Han Jiwoo went back to her tent feeling frustrated that things did not go as planned and started kicking things around her in anger, why could her mother not just treat her like every other parents did to their children, why was her case so different.
The thought of it completely destroyed Han Jiwoo mood as she sat down on her bed in deep thoughts her hands used to support her head.
She was feeling a bit stuffy and felt likee removing the cloths in which she had tied around her chest area but it was too dangerous as people are lurking about, If she is mistakenly found out to be a girl then not only with her mother hate her the more, Han Jiwoo was sure that her father would not even spare her a glance any more.
"I should just go for a work." Han Jiwoo concluded standing up hoping that the scenery would at least lighten up her mood.
As she passed by the meeting tent, Han Jiwoo noticed Generals trooping into the place including Song Yuan and Bogsu.
Her heart was filled ith grievance when she figured out that a meeting was being held and she had not been called into it.
She could have just ignored it but Han Jiwoo's pride did not want to take the matter laying down as she marched towards the tent's direction fuming in anger.
Before she could step a single foot into the tent, the two guards at the tent's entrance let down their spears forming an X barrier.
"What do you think you're doing?! I'm the crown prince." Han Jiwoo said through gritted teeth but the guards did not show an ounce of emotions on their face as they held onto the spear tightly and when Lin Wei came, they opened up their barrier so that he could pass.
"Why does he get to pass? He doesn't even have any title!" Han Jiwoo complained as her eyes started to water once more, she could not believe that she was being treated like this by her own people, what sort of Emperor would they see her as in future then. The thought alone infuriated Han Jiwoo beyond measures.
"Well since I was the one that saved his royal Highness I now have the authority to be able to attend such meetings, your Highness." Lin Wei said in a simple and polite tone still being respectful to Han Jiwoo only because of his title if not he would have beaten him to pulp long ago with him unable to recover for a long time.
"What?! How could that be!!" Han Jiwoo exclaimed loudly and not long after, Han Jisung came out with a frown on his face and other generals at his back.
Seeing Han Jiwoo, Han Jisung decided to ignore him and instead faced the security guard, "What is the noice all about?" Han Jisung inquired with a frown on his face not looking happy at all.
"Father?!" Han Jiwoo called out in a whiny voice irritating Han Jisung even further.
"It is clear you are not wanted here, so you may leave and also you are a man start to behave like one instead of whining about like a little child." Haan Jisung scolded ruthlessly not minding that there were people behind him because he felt that it was none of their business as he was scolding his own son and he had every right to do that whichever way that he does it.
Unable to take it in any longer, Han Jiwoo's lips started to quiver as she was about to burst out into tears at any moment from then and seeing Bogsu's mocking face broke the damn.
Turning around so no one would see her tears, Han Jiwoo ran off sobbing going to the nearby stream where she sat down gazing at the night sky.
"It seems that Han Jiwoo does not fit to be the emperor with this attitude." Bogsu did not miss the opportunity to comment while Song Yuan just stared at her wondering what her motive was and why she was behaving that way targeting Han Jiwoo.
Han Jisung did not respond as he turned around and walked away feeling bitter within him as he zoned out completely from the plans that were being discussed by everyone except Han Jisung of course, Bogsu and Song Yuan.
That day, if he had not travelled would have the bandits attacked? If that happened then his wife and child would definitely be alive by now, Han Jisung thought regretting the decision he had made during his youth, it seems now he was going to suffer from ut and die on the earth as a lonely man before going to finally join his wife and child of there and then they would have their perfect family reunion.
"Your Highness?" One of the generals called out for the third time before Han Jisung finally snapped back to reality.
"Yes what is it?" Han Jisung asked with an extremely cold face trying to cover up his embarrassment of being caught zoning out.
"We were asking if the strategy was okay." Another of the generals chipped in.
Han Jisung felt even more embarrassed as he heard what they said and he could not bring himself to tell them to over it again but at the corner of his eyes, he saw Bogsu giving him a slight nod which made a show gratitude at her with his eyes before turning to look at the generals before him.
"Yes it's a good plan, so you can go on with it." And with that Han Jisung turned his back and left as the gloomy clouds that danced over his head was quite obvious and not very discrete in any ways.
As Song Yuan was lost in his own thoughts trying to figure out everything, he noticed the Interaction between Bogsu and Han Jisung which he found suspicious at first but later decided to brush it off.
