SCARLET HEART, RYEO --Roman Under The Absolut Monarchy, Fiveteen

Prince Wang So could not help but meet Choi Ji Mong, something stuck after the tragic death of King Hyejong. Over and over again he can save the second King Goryeo, now with bitterness and remorse he must lose. Prince Wang Yo is not playing games, he has properly smeared his hands with blood, he can do anything for the sake of the throne. Prince Wang So now feels himself sitting on a sword. How is his fate then? Should he contradict The Royal Highness? Should he be loyal? How else is the fate of the other prince? In a state of uncertainty, he always needed a piece of time with the Star Expert.

"The twin stars of Prince 10 have gone up to the Palace, better to get the Prince", Choi Ji Mong opened the conversation. After King Taejo Wang Geon's death, the peace in the palace was cracked already. He already knew what would happen after this, but what he could do, he could only stare with a sour heart.

"I have been looking for it, but Eun as if swallowed by the earth. He is not even in Damiwon ", Prince Wang So felt tired, but he knew, had not arrived while resting. He needs to pause a few strokes, before asking, "Do I have to believe every word? Do you already know Moo Hyungnim will die miserably? Do you already know the 3rd Prince will be king?" Prince Wang So's eyes stared hard at Choi Ji Mong, The Star Expert was not like an ordinary human being, he seemed to have seen everything. Or he had lived in those days.

"If you were Choi Ji Mong, would know what it was like. A person who already knows everything, but can not be involved? Such is the fate of a star expert. The change of destiny of the 3rd Prince also surprised me. He's just born with a traitor star, there's another element I do not know. There is something wrong. Something changed so that the 3rd Prince became king? I even have to wonder ", Choi Ji Mong's eyes dream away, he can not even imagine having to serve a king-who was originally Prince Wang Yo, how cruel the prince is.

                                     ***

While in a room of Prince Wang Wook was silent, Hae Soo's words remarked, "Be careful of Prince Wang So, never contrary to his wishes …." Her words were just like the day yesterday was spoken. Painfully Wang Wook tried to translate. What will happen to So, why should he not fight? Soo seemed to know everything, and the lady was worried about him.

Princess Yeon Hwa arrives shortly afterwards, she captures the uncomfortable atmosphere on Wook's ugly face. What has happened? Whether he should remain silent, the beautiful face looked troubled too. At a glance Prince Wang Wook glances at the figure of Princess Yeon Hwa, is it wrong to share the story?

"Someone is upsetting you?" Princess Yeon Hwa asked, still lingers in hope, that one day, in the not-too-distant future Wang Wook will become king, so he still has authority over all the policy issues around the throne.

For a moment the silence, even the gentle breeze seemed reluctant to make a cock.

"Be careful of Prince Wang So, never against his will. Hae Soo once said, and I can never not believe it. If that desire meant to rob me of my wishes. Why should I believe those words? What exactly should I do?" Prince Wang Wook answers Princess Yeon Hwa's question, unaware, how much hate the sister to the lady. For the Princess, Hae Soo is just a girl who lost her memory. She is like a thorn in the flesh. Soo should have gone all the way from the palace walls.

"Hae Soo .... I will definitely see her .... " Princess Yeon Hwa's growled, very slowly until the wondering Prince Wang Wook could not hear.

                                                                                ***

Prince Wang Jung came to Damiwon, intending to find Hae Soo, he asked the passing lady. "Where's Soo?"

"Sorry, I did not see it", a short answer.

"Where is Soo?" The Prince again asked the next maid who was carrying a glass with a tray.

Strange, this time the lady did not answer at all, even turned around. Who exactly is that lady? Why dare to fight a prince's question?

"Can a lady leave a courtesy in the palace?" Prince Wang Jung asked.

"Excuse me The Majesty", the lady just glanced over, apologized in a low voice, almost in a whisper. When he was about to turn back, the cup on the tray fell down, with the adorable little hand of the lady catching it.

Prince Wang Jung's joyful eyes did not miss a few seconds of this scene, no ladies were able to act deftly holding a cup that almost fell to pieces on the floor except for the female soldier Park Seon Duk.  General Park’s daughter in disguise as a lady. In front of Prince Wang Jung general daughter could no longer hide. She and Prince Wang Eun are looking for a safe place before leaving Songak, temporarily hiding in Damiwon "I must leave Songak on the first occasion", Prince Wang Eun opened the conversation.

"But which way is safe enough? All the way out is guarded troops with a tight ", the sad face of Park Seon Duk can not hide uncertain.

"I am ashamed to have an old brother like Mo, he is cruel", Prince Wang Jung knows, why Wang Eun and Park Seon Duk chose to leave Songak, the atmosphere is no longer comfortable.

"If we had a giant flying bird as Choi Ji Mong had told us, or a passageway in the ground," Prince Wang Eun wished, the air of Songak caused the heat. Hae Soo broke away from this conversation, as the lady's chief stepped out Park Seon Duk followed her, "Am I able to meet dad with the support of Choi Ji Mong, I have to say goodbye before leaving?" The general’s daughter asked.

"Choi Ji Mong is always with Prince So, are you sure of that?" Hae Soo asks, she is unsure of the safety of Park Seon Duk.

"Why do not you believe in the 4th Prince? Are not you two so close?" Park Seon Duk could not help but ask.

"I have a reason for your safety both", answered Hae Soo curtly.

"Thank you", Park Seon Duk's voice almost whispered, she looked at Damiwon's lady's head strangely, why should Hae Soo not trust Wang So?

"I know the rumour of the Prince of the 4th. He will not arrest anyone without cause unless he is betrayed. We should trust the people we like?" Park Seon Duk asked.

The question caused Hae Soo to pause, she remembered the message of The Royal Highness, Do not be so fixated on the future until you give up everything you have now. "That's right, ah, I'm too stupid. He has never done anything wrong to me. I'll see the star expert", in an instant Hae Soo changes her mind then rushes to meet Choi Ji Mong in the library.

However, Choi Ji Mong was not visible where he worked, the lady's chief waited while writing on a piece of paper on the table. While Park Seon Duk and Prince Wang Jung went to the cave to move the stones that covered the door. The General's daughter poured out all her energy until all the sweat was swept up, her long hair sticking to her tall neck. Prince Wang Jung looked pity, he lent a hair clip sincerely to Park Seon Duk. A kindness that caused the Princess General to wonder, why did Prince Wang Jung bring a woman's hairpin?

"Why do you have also a woman's hair ornament?" Park Seon Deok could not help but ask.

"Restore it after wearing it", Prince Wang Jung feels no need to give a real answer. He has the right to have a secret with himself.

"It seems that this hair ornament has been long enough, have you been saving it, because someone you love?" Park Seon Duk still asks, at first glance she can see that smiling sweet face.

"I think you only know about fighting, never thinking of women", as if just realizing, Park Seon Duk catches the face of Prince Wang Jung who hides the secret. Which woman is loved?"

"Someone who sacrificed her life for me, who risked her life to save me", unconsciously pronounced Prince Wang Jung, when he was rescued by a young girl from a pirate raid that wanted his death. Thinking back to a girl singing melodiously at Prince Eun's birthday party, the prince's eyes darted long before returning to say, "When I saw her sing, I realized. One day, I want her to sing just for me. I started wishing that would happen. Do I love her?" Prince Wang Jung did not mention a name, he kept very deep in the recesses of the heart ….

"Your feelings are right, you love her", Park Seon Deok replied, did not she ever feel the same? The Memory of the Generals flew away for a time that lags far behind. When she looked sadly for the sister who ran happily with his friends.

"When my sister was elected wife of the king, all daughters of the ruling family gather together. However, I am much more comfortable wearing armour. According to other kids, I'm a different person", Park Seon Deok opens old memories.

"I'd rather be on the battlefield than see my brother playing with the other girls. Soon there was a boy who gives flowers and say, do not cry. I did not immediately accept, constantly I looked at the boy, to ask. Do not you like this flower? I realized, why the question arises, because the boy saw a flower motif on my shirt. So, I hid my hand back ", for a moment Park Seon Duk fell silent before going on." Still remember, the boy looked at the strange sauce asked. Usually, all the pretty girls love flowers. Do not you also like this flower? I smile, the boy is the prince of little Wang Eun ", the face of Park Seon Duk glow, she keeps the name of Wang Eun from childhood until the day of marriage arrives and forever.

"If you really love someone, keep her name in the niche careful, do not have to feel hesitate, do not worry, be sure to yourself. Stay with her till the day that comes", Park Seon Duk advises, she had experienced the same thing until she waited for the wedding day to arrive.

 "Hwai ting ....!" Prince Wang Jung said to give himself the spirit.

                                                                   ***

While Princess Yeon Hwa ensures herself to come to the palace, greeting Wang Yo as the new King, she also wears the King's rings. For the beautiful ring that is circled on Princess Yeon Hwa's ring finger, The Royal Majesty laughs. The beautiful princess even provides herself before come. "As a result, you came, I have planned your rearrangement," The Majesty's words caused Princess Yeon Hwa to smile hopefully "I will send you to Khitan. The late king once promised the eldest daughter married to King Khitan, but Princess Kyung Hwa even married So. Therefore, I agree to send members of the kingdom. Congratulations on your marriage, Yeon Hwa ", the words of The Royal Highness were completely unexpected, Princess Yeon Hwa thought she would be asked to become a queen. May she be dumped, the smile on the beautiful lips soon disappears with anger and disappointment.

"Why is everyone who sits on the throne always threatening me with marriage? Father and son are all the same. Do you believe that marriage is the only way to strengthen the allies at the expense of the princess? I'm hard to say, but I'm really disappointed in you", Princess Yeon Hwa's tongue is bitter.

"Or are you still greedy to be queen? Your brother betrayed me, and you took part in his favour. Do you think it's easy to accept your whole family as a sister-in-law?" This time The Majesty can no longer suppress the annoyance of Yeon Hwa, though she had hoped for it. The boundary between love and hate is relative. Is there still something to keep talking about?

Princess Yeon Hwa's steps are staggering as she leaves the room, bitterly realizing, that she no longer has hope, everything has long been destroyed. There is something lost in the heart, for a while she did not know where to look. Wang Yo's beautiful ring of gifts instantly transforms into a burning veil. Anger and disappointment rolled into one, something unacceptable to a beautiful princess-dumped! Apparently without the support of a king, a princess can easily be wasted without feeling. To whom should she take sides? The walls of the palace protects and clutches and injures. Princess Yeon Hwa takes off Wang Yo's ring and then throws it to the far end. She must forget the relationship and all hope from The Royal Highness. At first glance, remembering Wang So's words, "I can not lose Soo, without the lady I will have no future", the words are like blades that flashed with pain. She is the daughter of King Taejo Wang Geon who managed to unite Goryeo into a great and dignified kingdom. But what does all this mean? She does not even mean anything in front of a strange girl who once lost her memory, Hae Soo. Unconsciously the tears of Princess Yeon Hwa drip, clear as dew drops. She has been dumped by two princes at once, in the not-too-distant future. She must swallow with bitter meaning is nothing.

While in the room of Prince Wang Eun felt time seemed reluctant to spin, he had to swallow bitter, because footsteps trapped, not free to move around the palace walls. The room in the room becomes too narrow, no different from the iron bars that confine freedom. When The Majesty King Taejo reigns, he is a free prince to go, now he is imprisoned, self-expression means hunting for death that lies beneath Wang Mo's sword sheath that now sits on the throne and reigns. Punishment of Prince Wang Eun can not be separated from the observation of Park Seon Duk who loves the prince wholeheartedly. "We can go to Damiwon baths, Soo will not allow young ladies to come to that place at night ", Park Seon Duk find a way out.

Prince Wang Eun was silent for a while before replying. "All right ...." In Damiwon's bath, the atmosphere was silent, there was no busyness except two people who never knew, where to go that day. The two should be able to enjoy the togetherness in a place that is really quiet, but both Prince Wang Eun and Park Seon Duk look awkward as if the pair of lovers who first met. The Prince seems hesitant to undress, when Wang Eun intends to undress Park Seon Duk, the Princess General continues to avoid. In the baths, they are not really a bath to freshen up. Prince Wang Eun folded the towel into different shapes like swans, rabbits, birds and ships. The match between Prince Wang Eun's ship and Park Seon Duk begins, the General’s daughter is more expert at bringing the wind by fanning, so the ship goes faster. Before reaching the finish line Seon Duk deliberately relented, she wanted to comfort Prince Eun with victory. Happy to see the Prince's smile on his lips. Then the ship made Prince Wang Eun won the match across the bath pool. As punishment that lost his hand should be beaten, Prince Wang Eun has been prepared to impose the sentence, but the movement of his hand stalled. He could see the bruises on his wife's hands, he knew he did not have to keep hitting a woman who really loved.

"My hands are hurting, because they often beat you", Prince Wang Eun has a reason, he does not need to impose a punishment for a game defeat. Park Seon Duk then gives a slingshot of Prince Wang Eun who was taken away when the two secretly left the palace when Wang Yo throne. Seon Duk knows, Prince Eun is very happy with this toy. A delightful gift, Eun holds the slingshot tightly. "Actually I want to open the biggest toy store in Songak. So my dream ", sad tone Prince Prince Eun said, he doubted, is there a desire that will be achieved?

"We can go to Tamra, The Majesty can open a toy store. I am going to be a martial teacher", Seon Duk gives an answer, she really wants to do everything for the Prince. Prince Eun then gives a pouch of perfume to Seon Duk in return, reverberating the words Princess Yeon Hwa," Seon Duk has no this bag, I'll buy one for her ". Originally Seon Deok thought the bag of fragrance will be given Prince Eun to Hae Soo, today the pouch was even given to her. Soen Duk can grasp the sincerity. Suddenly she lost her words.

"You do not like it?" Prince Eun asked, because of Seon Deok's silence.

"Strange, usually all beautiful women love it", Prince Wang Eun again said. A remark that is always remembered, when both are still a child. Unconsciously Seon Deok turns, she seemed to return to the past, when the first time to save the name of Prince Wang Eun in the recesses of the heart. She never wrongly decided to live with this prince. On the other hand, Seon Duk's stare almost made Prince Eun jump, he already told Park Seon Duk a beautiful woman.

"I mean, you are not a beautiful woman, lately you look not too bad", the Prince needs to straighten his words. Park Seon Duk gives a soft kiss on Prince Eun's lips.

"I know what those words mean. A beautiful flower is still a flower, is not it?" Seon Deok said without hesitation." I want to have two sons and two daughters, no objections ", Prince Wang Eun expressed his wish.

"Will kissing make me pregnant with a child?" Seon Duk asks, she becomes confused with the Prince's wish while continuing to touch her beautiful lips. She will recall a few impressive seconds. "It would be better, if from the beginning we live like this", Prince Wang Eun was grumbling, he had placed Park Seon Duk on a hesitant state, as well as changing his attitude. The General’s daughter was still difficult to understand. Prince Wang Eun then grabbed Seon Duk's arm, the two joined hands back to the room, while, leaving all the shapes of animals and ships in the bathing pool without worrying about the dangers that threatened. The next morning when he arrived at the bathhouse, Hae Soo found various ships and animals shaped from the towel scattered about.

'Prince Wang Eun was once here ...' The lady's chief gleaned. The lord's soft lips smiled, not even sniffing the danger of a trivial object that could change one's destiny. Soon Chae Ryung comes along with another lady to do the daily work, cleaning up the bathing pool. She found also various forms of ships and animals from towel scattered. "Is there a ghost in this bath pool?" Chae Ryung asks Hae Soo.

Hae Soo smiles, "I made all this," the lady's chief did not have to answer truthfully, that Prince Wang Eun had been here. Is not that decoration cause Damiwon look more vibrant.

At the same time, unexpectedly Princess Yeon Hwa comes. A pair of jelly eyes immediately looked at the rabbit shape of a towel clutched in Hae Soo's hand. The Princess's view is provoked to look at other forms of the same material. There was a sense in her mind, and she believed. Headless Princess Yeon Hwa nods. Hae Soo knows the steps to be taken when Princess Yeon Hwa arrives, is presenting drinks. For that drink the Princess does not even need to thank her, she must affirm conscience.

"Leave So at first chance", the voice was cold and sudden. Hae Soo seemed to be stuck into the fog, frost and dark. She has not been able to answer when Princess Yeon Hwa again said. "I know what you have said into Wook. I know you have not told  So, and now he is enchanted by you. I'm not willing to hear or see any inappropriate behaviour, so leave So first. Or you have to deal with the problem. Your intention to marry is to leave the palace, I will do it for you. I can marry you to a ruler's family whose position is the same as the prince ", Princess Yeon Hwa's voice is cold and firm, in Hae Soo's ear it sounds like a dumb war beating.

" The marriage may be your goal, your honour, but not to me. Did I really have a reason to leave Prince So? Except The Majesty really left me? The size of each person's happiness is different unless I make him miserable. Or I really have a reason", Hae Soo felt the need to be assertive, she should not be afraid of a princess. She is authorized to determine the destiny of her own life. When the atmosphere is nervous, even the wind seems reluctant to blow. The air is hot. The beautiful eyes of Princess Yeon Hwa turned into reddish coals. She never suspected in the fate of her life as the beautiful daughter of King Taejo she would face a stubborn lady and disobey the will of a beautiful woman.

"Now I understand why to hate you. For you, marriage and feelings are just silly boy games. It's not a matter of life and death. I remind you, do not be too confident, or you should change your mind. No one has the right to say it in the palace. One day you will regret it. Today I promise to make you sorry ", Princess Yeon Hwa stared at Hae Soo with a fiery look. If the glow of a pair of eyeballs could burn Damiwon's present lady head. She always burned hatred when faced with Hae Soo. What great girl lost this memory, so Prince Wang So can not afford to lose? As for the girl insisted also to have no excuse to leave. Princess Yeon Hwa's footsteps were so heavy on Damiwon's floor, the air was hot.

                                                                              ***

At another angle at Prince Wang Wook's palace is conveying an important matter to The Royal Highness, "General Park is a military force, Ji Mong is a religious power. Both support So, deserve both dismissed. Similarly with So" , Prince Wang Wook's words blew as if in the ears of The Majesty the heavens. But Wang Yo was unable to inflame the blast into a hasty death, Prince Wang So was the brother. While he has made Wang So a traitor. The Majesty just paused, it turns out he must be able to carry out a terrible act.

"Or The Majesty must separate Park Soo Kyung and Choi Ji Mong", Prince Wang Wook gives the following advice.

At the same time suddenly Princess Yeon Hwa breaks into the room, "I want to make things easier for you two", Princess Yeon Hwa's voice interrupts the conversation between the two princes.

"In return for my successful plan, cancel my marriage with the Khitan family", Princess Yeon Hwa offers, something not easily rejected, even by a king. The Majesty seemed to think. After the offer, Prince Wang So met Princess Yeon Hwa, asking, "Where is Eun? Do not you know he is?"

"You still do not know? Hae Soo has been hiding Eun and his wife in Damiwon ", replied Princess Yeon Hwa unhesitantly, she had never seen Prince Wang Eun at Damiwon. However, who likes to make different shapes of animals and ships from towels?

"How do you know? Do you see it for yourself?" Prince Wang So's eyes stared at Princess Yeon Hwa inquisitive, as if to see the deepest content of her heart.

"Eun always likes to make all shapes of animals and ships from towel since childhood. dogs, birds, rabbits. He also likes to fold paper and make it a boat. Damiwon is full of little toys made by Eun. I'm sure of that ", Princess Yeon Hwa's voice is certain.

The voice immediately pushed the steps of Prince Wang So rushed away. In Damiwon Prince Wang Eun and Park Seon Duk were preparing to leave, "Follow the way out of the cave. Outside the cave, Prince Jung is waiting, will escort him to the ship. Bring meat for the supply on the road", Hae Soo let the couple go, she tried hard to cover up her heart that was drooping.

"Oh yes, what about my father?" Park Seon Duk can not cover the feelings of anxiety.

"I've written a letter, general will definitely meet you on the road", Hae Soo has prepared everything, but it is too late.

Suddenly there was a frenzied voice of soldiers fighting. Soon after Prince Wang Jung appeared with a harsh breath, "Leave Damiwon, the royal troops are on every corner. I will confront the guard!” The sound is more like a tear though without tears pouring.

Park Seon Duk, Prince Wang Eun, and Hae Soo know the meaning of the scream, life is now at the end of the horn. The three of them immediately ran towards the opposite direction, but from different door directions came a booming voice, "Catch Prince Eun !!"

"Save Prince Eun, point out direction", Park Seon Duk's request to Hae Soo is similar to the crying from the last tear.

"Let me handle the royal soldiers! They will not kill me, because they are reluctant to father", Park Seon Duk still has the rest of her faith or he just builds false hopes. Without waiting for a reply the Princess General passed away in a hurried pace.

"Prince, let's go", Hae Soo thinks Prince Wang Eun will follow his request. The estimate is erroneous, Prince Wang Eun seems hesitant, his face paled as if pounding into a storm without any interruption. Could he let a wife defy death by herself? For the sake of his safety?

"The Majesty!" Hae Soo's voice changed in a frenzy.

"Where to go? Do I have to leave the wife alone? The dream is to live with me? Only I owned ", no doubt Prince Wang Eun let go of Hae Soo's hands, he knows better where to step and then leave. Though it means dead.

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

Hae Soo returns in the days at Damiwon, replacing the position of Sanggung Oh who has passed away, she has the expertise of mixing all the herbal ingredients. Now, all Damiwon's servants bowed, without exception, including Chae Ryung who worked as a servant in the same place. Some of the servants were talking, talking about Hae Soo's presence, all rushing down as Hae Soo suddenly appeared to check all the places in Damiwon.

Every corner in Damiwon seems to be fine, then Hae Soo sits facing the desk, writes notes in Hangul letters - It's sweet, stop the pain. Chae Ryung comes with a smiling, she always misses this girl in her life, "Agassi ..." the waiter keeps calling it the same name before Hae Soo repeatedly suffered harm. As she is a noble girl of Hae's big family.

"No need to call me with Agassi", Hae Soo stares at Chae Ryung's plain face, the face that makes her aware, she still has a loving friend.

"It's a habit, I can not stop calling you like that. I can not call you Hae's concubine ", Chae Ryung tells the truth, she looks surprised when she sees Hae Soo writing," Is that what writing means? "

"Yeah, you have to learn to read and write", Hae Soo replied, she knows how important that ability is in the life of the palace, while Chae Ryung thinks she is old to study writing and reading.

"I know all the tea and herbal medicines that are in the storage room, I do not need to be able to read or write", Chae Ryung replied as is, then she pulled out something. A parcel by saying, "Happy birthday".

Hae Soo is confused, today is not birthday, "Today is your birthday, so I gave it a gift, because Agassi's knee still hurts", Chae Ryung reminded, she remembered Hae Soo's birthday, not Ko Ha Jin.

Hae Soo must accept this reality, no one, except the late King Taejo Wang Geon know who her identity is. "Thank you", Hae Soo should be comforted by the gift, embroidered on a beautiful piece of cloth.

"I'll wear it every time my knee hurts. However, the best present is that you work at Damiwon now”, Hae Soo always feels peaceful when she is close to Chae Ryung, the first person to save her in this unfamiliar place.

"All this because Prince Wook frees me from slavery. Do not you know he still remembers you?" Chae Ryung reopens a figure who once attended Hae Soo's life. But where is Wang Wook now?

I have no idea.

Hae Soo is silent this time. The thousand-day school has been exceeded, everything changed. She does not even need to remember the 8th Prince ever too far in life. Everything vanished without a trace.

                                                                             ***

After a beautiful birthday present from Chae Ryung, Hae Soo now sits together with Prince Baek Ah and Prince Wang So. Prince Baek Ah extends the prize, "Happy birthday, I deliberately bought this gift time in Byeokrando from a Persian merchant who got it from Bulgaria. Hope you are happy to receive it", the Prince gives sincerely, he knows the right gift for Hae Soo.

Hae Soo can not help but smile, she must return to receive the gift, though not her birthday. As she opened the box, she found a flask of rose-scented oil, soft. "Happy with this prize", Hae Soo's beautiful eyes sparkle, oil is distilled from rose petals good for herbal bags. Prince Wang So glances at the gift with cynicism, why should Prince Baek Ah have to give a special gift to Hae Soo?

"So Hyungnim does not know what to buy, then comes here empty-handed", Prince Baek Ah responds to that cynical look.

"Soo is just a court lady. The arrival of the 4th Prince to Damiwon is enough as a reward ", Prince Wang So's tone of voice is no less cynical.

"Yes, right. I'm just a court lady, being born and working in Damiwon has to make me happy ", Hae Soo does not silence with the satire.

Was it true that Prince Wang So intended to insinuate without a gift on her birthday and regard it as a mere servant?

Hae Soo is reading a book in the room when a voice sounds like a wolf howling. Is there really a wolf in the neighborhood of Damiwon? She needs to make sure of that possibility. When leaving the room, Hae Soo gets Prince Wang So standing to wait for her. "Is it true that Prince imitates that voice?"

"That's right, that's my voice. Similar is not it? "Prince Wang So replied with pride.

"That voice does not resemble howls of a wolf. It sounds more like a choking eat", Hae Soo scoffs, she does not have to agree with a prince's question.

"Similar or not similar, still be an important thing? For a birthday present, I'll show you something," Wang So said, for a moment Hae Soo paused before grabbing the hand of Wang So. So both of them walked away.

The step was stopped at the edge of the lake, the water surface was clear and calm without turmoil. Both looked up at the sky, staring at the stars. Prince Wang So pointed to a star that is a fixed star or anchor star.

"It's the North Star, not the anchor, but Cassiopeia", Hae Soo denied.

"Do you forget, I know about astrology?" Prince Wang So did not want to lose, he was convinced by the name of the star.

"You are wrong from the beginning, Cassiopeia Queen of Ethiopia who always proud if her daughter is prettier than the sea fairy. It is said that the Sea God punished the Queen ", Hae Soo did not want to admit Prince Wang So. "Look at that star, does not it look like an upside-down chair? The punishment for his pride is that he is hanged upside down for half a day ", Hae Soo again explains.

"Back then ... when I was a kid ... I visited my mother after a long absence. Mom was holding Wang Jung while reading a fairy tale. At that moment I hope Jung will disappear, I also want to hit by mother. When I saw my mother's face immediately hide Jung. Maybe, he knows that someday I will kill my brother ", this time Prince Wang So's words were bitter. It is not easy to admit a prince who was rejected by the mother of the queen, because of a visual defect. He needs someone who is able to understand the difficulties of his life.

"I think almost everyone with a younger brother would have spoken like that, I also said, wanting my sister disappear. Why does she always irritate me? "Hae Soo replied, she knew how painful the queen removed and never considered anything.

"Do you want to make me give up or just pay attention to you?" Prince Wang So diverts the conversation, this time Hae Soo looks confused.

"Every time I tell the story of life, the load feels light. How can I live without you? If you do not want to be with me, never give me hope, never torture me ", Prince Wang So said the truth. He has lost the love of a mother, he needs a figure who can pay for the loss.

Hae Soo paused a couple of percussions until both of them stared at each other without a word, expressing a thousand feelings without movement. Prince Wang So finally surrendered, he was unable to stop himself kissing Hae Soo, but the tapering fingers immediately held back the Prince's face, "You should ask for permission first."

"Well, may I do it?" Prince Wang So asked.

"No", Hae So's answer causes the two to turn their faces nervously. When Prince Wang So keeps trying to get closer, Hae Soo back away.

"The king may marry you as the concubine of the ruling family," Prince Wang So became irritated.

"It will never happen, The Majesty really cares for me", Hae Soo said in pride.

"You are too confident", Prince Wang So's voice is high. He did not mean to force Hae Soo to do something unwanted, he was too fond of this lady.

Finally Prince Wang So lay on the grass, staring back at the glitter of a beautiful star sprinkled as if glittering precious stones were scattered, "Soon you will be off, I will take you to the tower of hope".

"Where is that?" Hae Soo asks, she just heard a place called the tower of hope.

"There is something to say in the tower, if you really want to know, I hope you come", this time Prince Wang So smiled, he felt a peaceful day while lying under the sky, staring at the sparkling stars with a woman expected to be a life companion during - even though the answer has never existed before.

                                                                      ***

Prince Wang Wook was meeting with ministers and officials of the palace, delivering important news, "The Majesty  wants to add and change the royal army. All the soldiers of the ruling family will join the royal army, and support the court. "

The news caused the whole room to whisper, wonder, doubt, and weight. Without exception Prince Wang So, the handsome face looked confused. Why did The Majesty have to increase the number of troops?

"The Majesty's health is declining, all knowing he can not attend the meeting. The Majesty's decree is that we should not delay this emergency", declares Prince Wang Wook, as if he were the right-hand man of King Wang Mo.

The meeting did not last long, Prince Wang So summoned the 8th Prince after leaving the king's meeting room, "You go further, as if the guardian, for health reasons ", the 4th Prince did not hesitate to object.

"Is it possible that I became the prelate of the king, or do you mind if I act as a guardian?" Prince Wang Wook asked, "Would not it be better this way to avoid misunderstanding?" Prince Wang Wook warded off.

"You act as if the Minister of the Union, causing the family rage in this kingdom. If you keep pressuring every family on behalf of The King, a time of anger will burst into anger", Prince Wang So feels strange, why Wang Wook should behave like this. He feels more strange, when Prince Wang Wook responds with a smile.

"Why should smile?" Prince Wang So did not believe the smile.

"I thought you were just a fighting fighter, was able to argue about the governance", Prince Wang Wook's tone of voice more resembles.

"Do you think I trust you?" Decidedly the voice of Prince Wang So, he should be more careful to deal with this one prince.

"I just replaced the absence of The Royal Highness. True, I'm a bit exaggerated. I accept your advice, with notes that not all ministers can do the one thing I just done", Prince Wang Wook looked at the Prince's face deeply and then went away.

                                                                                   ***

2nd Goryeo Ruler, Wang Moo - The Honorable King Hyejong is showered with Hae Soo and Chae Ryung as servants. "The last days, after the bath I feel very calm, but when I wake up from sleep I can not tell which day yesterday or today", The Majesty complained, he buried deep sorrows, having to suffer all his life", The Majesty lacks sleep.

“I will provide tea and pillow to help sleep", Hae Soo gives way out.

"Chae Ryung is here, wash away any minute", Hae Soo assigns Chae Ryung duties. Chae Ryung, the waiter looked nervous and dipped something in the pond water.

"Did she add any herbal medicine? Later the aroma is too sharp", The Majesty's feelings become less comfortable, there is something wrong with the water in this pond. Chae Ryung felt herbal medicine began to decrease its influence, then she added again. From the gap of the front door secretly Prince Wang Won peering Chae Ryung's behavior, the waiter was surprised to leave the bathing pool and Prince Wang Won was now in sight.

"Damiwon needs more mercury for the manufacture of mirrors. Did the merkury arrive?" Prince Wang Won asked.

“I've seen it anyway", Chae Ryung bowed her face, there is something hidden deep in the recesses of the heart. The answer caused Prince Wang Won's face to smile slyly, without a word he then passed away from Damiwon. In his place Chae Ryung looks nervous. While The Majesty Hyejong has finished bathing, strangely, in the room he feels his whole body is shivering.

"Something unusual these last days, I'm getting harder to sleep, even if sleeping dreams are always bad. Now it's summer, but I even feel cold ", The King complained to Prince Wang Wook in the hope of getting a way out.

"The Majesty, I'm sure the time has come. It is time for you to release the throne for me", Prince Wang Wook's answer far beyond the King's expectations, King Hyejong's eyes widened. Really the words? He believes in Wang Wook that the Prince wants his position openly, "I know you have Choi Ji Mong spreading false rumors if you are a dragon's son, because your skin left scaly scars", Prince Wang Wook has not finished saying, where he stood, it was hard to believe that Wang Wook, who was considered loyal to him, betrayed him. "If you surrender the throne to me, I will help you live the rest of your life in peace. The throne is a burden, for the good of all you ought to have to let go of that burden. Hyungnim ... "Prince Wang Wook is still speaking, his eyes cold, he does not need to pay attention to how destructive the King's heart with those words. He also wanted to be a king.

King Wang Mo Hyejong still stood transfixed, too bitter to realize Wang Wook is the enemy in the blanket. He felt himself alone. Time to freeze. He must lead this great empire alone, who will protect from enemy attacks. He did not want Goryeo to collapse, because troops from other kingdoms. So The Majesty took a step that was unbelievable for Prince Wang So. That day The Excellency King Hyejong seemed to lose his mind, his whole body shivering in the hot weather. Prince Wang So needed to focus, because the King seemed to be behaving in an odd manner, unlike ordinary days. He becomes even more bizarre when it appears Choi Ji Mong guides a little girl dressed like a queen with a beautiful bun. "Calm down, never be afraid", Choi Ji Mong whispered.

"You must go in order to be able to save warned this country ", King Hyejong's voice changed as if shouting terrible, because embraced feelings of fear.

"The Majesty, I do not want to get married", the little girl's feelings are no less frightened, her tears flooding like a creek.

"You stupid kid! All this to save you! Hurry off now!" King Hyejong shouts again. There was no other way, except to marry off his little girl with a king, so that he might get an ally.

"Your Majesty, the princess is still a child. Why send her to Circumcision? Is it true?" There is still a word left for Choi Ji Mong to awaken The Majesty.

"If she marries the family of Khitan, they will send troops when I am in danger", The Majesty King again screamed furiously, a thousand fast paced war horses are ready to attack Goryeo. "Then go! In this place death lurks every moment, save your life. Go now!" King Hyejong Wang Mo encourages his crying little girl to beg for forgiveness. She is just a girl who still likes to play, she is not even worthy of wearing the majesty of a queen with a nan bun. How could she enter into the palanquin, to the far kingdom to become a wife of a king who was never known and desired as a husband? But how could she refuse this madness?

Fear of the young face and the wailing of the heart was heard in the ear of Prince Wang So who stood not far from the place. Can he justify the action of The Majesty, though very powerful. The 4th Prince's relief goes back to the past when he had to leave Shinju to be the adopted son of Concubine Conscience Kang in childhood.He sobbed  against a pole, calling her mother, but Queen Yoo is sitting majestically in the palanquin, silent as if she never heard a cry. This time the tiny Princess Goryeo, wailing just like hisself, refused to be married to a stranger in a strange place. Should Wang So silence a thousand languages? Should he allow a similar error to recur a second time?

"Stop!" Prince Wang So's voice thundered like a thundering rumble, his mighty hands pulling the tiny arm of Princess Goryeo's arm away from The Royal Highness. "The Majesty intends to marry the underage Princess Goryeo with an unknown ruler of Khitan? She was even too young to get married, especially in a strange place. She will only be a prisoner, can not The Majesty understand this? "Prince Wang So's face was red hot. Do allies with other kingdoms to strengthen Goryeo be done by marrying a pretty girl? The 4th Prince rejects this assumption.

"What do you know about this? Every night I can not sleep, because there are people who want my death. The person I trust wants me to abdicate! Even handed it over. Me, we'll all die slowly. Who will protect the royal family?" King Hyejong is sick from the beginning, not even able to protect himself. It has no view to save all Goryeo from the threat of external and internal enemies. Sitting on the throne is not just in authority, but also closer to the day of death. The Majesty King never realized his strength. He becomes vulnerable and crazy with his weakness and willing to sacrifice little girls who do not understand anything yet.

"Or do you want to do it? Will you marry my daughter ... and protect us?" The King's question so quickly without a plan. On the other hand Prince Wang So was stunned, he never expected to be cornered with a question that could not be missed. He loves Hae Soo, but it is impossible to give up a little girl-a Princess Goryeo is forced to marry in a foreign place with the worst consequences she will be persecuted as a prisoner for the rest of her life. He did not have to love the little girl of the royal family as his wife, but he was obliged to protect her. He will be the strongest ally of The Majesty King by marrying Princess Goryeo, even though she is only a little girl.

"Are you willing to marry my daughter?" For the second time The Royal Highness asked, he really hopes Prince Wang So will answer "Yes". That answer means he has two advantages, first he has allies to protect the throne, the two allies are rightly believable.

As Prince Wang So stares at the plain face of Princess Goryeo, he will bear any consequence to protect this Little Princess from the possible mayhem of the neighboring kingdom. Again he did not even need to love her, he just needed to love. Did he have to answer "No?" The 4th Prince sighed. In a short time he must determine the attitude that will change the destiny of other people's life and himself. "Yes, I am willing to marry her", Prince Wang So consciously say it.

                                                                        ***

Hae Soo is neatly decorated also include hair clips given by Prince Wang So. She did not need to explain in words, but at the meeting times she wanted to return to display the beauty in front of the 4th Prince. Prince Wang So kept his promise to meet again, though he had determined the attitude that would change the course of the conversation this time. What could he say? From a distance the Prince looked at the figure of Hae Soo, there is something lost  in the recesses of the heart, bringing a quiet atmosphere. Had he betrayed this lady? Or, Hae Soo is a wise girl and can understand all the hardships of life and the way to go? There was still a remnant of power for Prince Wang So to smile, "Has long been waiting? I think you will not come?"

" No, I have not come yet and definitely come, because there is something important to say ", Hae Soo suddenly felt this meeting to be bland, something different from Prince Wang So's attitude, like a day ago. There is something wrong? Should he ask? Or time will answer it.

"Important thing to be delivered? Did I really say that?" Prince Wang So realized his mistake, the words that were ready to be delivered had to be swallowed. He had agreed to a marriage with Princess Goryeo, the direct descendant of King Hyejong without being able to convey this to Hae Soo. He does not know how to properly convey, he can not bear to see Hae Soo disappointed, marginalized. "Why did the Prince ask again? Did not yesterday ask me to come meet?" Hae Soo starts to know the sense of disappointment with the hidden question, why should he be disappointed?

"Forgive me guilty has made you hope?" Prince Wang So tried to melt the frozen atmosphere, he can catch the disappointment on the sweet face Hae Soo.

"I never expect anything", Hae Soo starts to control herself, she does not want to look like a fool.

"I want to take you to a place", Prince Wang So takes quick action, he leads Hae Soo's step in one direction, a beautiful lake. Both of them placed themselves on the boat, quietly the Prince began to embrace the oars. The feelings of raging as if civil war, but the 4th Prince always put a calm attitude. He will pursue the path of peace. Hae Soo is frightened when with mischievous Prince Wang So deliberately wiggles the body, so the boat shakes.

"Are you afraid? Ha ... ha ... ha .... " The Prince laughed, he began to master the atmosphere.

"Can the Prince paddle faster? The wind will blow harder".

"Are you going to paddle yourself?"

"Is this your boat, The Majesty?" Hae Soo diverts the conversation, she can not rule a prince, even though she loves the wind.

"The first time to this place. Too fun rowing on the lake, so I forgot something else. Rowing boats are always fun", Prince Wang So replied, merging with nature, with water, wind and trees, away from all the palace disputes is always impressive.

"Oddly, the boat is your favorite, but I hardly ever see you rowing it", for a moment Hae Soo gazed into Prince Wang So's handsome face, something hidden beneath the line of the face.

"I love the boat too much, if I do too often, I can not leave the Palace. I deliberately did not want to go ", Prince Wang So looked at Hae Soo, the lady was too quiet, as if able to read the most hidden records deep down.

"How can one turn away from something that is so well liked? However, now The Highness can row back ", actually Hae Soo is waiting for the words promised Prince 4th day ago. However, when not a word is spoken. She chose to be silent, as if the promise never existed.

"Oh yes. Forgive me. I can not keep the promise of our conversation today. I forgot, or I do not know. In time you will understand", Prince Wang So finally able to compose words, he never wanted to disappoint Hae Soo.

"I will always understand", Hae Soo answered without objection. She knew it was not easy to go through a Prince's man.

                                                                                  ***

At night, after her conversation with Hae Soo, Prince Wang So stood on the balcony staring at the star. The sky at night without cloudy, always amazing when thousands of glittering stars share natural light. "Is not marrying a Goryeo princess a child that is not easy?" Choi Ji Mong opens the conversation. Prince Wang So will open a different story sheet when married to the offspring of The Royal Majesty, especially the Princess is not old enough before the wedding. The 4th Prince never loves, he loves a child who will be driven away with uncertain destiny.

"By marrying Princess Goryeo, even though a still a child, the family of Queen Yoo and Shinju must have thought that I would be the King's successor as well as controlling other families. Rangers to The Royal Majesty will be reduced ", Prince Wang So still has another consideration of this sudden marriage.

"The prince's calculation is not wrong, the ability to strengthen a king's position gets better", Choi Ji Mong responded. The Prince only followed his conscience, sparing Princess Goryeo from the persecution of the Khitan Kingdom. This goodness turns out to be better for his position as a prince. "However, there are still things I do not understand. Am I going to be a chained watch dog to protect my elder siblings? So is the fate of the 4th Prince? I'm tired of turning away from what I like, nothing's true", Prince Wang So finally complained, being born prince was not easy. He has to pay his destiny with a very expensive price. When the atmosphere is still, the wind sounds limp.

"How can a dog get rid of the chains?" This time Prince Wang So's voice was heavy, he never played a leading role, he only an accomplice is responsible for the salvation of a king and the whole family. "Under these circumstances, while one will bite the master then take over all that he possesses", Choi Ji Mong seeks to understand Prince Wang So's thoughts.

"Do you suggest rebellion ? An unlikely thing", there was not the slightest intention in Prince Wang So to overthrow King Hyejong then take over the throne. He is not greedy like that.

"Thank you for protecting The Majesty, King Hyejong will not depend on you for long", Choi Ji Mong's words are whispered as if he already knew the end of a story piece, staring up at the sky, star.

                                                                         ***

Prince Wang Wook looks to The Majesty, recites a plea from Wang Kyu in front of the King. "It is a plea that I wrote twice to The Majesty, I am sure Prince So must be exiled from the Palace, Prince Yo's elder brother, disobeying The Majesty ..."  King Hyejong looked at the 8th Prince with a cold face, deeply disappointed. The believer, the Goryeo scholar, wanted the throne, forcing him to surrender it. Of course, he has not been too stupid to obey the grandiose wish.

"The essence of the petition is that I abdicate to you. Wang Wook, you do not have to keep reading it ", The Royal Majesty decapitated the words of Prince Wang Wook, he was indeed in charge of it.

"There seems to be a misunderstanding. I just wanted to help The Majesty reduce the burden”. Prince Wook seems to start losing his intelligence, or he pretends not to know that handing the throne to another prince is almost impossible when a king is still sitting on a throne. The 8th prince starts to be crazy, he is never destined to be the Crown Prince, he can never go straight to the throne. The road is too winding and possibly ends at a dead end.

"No, your words are true. I was planning to share the burden with my brother", The Majesty King quiet voice. King Hyejong did not pass on the words, because the court eunuch conveyed the message that Prince Wang So had asked for time to meet, and he was allowed to enter.

With the uncle of Prince Wang So greeting, "I am willing to marry the First Daughter of Goryeo", the 4th Prince conveys the ability. An attitude that causes the pale face of The Majesty  to shine, he knows Wang So's ability to fight. That marriage meant TheMajesty got trusted allies to strengthen Goryeo from enemy attacks. He could breathe a sigh of relief. While in his place stands Prince Wook stunned, is it true this decision? Why Wang So suddenly had to marry Princess Elder Goryeo, a little girl who has not been able to translate the meaning of marriage and sit side by side with a mature prince. The eighth prince was unable to penetrate Prince Wang So's mind, the two of them hardly ever met for a mere conversation.

"I am grateful for that ability, even though my eldest daughter is still too young and has not been able to bear a descendant. It does not matter if the Eldest Princess Goryeo becomes the 4th Prince's concubine", The Royal Majesty is wise enough to place the title of First Daughter for Prince Wang Wook, he is not old enough to be the first wife. It is enough that the marriage bond becomes an indispensable fellowship.

"Choi Ji Mong has chosen a good day for marriage," Prince Wang So extended a letter to The Majesty King and was graciously accepted.

"Well Wang Wook, I accept your advice. I will share the burden that you do not think I can bear, the throne will I give to Waus son-in-law. Who better than me, except the Fourth Prince? Is not it?" The Majesty King swept the two prince standing in front of him. At the same time Prince Wang So and Wang Wook looked at each other, the two almost jumped, with shock and contrasting feelings. The 4th prince never expected to get the trust continued the throne, while the 8th Prince did not think the throne was even given to the prince who never asked. He is just a poor prince who will get nothing.

"Congratulations on Wang So and First Lady's marriage, hopefully no woman crying for losing a man as powerful as the 4th Prince", Prince Wang Wook quickly determines his attitude, even though his chest is like rumble. Is it true that Prince Wang So has the heart to leave Hae Soo? Prince Wang So glances at Wang Wook, his eyes cynical. He knows the woman in question is Hae Soo. He had never intended to leave the lady, but it was also impossible to let the Eldest Princess Goryeo be evicted from the palace with the worst possible in the Khitan region. He must be wise and show responsibility as Prince Goryeo.

                                                                              ***

Hae Soo looks at Park Soon Duk face closer and closer, Princess General becomes confused. Hae So once said she wanted to make up her face, but the lady did not act, even stared at her constantly. "Before herself, face must be washed and cleaned, so makeup is smooth", finally Hae Soo gives answer, she knows everything to do to show beautiful face nan beautiful. At the same time Prince Wang Jung is also visiting Damiwon, they both get a similar service, lying down with a face mask made by Hae Soo. Pretty soon Prince Baek Ah was present, he came to smell the smell of rose from Wang Jung's face lying, covered with masks.

"Is it true that you used the Bulgarian rose oil I gave it on your birthday?" Prince Baek Ah disbelieved. “Bulgarian rose oil with a face mask in the right dose will cause the skin to be very soft ", Hae Soo replied as she put a mask on Prince Jin Jung's face.

"Jung is a rough and always sword-sword, nothing resulted in wasting expensive Bulgarian oil!" Prince Baek Ah looks annoyed, Hae Soo should have used it for himself. Prince Baek Ah's words cause Prince Wang Jung to be annoyed, but he lies down and can not say. He can not do anything. While Park Soon Duk feels less comfortable lying down for too long, he intends to get up, but Hae Soo immediately reminds, "Until the mask is really dry you should still lie down. The 10th prince will surely be happy with his brighter appearance ", so Park Soon Duk is back lying with a mask attached to her face, until the end of treatment.

True, Prince Wang Jung can see Park Soon Duk's face so much more radiant. Park Soon Duk could not believe, "Is the dull stain gone?" The princess asked.

 "Right", Prince Wang Jung agreed. Neither Park Soon Duk nor the Prince knows, secretly Prince Wang Eun sees the intimacy of the two men, suddenly he must be jealous and show his acid face. He does not want marriage with Park Soon Duk, but why his wife should be familiar with Prince Wang Jung. Prince Wang Eun is increasingly burning when Park Soon Duk appears to be caressing Jung's face.

 "At first His skin was dull, now brighter and firmer," Park Soon Duk said. He was touching Prince Yang Jung's bright face when suddenly Prince Wang Eun arrived.

"There seems to be something special between you two, bright, shining, toned? What does that improper word mean? Disgusting!" Prince Prince Eun's words were filled with jealous fire.

"You always misunderstand my relationship and Hae Soo. Now you're tempting your brother-in-law? At least Hae Soo is not flirtatious like you ", after the marriage was secretly Prince Wang Eun can not forget Hae Soo, his heart was filled with longing and uncertain feelings when it must be coupled with Park Soon Duk as husband and wife. Now the wife seems to love Wang Jung more, why should?

"Simply, stop! You too often cross the line! "Park Soon Duk's anger explodes, he knows Prince Wang Eun never loved him. Or, he failed to get the Prince's love. However, the husband can not feel jealous, for being hospitable with Wang Jung. Why should he be compared to Hae Soo? Park Soon Duk growled with a thousand steps, hurrying down the stairs. When she encounters Hae Soo, her gaze turns as bright as the embers. Prince Wang Eun knows, Park Soon Duk is always easily burned anger. In this case he does not even understand, what So, my brother

which should be done once. Apparently not easy to marry. Had he not been born a prince, should he marry the Princess General?

"You must be inadequate, because I am friendly with Soon Duk, but why should mention Hae Soo. As if everybody is guilty, except for you ", Prince Wang Jung made a sound, an atmosphere that was comfortably changed as if it were a spark in an instant.

"Just as a husband always keeps his wife's feelings instead of provoking outrage", Hae Soo sounds the same tone, but Prince Wang Eun feels no need to respond.

"Marriage is a matter of no benefit. Wang Jung, I warn you to live alone does not need to be caught in a marriage bond. So Hyungnim should also cancel the marriage before it is properly trapped inside it", Prince Wang Eun's tongue feels bitter, he can not step back while the days ahead are increasingly unpleasant.

"What? So Hyungnim is getting married?" Prince Wang Jung is shocked, so does Hae Soo.

"So you do not know yet? So Hyungnim will marry the First Daughter of Goryeo, he will become the King's son-in-law. The ceremony is about to take place ... " Prince Wang Eun has yet to finish the words, Hae Soo immediately step aside. Her ears seemed stung by thousands of bees. Hae Soo away from all the conversations in Damiwon, she did not think it was Prince Wang So with the heart to leave her. After long months, beautiful birthdays, encounters in the odd Tower of Hope, because the Prince is oblivious to the words to be spoken. It all ends with the marriage of a prince and princess. She is just a lady who deserves to be abandoned. Hae Soo remembered the agitated face of Prince Wang So at the last meeting, presumably he was hiding something that would change the destiny of living forever, marriage with the princess. Hae Soo takes a deep breath, should she feel left out? Should she cry, because of loss? Did not he want marriage with Prince Wang So? It turns out the Prince's latest news quietly hurt her heart.

Soon after that figure that blocked in Hae Soo's mind appeared, the lady pretended not to notice the presence of Prince Wang So. He does not know where to open the conversation. Prince Wang So ventured to meet Hae Soo, he had to deliver the news that was not easily conveyed. When he saw the dark on that beautiful face, he knew Hae Soo had known what had happened. "You must hate and blame me, I accept everything", Prince Wang So opened the conversation.

"Do I have reason to hate or blame?" Hae Soo asks, she does not want to get caught in a complicated situation, not easy to establish a relationship with a prince. Things are not easy.

"I never promised to free you from the life of the palace, it turns out I denied it", the voice was irritated.

 "You never even explain what the reason?" One thought raging as though war on Hae Soo's head, why suddenly Prince Wang So had to marry the Princess Eldest Goryeo?

"Too much I make a problem that ends with hurting you. Whatever the reason you did not trust me. What should I say?" Prince Wang So admitted to mistakes, he had trouble making the right words. Even the marriage he decided with all his conscience silently hurt him. If he had many choices? Silence hanging, worried. The two peoples seemed to have been separated in a span of distance that is not far together in the sentence. However, Hae Soo must understand, she does not need to ask anymore. The lady held back her sobs as she finished the conversation, "Congratulations for his marriage ..." without waiting for Hae Soo's answer to walk away, there is a gape at the end of the heart. Why? Why should she feel lost when Prince Wang So will marry the First Lady Goryeo? How long does she have to wait for the real answer to the reason?

Hae Soo does not have to wait long, because Prince Baek Ah comes to meet in the room where he works. "What are you doing?" The Prince asks.

 "I'm fine", Hae Soo tries to smile, no one has the right to know her heart.

Prince Baek Ah held out a letter, "From Wang So, this letter will make you understand. What is that reason?"

Prince Baek Ah can read Hae Soo's hoarse face, the lady is grief-stricken. "As the lake water dries up, wait on the edge, and the sky starts to cloud", Hae Soo reads the contents of the letter written by Prince Wang So.

"That is Wang Wei's poem, Self-Exile at Zhongnan Mountain", Prince Baek Ah explained.

"I did not think he could write this beautiful. It's just too little I know about Prince So. I misunderstood, I should be able to understand it, I'm too stupid for that", Hae Soo must understand, she must be wise knacks, Prince Wang So. He does not have to feel dumped.

"What I'm sure is, So seriously intend to leave the palace with you", Prince Baek Ah knows the war that rages in the head of this lady, he felt obliged to calm Hae Soo.

                                                                    ***

Toward the day of royal marriage, Prince Wang So and Princess Eldest Goryo are facing King Hyejong. Above The Majesty's throne can sit quietly, the marriage while strengthening its right to the throne. Prince Wang So is a reliable ally. What else to worry about? While Hae Soo still can not cope with the loss, she consoled herself by reading over and over the poems written by Prince Wang So. Rereading the words of the Prince:

"It is difficult for me to be a messenger, despite having more freedom. While on duty, I always think about you. I want to live happily with you, with nothing to disturb me. It does not matter to me to be king or not ... "

Finally Prince Wang So can see The Majesty King sleep more soundly, without being haunted by anxiety. While Hae Soo is still plagued by a sense of loss, she deliberately writes Prince Wang So's poem on pages of paper. After long and beautiful days it was not easy to overcome the sense of loss, she was completely abandoned. After Wang Wook, now Wang So ....

                                                                    ***

Prince Wang Jung intends to meet Queen Yoo's mother, asks a lady, "Is there a mother?"

The waiter in question immediately deters, "Queen Yoo has ordered, no one should enter the private room when she was praying".

"I was worried, having gone too long ", Prince Wang Jung denied. However, the waiter kept blocking. As she glanced toward the door, Prince Wang Jung's eyes saw a pair of shoes. He did not need to care about the waiter who forbade him to enter. The prince's eyes almost jumped out of the eyelids as he saw a figure in the queen's queen's private room. Prince Wang Yo. Did not Yo fall two years ago from a cliff when fighting with Wang So? The whole kingdom thinks the 3rd Prince is gone, it turns out he is back to the palace in good health.

"Are not you a commander now? Why still cowardly? "Prince Wang Yo mocked his surprise. He can see clearly on Wang Jung's face line.

"Do not be surprised, the mother originally intended to tell. It is the will of Heaven your brother is still alive. The sky is on the mother's side", Queen Yoo's face lights up, Prince Wang Yo's life means a path stretching toward the throne. Mo is too weak to sit on the throne.

"Why are you pretending to be dead?" Prince Wang Jung's voice was blasting, Queen Yoo is shocked, widening a pair of eyes.

"I've been punished as a traitor, better pretend to be dead, disappear from court life. Without Uncle Wang Sik Ryeom's help, I must be dead", Prince Wang Yo explained.

"I will beg the King to forgive and take you back as a prince like your previous position. I've worked hard for him, and the King is a kind person. The Majesty will grant me my wishes", finally Prince Wang Jung can control himself.

"Restoring my position? I am the one who wants to seize the throne. Wang Mo will kill me if I know I'm still alive. And do you not know yet, Wang So shall married the eldest Princess Goryeo?" Said Wang Yo's voice, mother always burning, the throne is his right, even though King Hyejong has occupied it.

"It seems that The Majesty wants to surrender the throne to Wang So," Queen Yoo is really worried about it, it's really scary when the 4th Prince becomes king. She does not want the presence of Wang So.

"I also opposed if So Hyungnim became king, but I can not take sides if you plan to rebel against the King. One rebellion alone is enough ", Prince Wang Jung expressed his attitude.

"You are really foolish, if the rebellion succeeds, its name is no longer a betrayal. I, Wang Yo will sit as king", the eyes of Prince Wang Yo fiery, he had indeed burned the brightness of the queen mother. "If we serve the King, we may be brothers, but in case of rebellion. I can not remain silent", Prince Wang Jung did not change his attitude even though Wang Yo could sit on the throne through bloodshed.

"Wang Mo is crazy, he always fantasize about the scary thing. Reportedly he killed a villain in his room with one attack, it turns out he was delusional and proven to kill the lady. Wang Mo did not deserve to be King as well as someone who was chosen as a substitute. Do you want to hand Goryeo's fate into their hands? Is that true what you want?" Prince Wang Yo looked at Prince Jung's face deeply. This time Jung is only silent.

                                                                     ***

Prince Wang So is now in charge of guarding the court environment, The Royal Majesty forbids everybody out of and come to palace at night, without exception. Capture anyone who violates this command. That night Prince Wang Jung accidentally stepped out of the palace and hid, spry Prince Wang So and all the guard followed.

"I'm sure Prince Jung goes to Damiwon, there is no other possibility. Do we have to break the door?" The security commander asked.

 At the same time Hae Soo comes out of the room, asking, "Why is it noisy in this place? Damiwon is not a place that can be visited at any time. Better leave this place", said Hae Soo's voice.

"A man climbs up the palace wall, sneaks into Damiwon. We have to search your room", Prince Wang So's voice is no less resolute.

"Just reading now, nobody goes to Damiwon. Better looking elsewhere", Hae Soo insisted with her words.

"Dingle the whole of Damiwon! "Prince Wang So does not need to listen to Hae Soo's words.

"I am a high-ranking lady at Damiwon, serving the King. No man can search my room", Hae Soo refuses to give up, she looks at Prince Wang So with cold eyes. She harbored a deep sense of disappointment.

"Get away, I'll check it myself," Prince Wang So takes firm action. Ha Soo immediately pulls out a hair clamp with a pointed tip, ready to burrow in the neck.

"You may not enter, this room belongs to an unmarried woman. I'd rather die than bear this kind of humiliation. If searching Damiwon's ladies' headroom, ask for approval from the King. Nothing but", Hae Soo is not in the least bit afraid to face Prince Wang So, she scratches the neck with hair clips.

"Are you sure, no one is hiding in your room?" Prince Wang So looked suspiciously.

"No!" Hae Soo stood unmoved.

"Purging another place", Prince Wang So gave orders, the troop troupe moved to leave Damiwon. One step after that Prince Wang Jung seemed to scream when he saw Hae Soo return to the room. The lady chief sits limply, "Keep your voice on, maybe the guards are still outside", Hae Soo knows she has a lethal bet on the suspicion of Prince Wang So. This time she won, she could play Prince Wang So for Prince Wang Jung.

"Your neck is wounded, why should you do it?" Prince Wang Jun feels anxious with the scratches on Hae Soo's neck. The lady is capable of injuring her own neck to hide it.

"If they insist on searching in, then I must do it", Hae Soo thinks the wound is nothing.

 "Why should it go this far? why do not you let me get caught?" Prince Wang Jung feels himself guilty.

"Why be sorry? Your relationship with the 4th Prince is not as good as it used to be. Avoid further wrangling", Hae Soo gives a reason.

"Are you going to do the same thing if that hide in somebody else's place?" Prince Wang Jung asked, Hae Soo unable to answer, he looks nervous.

"If that happened tonight is that one of my brothers, will you do the same thing?"

Prince Wang Jung again asks, "Yes, I must do the same thing", Hae Soo leans back on the bed, suddenly feeling tired.

"If we fight, who will you side with?" Prince Wang Jung still asked.

 "Why should I take sides? I'd rather be a mediator", Hae Soo replied.

"Do you still think us princes will be as hospitable as they were then, gathered together at the House of the Prince of the 8th? One occasion often comes only once, then sinks forever. The Majesty King Taejo has passed away, things are changing. You must take sides", Prince Wang Jung stated the truth.

"It's late, sleep. Leave Damiwon when things are safe outside. Once again I assert, I am not taking sides with anyone. I do not want anybody hurt, blood spilled ", Hae Soo gives the real answer. This time Prince Wang Jung is silent, there is a very impressive in this lady. Too special, so it was difficult to translate.

Neither Hae Soo nor Prince Wang Jung had ever known, Prince Wang So did not really believe in the firmness of Damiwon's lady chief. He stood at one point, listening to all the talk. Dark night hides the red face of the Prince, for holding back anger. In Prince Wang Jung's room sees Hae Soo still asleep in a sitting state without a blanket. The colder air biting the pores, Prince Wang Jung spent a night unimaginable for a lifetime, staying in Damiwon's ladies' room, for avoiding siblings. Prince Wang Jung covered Hae Soo's tiny body with a blanket, outside the night swooping up black, deeper.

                                                                     ***

The next day Hae Soo returns to work, when suddenly Prince Wang So comes , pulled him out of Damiwon. "Is not Jung hiding in your room last night?" The 4th prince really wants Hae Soo's confession.

 "No," Hae Soo replied briefly.

"Why should you hide Wang Jung?" This time Prince Wang So can hide anger.

"Why do you give a reason with poetry, not the real cause? Why suddenly get married? Is it true, because the throne? Greed?" Hae Soo burst out anger too.

"The eldest daughter of Goryeo's eldest will be sent to Khitan as a small bride, or actually going to be a prisoner. With that marriage The Majesty hoped that Khitan became an ally rather than an enemy. The young princess will experience the torment as I have ever felt. There is only one way out, I am a servant of  King Hyejong willing to marry her. One thing you should know, a Prince Goryeo must marry Princess Elder Hyengjong without loving her ", it is not easy for Prince Wang So to explain, but it should be.

"This should be your reasoning from the beginning ", all of Hae Soo's chest thundered back. She did not realize why to be angry, she did not realize where the anger came from?

"You would not want me to have more than one wife, I do not have enough words to give a reason",  Prince Wang So looked at the beautiful face, his heart still vibrates.

"True, Prince Jung was at Damiwon last night, he practiced self-defense, forget the curfew rule. Nothing happened other than that ", Hae Soo finally recognizes the existence of Prince Wang Jung.

"As of today, I hope there is no more lies, whatever the reason. There is nothing to hide among us", Prince Wang So made the covenant.

"What if there is something we can not say? What should we do?" Hae Soo asks.

"Better say what is the result of lies?" Prince Wang So replied, he was faced with a complicated exit, and he did not want to lose either.

“Good, no lie and so should ", Hae Soo agrees.

"So, enough is your anger?" Prince Wang So asked.

"Is the Prince sorry for the marriage?" Hae Soo does not answer, but asks back.

"What should I regret after deciding with awareness?" Prince Wang So shook his head, he had to protect the royal family. No other choice, the Eldest Princess Goryeo has been escorted to the Temple of Gaetasa, in accordance with the agreement before marriage.

"Thou once conveyed, bound to someone. Is he Wang Jung?" Prince Wang So asked.

"No", Hae So smiles while shaking her head too.

"When rowing a boat, there should be something important you want to say. Actually there is nothing really forgotten, a prince just pretending to forget is not it?" Hae Soo asked back.

"Right, things change very suddenly. I lost my words, when I had to confess, I love you", Prince Wang Soo kept his promise not to lie, and that made the burden of his chest subsided. Smile expands on the face of Damiwon's lady's head, now Hae Soo knows how the Prince  So. A well-known character, but has a deep sense of compassion to the eldest daughter of Goryeo. Hae Soo is not making a mistake, while giving a kiss to Prince Wang So. An act that caused the 4th Prince to be both surprised and flattered. Without a lot of words, the two now mutually conspire the conscience, understand each other to the figure that became a place to lean.

                                                                                 ***

 Prince Baek Ah leaves the palace, steps into the woods, in silence he closes his eyes, imagining as if Woo Hee is practicing. Feeling longing to hurt, he had to swallow a bitter taste when left alone. If the sword dancer is in this forest, Prince Baek Ah continues to fantasize, drifting away in the mood of longing. When he opened his eyes, the Prince was shocked, Woo Hee's figure was behind him. "Is all this not a dream?" Prince Baek Ah asked.

"After the separation, I always think about you. I hope my scratch lesions have not healed properly. Thus, you will always remember me", the figure of Wo Hee is not a dream, the girl is really there and was saying. Prince Baek Ah's longing waved like a rumble of ocean waves, he could not stop himself from embracing the lanky body. A moment later the Dancer sobbed, she was tormented by a similar yearning that had secretly hurt him.

"I can not visit, afraid to make your heart sad", this time Prince Baek Ah never wanted to let go of Woo Hee, both of them let go of longing and hugging.

                                                                         ***

Prince Wang Wook sat silent on his own, his face as ice packs in winter, as if he were drawing up a plan. Soon Prince Won came, saying, "A guest wants to meet".

Prince Wang Wook has not had time to think, who has the intention of meeting today? When suddenly Prince Wang Yo's figure flashed in. "Long time we have not met", Prince Wang Yo's words caused Prince Wook's blood to melt, in surprise. Did not Wang Yo have long died after being wounded in the hands of Prince Wang So then fell to the bottom of the cliff. Why did he come back in a fit state?

"I heard you told Won to put mercury into Damiwon baths. It turns out that the smartest person is the most frightening person", Prince Wang Yo quipped, Wang Wook was supposed to want the death of The Majesty King.

" Do you still not understand, I am the one who is always faithful. I can not betray the third brother”, Prince Wang Won interjected.

"There seems to be a lot of things to say", Prince Wang Wook remained calm, serenity was his strength.

 "Of course I have too many things to say, one night is not enough time to talk about," Prince Wang Yo replied. The results of talks that took more than a night to go to a day that was both shocking and bloody. It was when Prince Wang Yo and the chosen soldiers crashed into the royal palace, attacking the guards with stretches of arrows.

Finally all in. Damiwon, all the servants screamed in fear, nobody suspected one day Damiwon will be hit by soldiers who are ready to kill. "Find the King!" Prince Wang Yo gave the order. At the same time, in a different place Queen Yoo blocked Prince Wang Jung's steps, "You can go after stepping over my corpse", the queen's chest vibrates, he knows what Wang Yo is doing. Should Wang Jung fight on behalf of The Majesty King?

"I must protect The Majesty",  Prince Wang Jung insisted, he knows how The Majesty is very weak and how greedy Wang Yo.

 "You think I can see the youngest blood?" Queen Yoo's face is as hard as granite, she really worries about Wang Jung's safety. She does not want Wang Yo or Wang Jung to be a victim.

 "Wang Jung, your brother must be king, whatever the way, things will be back to normal. Goryeo will be solid and peaceful, or do you want to see your mother dead?" Queen Yoo's eyes were as bright as the embers. The red coat looked at Wang Jung so close without apology, then | The Prince was silent a thousand languages.

In the bathing pool Damiwon The Majesty  just finished soaking, strange his face looked so pale. The face became paler, when suddenly there was a rush, a flock of troops ready for battle. Hae Soo and Chae Ryung look at each other, the face looks scared and anxious. Suddenly The Majesty  coughed and then drooped, he looked very weak. Hae Soo panic, increasingly panic when The Majesty's mouth spews fresh blood. King Hyejong is injured in, Char Ryung fears, she does not have enough courage to see the suffering of the King to the limit. When the warrior come, Hae Soo away from The Majesty King, the lady's chief screamed.

"Let go, who orders you?!" above Hae Soo's head as if the sky trembles before the collapse, she never suspects the terrible event today in Damiwon. As Prince Wang Yo's reply appears, Hae Soo's throat is choked. Is not the 3rd Prince gone? While The Majesty King experienced a similar shock, after reportedly killed at the bottom of the cliff, now Prince Wang Yo suddenly present in the pool of Damiwon baths. As the Third Prince walked closer, The Royal Highness wished, Wang Yo would save him. Was the hope of The Royal Highness fulfilled? May the last day for King Hyejong have arrived, with the cold stare of Prince Wang Yo's blade loosening the hand of The Royal Majesty, then crouching down. Without compassion Prince Wang Yo pushed the King Majesty into the bathing pool. Hae Soo has to deal with a terrible moment when Death joins King Hyejong by force, in the name of Prince Wang Yo's greed. Helplessly The Majesty tried to save himself, but the Third Prince seemed to have the authority to determine this day of death. Behind Chae Ryung's hiding place witnessed the killing of a king with her knees drooping as if she had lost her bones. She was stabbed with deep regret, but what can she do? She is only a lady. Death seemed to have picked up the lady as she slowly watched as King Hyejong sank to the bottom of the pool without a pair of hands being able to save.

"Save The Majesty .... !!" Hae Soo's screams blend with sobs, why should she witness the cruelty of a prince who will kill a king, because of the greed of the throne? The scream of the lady's head did not change anything, as if the wind had fallen on the mountaint.

The Majesty  a pair of eyes, in vain reject death. His whole body is not just sick, but limp without power. With very little hope he reached out to Prince Wang Yo's violent face. In response the 3rd Prince smiled coldly. He had long expected this death, he knew how to decide the last day for King Hyejong. If death came with more modesty, but The Majesty should become more and more painful when the water enters the lungs, his breath is strangled, slowly but surely the eyes are getting blurred and wounded. His destiny as a king drove him to a miserable death, he did not live as long as his father, King Taejo's  Wang Geon. He had to pay his position as king at a very expensive price, when finally the air could no longer support the lungs, when with the pain of soul release from the body. The Majesty King finally saw his body floating on the surface of Damiwon's bathing pool.

 'I was dead ...'

"Hyungnim, you are doomed to suffer, sick throughout life that is also covered with fear and ends floundering on the surface of the pool. Had the deceased father known your life would end like this, should he choose you to be king?" Prince Wang Yo talk to himself, he has done the most severe acts as a prince. To end the life of the elder brother - The Majesty King - thus, he is entitled already to the throne.

By the pool Hae Soo baths fall, because of deep sorrow. Why should she arrive today? When a cold hand a prince is able to kill a brother-who temporarily reigns as king, because of greed? Hae Soo can not look at Prince Wang Yo's face, the face of death. The face thought to have become dust, but now lives again to spread death. The face of a prince who is not willing to accept two defeats. Then as it stretched like a gallows, the air blistered until Prince Wang So came with a burst of rage, his sword flashing through the prisoners of Prince Wang Yo without mercy. He came a few feet late, he could not save the life of The Royal Highness. He has made a mistake, can he forgive himself. Prince Wang So's eyes widened as he looked into Prince Wang Yo's eyes, he thought the 3rd Prince had long died at the bottom of a cliff after being deeply wounded.

 "So, stop !!" loudly voices Prince Wang Yo's voice, he knows the greatness of Wang So in drawing the sword, no soldier can fight.

Choi Ji Mong come in a slow state, he hurriedly threw himself into the pool, if still can save The King. Tears of the star expert immediately poured as he hugged the body of the King's Majesty. "Wake up  The Majesty .... Open Eye ... " Choi Ji Mong is not ashamed to cry as if the boy lost. The Majesty passed away haphazardly if he were to stay nearby, would this death have to happen? The  King Hyejong has gone so far, he can still see his rough body floating in the cry of Choi Ji Mong, he can still see Prince Wang So rampaging the sword blade , Hae Soo is sad and frightened, and Prince Wang Yo's ruthless face. However, he can not do anything. I can even float over the pool of Damiwon baths. His body is loadless, as light as cotton. From Chae Ryung's hideout watching this feud, the king's body starts to freeze and soaked in Choi Ji Mong's arms. Her chest thundered like a wave of ocean waves, she was too dumb to understand all this. Why did The Majesty have to be dying in the pool of Damiwon baths? Why? Chae Ryung has never been able to answer this question, she is just a lady. She took a thousand steps to compose herself.

"I did not kill him, Wang Mo has been poisoned for a long time. Hae Soo, this lady accidentally put mercury into the King's bath pool ", Prince Wang Yo gloated his tongue to free himself from Wang So. He will not win against the 4th Prince, even though he is older.

 "The King  only permits you to prepare the baths. We found mercury in the bath pool, why did this happen?" Prince Wang Won reinforces Prince Wang Yo's charges against Hae Soo, he has determined his attitude. Hae Soo stood swaying, as if a piece of meat was ready to be chopped up by two blades at once, could she save herself from this accusation? Had she not seen with his own eyes, Prince Wang Yo buried The Majesty King after vomiting blood until death dreadfully? Now the greedy prince accused her of being a murderer, for the reason of mixing mercury into the bathing pool water.

 "I do not know anything about mercury", Hae Soo defends herself.

 "Wang So, you have two choices, remain faithful to Wang Mo who is dead with the consequences of dying like this lady, or kneel before me and save her", Prince Wang Yo gave two difficult choices. "Of course, Soo's crime poisoned the King, will still be followed up. Every time I can impose the death penalty for killing the King ", Prince Wang Yo affirms, Hae Soo is a key witness of The Majesty's death, she must have one way to get rid of. Soo Just a lady, too easy to sacrifice.

"Let go of Hae Soo, now!" Said Prince Wang So, he does not need to believe Wang Yo's words, he knows who the 3rd Prince is. He still has the courage and reason to fight Wang Yo.

"True wolves will remain faithful to their partners until the day of death. So, you're one of those wolves. Choose, the dead Soo or King?" Prince Wang Yo challenged Wang So, the two brothers now standing on the borderline that is too difficult to explain, comrades or opponents. At a very short distance Hae Soo silenced, she was being sacrificed as a scapegoat . In the name of Prince Wang Yo's greed can do anything, Prince Wang Won supports he. She is just a slave without power. Hae Soo feels time seems to freeze, the sky moans and then collapses scattered.
