"Jeez ... Am I crazy? Why do I still remember that horrible man's face? No, he is neither an ordinary man nor a god, but he is a cursed demon. Even though a year has passed". Inner Anna.
"Is there any problem?". Asked prince Gujong while observing Anna's panicked face.
"Oh ... I'm fine. Oh yeah, wouldn't the prince want to tell me something?". Anna answered after controlling her feelings.
Prince Gujong smiled bitterly, he didn't want to tell anything about his brother, but he didn't like being compared. Therefore, he had to tell the truth about why Princess Yun liked his first brother more.
"Very well, I'll tell you. It started with the story of our parents who did not keep their promises. The fortune teller said that the Gyongje kingdom would be the number one kingdom in the south, as long as they could have daughters. My brother and I were ten years apart. Meanwhile, Princess Yun is only five years different from me. So, it happened when I was about six years old". Prince Gujong took a deep breath before continuing his story.
"What's the point of the story?". Asked Anna, confused.
"About my first brother and sister, why they can love each other like that". Prince Gujong replied.
Anna nodded curiously, because she was very interested in finding out who Prince Gujong's rumored first brother was so terrible.
Prince Gujong also brought Anna back to a time where his parents experienced sad events until the entire kingdom was filled with tears because of the loss of their daughter.
Flashback.
A Princess that the entire Gyongje kingdom was waiting for was four months old. However, she has not yet been given a name because King Yeonggi has not yet found a suitable name for his Princess crown.
Reportedly, her birth would bring prosperity and profit to the Gyongje kingdom.
Until four months had passed, King Yeonggi forgot to pay a promise to an old woman whom he considered the god of help. In fact, the old woman was a magician who had dared to steal God's will.
In the Palace pavilion.
King Yeonggi was very happy holding his baby. The Queen suddenly said. "Your Majesty, our child is already four months old, but we haven't paid the promise. Unlike the daughter of the Daeksu kingdom who he said has fulfilled his promise two months ago. I also heard that his child is growing healthy and has been given a good name" .
"Really? Why didn't I hear anything. Then, what is the name of the child?". King Yeonggi asked in surprise because he could not hide it.
"Her name is Princess Anna Lee". Replied the empress.
"Oh God, why do I just remember now that I once made a promise at the border of the forbidden forest. But, until now I have not fulfilled that promise. No wonder I also did not find a suitable name for her. Now what do you think?". asked King Yeonggi to his queen.
"These past few days I have always had nightmares, therefore we must immediately fulfill the promise that we once said, even though we are too late".
"Calm down, because it is never too late. We still have plenty of time. It is not good to do something in a hurry". King Yeonggi denied that he calmed his wife's feelings.
"It's not a matter of haste, but our promise must be fulfilled on time. Didn't we promise to pay it off after our child turns two months old. I'm afraid, Your Majesty, I'm afraid something will hit us if we don't keep our promise". said the empress, overcome with anxiety.
"Believe me, nothing will ever happen to us. Aren't our children entrusted by God?".
"That is noble ...".
The Queen had not finished saying her words, suddenly their child who was in the King's arms burst into tears.
The crying was accompanied by the voice of the King trying to calm the baby in his arms.
"Ssstt... Sssstt... Sssst... dear shut up, why suddenly she became fussy? Shut up my beautiful daughter, be quiet dear!". The empress's voice was so soft, but the princess's crying continued to intensify, so that it made the atmosphere a little tense.
