The drizzle came again" I put my hand up and felt the rain startle in the afternoon.

"Chaa... Please shade. You just got back from the war. Please rest", "Eunuch Hong, do I look unwell? My body is quite tough from a season like this" I replied running riding a horse out of this golden cage.

"Hiks.hiks...hiks" sayup-sayup I heard a woman's cry. I open my eyes, watch out. Only trees, and slow river water were visible. "Hiks.hiks.." My hearing focused on the sound that was sourced under the bridge. I strap my horse near the trees and I put my foot on the bridge.

There was a black shadow reflected in the river water "who is there?" My words bully. Hiks.hiks.. Only sobs were heard. I jump over the bridge and go down the stream

Byurs....

Splash...

"Paboo! Whoareyou? Are you my father's errand boy? Are you a hit man? What do you mean this unnaturally came?" He grumbled furiously. His eyes were still full of tears plus his clothes were soaked with splashes of river water as a result of my actions.

"Wait... I can speak well don't accuse me as well as you do!" I'm puffing. I also walked to the edge of the river, I stood by myself beside him.

"Speak sir. Or I'll go" he said rising away from me.

"From your clothes you should be polite, you said, too. Especially the one you just met." I criticize.

Lured my words made him come to me now we are facing. "It should happen to you. Seeing a girl like me you should know yourself, not make fun of me" he said fiercely.

"alright... I'm giving in. I'm sorry, miss."

"It's just deserved" he said proudly

Ha..ha.ha "which noble has a daughter who doesn't know how lucky you are?" My words interrupted

I saw his face change. It was full of sadness without me knowing the cause.

"Ah.. It does. I'm useless. Not even my father's face would see me"

"really? Maybe because you're too ugly" my god

"Aren't you afraid to tell me about your personal affairs?"

"What am I afraid of. You're a palace man. From your clothes you're a soldier who just returned home from war. Whether it was later or not I was also forced to enter the palace"

"If you have to, don't come"

"You said I didn't know I was lucky? At least let my life benefit the family, wouldn't the nobles want to strengthen the relationship in this way? Yes, I've chosen to be the child who knows the favor." He was outspoken without hesitation.

"That if your destiny is good, if you're not lucky enough you'll mourn your whole life alone. Being a lonely concubine in the corner of the palace.."

"Let's. From outside my family knew I entered the palace and became a concubine. Even the forbidden relationship with the prince I also accepted. As long as the next king's descendants are present from my womb."

"You crazy?! Are you like an animal that has no purpose in life? Ah.. I'm too rude. But this is a fitting joke for your mind. You don't know what kind of prince this is!" I said to take off his arm around my neck.

"Didn't the prince also marry just for the sake of getting offspring?

So where's my fault?

I'm woman. I have a uterus.

I'm a princess who has devoted herself to my family.

Later if I become the mother of the crown prince, it's worth paying back to my parents, to my country, and guaranteeing my life."

"Well how is your heart?" My challenges

"Even though I know and have a heart, does obedience guarantee the peace of my life?"

"I don't know but, if it is.. Maybe I'd consider you my heart's choice"

"ck.ck...ckk.you as a man how easy it is to offer your heart to a newly known girl"

"I'm man.. I have power" my smile.

"That's two different things" he said.
