I want to be with you, but our destiny cannot be united

The fire that occurred in the palace suddenly became a byword in Hanyang, somehow the story of the new concubine of the King who was burned could be spread out of the palace. It makes many people sad when they know that concubine Suki is King Sejong's favorite concubine. Moreover, concubine Suki was well known on every lady in the palace.
When the suffering the King and the entire royal family had just taken place, the ministers of the Western faction came in droves asking for justice for Consort Suki. King Sejong, who was still in shock, remained silent in his room after the funeral that took place this morning.
"Your Majesty Vice Premier Kim Jong Seo would like to meet." King Sejong exhaled, however, to find out the cause of the fire that caused Hagi's death.
"Let him come in." It was not long before Jong Seo came in and saluted King Sejong.
"Did you find anything? I'm sure this isn't just a regular fire." Kim Jong Seo gave a report and a note to King Sejong.
After the fire broke out last night, King Sejong sent Jong Seo to find out what really happened, King Sejong even almost collapsed when he saw the charred body of Hagi burned and was no longer recognizable. Unable to bear the pain of King Sejong finally bestows it all on Jong Seo.
"Before I would like to apologize to His Majesty, this past week I believe concubine Suki has often asked Her Majesty to separate prince Suyang from Minister Jang for having a bad influence on prince Suyang." King Sejong stared in surprise at Jong Seo, not expecting Hagi to share the story with Jong Seo either. Hagi's last week indeed often visited him not about the request to head north but the request about prince Suyang who seemed to have bad influence from Minister Jang.
"How can you?"
"Sorry Your Majesty, Consort Suki asked Servant for a lot of help, he knew it was impossible for his majesty to separate Prince Suyang as well as minister Jang because the two had been very familiar since the little Suyang prince why concubine Suki asked the servant to find out about many things." King Sejong frowned not understanding.
"Your majesty can read the servant's report along with the note that I attached."
King Sejong immediately opened the report that Jong Seo made, not how long a face full of anger adorned the King's face full of dignity. The report said Prince Suyang had sought help from Hagi for nearly a week to find out about Jang's corruption data, which was kept in the Eunuch's office. Also there it is explained if Hagi who already has the note refused to give the note to make the minister Jang change course to kill Hagi. The testimony of the maids and the hired men who were asked to burn the library made the report even more accurate.
"Are you sure?" Jong Seo nodded making King Sejong pull the notes on the table in haste then read them randomly.
"Hamba's been interrogating and arresting some of the people involved. And forgive His Majesty's servant for now the servant is forced to make Prince Suyang settle in his residence." King Sejong's face was filled with anger, he did not expect Minister Jang to come this far just to cover up the corruption he was doing.
"It's okay, Prince Suyang definitely can't accept all of this. He'd better stay in his house until it's all over." Jong Seo nodded obediently.
"Then what about your sister? Is he okay?" Jong Seo lowered his head and breathed heavily, since the fire was extinguished Kyuhyun disappeared somewhere exactly after seeing the burnt body of Hagi, Kyuhyun left the palace with a hit face.
But before reporting to the King, some of his men said that Kyuhyun is now in the brothel of Young Ae's mistress. Even though he was drunk, Jong Seo was at least able to breathe a sigh of relief because Kyuhyun did nothing.
"Kyuhyun is not in good condition Your Majesty, I also want to ask permission for Kyuhyun to be released for a while." King Sejong exhaled, King Sejong knows for sure the pain even if it wasn't because he still had the responsibility of being a King, he would have done the same as Kyuhyun.
"Alright, let him rest first. I want certainty for all this. Bring the final report. I'll interrogate the man myself." Jong Seo nodded obediently then walked out of the King's room.
Jong Seo stepped out of the King's room while taking a deep breath, this all felt heavy for him especially Kyuhyun suffered a lot with what was happening right now.
"Have I done the right thing?" Mumbled Jong Seo slowly.
"Sir..." Jong Seo shifted his gaze then looked at the person before him asking.
"What's wrong? Shouldn't you be at Prince Suyang's residence?" Nam Young looked at Jong Seo anxiously, as if understanding Nam Young's gaze with a slight run of Jong Seo towards the Suyang prince's residence on the tail of Nam Young behind him.
As Prince Suyang allegedly went on a rampage for being barred from his residence what else after hearing the person closest to him minister Jang in prison for being accused of killing Consort Suki.
"Take me off, you can't be like this to me. It is impossible for minister Jang to kill concubine Suki." Prince Suyang tried to pierce through the guards that prevented him from leaving.
"Stop the prince." Jong Seo's words suddenly made Prince Suyang look at Jong Seo full of anger.
"Why are you doing this? You know Secretary Jang wouldn't do that." The screams of Prince Suyang suddenly made Jong Seo sigh softly.
"Come on the prince I'll explain." Prince Suyang looked at Jong Seo hatefully but with a little forced finally prince Suyang entered his residence in followed by Jong Seo himself.
The two are now facing each other clearly if prince Suyang looks reluctant to look at the person before him. Jong Seo keeps a piece of paper in front of Prince Suyang.
"Prince knows whose writing this is?" Prince Suyang stared at the paper before him reluctantly then read the writing on the paper in confusion.
"Here it is explained that Minister Jang changed the meeting place in the name of the Prince. If the prince still insists as he is now, I will be forced to give it to the court. Your honor alone will interrogate the culprit."
"Are you threatening me?" Prince Suyang further tightened his jaws while pounding the small table in front of him.
"I want to save the prince. The prince was quite silent and answered everything he asked according to the facts." Jong Seo's words further enraged Prince Suyang.
"Ne, I will definitely tell you the truth if you intend to frame Jang's minister, I will prove it." Jong Seo let out a sigh then looked at Prince Suyang sharply.
"Does the prince want to close his eyes to the evidence before the prince? And again did the prince forget concubine Suki died in this fire? Because it intends to protect the prince by sending the prince to the residence of concubine Suki last night." Prince Suyang fell silent, The young prince seemed to think.
"No way, for what minister Jang wants to kill me is also concubine Suki. I even considered him my own father." In Jong Seo's heart felt guilty also to Prince Suyang for making this young Prince confused.
"Does the prince still not understand? During this week the prince was so close to concubine Suki, the greedy Minister Jang feels his position is threatened if the prince does not want to listen to Jang's minister anymore because Suki's concubine thinks Jang's minister has a bad influence on the prince."
"But that's impossible, why kill?" This time confusion and disappointment surrounded Prince Suyang's eyes.
"How many people Jang's minister killed I think the prince knows better than I do." This time the body of Prince Suyang stiffened perfectly, enough to know if Minister Jang always killed anyone who opposed him or harmed him.
"We know for a fact that concubine Suki did not want to give the note to the Prince. Not because he did not want to help the prince but instead wanted to protect the prince from western factions who might find out in the future. Remember the prince concubine of the Tribe sacrificed her life for it." After saying that Jong Seo came out of the residence of prince Suyang leaving prince Suyang in doubt.
