The screech in the royal sky of the Joseon dynasty, that afternoon seemed to shine cheerfully. Another case with the prince who was standing on the edge of the lake in the palace, his gaze that is difficult to describe makes people who see it will not understand what the prince thinks.
For hours he had been staring at the man-made lake by continuing to flinch without any movement like a statue placed on the edge of the lake, like a statue,even the slap of wind that shook his robe of greatness to the point that he was not even a little he ignored, his gaze still remained straight staring at the ripples of the lake water that were stirred by the strong wind.
"Prince! Are you going to stay here all this time?" gyeon-i asks suddenly who broke the silence of that time.
But Mo myung ignored Gyeon-i's question, he remained silent a thousand languages. Actually Gyeon-i who continues to accompany prince Mo myung by continuing to stand behind the prince already seems to feel sore because it continues to stand, occasionally he seems to squirm his body so that his joints and muscles feel more relaxed.
Silence back!
Unheeded by the prince, Gyeon-i chooses to shut up again while waiting for prince Mo myung to get tired of continuing to flinch. Shortly after, a bodyguard came.
"Your majesty! I'm sorry to bother you, but the king's majesty ordered me to ask you to immediately face the king's majesty" said the bodyguard, making Gyeon-i, the king's father, the ladies and eunuchs who accompanied the prince gave thanks because they did not have to stand for hours.
"I'll see him soon" said Mo myung
The bodyguard then left immediately. Shortly after, Mo myung immediately went to face the king who was none other than his real father.

King Kim in hong's room,,, the,,,
The king seemed to be sitting quietly in front of his desk, on his left were several ladies standing looking down. Before long Mo myung came with his ladies and eunuchs. He was then invited in and sat down opposite the king.
Because there was a personal thing that he wanted to say, the king told all the ladies and eunuchs to wait outside his room until the only ones left in that room were the king and the prince Mo myung. Before his father spoke Mo myung just kept silent without asking, There is no matter if he was called by the king.
"Mo myung, I want to talk to you as a father not as a king," said king In Hong.
Silent for a moment!
"Dad, hearing the news that you're punishing Choi's lady, the kitchen ladies and Gyeon-i just because of trivial things is that true?" ask king In hong
Mo myung did not answer his father's question he still continued to flinch with his flat face. He made the king explain it with many questions.
"Why did you do that? Why are you more concerned with ego than your humanity? Why are you still cold-hearted to everyone? Why can't you change like you did before? Though soon you will replace father to king, you must be able to change the sikaf your urakan" cried king In hong with great emphasis in each word.
"I never asked my father that I could become a king, I just want justice from you" Mo Myung said firmly and straightforwardly.
"Why are you still talking about that Myung? It's been a dozen years, and I've given you the answer" king In Hong said
"What answer? All I know is that you are fair to your people but not to me and Go Ara" Mo Myung said in a raised voice.
King In-hong then sighed heavily, he was already confused as to what else to say to his eldest son.
"I'm sorry Myung's father, I can't give you anything as you wish because the circumstances of that time are different from now" said the sad king In Hong who at that time could not reveal the truth because he had just been inaugurated as a king and power at that time was still fully controlled by the prime minister who helped him rise to fame.
"It's never too late if you want to uncover the truth. Now you can reveal the truth if there is an intention in your heart! king sire!" ketus Mo myung is upset with his father
"How can you accuse them of murdering your brother while you have no proof whatsoever, anyways it's a long time gone if there's any evidence it must have been destroyed in time" king In hong.
"I'm the witness, I saw the murderer kill Ara in front of my own eyes, I know who did it but why didn't you listen to me then? Is it because I was 7 years old so you can't trust me? And why did you believe them that Gyeon-i's father killed Ara, when it was not true, Father sentenced innocent people to death so Gyeon-i and Areum have to lose their only parents, and where is your justice as a king? What's the point of you being king if you can't stand up for innocent people?" snapped Mo myung who was already unable to contain his anger anymore.
It also made the king rise in blood, he then yelled at Mo myung back.
"ENOUGH!! MYONG!!" king In hong.
He then fell down sad, sad,while Mo myung looked at him with anger and hatred because after that his life was always haunted by guilt because Mo myung could not save his sister from the killer and he could not punish the killer until now he could still wander around and breathe free air without any guilt in the slightest.And that made Mo myung filled with anger and resentment in his heart.
With teary eyes and full of tenderness of a father, because of his helplessness at that time the king then gave understanding to Mo myung so that he was not always angry and blamed the king In hong constantly.
Mo Myung, who no longer wanted to talk to his father, stood up and left his father's room, but before that Mo myung said sniffly and cynically to his father.
"As long as you keep quiet and don't reveal the truth I will continue to hate you, keep it! that's the great king!"
Again the king could only sigh heavily upon seeing his stubborn son.
...*******...
A few days later.
The building is located on the edge of a man-made lake with overgrown cherry blossoms in various corners of the lake, spoiling the eyes of everyone who sees it, what's more, in the spring, the flowers that smell fragrant look so enchanting and for that reason this place is also a favorite place for prince Mo myung in this palace.
That afternoon, the sun seemed to shine brightly until the light was able to break through the smallest spaces in the building that now contained prince Mo myung in it. He seemed to be sitting seriously while reading a book in front of him. As she was busy reading she suddenly came to Hae Soo's daughter.
The princess immediately greeted him with her sweetest smile, but the presence of the beautiful princess was not so ignored by the prince she continued to focus on the book she read. Princess Hae Soo then sat down in front of her.
"Prince, I want to talk to you" said Hae Soo's daughter.
"I don't have time for you, I'm busy reading, I have to finish my reading immediately" alibi prince Mo myung won't talk to princess Hae soo.
"All right, I'll wait for you here until you finish reading" said Hae Soo's daughter, who refused to leave
The prince only glanced at her for a moment with his flat gaze then he returned to reading the book seriously. While waiting for the prince, princess Hae-soo propped her chin with both hands she placed on the table where the prince kept her books.
Suddenly, there was a beautiful smile on both corners of Hae Soo's lips as she looked at the handsome man in front of her. Actually Mo myung realized that Hae soo kept looking at him while smiling. at first Mo myung let the beautiful princess look at his handsome face but for a long time he felt uncomfortable also stared at by the opposite sex with a gaze full of admiration.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" mo myung asked without looking at Hae soo's face
"I was wrong, right? Staring at my future husband who is very handsome,, but dear you are very cold" hae soo praised the good looks of her future husband and also she was very sorry for his good will wrapped by his cold nature.
Actually Mo myung was a bit wrong when a girl said that she was very handsome considering that she had never been close to any girl except her late sister Go Ara. Not wanting his image to melt because of the taste of the baper, Mo myung immediately dismissed his feelings by lifting the book he held to cover his handsome face so that Hae soo could not see his face anymore.
Finally Hae soo flinch and faithfully wait for the prince to finish reading his book. It did not feel like time continued to turn finally Mo myung had finished reading his book he then closed and tidied up his books.
But apparently the beautiful girl had fallen asleep while she was busy reading a book. Mo myung looked at Hae soo's daughter for a moment then he stood up and left Hae soo's daughter still asleep. Seeing Mo myung leave, Gyeon-i who was also there from that place then chased after prince Mo myung.
"Prince, wait! What about Princess Hae soo? Why didn't you wake her? Pity that he's been waiting for you from now on until he overslept" asked Gyeon-i
"It's wrong for him to sleep instead" said prince Mo myung without seeing Gyeon-i who continued to follow from behind wherever he went.
Not wanting to argue with the prince Gyeon-i then chose to be quiet while continuing to follow wherever prince Mo myung went.
Meanwhile, Princess Hae-soo has just woken up from her sleep. Realizing the prince was no longer in front of him Hae soo immediately spread his gaze in all directions to look for the figure of the prince.
"Prince Mo myung where? Why isn't he here?" hae Soo asked the ladies who were still waiting for her.
"She's gone from there princess" replied one of the ladies.
"Why didn't he wake me?" ask again.
The dayang simply shook his head in a sign of not knowing. After that Hae Soo's daughter snorted annoyedly then she left.
