After spending Jeonyuhwa Kim Yoora and also Min Young Jae chose to go home. More precisely Min Young Jae escorted Kim Yoora back to the palace, through a side door that was not guarded at all by soldiers.
"Your pavilion is at the very end?" said Min Young Jae while looking at the many buildings in front of where he was standing. "And there are no soldiers here at all? Aren't they afraid that the princess is missing?" he said.
"Even if I die, they can't even care."
Min Young Jae stares at Kim Yoora strangely, wondering what does that woman mean. It was as if she said that her family did not care about her current existence. Even though it is clear that they are from respected families.
"Don't say that, I'll even bet you are his favorite Princess."
Immediately Kim Yoora burst out laughing, not caring if the man in front of her was disgusted, or maybe wouldn't want to see Kim Yoora again. Realizing this, Kim Yoora lowered her head in shame, she apologized to Min Young Jae for her behavior just now.
"I like the way you laugh." he said, smiling sweetly. And of course managed to make Kim Yoora want to jump off the tile. "Now explain what you mean," he said.
Kim Yoora raised one eyebrow at Min Young Jae in surprise. It's not rude to talk about our personalities to others. Not to mention that they had only met twice, and didn't know each other yet.
"You don't want to tell me?" Min Young Jae said again looking at Kim Yoora expectantly.
"It's not that I don't want to. We've only met twice, can I tell you about what I'm going through right now? It's impossible. Unless we---"
"Have known each other long enough. Then you can tell what you want, can you?" Min Young Jae cut in quickly before Kim Yoora continued her speech.
The woman nodded while playing with her feet. And apologizes to Min Young Jae for not being able to tell him anything. But Kim Yoora promised that she would tell her someday, if she needed a place to vent.
Min Young Jae was not discouraged, he patted Kim Yoora's head a little. "No problem, I'll wait until you want to tell me."
"Yes, thanks for waiting for me."
Min Young Jae pulled Kim Yoora's hand to sit beside her. More precisely sitting on the steps in front of the door of this pavilion.
The two of them looked at each other at the very bright blue sky, the sun was about to set and the orange color would soon appear. Kim Yoora's favorite color ever since.
Kim Yoora's eyes closed for a moment. She imagines Han Soo Lee's love story that ends tragically. Where his lover left her for another woman. Like he said, it's like a rainbow comes only to give color, after that it goes away with a million wounds.
"Young Jae, don't be a rainbow in my life. I want you to be twilight, even if for a while but tomorrow we will meet again," Kim Yoora's eyes opened slowly and looked at Min Young Jae smiling. "Promise me, if I'm not there, you still want to wait for me?" said Kim Yoora.
Min Young Jae smiled boldly and grabbed Kim Yoora's hand. "I promise."
Believe it or not, Kim Yoora smiled sweetly. This evening twilight became a witness to Min Young Jae not to leave him someday.
"All right, come in. I don't want anyone to know if we will meet here."
"Yes, I'll go in. Be careful."
Kim Yoora immediately trotted to the door of her pavilion. She also quickly opened the door so that no one would know if she went out and came home almost at night. Unfortunately, that was just Kim Yoora's dream.
In front of the side door of Kim Yoora's pavilion, she saw Kim Won Shik standing talking with Iseul. Of course Kim Yoora immediately hid behind a big corner. Luckily this pavilion has a big tree beside the pavilion, just try it if you don't. Maybe today is Kim Yoora's last day to breathe.
"Okay, later when she wakes up tell her to face me." Kim Won Shik said which Kim Yoora could still hear.
"Very well, Emperor. Later I will---"
"Aaaah..."
Kim Yoora jumped from hiding because she felt her leg was being bitten by a large ant. She also told about her hanbok and so the ants crawling on her hanbok fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Kim Won Shik looked at Kim Yoora and Iseul sharply. "How dare you lie to me!!" Kim Won Shik hissed.
Iseul, who felt that her life was in danger, immediately prostrated and held Kim Won Shik's feet. Apologize for his impolite attitude, and for lying to Kim Won Shik.
"I'm sorry Emperor Kim Won Shik. I didn't--"
"Iseul don't say anything !! Shut up !!" Kim Yoora joked when she felt better with the big ant. She immediately went to Iseul and helped him up.
Seeing this, Kim Won Shik immediately dragged Kim Yoora to come with him. But unfortunately the woman immediately brushed Kim Won Shik's hand roughly.
"How dare you!!" Pointing at Kim Won Shik with crossed eyes.
"Sorry Emperor if I'm being rude. But it would be nice if Emperor Kim Won Shik spoke politely and kindly to me. Don't pull me away like I'm a goat that wants to be slaughtered!!"
Kim Won Shik wanted to slap Kim Yoora, but remembering that she had just woken up from the dead made Kim Won Shik think twice.
"But your attitude is really too much Princess Kim Hyo Ra !!" Kim Won Shik snapped.
Kim Yoora rolled her eyes lazily. Fortunately, parents try if not for sure that Kim Yoora will push the man to the ground.
The woman chose to leave, but it was only a few steps that Kim Yoora's hand was pulled from behind. Who else but Kim Won Shik, who dared to grab Kim Yoora's hand for the second time.
"I didn't come here to fight with you. But, I heard you came out of the pavilion together with a man. Who is he? Is he the same man in the lake?"
Kim Yoora paused for a moment and looked at the look on Kim Won Shik's face, to make sure that the old man saw for himself or was just a rumor. But even though Kim Won Shik saw it for himself, it is certain that the man will drag Kim Yoora back home. But now Kim Yoora thinks that someone should report to Kim Won Shik, and it must be Jae Hwa.
"Yes .. He is the same person." Kim Yoora answered lightly.
"How dare you repeat the same mistake. I told you that ---"
"Fate says that anyone who is close to me will have bad luck," Kim Yoora looked at Kim Won Shik sharply. "Dear Emperor Kim Won Shik, one's destiny is not written in a book. I can't believe I was born to make everyone unlucky around me. Whereas that guy didn't feel unlucky in the slightest near me!!" Kim Yoora said angrily.
Kim Won Shik clenched his fists looking at Kim Yoora angrily. "You dare to oppose me now Princess Kim Hyo Ra!! You know what the consequences will be if you dare with me!!"
"I still can't think straight if everyone believes in fate. Then they are wrong !! Does the Emperor want to punish me? Or expel me from this palace? Please !! I can even live without your pity Emperor Kim Won Shik !!" Firmly Kim Yoora was annoyed and walked away.
Kim Won Shik clenched his fists at Kim Hyo Ra, who was rude talking to him. It was the first time in his life that Kim Won Shik had seen Kim Hyo Ra be this brave with him.
Dae Hyun finds out who that man is, and what's the relationship with Princess Kim Hyo Ra. And don't forget to tell him to stay away from Kim Hyo Ra, before he gets hurt. Said Kim Won Shik.
"Yes, Emperor." Dae Hyun answered obediently.
