Chapter 5 - Uncover her schemes

It was the young prince of Hinon Dan, Isagani able to decipher the bae's intention of her panubok. He looked at it as if it was the greatest and finest panubok among all, felt the scarlet thread in his fingers. Interesting, he thought as he looked the warfare scenery as if it was trying to wage war any daring household whoever picked intentionally her panubok. He has always regarded having bad judgment about women in their place as he usually never took interest in a woman. He was too bored to choose whining women until he spotted his great match. He had a hold tight of the panubok as he was trying to know whose household could the owner of the panubok belongs. 

Some of the noble mocked him for not choosing the panubok of the Pinath Yanai princess, who was known for her excellence and beauty all over Mahar Lica. He just give up the thought of having ties with the court whom he despised the most. As he drew nearer the emperor's hall to have the audience to know where could his future wife belongs, all of the noble lords fixed their gaze on him and a personal air of grudges from the royals.

His majesty was astounded by the panubok he picked. The emperor perhaps able to know behind this threads. The emperor signed the highest daya- the royal governess who was able to determine the panubok presented.

"It came from the Suli Household your majesty," politely replied to the emperor. "I heard the Bae was in great distress from having a nightmare that she could not even try to embroider a beautiful scenery and weave her terrible dream instead."

She sure is cunning, Prince Isagani thought hearing explanations from the daya. 

"You heard him, my Hinon Dan prince. The maiden of your choice is from the Suli province. I believed it was their lovely eldest daughter participated this year. No one heard of this lady, unknown for its beauty as she was carrying mask all her life. Tell me, will you from the royal birth really pursue this maiden who is estranged from you?" riddled from the emperor as if he was trying to get Isagani confused
