I'll promise to her that I'll visit her again." Eon Jin said. "But Crown Princess, I cannot allow you.. Your safety is more important..." Eon Jin said. "But Your Highness... She's only a twelve year old lady and I don't want her to be heartbroken if she couldn't see me today... And I also want to check on her if her seizure is gone...

You waited her for too long and that's enough." Tae Pyung said. "We will back again next time..." He added. So Hee smile faded, "Aniyo! She will come as she promised... I know she's coming... She promised me..." So Hee said. Tae Pyung let out a deep sigh. "Arasso..." He said.
