Hae Soo is pensive
in the palace of Damiwon Palace, she can not be sure, whether she will be able
to stay longer in the palace as the king's lover. True, she got the love of a
king. One thing that Queen Goryeo would never have had. However, death after
death has been witnessed. King Taejo dies in old age with anxiety over the fate
of Goryeo, as the princes fight over the throne. King Wang Mo was killed in the
hands of Prince Wang Yo. Prince Wang Eun and Park Seon Duuk were killed in
blood by King Wang Yo's orders. Finally, King Wang Yo died murdered fear of all
mistakes. Death after death is very heartbreaking. Now, Chae Ryung is a poor
lady who has been recognized as a sibling, because the goodness and innocence
of her attitude go forever after the horrible death sentence. Is it true that
the poor lady is a traitor? Chae Ryung is too stupid to be interested. Some are
crushed and sultry in the recesses of the heart, then Hae Soo just paused,
wondering what should be done?
"Why sit
outside? Are not you not too healthy? Come back to the room", suddenly The
Royal Majesty came, persuaded, he knew the heart in the heart of the
sweetheart. His hand reached out, "I have been waiting to speak".
"I will not go
back to that room", Hae Soo felt unable to settle back in the room of the
king's lover. One thing has bothered her.
"Still
mourning, due to Chae Ryung's death? The lady is obviously betraying you,
hiding a lot of things, she has never been honest with you, not even", The
Royal Majesty believes to have properly punished a traitor.
Hae Soo closed her
eyes, not easy to forget the day of grief. The day when she had to see Chae
Ryung as a corpse that fell flat with blood. Still clinging to her memory as
the two pray, Chae Ryung holds her hand and says, "I'm fine". She
seemed to feel the hand of the lady holding it. Chae Ryung a waiter with a
sincere heart.
"Chae Ryung is
a lady with a sincere heart. She is not a traitor ", said Hae Soo sure
with her conscience
"Which is more
you believe, a loving monarch or a treacherous court lord?" The King could
not understand why the death of a lady could cause the lover a loss of heart?
"I'm not a strong
woman enough to remain in court after death for death", Hae Soo does not
really understand which way to go? However, she would not be able to see the
blood spilt again. Is the power of a king to be gained by imposing the death
penalty?
"If you were
not a man strong enough to be the king's lover, who else could be my beloved?
Could you leave me alone? And do you think I'll be silent to let you go?"
The King's face was wistful, no one in Goryeo made him comfortable, except Hae
Soo. Now the lover is overwhelmed with grief that may end by leaving the
beautiful room given as a gift. The Majesty knows what all this means, he will
be thrown alone among the always lurking enemies wanting his destruction. When
Hae Soo's shadow flashed away, the wind seemed to die.
The wind remained
dead when King Wang So set foot in Hae Soo's empty room with no occupants. The
walls of the room are silent and laugh. He never knew of a person like Hae Soo
in this day, a young woman who dared to act and expressed her attitude. Her
beauty shimmered behind a peaceful heart, but soon became inflamed when
wounded. The King was buffeted by a sense of emptiness, he had acted firmly, so
that this beautiful room became empty without any inhabitants.
While in the bath of
Queen Yeon Hwa's palace was refreshing bathing water-flowered water like the
usual thing done by Queen Yoo. Aroma scent provides a comfortable atmosphere,
for a moment the queen closed her eyes, she has been at the highest position as
a woman of the Kingdom of Goryeo. There is one more thing to do, so that will rule
again. The words of The King repeated: "If you want to bear a crown
prince, can you betray Wang Wook, Queen Hwangbo, and the whole family?"
Momentary view of
Queen Yeon Hwa dreamy away, the scent of flowers still lie spoil all over her
beautiful and beautiful. The Royal King offers a difficult and painful
offering, can she betray Prince Wook, mother of the queen, and the whole
family? Or will she never give birth to a crown prince? This throne means
nothing, she is a queen, but never gets the love of a king. Without a crown
prince, she will never become a queen mother. Even though it is hard, The King
has given a gap, one day the born son will be the owner of Goryeo. The view of
the queen was still far away, she had got so far step, has gone very far and can
not come back. She will continue this step for the future of Goryeo, she will
never get the love of a king. However, she has the future of a crown prince.
***
Hae Soo gives a
parcel and asks Ji Mong to give Chae Ryung's Family, because that's all she has
now and if they need anything else to eat will try to make it happen. "You
do not have to do this. I am afraid you will make the King angry", Ji Mong
said.
"Chae Ryung
worried about her family even on the day of her death. So she asked for my
help. The king will not mind", said Hae Soo sure.
When Wang Won came
into the room invited all his themes to come in, then Hae Soo stare
sarcastically at Wang Won to tell Chae Ryung has died. Wang Won seemed
unconcerned and pretended to know about it. "You should not be that calm.
It's all your fault".
Hae Soo is angry,
Wang Won denies it while accusing Hae Soo's crazy. "You'll regret it, by
treating Chae Ryung that way. Just look at it someday you will regret it",
said Hae Soo.
"Since you
became the King's savings ... then you do more as you please. Really?" Sneered
Wang Won, Ji Mong who heard looks surprised as Hae Soo.
Hae Soo meets Wang
So who asked her to come. Wang So said he heard from Ji Mong and will make Hae
Soo a royal concubine. Hae Soo refuses, Wang So thinks it's better than being a
mistress and does not like the word. "You'll be treated as the second wife
by the Queen alone. Once you have a child, you will become the second
queen", clearly Wang So.
"The reason I
want to go from this place is not because of that title", said Hae Soo.
"Discuss with
Ji Mong and pick the title you want", Wang So replied, Hae Soo just keeps
it dry.
"Stop stubborn.
We do not argue anymore. Do you forget how long we have to separate each other?
Do not waste our relationship just because of trivial arguments", said
Wang Soo holds Hae Soo's hand, while Hae Soo can only be silent.
Wang Wook finds out
that Wang So will read, The Principles of Governance in Zhenguan Zhenyao's
Leadership so do not know what to plan and then ask Wang Won to find a hawk
that is good at hunting and very agile. "I do not know what the King
planned. He seems to want to hunt. Then I have to follow the way the game
is", Wang Wook said.
"Hyungnim, you
know yourself our 4th brother. You can never trust him or stop alerting him.
Then you must cut his limbs", Wang Won said.
"What do you
mean Baek Ah?" Wang Wook asked confusedly.
"He's in touch
with Gisaeng from Gyobang. It would have been easier to get rid of him from the
King", clearly Wang Won seemed to want to invite his brother, Wang Wook
was silent.
***
Baek Ah and Woo Hee
are walking together, struck by Baek Ah who is astonished at Woo Hee for
hesitating again, when they have made Woo Hee legitimately adopted and her
mother is eager to meet her future mate. "Is it because of what yesterday,
right? I have advised the King to free all slaves from Hubaekje. It will never
happen again", said Baek Ah convincing.
Woo Hee suddenly
shocked by all those who remembered and died with bloodshed, on their chest
written --Runaway slave-- Some
people wondered. "Why the people of Hubaekje not paying taxes? Why are
they trying to escape?" Baek Ah takes her away, but Woo Hee looks very
angry.
Ji Mong tells that
the Baekje slaves have burned 10 houses of the ranks, and there are many
members of the ruling family who have died so they can not remain silent. Wang
Wook said that if his family wants the King to send a soldier, "If we send
the soldiers, there will be bloodshed and that will continue to happen. If
there is a commoner joining them, then this nation will be in turmoil", Firmly
Wang So.
"You must
protect the ruling families first. Their lives are in danger, and you have not
helped them yet. They are now looking for private soldiers", clearly Wang
Wook.
"Yes, The
Majesty .... You must protect the ruling family that is the foundation of this
nation", said the prime minister of Wang Wook's family.
"Then .... the
soldiers must use the spear without knives and wooden swords. I'm new to King
and want to avoid bloodshed as much as I can", said Wang So.
"I recommend
the 13th Prince Baek Ah who leads the warrior", advises Prince Wang Wook
with the awareness of Baek Ah not mastering the science of war.
"Prince Baek Ah
does not master the science of war, he will be wretched if it should lead the
soldiers", Choi Ji Mong shocked, the 8th Prince has no idea make sense.
While King Wang So was not lost. "There are temporary opinions His Majesty
does not pay attention to the indigenous people of Goryeo, more concerned with
the people of Baekje and the people of Silla who are the origin of Baek Ah's
family. Did not Baekje have made Baekje women adopted in the Goryeo people's
family in order to marry her", Prince Wang Wook insisted that Baeh Ah lead
the soldier.
"I have given
Baek Ah permission to marry Woo Hee", replied King Wang So, his eyebrows
furrowed, he began to wonder what was really in Wook's mind?
"It could also
mean that someone close to The Majesty is being overrun by someone from
Baekje," Prince Wang Wook insisted on cornering Baek Ah, unaware of how
much he was leading the way to the cliff. Prince Baek Ah a friend to The King.
"It does not
make sense", The Royal Highness denied.
"The
unreasonable thing can happen after the fruit of mouth", Prince Wang Wook
has not surrendered. At the same time, Prince Baek Ah came to see the king.
"Baek Ah can
only hold a musical instrument, can he possibly use a sword?" The king
could not imagine how the fate of the 13th Prince with the blade of a sword in
battle.
"Someone can be
suspicious, because he does not like Woo Hee, he really comes from Baekje,
while this situation causes the king's position to be difficult," the 13th
Prince voiced, deep down he was worried about something.
"It would be
nice if I led the soldiers," King Wang So argued, he was better able on
the battlefield than Baek Ah.
"If The Majesty
sided among the ruling family or slaves then things would get worse", Choi
Ji Mong thought of the possibilities when a king is directly involved in
handling disputes.
"I will not
die. If we remain silent, then the palace will be controlled by high-ranking
families, The Majesty's throne can be threatened. I will be fine ", Prince
Baek Ah approves of Prince Wang Wook's challenge, he is not a coward who is
afraid to die, though only able to hold the instrument of music. The Prince's
13th answer made King Wang So stunned. He doubts the safety of Baek Ah,
although the prince does not feel anxious about his safety. A moment later The
King took a deep breath, occupying the throne not as glorious as he had
imagined, he was directly responsible for one's life.
***
Prince Baek Ah helps
tie Woo Hee's hair and then attaches a brace, "Do you really regret that
decision?" Woo Hee asked, she has been in difficult circumstances, her
death life is at stake.
"I'm just
pretending to be strong, no one knows what will happen later", the 13th
Prince sees an overcast hanging, but he has lost his shelter.
"You will have
a wife, I hope you come back safe. I do not want to be a widow", Woo Hee
knows the meaning of fighting for a music player, the life of a beloved heart is at
stake. The heart of the Baekje girl became nervous.
"When I get
back, we'll get married soon, we'll always be together forever", as the heart
of Prince Baek Ah kisses Woo Hee, there is nothing more desirable than marrying
a choice girl.
"Wish I was not
from Baekje. With all my heart, I will always live with you ", Woo Hee
replied deep in the heart of the heart, she has hidden something. Some slaves
look ready to fight, carrying guns. Seen an announcement taped to all Baekje.
"I, King
Goryeo, promised the people of Baekje migrants. Slaves will not be attacked. Therefore
... I will make sure they are treated fairly. All those forced into slavery
will be released. The commoners who are forced into slavery will also be
released. This policy will be applied strictly. The detained slaves will be
repatriated to their place of origin. They will be exempt from tax for a while.
You will not be discriminated against by your birthplace. You may work as
government officials. And will be a citizen of Goryeo", Wang So was
deliberately making an announcement to avoid bloodshed. But a slave feels it has been heard many times
false promises and will not be fooled even treat them like a dog and a pig so
better to take him. All the way to the palace.
Baek Ah is getting
ready then a soldier gives a sword, but just holding him makes the sword fall
from his hand. Wang Jung came with his armour. Baek Ah is shocked to see his brother
who came for being sentenced to exile and maybe his head will be cut off.
"Just tell the King I am here, because I'm not afraid." Wang Jung
said not afraid.
"I told you he
would put you in a position difficult. He should", Wang Jung complained to
pair the armour.
"Please do not
die. You can come back here with injuries. But do not die. I can not bear to
see death anymore", Wang Jung asks whether he has received Hae Soo's gift
sent to him. Wang Jung asks if it means Hair accessory, Baek Ah nods. Wang Jung
said that he accepted it but did not know what it meant because there was no
letter. Baek Ah said that Hae Soo asked to tell Wang Jung directly.
"She said, I
want it", Said Baek Ah.
"You said, I want it "? Did Hae Soo really say that?
Wang Jung does not believe.
Baek Ah justifies, "
Hae Soo ... desperately wants it. That's the message. I do not know what she
wants .... But help her. I do not know what will happen to me. But you must
remain a good friend to Hae Soo and also a Friend to the King. He is also in
trouble", Baek Ah said.
"Do you have to
worry about other people now? Here's no one who wants to say goodbye to you
before you leave", Wang Jung then asked the existence of a lady from
Gyobang, Wang Jung told Woo Hee not to come. Wang Jung told his brother to take
good care of himself and then leave.
At that moment some
soldiers seemed to be staring at the ceiling. Baek Ah sees a long white cloth
on the wall bearing the Three Kingdom Unification - Goryeo, Baekje, and Silla
and Woo Hee in the uppermost tower. Some of the men from Baekje come in wanting
to start attacking but are shocked by Woo Hee and begging her down because
there can not be up there. Baek Ah gets up to want to approach Woo Hee, but Woo
Hee warns Baek Ah not to dare to step. Baek Ah waves so Woo Hee does not jump.
Woo Hee with glazed eyes telling Baek Ah to reverse his body, Baek Ah obeys her
"If you watch it ... then you will never forget it", said Woo Hee
then plunged from the top of the high wall, All slaves screamed and felt guilty
by kneeling.
Baek Ah screams can
not save Woo Hee who has jumped. Inside the palace, Hae Soo looks surprised, so
does King So do not believe there will be dead again. Baek Ah is crying by
hugging Woo He is lifeless again. "I thought I could ignore everything and
live my life. I tried to deny my parents. But I can not ignore my people who
look at me as a mother. I do not think I can live that way. Goryeo and Baekje.
Gyeon Hwon and Taejo Wang Geon. Their sins ... I will atone for their deeds
with my life. Maybe this is the reason I was born. I love you. You just ... my
mate is the only one", Woo Hee mumbles Baek Ah to see all the paintings he
made while Woo Hee was practising a sword pull in the forest and also
remembering the moment he stabbed her in the king's birthday celebration. He
remembers all the memories he goes through with Woo Hee.
"Do not destroy
yourself just because you do not want to forget it", Hae Soo comes to
advise Baek Ah who looks very sad.
"Why did not
she tell me? It must be because of me then she's like that. Come to think of
it, I'm too greedy. A citizen of a ruined kingdom and also a gisaeng, an
orphan. I do not care about her painful background. I'm proud to love her",
said Baek Ah.
"But I'm
arrogant indeed. I do not understand how Woo Hee really feels. What makes her
sad and what makes her hurt. I never asked". Why do you just smile for a
while?
"My love is a
superficial love", Baek Ah blames himself. Hae Soo sees that this is Woo
Hee's fault because they've given heart to her. But in the end, at least Woo
Hee is not selfish. Baek Ah sense indeed Woo Hee is indeed wrong, with a
wrathful thinks the King already knows everything. Hae Soo can only be silent.
Baek Ah goes to see his brother, Wang So sees that his sister looks very skinny
and will send the Royal Doctor on duty later. Baek Ah discusses that Woo Hee
put up the announcement from the king then they've made his deal.
"I also did not
think that Woo Hee chose to die. She said I can save you if I write the
announcement. That's when I know she's the daughter of Hubaekje", clearly
Wang So, Baek Ah is seen holding back his anger.
"I want to save
you. I wrote the announcement because I was desperate. I do not know if she
will die, but even if I already know then I will still do it For me ... you are
more important than her …." Baek Ah hold back his sadness knowing it but
difficult for him to accept this fact as well as the weight once at His
Majesty's side and kneeling in honour. Wang So frantically requests that Baek Ah
not do that to herd be confessed that he was wrong. But Baek Ah feels himself
wrong and apologizes for not being strong enough to protect the King.
"Hopefully your
life is long and healthy always ..... Hyungnim", said Baek Ah then left,
Wang So screamed sad for his beloved brother, but Baek Ah chose to go.
***
Wang So comes to his
room and looks Yeon Hwa waiting for him, then asks if she is sure of her
decision. Yeon Hwa says with a smile that she's sure.
***
Wang Wook came with
the eunuch to bring something into the palace, knowing the king was going to
hunt so he had found a hawk for His Majesty. Wang So confesses that Hunting
Hawk is his favourite, Wang Won said it shows affection between brothers.
"From the book I read, compassion and brotherhood are the foundations for
a man. Wow! This is why the brotherhood is better. Harmony in the family means
harmony in this country, right?" Wang Won then laughed together, as the
cloth of the birdcage cover opens, the eagle is dead.
"Is not this a
dead eagle?" Wang So stood with an angry look, Wang Wook was shocked the
bird he was carrying was dead.
"What is a dead
eagle given to the king? It means a curse on you, The Majesty! We can not allow
this", The Prime Ministry deliberately instigated him. Wang Wook panicked
because nobody defended him even Wang Won betrayed him, then said all this
misunderstanding and there must be something that happened when brought by.
Wang Won immediately cut off if his own brother who carrying and mocking who
else is to blame.
"Are you
cursing your king Or is it a betrayal?" Wang So quipped. Prime Ministry
feels that all must be true as well as the other reply. Wang Wook kneels in.
"The Majesty, I am innocent ... I was tricked, The Majesty," said
Wang Wook sure.
"If this is
betrayal .... then you will be put to death", Wang So said as deliberately scared him, Wang
Won who saw him smiling slyly could drop Wang Wook.
***
Queen Hwang Bo comes
rushing to her daughter's room, Yeon Hwa looks cold seeing her mother coming.
Queen Hwang Bo tells that Wang Wook is trapped and can die. Yeon Hwa thinks her
brother has made a big mistake that can not be tolerated. Queen Hwang Bo
requests that Yeon Hwa should rescue her brother, "I do not want ... I can
not get involved in politics, to cover up my brother's crime. His crime is too
great, The Hwangju elders have agreed to me. So Do not get your hopes up",
Yeon Hwa is cold, Queen Hwang Bo is shocked to hear her daughter say.
"Did you say, only
when we talked about your brother's life?" Queen Hwang Bo could not
believe.
"I am queen
now. I appreciate my family And do not want to lose him. But there's more
important than that. So relieve me, Mother", Yeon Hwa said then walk away.
Queen Hwang Bo hold back her anger like not believe Yeon Hwa who is the queen
can not help her family.
***
Wang Wook still
kneeling in the King's room, even Wang So is not sitting on the throne. Hae Soo
follows Wang So up to his room asking to forgive Wang Wook for believing he's
trapped and asking to let live. Wang So did not care, until finally, Hae Soo
kneeled in front of Wang So. "Do not you know you should not kneel? You
may not be able to walk if you kneel often. Quick Standing", said Wang So.
"You said you
would not hurt your brothers", Hae Soo reminded.
"Do not be like
this. I know you care about the princes. I do not like you kneeling for his
sake. So Stand up", Wang So said angrily.
"The man who
killed the eagle ... is you. You deliberately killed the eagle and trapped Wang
Wook", said Hae Soo sure, Wang So is surprised Hae Soo can find out.
"So what? Can
not I do it? Wang Wook kills Moo Hyungnim and Eun and he also keeps Baek Ah
away. He even tried to kill me and wanted to separate us both. He is such a
person", Wang Wook said.
"If you kill
someone else then you will be able to reply from your deeds. If you punish
people so drastically ... then everyone will think of you as an enemy. In the
future ... I do not want you to be remembered as a violent king ", clearly
Hae Soo.
Wang So agrees to
let Wang Wook live, Hae Soo is a little relieved. Wang So said that Wang Wook
would be exiled to his hometown and should not take a single step from his
home. Hae Soo is shocked to hear it, Wang So knows that Wang Wook wants to have
Goryeo But all he gets in his own house will suffocate in that house and will
live to rot.
"Well ... It's
true ... better like that than me kill him", said Wang So full of grudge.
Hae Soo really does not believe Wang So will give the punishment.
***
Wang Wook fell
silent in his room was reading the decree of the late King Wang Yo, Wang Wook's
giggling, Gwangjong threw away the commandment with an overflowing anger,
"This decree is falsehood and lies!" His voice shook the palace wall.
Could he allow her lovers to marry Wang Jung? The prince is wasted. "Does
not Wang So occupy the throne without a written command or will from King Wang
Yo?" Boldly Prince Wang Jung fought His Majesty's anger, he will be faced
with difficulty in the face of Wang So. However, he has insisted on fulfilling
the desire to marry Hae's lady. Since the encounter in the bamboo forest when
the noble girl helped him from the pirate bombardment, he could never forget
Soo.
"Was the decree
of the late king ignored? Comparing this inscription with the late king's
writing, this writing is genuine", Prince Wang Jung insisted, he had
already calculated the anger of a king, for losing his beloved.
"If this is
true, I can not agree with it. You must not marry Hae Soo", The Majesty's
anger boils like a flood of volcanic lava, why a bastard prince dared to marry
a king's lover.
"I have
received permission from the late King Wang Yo, I do not need to get permission
from Wang So ", Prince Wang Jung fights.
"Everyone in
the palace knows, Soo is my lover. How you, Wang Jung can have the intention of
marrying her. Nothing wrong with this?" The King mocks Wang Jung.
"Hae Soo is
neither a queen nor a royal concubine nor a wife of kings. There is no reason,
that he can not get married. I have submitted this plan to the Minister. They
are waiting for the king's approval for this marriage ", not a bit of
Prince Wang Jung receding. He has been sentenced to exile from the palace, he
will go with Hae Soo leaving this palace.
"The punishment
I sent down to Wang Jung, out of exile", King Wang So clenched his hands,
he will never let his beloved lover marry another prince.
“Hae Soo wants it, she
wants this marriage. If you do not believe, can ask the concerned", Prince
Wang Jung still sounded, until the mouth of the king silenced.
***
Hae Soo looks at the
salt soap made by the ladies, then kisses it, she knows the dosage of honey is
too little, "Salt bath will be easily destroyed, honey. Add the floral
scent to the wife's bath salts, and add the leaves or mint to the bath salons
of the princes and kings ", two ladies understand the clue to this. Hae
Soo will still continue the conversation, but suddenly King Wang So with a red
face. "Wang Jung said he will marry you. He had the decree of the deceased
king, that the king permitted him to marry you. Do you know about that?" King
Wang So's voice was almost crazy. What happened between Jung and Soo behind his
back?
"When did he
receive the order?" Hae Soo asks back.
"The third year
of King Jeongjong's reign. At that time Wang Jung won the battle at Hwayi
against Khitan and returned to Goryeo. According to Wang Jung, you want this
ceremony. Is it true? Or, the decree is false", Wang So is sure, Hae Soo
will admit that the decree is false.
"True, I want
it, great sin ignores the decree of the late king. The king of successors will
surely obey him, or will doubt the ability as the successor of the late king.
Farewell will make us always miss each other. The boundary between love and
hate is actually too thin, like an overhanging fabric", there is still
courage in Hae Soo to justify the decree of the late King Wang Yo.
"So you hate
me?" The King's eyes are wide open as if to stretch out of his petals.
"Life inside
the palace will continue to grow hatred. Is not it better that I go, but still
remember a king in the heart of the heart"?
"I will never
let that marriage ", sounded the heavy breath of a king, a thrill, out of
anger. Then Hae Soo returns alone. Presumably Prince Wang Jung fulfilled the
promise, the prince had long laid the heart, all this time his eyes were blind,
unable to see anything, just the love of Prince Wang So who was covered with
hatred, covered with blood.
***
In the throne room
King Wang So sat in silence, never expected. When he became the most powerful
man in Goryeo, the only beloved woman chose to marry siblings, arguing better
to part, but still remembering in the hallways of the heart. A strange and
unreasonable reason. Who is Hae Soo? Queen Yeon Hwa hurries to come with a pair
of red eyes, "People are already suspicious, why a king can ignore the
decree of the late king. His Majesty also presses a queen to betray his family
and elder brother. Why can not let Hae Soo go?"
"I'll never let
her go", His Majesty always feels uncomfortable near Queen Yeon Hwa.
"That
inconvenience can cause a king to lose the throne. Remember, I have done
everything ", Queen Yeon Hwa has adequately stated her attitude. It's a
good thing Hae soo leaves the palace in a marriage anyway. If the king insists
on refusing, he can lose the throne.
***
Prince Wang Wook was
writing in the room, he was no longer free to move, for receiving brackets. For
a moment the prince was pensive, stopping the hand gestures. He remembered
something. When prostration begs forgiveness to The King, Hae Soo suddenly
arrives, "Stand up, The King revoke the death penalty".
"What if you
will be suspected, for asking me to stand?" The 8th Prince asked.
"Why should you
care for someone who is dragged to the gallows? You still remember me?" Prince
Wang Wook's voice was cold, he did not even have to say thank you.
"I will do the
same to anyone, you also know about it. Forget everything to forget, throne
and myself. Only by leaving the court of a prince will be free from any
threats. Remember, the palace is not a beautiful place to build hope, the only
single power belongs to a king. The death penalty without defence can be
imposed on anyone ", the distance between the two is very close, but the
separation has been stretched so long and deep.
***
Prince Wang Wook's
reverie suddenly split, Queen Yeon Hwa rushes into her usual clothes, her
beautiful face looks so anxious. "Do something, or I lose everything. If The
King must descend from the throne, for
refusing the decree of the late King Wang Yo, so the queen. What can I have?
"The two people stared at each other, Prince Wang Wook aware of the
anxiety. He had to do something.
The next day Queen
Yeon Hwa was already in the throne room when Prince Wang Wook came, "Is
there anything important to say, then I must come. Respectfully I hope The King
and The Queen is willing to leave us both ", a plea of a
prince to a queen. But the queen realizes, how important is the one-eyed
conversation. She has no other choice.
"There's
nothing I can hope for, but let Wook talk", after sighing long Queen Yeon
Hwa walking away.
"There's
something I have to admit about my relationship with Hae Soo," Prince Wang
Wook opened the conversation, aware of the consequences when he had to open the
word. On the other hand, King Wang So seemed haunted by the question, "His
Majesty has not known, we both promised to marry", a short sentence, but
enough to burn the jealous fire of a king. The King felt the palace floor sway.
"Do you really
want to die?" King Wang So's gaze sharpened his tongue, Wang Wook has been
punished, but still dare to convey the very personal thing.
"Our
relationship long before she became the king's lover, Hae Soo is mine",
since Hae Soo becomes a lover of The King is not for a while Wang Wook able to
forget, the figure is always immersed in the bottom of the heart. He still
hoped for a beautiful day, even though that hope was now scattered. His Majesty
did not have to continue this conversation, hurrying to meet someone, his eyes
as red as a fire. Once again he had been betrayed, it turned out to be too much
about traitors. No matter how he was a king and powerful to give gifts to the death
sentence.
Hae Soo never
expected this sudden arrival, she was stunned when King Wang So hit her with
overflowing anger, "Now I know why you kneel in order to save Wook. The
bracelet you wear, the secret meeting at Damiwon. Is that all true? Did you
ever plan to marry Wook?" King Wang So's red-eye pair was about to burn
Hae Soo alive.
On the other hand
Hae Soo bows down, unconsciously she nods in affirmation. "The man you say
you love, is he Wook?" Once The King asks in the hope that Hae Soo will
reply, 'no'. However, it turns out Hae Soo nods again, justifying. King Wang
So's eyes widened wide, his memory flickering back in the past. Hae Soo refuses
her presence, because someone else has been present. He guessed, "Is he
Baek Ah?"
"No," Hae
Soo replied briefly. While both were on horseback, Wang Wook picked up Hae Soo,
when Wang So, "I'll drive him to the palace".
"Your presence
alone will definitely lead to mouths and Prince's speech", Prince Wang
Wook praised him at the sight of Hae Soo running away, then asserted. "There
is nothing in the palace that could belong to Wang So either Yeon Hwa or Hae
Soo, since both are my people ". Then Hae Soo kneels in favour of Wang
Wook, knowing King Wang So accidentally kills the eagle to trap the 8th Prince.
Everything so real, related. Secretly His Majesty complained, all his eyes were
blind.
"I would rather
if you say no, then everything will come back to normal", The King would
prefer an unreal answer.
"We have agreed
not to lie to each other", not easy for Hae Soo to say, but it should be.
One thing the king could not understand. Why a lover can behave that way. The
blood of King Wang So was boiling.
"I thought you
loved me, it was the same, you were just a traitor. Is true your treatment? Why
should Wook? It turns out that in the heart of a traitor there is always Wang
Wook", this time the king could no longer forgive. Hae Soo is the lover of
the king, it turns out that in her heart is another prince, the prince that he
wants to kill, Wang Wook.
Hae Soo tries to
calm the anger of the king by holding his arm, but Wang So refuses, "Never
touch me. Starting today, I will never see a traitor, will not see you
again", King Wang's voice thundered as though Thunder, his step thumped
away as if to tear down the layers of the earth's skin. Hae`Soo still stunned,
never guessed a moment after those long years The King will say this. She knew,
the decision not to return to the king's beloved room is true. This love story
ends, without a drizzle dripping into the eyes of Hae Soo, is this the tear of
the end?
***
The day finally
arrived, the day when Hae Soo determined to leave the palace walls, nothing
else could force her to stay, no more love of a king. In her own way, she has
been driven away. Some of the ladies accompanying Hae Soo leave Damiwon Palace,
tears have vanished, the smug face now smiling. She will be free from any royal
family dispute that ends with the death penalty or death. She was tired of
seeing a pool of blood, she longed for the peaceful life that Prince Wang Jung
had offered.
In the throne room
King Wang So was sitting, rushing to read a book. He tried to bury a thousand
feelings that raged like an endless civil war. He acted as if he never lost
anything. "The Majesty once dumped
Hae Soo. True, many things must be sacrificed to protect this throne. However,
if The Majesty expels her in this way, one day will never forgive herself
", Choi Ji Mong ventured to say.
"I never left
her, she who left me", King Wang So's gaze straight ahead, acting as if
never to lose.
In front of the
palace has been prepared a litter complete with bodyguards, Prince Baek Ah
seemed to welcome Hae Soo at the door with a drink, "A glass of drink to
say goodbye, are not we friends and will always be friends", Prince Baek Ah
smile always sincere, one thing that reassures Hae Soo's heart.
"If I had known
that Wang Jung had the decree of the late king, I would have helped you from
the beginning," Prince Baek Ah knew, the decision to leave the palace, to
live peacefully with Wang Jung was a wise thing, and he was exhausted by the
king's rivalry.
"I do not know.
Jung just told him, he has a way out to leave the palace", Hae Soo knows
Prince Baek Ah's sincerity, she can grab the sweet smile on his face.
"But do you
really want this marriage? Or should he reject it?" Prince Baek Ah still
doubts the reason Hae Soo left the palace, is she really loving Jung?
"One does not
have to want marriage, but life with Jung is the only way out. I have a
reason", replied Hae Soo.
"Actually I
want you to remain a part of The Majesty's life. Why should I go when I can
never forget?" Prince Baek Ah seems to want to see Hae Soo's deepest
heart. There are too many women asking for the king's love, but Hae Soo even
rejects it.
"If the palace
floor does not have to be inundated? Everything will go peacefully ",
there is one thing that Hae Soo always yearns for, a peaceful atmosphere. She
can no longer condemn the death penalty and bloodshed in the name of protecting
the throne.
"I do not really
know how a king's love affair is, but I'm so lucky to get to know you. One very
precious thing Madame Hae has ever given. Stay heartened, do not get sick,
because of sadness ", Prince Baek Ah's message from a sincere heart.
At the same time
Prince Wang Wook came, momentarily stunned to see Hae Soo ready to leave the
palace. The eighth prince understands the meaning of the departure, he will
lose forever, he will never again meet the only woman he loves. Hope that has
long scattered and now run aground until here.
"You'd better getaway, I'll call a bodyguard", Prince Baek Ah warned, he knew Prince
Wook had once expected death by sending him as a leader to the battlefield.
"Leave us
alone, nothing will happen. Thank you", Hae Soo nods, confidently to Prince
Baek Ah, then the prince passes away.
"I did not do
it with a purpose", Prince Wang
Wook opened the word, recalling the conversation with The Majesty. There was
only one way, so the king let Hae Soo go to marry Wang Jung, except to
acknowledge the close relationship that once happened, even though everything
ended in such away. The jealous fire will burn a king, so he can forget the
woman he loves.
"If you do not
know that I want to go from the palace, surely you will not tell anyone",
Hae Soo understands Wang Wook's character, because of the tenderness of the
heart.
"Wang Jung will
always be nice. Stay strong, forget everything that ever happened in the palace
environment. Start with new days and hope", Prince Wang Wook's voice
trembles. Never once did he forget Hae Soo, even after she received the
beautiful room of a king's lover. Now, on the last day when he had said goodbye
to living with Wang Jung, the Prince's 8th feeling never changed, but he could
only feel. Without the ability to reach. Just as he has written a living
destiny, so does Hae Soo. The feeling that now plunges is a deep loss. He is a
prince, the 8th son of King Taejo Wang Geon but precisely that fate, then he is
not easy to be married to a beloved woman. In life it was not all can be
reached. He knows at a crucial time, Hae Soo must kneel for his own safety. He
was indeed exiled, but was doomed to death.
Hae Soo has
determined a wise and courageous attitude, she knows who really killed the
eagle. Definitely not Prince Wang Wook. Who is this woman really? A man who has
courage without greedy intentions, despite being in close proximity to power?
Prince Wang Wook held back a sob. He has experienced a series of unusual life
stories, with a woman named Hae Soo too deeply involved in it. A woman that can
be seen today for the last time, then the time will take her away. Hae Soo's
moment is transfixed, the memory drifted in the first days of strange times she
stuck into the palace. Prince Wang Wook always gives protection, gentle until
he reaches the wedding promise. But the seizure of the throne and the bloodshed
disrupted everything.
When Prince Wang
Wook's firm hand held her shoulders and hugged her, Hae Soo was still stunned. She
knows the inner feelings of the 8th Prince, which ends in a painful loss. If she
could turn the clock back? "Everything that ever happened between us does
come to an end, but the memory will continue to reminiscent, infinitely far
..." If a prince of Goryeo was justified weeping, surely Wang Wook had sobbed.
However, he did not want to smear this farewell with tears. Consciously or not
he should be responsible with the fate he wants. Destiny never took it to the
throne. Both stared at each other with the same pair of eyes at first, both
trying to smile, facing an adult split. There are better days waiting.
For a moment Hae Soo
looked back at the palace wall, she did not hesitate to leave, she did not lose
the majestic leave of the king's royal court. She was once an important part of
it and everything hurt her. Enough already the pain got here. When Hae Soo
steps away, Prince Wang Wook stays transfixed, he wants to write thousands of
poems to proclaim the painful parting of this farewell.
While King Wang So
stumbles into Hae Soo's room, he never says never to see a sweetheart. However,
is it true he wants this separation? Unless Wang Wook burns it with a jealous
fire. For a moment His Majesty was silent, the wedding dress of a queen who
should have worn Hae Soo on a happy day, was still well preserved, as if the
next day the beloved would actually wear it. Someone is torn to the heart, why
should Hae Soo nod his head when he asks for an answer to Wang Wook's
relationship? Why she did not answer, "no". His Majesty is not
capable enough to control himself when the fire is jealous, so he expels Hae
Soo, in accordance with the wishes of the lover. His Majesty was too hasty to
just notice, Prince Wang Wook deliberately lit a flame for this separation.
Without marriage permission for Prince Wang Jung, His Majesty will be
prosecuted to step down from the throne, Queen Yeon Hwa does everything in his
power for the position of a beloved queen. He has done two things at once,
allowing Hae Soo to leave-though the separation is true to hurt, as well as
securing the queen's position for Yeon Hwa, as requested in the reading room.
His Majesty is too angry to realize it all. Now he was struck silently in front
of a queen's wedding dress, a clothing that no one would ever wear, a
beautiful, silent dress all the time. Unconsciously King Wang So sobbed, he was
alone. A King Goryeo was never found guilty of weeping in front of a bridal
outfit.
The gallery in Hae
Soo's courtyard proceeded, muttering, "If I never meet, then I will not
miss. If I never knew, then I would not always think. If I had never been
together, I would not have left. If I do not love, then I do not need to
remember, then we do not have to part. If we never meet, surely we will never
be together. I wish I'd never met you ... " for the last time Hae Soo turned around, a
pair of dewy red eyes. She had come to a courageous decision that changed the
destiny of living forever.
