Sound of the door opened by two guards standing at front of a room where they rushed the third King in and the first King entered to check on him. They closed the door back and the king walking in.
The palace native doctor had been with the King. He was a middle age man and he was the one that used to take care of them in the palace, also his place was not far from the palace. He had knowledge on any illness and they used to call him Doctor Wizard.
The man put different medicines inside bottles on the table beside him, put a folded cloth on the King's front head and mixing some leaves together inside a very small mortar. Pounding it with the pestle and trying to extract water out from it.
The king stopped walking as he had been about to get to where the man was and looking at him doing his job. The man packed the leaves out from the mortar with his right hand, opened the King's mouth and pressing the water from the leaf inside his mouth.
The third King's eye were widely opened and he could see everyone and known everything that they were doing. It was just that he was very weak that he couldn't lift his body or his hands and he was unable to ulter a word.
He had been falling sick for few years now and got fine after few days. It was different always that his sickness always used to come and it was as years were passing that the sickness was getting worst.
"How is he now? Can he able to talk now?" The king asked from where he was and walking closed to him.
"He will be fine now; by tomorrow he will be able to walk, get fine very well and able to go back to his kingdom" The man said with respect and cleaning his drugs.
"Sorry brother" The King said and touch his front head. It was all of them that know about his health issues and they had tried many ways for him to be fine but still it was not working permanently.
"Just allow him to rest for the whole day my King, don't allow anybody to talk to him or disturb him or want to take him to anywhere. I will still come back in the evening to check on him" The man said and packing his medicines back inside a small beautiful box.
"Nobody will dare to disturb him, thank you wizard" the King showed his appreciation to the man.
Sound of the door opened, Prince entered the room and walking to where the king was.
"Please don't talk much at his present, let him rest. I will take my leave now my King" Wizard said and leaving the room. He and the Prince greeted each other as he was walking inside and Wizard left.
"Good afternoon Father, Queen said you asked of me, and how is he now?" He asked.
"He is fine! Let's go outside so that he can rest because Wizard said that he must have a deep rest" The King said, and looked at the third King. He was just looking and he was unable to talk.
"Okay father!" The Prince said and leaving the room with his father. The third King was looking at them as they were leaving the room, closed his eye as the door closed and wanted to sleep.
"Where did you go to this morning that nobody knows your whereabout?" The king asked as they were walking along the corridor of the King's chamber.
"I went to hunt with the young armies and I don't know I should still tell you Father" Said with low voice.
"You have to let me know before you go anywhere, just left the palace anyhow. What if something happened to you or you are attacked by enemies"
"I just went to hunt with the young armies. Sorry for not telling you father" Said with low voice.
"It's fine, how is it?" Asked with low voice.
"It was fine. There is something I want to do and it's your order that I am waiting for, Father" two of them were walking on a straight line and beside each other.
"Waiting for my order, for what?" He asked loudly.
"We shot a lady by mistake as we were hunting thought that she was an animal because of the way she is and the way she was running in the jungle. We traced her down to where she was living and saw that it's that jungle that she is living with all those wide animals and which is dangerous for her. So I want her to come to the palace" said with low voice and waiting for response.
"A human being is living in a jungle and she is even a lady, why is she living there and how come?"
"We are unable to talk to her, just want to bring her to the palace so that she can stop living a risky life there with those wide animal" the King stopped walking as they got to the meeting hall where other cousins were.
"I don't know what to say for now, you have to be careful for just want to bring a stranger to the palace" Said with loud voice. The guards opened the door for them, and waiting for them to enter.
"She can't be an evil person, just give me your order" Said loudly as they entered into the hall.
"How is the third brother? How is he feeling now?" The fifth King said and walking closed to the King
"We will talk later son" Said and walked closed to the front, the Prince turned back and leaving the hall.
"He is fine now, Wizard just said that he needs a rest for a whole day that nobody should disturb him or wants to take him away. We should just let him rest" He said and sat down on his cahir.
"I should have take my leave since, It's the clarify letter for the project that we did that I want to collect. You have said that is how you want to share it so no problem, can I get the clarify letter now brother" The second King said and all of them looked at him.
"Why are you so heartless like this, so all this doesn't concern you. Your brother's health doesn't concern you" fourth cousin said loudly.
"Even if you don't like someone you suppose to even show a care not to be totally heartless" Seventh King said with anger showed all over him.
"Will you just shut up! What gut do you have to be talking to me. Except from the rank, I am older than all of you here except from First brother and he on the sick bed. So all of you shut up and have respect---"
"It's you that you should shut up, like father like son. This was how your father too is heartless and didn't have good heart to his brothers"
"Don't ever talk to my father like that, don't ever in your life" He shouted at the First King.
"What are you going to do? You don't even suppose to be among the JAE-HWA'S family at all!" Said with anger.
"Please brother stop all this and take things easy" Sixth King whom was the young brother said.
"It will better you just shut up, you this baby King" The second King said and pouring another wine. The first King looked at him and just kept silent.
"What are we going to do about the health issues of the third brother? This has been getting serious?" Fifth king asked, he was the second young cousin among them.
"Who knows. Even, what can end that kind of sickness except from death, and now he doesn't have any child that mean he has been removed from our family. His Queen should just take over but still need our order----" the second King was talking when the first King shouted at him with loud voice.
"Shut up! Please stand up and start going! Enough for all this your stupidity. How can you open your mouth and be vomiting rubbish. Please, get up!"
"Please! Please!! Brother, stop shouting at me. What rubbish is this?" He said with loud voice and stood up with anger showed all over him.
"Hear out the rubbish that he is vomiting out" The first King said with anger showed all over him.
"Send my clarify letter, waiting for it!" Said with loud voice and leaving the room. Sound of the door closed.
"We are sorry on his behalf, First brother" Others said in chorused as he left and apologised.
"It's fine, he is my younger brother, and I know him too well so it's fine!" He said with smiles on his face and got down from his chair.
"I will be in my living room, let me know when you are leaving" Talked to others and leaving the room.
×××××××××
Hyun-Ok entered the palace with horse and he was coming from somewhere. He stopped the horse and got down, he met the second King got down from the staircases at the King's chamber.
"I greet you my King!" Hyun-Ok greeted him with respect and he was wearing a blue and white long gown.
"I am not in good mood now, see you later" Said with low voice and entering into the carriage.
"As you said my King" He said and leaving the place, walking very fast like someone on the horse and going to the King's chamber.
The men that came with second King climbed on the horse and riding them out from the palace.
The Queen was still in the living room and weaving a thread. The guards greeted Hyun-Ok and opened the door widely for him. He entered and going inside, the Queen stopped what she was doing and went to welcome him. Two of them kissed each other deeply and like two lovers.
They quickly separated as they heard the sound of the door opened and started greeting each other normally. The Queen and Hyun-Ok had been in a secret love relationship for a long time even before Zhang Min's death and king didn't know anything.
"I greet you brother" Hyun-Ok said as the King entered.
"Welcome back, how was that place?" The king said and sat down on the chair beside the Queen when door opened and the Prince entered.
"It was fine brother" Standing at the front of him.
"Oh uncle you are back! Welcome back" the Prince was very happy to see him.
"How are you?" Asked with smiles and looking at him.
"I am good uncle. Father I am here for your order" He said with low voice.
"Hope it's not that you are waiting for his order for? Want to bring a total stranger into the palace" the Queen said with loud voice.
"Who is that you want to bring to the palace?" Hyun-Ok asked but the Queen replied before he spoke.
"Said they mistakenly shot her in the jungle today during hunting and want to bring that kind of person to the palace. Don't you know it's risky" Said loudly.
"Yes it's! What if she is sent by someone?" Hyun-Ok too said. It was their evil deeds that made them to be so suspicious and vigilant.
"Father talk, It's your order I am waiting for please. How can you said a young lady like that should be living in that jungle, it's risky for her and I know she can't be evil" He said with loud voice.
"My son go and bring her to the palace" The King said and the Queen looked at him.
"How can you said that?" She asked loudly.
"Jungle is not where a human being should be living. My Prince, go and bring her to the palace, and excuse me" he said with loud voice and nobody could talk again.
"As you said father, thank you Father. Tomorrow morning we will go for her" The Prince was very happy, bow for his father and leaving the room.
The Prince climbed the staircase down with joy full his face and running to the backyard of the army's house and at where Ha-Neul was.
Ha-Neul was beside the well there and shaping his sword when Prince got there.
"Father has gave his older on that girl and that is what I have been waiting for" He said as he got there.
"Oh! So what did he say?" He asked.
"He said we should go and bring her to the palace. He didn't even listen to mother at all. I am happy for that" He had like THANIYA as he saw her for the first time.
"Wow! That is good then but she will needs alot of training and corrections before she can be behaving like a human being" He said.
"Just get her out from that place first" Prince said and sat down on a stone opposite to Ha-Neul.
