"I had to take care of mother, she was acting up again." Han jiwoo stated as a matter of fact.
Han Jisung sighed as he heard his son wordings, he wanted to make sure his son grew up in a loving home but he couldn't help it, despite the many years that has passed since his beloved died he couldn't bring himself to fall in love with another woman.
The only reason why Han jiwoo was born was due to the wedding consummation and that was all, he had never had the heart to touch another woman but his beloved and now she was gone.
Remembering his beloved and their daughter caused Han Jisung to have a sad expression on his face making Han Jiwoo think his father felt remorse for what he did to his mother.
"Father there is no need to feel remorseful, if you just show her how apologetic you are I'm sure mother would forgive you." Han jiwoo persuaded hoping to convince his father.
Han Jisung knew his son misinterpreted his expression but decided to leave it as that, he didn't what to shatter his hopes for a loving parents again.
"Hmmmm, I know she will, have a seat." Han Jisung finally said pointing to the chairs that were opposite him.
Han jiwoo looked at the chairs that were opposite his father although there was a table separating them he still hesitated in seating across his father it has been years, they last sat down together to talk.
Han jiwoo dragged the chair back and sat down on it as he adjusted his robes at the front.
"Father, may I ask you why you requested my presence?" Han Jiwoo asked after revising the question in his head severally to see if it sounded offensive.
"As you know i'm getting older and grey hair can already be seen out of my hair." Han Jisung commented looking into space as if he was reminiscing about his life, he had ascended the throne at age twenty and had done a lot of things to secure his power and authority in his Kingdom and the other Kingdoms.
It was in his quest for power he left to another Kingdom leaving his beloved and daughter alone on that fateful night that led to their death, if only he had been there with them.
Han jisung let out a sigh again, "i'm thinking we should hold an official ceremony announcing you as the crown prince, just to be safe." Han Jisung said.
Han jiwoo eyes popped up in Surprise, his father wanted to willingly announce him as the crown prince.
As he was about to ask when it would hold a servant came knocking hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, something terrible is happening at the gates." The servant said with a sense of urgency in his voice as he continued looking outside .
Han Jisung stood up abruptly,not hearing the remaining details from the servant. "Our conversation would be continued later." He hurriedly told Han Jiwoo leaving with the servant.
Han jiwoo wanted to smash the whole place but controlled himself, it was his father's study he couldn't get in the bad books of his father at least not now, he wanted to go see what could have put the servant in frenzy like that and immediately stood up running to go after his father.
On getting to the get Han Jisung felt like beating himself up at what he saw, it was none other than Bogsu on a white tiger drinking from a wine bottle.
The guards were trying to catch her but she kept using them as a game, allowing them to be close to her then shifting away from them swiftly.
The entrance of the the grand Chi nation palace had now turned into a garden for children.
Bogsu turned round the grass in laughter seeing the guards trying their best to catch her but they couldn't.
Han jiwoo scratched his eyes for a second because it seemed as if the white tiger too was smiling mockingly at the guards like they were meats playing at it's doorstep.
"Bogsu, what is the meaning of this?" Han Jisung asked regretting his decision of making the lady on the tiger a general at his palace.
"I already told you that i start my work today i'm just training their stamina." Bogsu answered swiftly coming down Alice and patting her fur.
Alice glared at Han Jisung, it was because of this meat her master wanted to stop playing, no fun ,no fun at all, it thought and sat down on the ground angrily.
Han jisung not being able to understand the sudden hatred directed at him by animal asked Bogsu "What is this animal doing here? the palace is not a zoo."
"Oh, this here is my pet, Alice." Bogsu stated releasing an Aura that made Han Jisung unable to talk to support his query.
Nodding satisfactorily Bogsu gave Alice a bit of her wine as a reward for the running around she did earlier.
"If she's your pet, you aren't meant to give her wine , it's bad for animals." Han jiwoo finally talked jealous at the fact a lowlife like Bogsu had a pet such as the rare white tiger breed which it fur shines spectaculously.
"Not all animals are like you." Bogsu said directly implying that Han jiwoo was an animal.
"You..." Han jiwoo was out of words to say and wanted to turn to his father for help but was interrupted by his mother who ran aggressively towards them.
"Oh no, what was his mother up to now." Han jiwoo thought.
"Bogsu!!" Song Minhyun yelled aggressively running towards Bogsu with all her might and in the process she kicked a stone and fell down face flat on the Stony paths.
Song Minhyun didn't give up and stood back up almost immediately running towards Bogsu again not minding how pity full she looked.
Bogsu looked at Song Minhyun with disgust wondering what the dumb human was up to once again maybe she has not learnt her lesson from last time, she doesn't mind teaching her in front of her beloved husband Bogsu thought preparing to raise her legs as Song Minhyun got closer.
