princess Yeon Hwa, thus all the problems are
over".
"A king has the
right to decide with which bride to marry," King Wang So's eyes began to
glint.
"A king should
not marry a Damiwon lady who does not have a big family to support the
throne", the minister advised.
"I hope a
minister can keep every word!" Prince Baek Ah's voice rose, then the
minister's mouth fell silent.
***
On the next occasion
Queen Hwangbo meets The Majesty, "Either Chungju Yoo or another powerful
family, there are those who will try to divide this nation. Will The Majesty let Goryeo be destroyed during this reign?" The queen asked.
family, there are those who will try to divide this nation. Will The Majesty let Goryeo be destroyed during this reign?" The queen asked.
"The Queen's
mother is excessive", The Royal Highness replied.
"King Taejo's
father is working too hard to build this country. Many things are sacrificed, The
Majesty doing a lot to protect him is the only reason that worries me. So I
drove my son and offered my daughter ", Queen Hwangbo hands over Hae Soo's
book written in hangul.
"She wrote words
that no one knew. Everything that is done at Damiwon shows Soo a strange girl
with no background. Soo has many weaknesses ", Queen Hwangbo expressed her
attitude towards Hae Soo.
"I do not care
about anything like that. What's so great about this chair?" The
Majesty asked.
"I must die to
leave it," Queen Hwangbo replied.
***
Hae Soo meets Chae
Ryung with good news, "The Majesty agrees you stay at Damiwon".
"Ups, it's
great ... But is it true that Princess Yeon Hwa will be the queen? It should be
agasy, even before there is a decision from The Royal Highness, the princess
has sent the Damiwon ladies to prepare for the royal wedding. Is not all this
just a misunderstanding?" Chae Ryung asked.
Silence.
Hae Soo could not
answer, she did get the love of a king. Now she is a sweetheart with a
beautiful and comfortable private room. However, no single big family can
support her as a queen. When compared to Princess Yeon Hwa, she is nothing,
it's nothing. While Choi Ji Mong feels having to meet Hae Soo, he has to
deliver something, and "This place used to be full of life, the 10th
Prince loves this flying wing, The Third Prince and the 8th Prince enjoy
reading the book there. And the star image? The 14th Prince loved it. The 9th
Prince always asks me about alchemy. Baek Ah is always busy drawing. All that
goes in the blink of an eye", Ji
Mong's words resemble remorse. Before the princes' fight for the throne, the
atmosphere in this place is always warm, now everything changes in an instant,
as cold as a stone grave.
"I know that
you care very much for the princes," Hae Soo responded with one question,
for what this star expert needs to say.
"True, for that
reason, it is better for me to express my opinion. Do you still want to marry The
King? Can not you afford to let go?" A question that is not easy to
convey, but must.
"Many things
we've been through together for a long time. If you had to give up, it must be
from the beginning, not now, after a long wait. I will survive ", Hae
Soo's tongue was bitter, could she lose The Majesty after the high hopes and
the steep road that pass.
"Have not you
seen it all, Moo died floating in the pond, Eun killed, Yo died, because of his
own fear?"
"You
mean?"
"A king must be
supported by a queen who has strength, big family and courage. The Majesty
always feels comfortable with you. But are you an ally who can strengthen his
position on the throne? Do you still want to be a royal bride?" Choi Ji
Mong's face intently as he stares at Hae Soo. In Hae Soo's heart justifies Choi
Ji Mong's words, the truth is often painful, but it's true he's just a thing.
Love The Majesty can not afford to take
her as a queen. She dreams of a position that is not his right, is the right of
a princess of a big clan who will become an ally of kings. Princess Yeon Hwa's
Rights - Though King Gwangjong will not give a single bit of love. Yeo Hwa does
not need love, she wants a throne.
Hae Soo's tongue
tasted bitter, her chest as if crushed by boulders, the whole world seemed to
laugh. Choi Ji Mong was the first person to giggle to a loss of sound. The star
expert gave wise advice, not easy to live inside the walls of the dispute. Hae
Soo no longer responded, she felt the air as if surrounded by fog, getting
colder, biting the bone. Can she lose The King after the long story? Can she
face a day when King Gwangjong will stand without distance to Queen Yeon Hwa?
Hae Soo knows where to throw out the mess, she meets The Majesty on the throne,
the silence.
King Gwangjong sat alone, his face dark. Even after
occupying the throne, the difficulties and pressure never end, the heavier
the day becomes. He does not get support from all parties, he is alone with Hae
Soo sweet girl who has no clan as well as troops. King Gwangjong now knows,
what really is the silence. "Someone can make you come to this place
without permission?" The Majesty asked.
"Why should I
get The Majesty's permission?" Hae Soo turns back, the harder she has to
lose King Wang So.
"Almost
everyone out there afraid of the king, only you who do not", The
Majesty feels the same, both will be
separated by custom, the more powerful ally of the position of a queen.
"Tonight is the
night of ritual expulsion of spirits, can not we go to be happy", Hae Soo
wants to enjoy the last moments before the marriage takes place.
"I can not
leave the throne without bodyguard and lady", The Majesty doubts the
offer, Hae Soo's presence always gives a warm atmosphere.
"With this mask
we can leave the palace, no one knows The Majesty is a king", Hae Soo
shows a mask with a funny facial mimic.
"All right,
let's go," The King approved a clever idea that entertained tonight. The
night finally became more sparkling by the starlight when behind the mask the
lovers walk together holding hands in the market.
"I remember
coming back after the villain and Prince Wang So followed," Hae Soo again
recalls the tense moments when she had to risk his life for Prince Wang Jung.
Both still hold hands when Hae Soo leads The Majesty steps to the pile of
rocks, to say a prayer, "I stack the stone in this place for all your
hopes and wishes", Hae Soo opens the conversation.
"Do you also
accumulate this stone to get an application ?" King Wang So asked.
"Did not The
Majesty ever promise to come for a proposal?" Hae Soo asks.
"When I first
met you should run", The Majesty recalled the meeting.
"I already ran,
but the prince chased later catch", Hae Soo defends herself.
"At that time I
never knew why to chase you. Now I understand, it turns out I can not lose you,
we will live together. Marry me", The Highness expressed his deepest wish.
"What a wonderful
thing if the wedding could happen. However, get a lady married to King Goryeo?
Does Soo have a big family, clan or an allied force that can strengthen the
position of a king on the throne?" After star-studded, the night came back
covered in soot. Hae Soo's tongue feels bitter, hard to pronounce, but she has
to convey the reality.
"With whom have
you spoken for the last time?" The Majesty stunned, Hae Soo has realized
the real fact, though bitterly felt.
"I will not
give up, because a scar that you once scratched in your hand to deny marriage
to the king's father".
"Nor will I
surrender, I will always be by The Majesty. However, a queen will be trapped
into the rule of the kingdom, a complex system. Meeting with The Highness will
be difficult. One thing I'll always be okay ", Hae Soo stroked the cheek
of The King, she knew he would lose.
"If we can not
get married. You can not leave me, I will never let you go. You are mine, you
are my only queen", The Majesty grabbed Hae Soo into the shrine, he now
knows how terrifying the loss is and the time is drawing closer.
***
The great wedding
day for the royal bride finally arrived. The Majesty felt that his last day had
arrived, he had never dreamed of sitting in a marriage with a queen who had
never been loved. This marriage was not a happy day, but one day when King
Goryeo was not even able to write a living destiny, except for the support of a
big family as an ally-or indeed an enemy in the blanket. Should Princess Yeon
Hwa love him or pretend to love? Marriage with a king means the powerful
position of a queen. Without having to be loved by a king, even when The
Majesty never wanted her presence. "Congratulations for this
marriage", Prince Wang Wook reached out, he has successfully thwarted King
Gwangjong's marriage with Hae Soo, infiltrating Princess Yeon Hwa as a queen. She
can still get a gap to vent vengeance to His Royal Highness, she knows King
Gwangjong does not want this marriage. The Majesty looks at Prince Wang Wook with a
muffled anger, he knows the meaning of this marriage. The bridal attire that
was worn seemed crowded as if it was snatching her whole body. When deciding to
become a king, in fact, he has called the coming tragedy that has happened
today.
While in the room
Hae Soo knows the meaning of the word alone, it is true she has earned the
king's love. However, she will never qualify as the bride of the kingdom. She
is nothing like Princess Yeon Hwa who now ruled in the name of Queen Goryeo. She
was just a heartbreaking girl with words comforting a king without the public's
confession, "You are my only queen
..." The wedding dress as red as a rose in the palace gardens is now quite
She has lost. Hae Soo knows what it's like to fall into the abyss, abandoned
and set aside. Her destiny is a lover, not a queen. Can she please love The
Royal Highness? Unknowingly her sobs turned into sobs, tears dripping. Hae Soo
knows where to go, she heads to the last stacked stone place visited with The Royal
Highness to where she prays. The mood of silence struck, she was alone when the
royal wedding was held, she was not part of the deal. Hae Soo does not realize
Prince Wang Jung is in the same place,
approaching when he was praying solemnly. The Majesty did not want Prince Wang Jung's presence,
even though Princess Yeon Hwa invited him.
"Will you stay
with So after this marriage?" Prince Wang Jung knows the meaning of loss,
he can stare at how empty Hae Soo's gaze.
"Do not worry,
I'm not unhappy. The late King Taejo once ordered, do not look too far ahead.
Stay grateful for life today", Hae Soo reassures her, Prince Yang Jung's
presence makes her realize, she is not alone.
"Why do not you
come to me, we can live together in a peaceful place, far outside the walls of
the palace", Prince Wang Jung finally has the right time, to tell the
truth. He has never forgotten Hae Soo since the first encounter, when this girl
struggled between life and death to save himself from the pirates' bustle.
"I know you
will take me far into the battlefield and make me witness your heroism",
Hae Soo never suspected, Prince Wang Jung wanted togetherness. Unaware she was
stunned into the sweet face of Prince Wang Jung.
"If someday
your stance changes, say you want it. I will take you out of this place",
Prince Wang Jung earnestly by his words, he has swallowed bitter life in the
palace.
"Will you do
whatever I want if I say I want it?" Hae Soo asked again, all this time she
is blind or stupid unable to read the feelings of the people - the feelings of
Prince Wang Jung.
"Yes, I am
willing. You just have to say, I'm willing. Remember, I'm willing ",
Prince Wang Jung said he was not pretending, he was not lying. Hae Soo
momentarily stunned, it turns out she was not really alone when the royal
wedding took place. Prince Wang Jung together when she was knocked so far into
the territory without the edge. Unconsciously Hae Soo nodded, she understood
where to go when the palace walls increasingly boisterous thorns and thorns. So
Hae Soo looked down again, praying, she knew there was a Supreme Being in
charge of ordering everything. Prince Wang Jung is fascinated, he stands beside
Hae Soo, bowing his head to ask. The wind move softer ....
***
In the luxuriously
decorated bridal chamber studded with fragrant flowers, The Excellency King
Wang So powerlessly opens Yeon Hwa's headdress. Behind the hood of a very fine
fabric, there was a beautiful face wrapped in the royal wedding dress of
greatness. How charming the bride's face, but weird the King did not want to
kiss her. Beauty is just a perfect mask that hides the greedy intentions behind
it. Is it true that the princess wants this marriage, because she loves him?
King Wang So was never convinced of the purpose of this marriage, he sacrificed
all the destiny of life for the throne, married a princess without love,
leaving the only woman desired as a queen.
Now, where Hae Soo
was when he was alone in the bridal suite. When the hatred is so great, but he
is powerless to avoid this marriage. For a moment the king approached the
beautiful face of Queen Yeon Hwa seo was intent on kissing her, but the flames
in the chest niches were furious. He had no intention of touching that tender
skin, she was distancing herself. One thing that a queen never wanted before
the first night of marriage, she still hopes a point of possibility to start a
happy marriage of the kingdom. But when she looked, she saw the flames glow in
the eyes of The Royal Highness. The queen's expectation to bits, bitterly
realizes, this great marriage is only a play, not because The Royal Majesty
loves, but because he is afraid of losing the throne.
"There will be
many ways for Hae Soo, that lost memory lady is used against you in the future.
Better avoid the bad possibilities .... " the queen started the
conversation.
"The one thing
you want is to be the queen, through the royal wedding. You have achieved that
desire. The question is, do you think I want this marriage? Do you think I
should love you?" The Majesty's voice hissed like a venomous snake, he
regretted past a tragic marriage night with a greedy princess.
"Do not ever
cross the line!" King Wang So looked at the queen's face deeply as if to
swallow her whole life, turned away, walked away without a word, without ever
looking back.
In her place sat
Queen Yeon Hwa stunned, the bride's night a queen who waited for life as a
wonderfully thrilling moment, soon became a scattered ashes. The Majesty knew
his heart, in the first second King Wang So had destroyed all the delusion.
Behind the royal bride's magnificent dress, she was just a poor woman who could
seize the position of a queen, but failed to beg for love. She could feel the
resentment glowing in the eyes of The Royal Highness. Will that hatred be
quenched in the end? Queen Yeon Hwa staring at The Majesty's back in a daze, she
will never have the power to call the king back to the luxurious wedding room. Why
is there anyone who is never captivated by her position and beauty? The queen's
chest was tight, she had to see the days ahead with a dark stare. Is King Wang
So going to be nice? Or is it just a flower that is dumped at the same time as
the bloom develops? Lying forever on the floor of the beautiful wedding room?
It is difficult for Queen Yeon Hwa to realize, how deeply a life can not reach
all the things she wants. The royal bride still stumbled silently as the night
swooped darker, air trapped in eternal cold.
While Hae Soo was
still in front of a pile of stones, praying. Chae Ryung's shadow flashed over,
the lady's hand stretched out a piece of cloth, she knew Hae Soo had a weak
heart. "I remember Madame Hae once piled these stones at the House of the
8th Prince", Chae Ryung opened the conversation. "Yes, she built this
stone pile. I miss her ", Hae Soo replied, she thanked her, the lady
brought the piece of cloth she needed. Suddenly Chae Ryung kneels, bowing her
head.
"Who are you
praying for?" Hae Soo asked.
"I do not pray, I just think of the
mother who is gone", Chae Ryung sounds wistful, as well as saying as if
confronted with the mother.
"My condition
is always good, so is the situation of my sister. You've been sick, now it must
be healthy. I always want to make your life better. Always happy to see you in
good health. I always think about you yesterday, today, and later ", Chae
Ryung's voice is still sad as if she was speaking to a soul that resides in the
recesses of the heart.
Hae Soo is sitting
next to Chae Ryung. "I'm always healthy. Always in good health ....
", This time Hae Soo speaks as King Wang So is sitting in front of her.
The sound caused Chae Ryung's heart to be touched, her palms immediately
grasping Soo's hand, she knew the deepest sadness in the girl's heart.
From the measurable
distance, The Majesty stared at the two images of the girl kneeling in front of
the stone without being able to utter a word. For a while King Wang So was
stunned, bowing the coconut, then passed, still without a word. The whole day
seemed to turn black into the night. When Yeon Hwa becomes Queen Goryeo, it
becomes the enemy that hides behind the warm blanket of the king. While Hae Soo
is swept away in a stream of sadness, united in prayer.
After praying, Hae
Soo returns to the room, still in painful loneliness, she is powerless in the
name of love to a royal wedding. She is still a poor lady without a support
clan, without troops. If The Majesty was pleased to be present to the silence
of the room for a moment of comfort. The walls of the room were frozen,
unbounded by itself. Indeed The Royal Majesty has stood in the doorway of the
room, but for a moment hesitated. Is it still appropriate to visit Hae Soo on
the night of the royal bride, when she is powerless to stop Princess Yeon Hwa's
step? Tonight, even a king loses his guts.
***
The next day The
Majesty and the ministers gathered in the throne room, "Glad we can gather
today. In the course of coronation, I want to designate the name of the era for
this government ", The Royal Majesty said at the meeting the next day.
"The Majesty
wants to call this era by the name of Gwangdeok", Choi Ji Mong continued.
"All kings will
do the same", Prince Wang Wook smiled sarcastically.
"I know how to
hand out rice to those who are forced to become labourers. As for all the
financial affairs, The Majesty can entrust to us", Prince Wang Wook smiled
sarcastically. He never wanted to call Wang So with The Majesty, though he had
infiltrated Princess Yeon Hwa to scratch the dark colour on the life of the king
forever. The Royal Majesty smiled, approving Prince Wook's idea. While Prince
Baek Ah hid his surprise, he suspected the meaning of the smile behind Prince
Prince Wook's face and the similar meaning behind the face of The Royal
Highness. Prince Baek Ah chose silence.
"With a
trustworthy minister like everyone present here. I am biased sightseeing, go
hunting or continue reading a book. Ji Mong wanted me to read, The Importance
of Government in Zhenguan Period ", The Majesty King deliberately diverts
the conversation, only with Ji Mong sneer glancing at Prince Wook's face, he
knows the prince's evil intentions. He does not feel trepidation, for it can be
more sinister than anyone.
"There is no
better book to learn the principles of virtue," answered Ji Mong.
"And, the 14th
Prince Wang Jung was found guilty of treason, by returning to his
hometown", The Holiness King sentenced.
"The Majesty
.... Is the punishment worthy of Jung? There must be a clear wars for this
punishment ", Prince Baek Ah objected.
"Jung does not
believe in the king's will, that I am entitled to the throne. He deliberately
opposed me, considering that he is the younger brother of the same mother, I do
not impose the death penalty, just remove him from the royal environment. Send
back to his family in Chungju. If Jung sets foot in Songak after today, he will
be put to death", King Wang So's decision can not be contested, triggering
a murmuring voice from all the ministers present ......
The bad news soon
reaches the ears of the queen mother - -The Queen Yoo, the queen's eyes wide
open, the wider hearing the decision. She has abandoned King Taejo, Wang Yo,
now that sweet Jung should be exiled to a distant place. To whom again she can
lean against hearing, the sky blue in an instant turns black, the night rushes
fall in black, the darker. Thousands of stars flocked, fireflies collided, the
mother's body drooped, she could no longer lose.
"The Majesty
punishes Jung back to Chungju", Prince Baek Ah's face looks grim, the
king's family dispute ensue.
"We have to talk to The Majesty",
Hae Soo is surprised, why did The Majesty decide on such a cruel punishment?
"Soo, you can
not get involved in this. Or blood will be shed, this is not just a dispute of
the royal family, but more than that. It's a matter of loyalty to The Majesty
", Woo Hee argues.
"Right ...
" Prince Baek Ah justifies. To protect his position from the person who
doubts the will of the deceased king.
"Look always at
the situation, talk to the king in a calm atmosphere. You must know that moment
", Baek Ah's message.
***
Queen Yeon Hwa hears
the circumstances of the queen mother hastily he comes to visit, "How is
the queen mother?" The queen asks a lady.
"The healer
said either the king or queen should leave the queen mother", replied the
court lady, at the same time the queen mother opened her eyes.
"Jung .... I
have to meet ", the voice was so weak.
"From now on
only I will take care of the queen mother, no one can enter this room without
my permission", suddenly the Venerable King Wang So has been present in
the same place. The king approached the queen mother, sweeping the sweat on her
face smoothly, "Hurry up," King Wang So tried to comfort, in return a
pair of quirky mother eyes staring at him with overflowing hatred. Queens
mother never expected Wang So to be king, she wanted to be a queen mother for
Jung, not So. Now So even punish Jung, get him out of the palace. What else
could she have? The queen mother must now understand the meaning of loss, she
is helpless nothing, even when the heavy hand of the king gently sweeps her
sweat.
Prince Wang Jung
also heard about the mother's news, he intends to visit. However, the guard
held in front of the door. The prince's sweet face turned pale, he was no
longer a prince who could freely step into the courtyard, even when the mother
was ill. He was only a wasted prince, for doubting the deceased's will for Wang
So. Everything has changed no longer the same. At dinner Hae Soo expressed his
opinion, "Can not The Majesty momentarily allow Jung to visit a sickly
aunty mother?" Hae Soo ventures.
"Are you deliberately
conveying Jung's message about the health of the queen mother? Why should? Jung
will be sentenced to death when entering the palace. I will not allow Jung to
visit the queen mother, even if you help her", The Majesty King finished
the dinner, leaving Hae Soo.
Prince Wang Jung
still standing in front of the palace with a pale face, day after day passed
without the king's permission to visit the mother. The whole body of the prince
becomes limp, he is unable to swallow food or drink. Never in life he so longed
for a mother who had been too long known. Distance is only an inch, he just had
to step, but how powerful the king over his death. Prince Wang Jung did not
give up either, he still stood with a slim hope to meet back with his mother.
Prince Baek Ah feels sorry for Prince Jung's sadness, as sincerely as he handed
him a bottle of water. He hopes Jung will sip the bottle to quench his thirst,
but in desperation, the 14th Prince pours water onto his head. Prince Baek Ah is
stunned, there is a slashed in the recesses of the heart, why the fate of a
prince must also poor?
While in the room of
the queen mother, The Majesty King intend to bribe food, but the mother closed
her mouth. The queen mother had closed her mouth, refusing to eat all the food
and drink that The Majesty King had for five days in a row. "Do you want
to go away in this way?" King Wang So asked.
"Where is
Jung?" queen mother really missed the presence of Prince Wang Jung, every
Wang So was beside her let the food she felt hot. The very close distance to
King Wang So is a disaster, the queen mother cursed her illness, why it is
getting weaker and weaker. Where is Jung?
"Look, which kid is on the mother's side
now? Yo is complete and perfect, lying already in the realm of death. Jung,
beloved son, do not even know where he is? All you have is me. I have become
king and I am protecting you ", Wang So's voice raucous, he does not know
what he has actually done, he begs or reveals a grudge.
The eyes of the
queen's mother is enough to hate his hatred. The memory of the queen mother
hovered over the past few years, when Prince Wang So appeared in clothing and
if the sword was covered in blood. "Mother will always remember that day,
the day a queen dumps the prince who is born. I promise, from now on, mothers
will just see me .... " Feathery nervous bristle bristling, So keep his
words. Now he sits on the throne, at a place where a mother can not help but
always stare. Her mother's body felt weaker, the fog slowly floating in the
room, twisting her breath, the throat of the queen mother as if strangled.
"I will build a
greatest and grandest temple in all of Goryeo in honour of the mother. I'm going
to make a story about our very close and memorable relationship, how mothers
always care and I am a loving child. We are mothers and children who love each
other. So, everyone will know that, Wang So is the only precious child. I must
take revenge after the expulsion and denial of a mother .... " The king's
voice was almost muffled. He was a king, but never got the love of a mother, he
was in charge of revenge on him.
The surrogate
mother's breath was getting panting, regret arriving late when the door of the
death unfolded. The clouds seemed to be growing thicker to spread the frozen
air that increasingly hurt more. The longing for Jung's presence hurt, where is
the prince's sweet face? His eyes blurred as the queen mother tried to gaze
into Wang Soo's covered-up makeup, so the scar on her face never looked again.
There are thousands of words wanting to be spoken, but frozen on the tip of the
tongue, the limp body is now no longer equipped with energy. One thing a surrogate
mother can do is hold The King's cheek, then death comes quickly and surely in
time. The surrogate mother's life came to an end, on the bed only with Wang So.
When the weak hand was almost drooping, The Majesty immediately grasped it,
pressed back to his cheeks, tears split apart. He had lost a mother who never
loved, closed the door of the heart to death to pick up. The longing for a
wonderful relationship with a queen who had given birth to the world was never
answered, hanging as a wounded question. Why should a mother hate a born child,
even after she picks her up as a queen mother?
King Wang So sobs,
grief and revenge like the wind and storms that spin in the recesses of the
heart. Is it true that he is a poor king? The news of the death of the queen
mother slowly spread to Hae Soo's ears, she immediately met Prince Wang Jung,
guiding her to the bedside mother's side of the deceased, lying awkwardly.
Prince Wang Jung was unable to stem the tears, he had time to talk before the
mother passed away, there are still sweet words that can be spoken. Now the
mother is only one figure, without breath, motion, and words. Father has long
passed away, now mother. Wang So did not want his presence at the palace, he
was just a wasted prince. Prince Wang Jung's chest feels cramped, he does not
think someday will be in such a difficult situation.
While Hae Soo stood
there, she could feel the pain of Prince Wang Jung. Did he ever lose Myung Hae?
"Immediately leave this place. Your punishment still applies. Leave the
palace or face the death penalty, you doubt my position. I will handle the
whole funeral ceremony ", The Majesty King's voice is cold, he really is
not interested in looking at the face of Wang Jung, a man without loyalty.
Prince Wang Jung is
unable to resist the king's order, he wants to be involved in the funeral
ceremony of the mother for the final salute. However, he had no right to escort
his mother to the last resort. The tears were still dripping, the whole world
seemed to have left him, he was alone without the protection of a king.
"Why are you on
Jung's side?" King Wang So expressed anger at Hae Soo.
"He's gone before the funeral, only for a
moment he has a grieving time beside the corpse", Hae Soo gives an answer.
"Jung gets more
than just affection, I'm Wang So just a wasted prince. My mother only had time
to touch my face just before death picked up for twenty-five years of life. I'm
never has a mother, different from Jung. Am I wrong?" The Majesty's voice
stifled anger and disappointment. He did not want Wang Jung to be present at
the palace where he was enthroned. Hae Soo's face became sombre, she understood
the grief of a wasted prince. Even when he became a king, she only reached out
on the verge of death. The king's lover's hand intends to touch The Majesty's
cheek, but Wang So sets the distance. He is disappointed that Hae Soo still
extends a hand for Wang Jung, a man who does not support him sitting on the
throne.
"I think you understand my
difficulty", The King’s voice reached, then he passed with various
feelings raging like a storm.
***
After the mourning
ceremony for the queen mother who has gone away forever, The Majesty summoned Prince Wang Won, asking, "Who
has the idea of putting mercury in
King Moo's bath"? a pair of king's eyes staring at Prince Wang Won face
deeply, he still suspects the death of King Wang Moo. There was a man who
wanted his death.
For a moment of
silence. Prince Wang Won's mouth closed. How can he answer? "Is this idea
Wook?" King Wang So is fishing, he wants to know the real culprit, a
person who harms Wang Moo will endanger him as well.
"Chae Ryung
originally worked at your house, then moved to Wook's house. I knows you two
who put Chae Ryung in Damiwon. Was not the attack on Wang Moo rebellion Wook's idea?"
The king still had a
number of questions. However, the stillness remained silent, Prince Wang Won
was silent a thousand languages. He knows the consequences that occur when
answering. "If not Wook, I should assume all the evil is your idea", The
Majesty's patience to the limit.
"I am not a
skilled Goryeo scholar composing various ideas," replied Prince Wang Won.
"Prince Won can
also be punished for scales scams when selling silver to the merchant, it will
not answer. The punishment is put in a boiling pot", Choi Ji Mong warned
Prince Won not to silence forever.
"I only do the
things that are ordered", Prince Won finally confessed.
"All of Wook's
ideas, he plans with the late King Wang Yo", the 9th Prince has no more
room to dwell on, he unmasked the cover of evil in the palace scope.
"One more
question, who caused the death of the late King Wang Moo in the bathing pool?"
The King’s face was bright red, his eyes as sharp as a dagger toward Wang Won's pale face. He began to grasp the
fine thread between Wang Wook, Wang Won and Chae Ryung, Damiwon's ladies who
used close ties with Hae Soo to get permission to work in the same palace. He
had to do something, punishment for the perpetrator who put mercury in the
bathing pool so that King Wang Moo's mending died miserably.
***
Hae Soo captures the
awkward atmosphere at Damiwon, her grim faces, lesions, and fears. "Where
is Chae Ryung?" She asked Woo Hee.
Woo Hee's mouth is
instantly silenced, she must hide a terrible event. Can Hae Soo hear this news?
Woo Hee's beautiful face is no less a lesion with other ladies. Something has
happened. One thing Ha Soo feels is panic, one's body language has declared
everything. Hurrying the king's lover stepped into the yard, she tried to
resist the bad possibility that would happen. Hae Soo's eyes widened wide, the
executioner of the palace was beating the mats of humans repeatedly until the
contents inside the mat no longer indicate resistance or life. The prisoner is
dead.
"What has
happened?" The voice resembled a scream.
"The Majesty
ordered all the ladies to witness the punishment for the lady who was unable to
keep his word well", replied a lady.
"Why did The
Majesty order all this?" Hae Soo is about to approach the executioner, but
Choi Ji Mong stops her.
"It is a
punishment for Damiwon's ladies who commit crimes", replied Choi Ji Mong.
"Damiwon ladies? Who is she? Who?" Hae
Soo's voice mixed with sobs, she was very hopeful, that the lady who was
executed was beaten in a mat instead of Chae Ryung.
"The lady it
Chae Ryung", Choi Ji Mong's answer as if the stone punch that landed right
in Hae Soo's head, the king's lover was stunned. She never wanted the death of
Chae Ryung or any ladies in this way. Hae Soo stumbles closer to the mat, at
the same time wrapping the dead body of Chae Ryung open. The body was no longer
breathing, no longer energized, just a poor bloody lady who could not resist
the death penalty - a poor woman who had perished. Hae Soo felt her eyes dazed,
drowsiness intensified, colouring the whole sky into a blood, getting red.
Without mercy, the colour floods her consciousness, the fragile body of Hae Soo
toppling. The strength of her heart was never able to forgive the terrible
king's punishment for a helpless lady. When Hae Soo realized that she had been
lying in the room of the king's lover.
"Why never
deliver when Soo is sick?" The Majesty King looks angry, the court
physician hiding Hae Soo's true health. The court physician only silenced
without answer, bowed and retired. Soon Hae Soo opens her eyes with a painful
awareness, she again has to witness the tragic death inside the palace walls.
This time the death of Chae Ryung, an unfortunate lady who has been considered
a sibling. The Majesty intends to help her sit up, but Hae Soo refuses, "I
want to be alone", but King Wang Soo does not let Hae Soo herself.
"How can a king
punish a lady in such a horrible manner?" Hae Soo's sadness turns to
anger.
"You never
know, Chae Ryung spies on you. She told the 9th Prince about us, the news
reached the Empress Mother. She takes your stuff from Damiwon, creates
suspicion that you are a foreign spy ", answered The Royal Highness. For a
moment Hae Soo remembered only Chae Ryung who saw him writing hangul letters.
"The ladies is quietly blocking our marriage. She also puts the mercury in
Moo's bathwater ", the answer reminded her also when Hae Soo was about to
discuss mercury with Chae Ryun, suddenly the lady was frightened, and said if
it was not she who did it.
"Remember the
first time entering the palace through the cave is there in Damiwon baths? Was
not Chae Ryung the first time to tell you about the place? She knew from Prince
9, then Eun can not escape. Prince Won and Wook also knew about the place and
ordered the guards to wait there ", The Royal Highness has a number of
reasons to impose the death penalty.
Hae Soo recalls, she
once met Prince Wook in that place. Unconsciously Hae Soo's tears dripping, it
is not easy to lose a friend in a place that still feels strange. "She
tried to stay close to you to separate us. She is waiting for the right moment
to hurt you. I have no reason or need to forgive her", King Wang So still
has one reason.
Hae Soo's eye water
still drips, she is too fragile to see death after death is horrible, it turns
out that human life inside the palace walls is cheap. Her voice hoarse as she
says, "The only crime of the lad is born as a slave", Hae Soo sobs,
losing always brings a feeling of emptiness.
"Rest ....
" King Wang So holds Hae Soo's shoulder then passes away.
Now Hae Soo alone
with tears that have not been dry. Her eyes caught a letter. Slowly her fingers
moved to pick it up. While in the throne room The Majesty can not control the anger, to slam the table,
"Wook mastermind of all this, he dared to use the throne as bait and
thought to be playing with Wang So?" The voice exploded as if a
thunderbolt.
"Mastermind of
all this before deciding ", advises Prince Baek Ah.
"Who else do I
have? It's you and Hae Soo. All this, because Wook, now I've become the
executioner for Soo. I will make calculations!" King Wang So imagined Prince
Wang Wook's face with all the hatred. True, he will make calculations.
As for Hae Soo's
room opens a letter written by Chae Ryung herself. One thing that makes the
lover of the king fell silent, it turns out Chae Ryung much to hide the truth
about her, she once admitted unable to read. It turned out that the lady was
able to write well, writing neatly.
Dear
Hae Soo,
Please
pay attention to my family. I knew it was coming. I want to confess everything
to you, but there's no chance. I'm just someone who can not stop loving after
starting. I'm stupid ....
For a moment Hae Soo
sighed, she was amazed at the ability of a lady to write letters. An honest,
honest letter that deepens Hae Soo's sense of loss. If only she could save her
life. Hae Soo's eyes drifted away, recalling the moment she was trapped inside
this palace as the princes were bathing. Chae Ryung is the only person who
understands her difficulties. Who is Chae Ryung?
At that time, Chae
Ryung is just a child with a very bad appearance asking for money on everyone
who is met, but nobody is generous. At the same time, Prince Wang Won passes by
on a stretcher, giving Chae Ryung a silver coin. The gift that a child never
forgets, then changes all living destiny, because that is in Chae Ryung's mind
is the figure of Prince Wang Won. She always wanted to be at nearby, then after
adulthood, Chae Ryung decided to work as a lady at the residence of Prince Wang
Won. Wisely Prince 9th taught Chae Ryung how to write and read. Prince Wang
Won's good looks and kindness inspired feelings in a lady-a feeling that can
never be put to sleep even when redeemed by death. Love feeling. How peaceful
to look at the face of the sleeping ninth Prince. What a beautiful dream to be
the concubine of a prince. Hae Soo goes back to reading the short letter.
I'm
sure you always understand my deepest feelings. There's no need for me to
regret, because there's nothing I hate. Do everything I've ever done would have
meaning? I'm sure you can answer it.
Hae Soo looked away,
the contents of the letter stabbed into the recesses of the heart. Chae Ryung
is a lover who is in love, she is willing to do anything for the prince's wish.
Though causing the death of a king in a bathing pool, and must be accounted for
by the law of the palace, to eternity.
***
The Majesty returns to the room in a drunken state, on
the bed looks the figure of a woman covering the mask on her face, Hae Soo's
mask. For a while, King Wang So cheered, he thought Soo's anger had subsided and
was willing to visit his private room. No need to wait for The Majesty to come
closer, hug, and intend to kiss. But the movement is restrained, something is
wrong, Hae Soo figure is not like this. Swiftly The Majesty's hand opens the
mask, his blood is absorbed when he finds the face behind the mask is not Hae Soo,
not the king's lover. However, a face that always cultivates hatred - Queen
Yeon Hwa's face. "Why should you be in this place without my
permission?" A feeling that burned Wang So when she stared at Queen Yeon
Hwa was furious. This woman has managed to separate himself from Hae Soo,
seizing all the happiness of life.
"A king maybe
deceived by a mask", the cynical queen's voice, hiding the pain. She is a
queen who is dumped, The Majesty prefers the lost lady's memory.
"Leave this
place, before the second reign!" King Wang So looked away, he was not at
all interested in staring at the beautiful face of the queen. He knows the
greedy intent behind the beauty.
"I am a queen,
thus obliged to bear the crown prince for the successor to Goryeo's throne. We
can agree, The Majesty wants the throne, I'm the protector. We must prepare a
child to be king ", Queen Yeon Hwa hugs the back of King Wang So. She had
sacrificed a marriage without a king's love, what that sacrifice meant if she
could not bear a crown prince. The pain will be in vain.
"If you really
want to be my only queen, give birth to a crown prince, and become a queen
mother? Can you turn away from Wook and your family?" This time King Wang
So offers the queen. He knows Queen Yeon Hwa loves the throne instead of Wang
So, he asks the crown prince to become the queen mother. However, should not all of
that desire be achieved by sacrifice? Can the queen betray the loved ones for
her sake?
***
Hae Soo's move is
unstable when he goes to Damiwon, holding her hand in a puncture. Her sweet
face was covered with grief, she did not know how long it would take to forgive
the King's Chastisement until Chae Ryung passed away forever? She has to do
something, the decision is not easy. When the shadow of Prince Baek Ah comes
flashing, Hae Soo takes a deep breath. "What should I do? A king who I
love has sentenced the dead lady I consider to be a mother's sister?" Hae
Soo asked."
“The king has long known
that Chae Ryung is planning something. The king once tried to get rid of the
lady from the palace, but he is very close to you. If he does not try to stay
at the palace, the punishment will not happen", replied Baek Ah.
"The punishment
is too cruel for a slave? Chae Ryung is just a girl in love ", Hae Soo is
incapable of forgiving the cruel sentence of a king. She fell into an excess of
sadness.
"The punishment
should be for an incorrect Damiwon lady. She has been calm in nature there ..."
Baek Ah tries to cheer her up.
"The King's
Majesty is worried about your situation", Prince Baek Ah wonders, what is
Hae Soo really doing after a deep of loss?
"Could you help
me to give Jung a hairpin?"
“If Jung gets your
message, you will not be sad again?" Prince Baek Ah looks at Hae Soo's
pale face, hearts humans are always filled with mystery. What really who really
wants this king's lover?
"Give this hairpin
to Jung, convey the message I want it", despairing Hae Soo repeats her
request.
