On the other hand, Lady Cheon Myeong hold her husband's hand. "Can please not to go and not to agree to lead the western border?" She said. General Son let out a deep sigh as he holding her hand. "You know that I can't. I need to be there, His Majesty needs me there to protect our land." General Son said. "But in that place died the late Crown Prince. I don't want you to be like him. Please, Yaebo..." Lady Cheon Myeong cried. General Son hug her as he trying to calm her down. "This is also for us especially for Eon Jin and her child. I want to make sure that she will be okay when she becomes the Queen. That's why I agree to lead the western border for not the enemy infiltrate us." He said. "If I failed to protect our land and I die, atleast I did my best trying to protect our daughter and Silla." He said. Lady Cheon Myeong couldn't help but cry.

Months has been passed, Eon Jin felt her tummy got more heavy and she felt there's something pushing on  her core  everytime she had to walk. "Your Highness, Are you okay? You're sweating." Wol Sook said when Eon Jin stop from her walk. They're on the back of the palace where her garden will be seen. This garden is made for her. The Queen Dowager command them to build a separate garden for Eon Jin when she learn that Eon Jin loves flowers and plants. In this space, Eon Jin had some "Me time". Thanks to the Queen Dowager who always spoiling her.

"Can we go back to the quarters?..." Eon Jin said. "Waeyo? Is there something hurt?" Wol Sook asked as she started to get worried. "Ani, I think it's because my baby is growing that's why I feel something weird." She said. "Arasso..." Wol Sook said.

They're walking near the bridge when they saw Prince Yu Shin in the middle of their walk. "Your Highness..." Prince Yu Shin greeted her. Eon Jin let out a force smile and greeted him. "I heard that you want to build a school for the young servant, Your Highness..." He said. "Yes, your right Prince Yu Shin." Eon Jin replied. "I couldn't believe that idea is from a mere princess like you, Your Highness." Yu Shin said. "But I like the idea. I was hoping that it will be successful and no conflicts between the royals and to the nobles in the future." He added. Eon Jin smile before she speak. "It will never be a conflict if we discuss it clearly to both parties. And also, if no one will intently cause a gap between the royals and the nobles, you know what I mean, Prince Yu Shin..." Eon Jin said. Yu Shin smile faded and started to get annoyed. "What are you trying to say, Your Highness?" Prince Yu Shin said. Eon Jin smirked, "I heard that you support all the Ministers who against to the Crown Prince to be the future King of Silla." Eon Jin said. Yu Shin try to let out a force smile for him to hide his annoyance. "I thought, you are a loving uncle of Crown Prince but why I  always feel that there's something odd about you?" She said while looking at his eyes. Prince Yu Shin couldn't control himself and hold Eon Jin to her arms as he tighten his grip. "Prince Yu Shin!" Wol Sook said but Yu Shin ignored her. "You, You didn't know who am I, Princess Eon Jin? So If I were you, I will keep my mouth shut." He whispered. Eon Jin try to control her nervousness. "Just continue to be an obedient wife and do your job as a baby maker for the Crown Prince, Arasso?" Yu Shin said. Eon Jin try to release her arms from his hold but Yu Shin tighten his grip. "You think, you will scared me in your words? Aniyo! I will stand and protect my husband for those people who are trying to make him down... Mark my word, Prince Yu Shin..." Eon Jin said. Yu Shin couldn't control himself as he tighten more his grip. Eon Jin feel pain because of that. "Let me go, I think you forgot who am I inside the palace..." Eon Jin said as he trying to control her nervousness.

"Prince Yu Shin!..." Tae Pyung shouted as he saw his uncle holding his wife on her arms. Yu Shin and Eon Jin look at to Tae Pyung and he forcely release Eon Jin from his hold. "What are you doing?" Tae Pyung said when he approached them. "I'm sorry Your Highness, If I've been rude to you... I... Was so sad because Woo Sung left me because of you." Yu Shin said. Eon Jin couldn't believe that he's now using his own son just to protect himself. "I promise that this will never happened again, Your Royal Highness." Yu Shin said to Tae Pyung.

When they reach their quarters, Tae Pyung immediately held her in her arms to sit on their bed. "Are you okay?" He asked. Eon Jin smile as she nodded. "What happened between the two of you? I saw in uncle's eyes the annoyance towards you." He said. Eon Jin didn't know if she will going to tell him because all she knew that Tae Pyung is close to his uncle. "Your Royal Highness... I don't trust him..." She said. Tae Pyung look at her. "I heard some rumors that Prince Yu Shin is supporting the ministers who are against you. I'm afraid that he will do something to harm you." She said. Tae Pyung hold her hands. "I feel how you care for me but you misheard it. There's some ministers want my uncle to be the King, that's the Queen told me." Tae Pyung said. "He's already change since Hyung left the palace. Give him a chance, Eon Jin... Can you?" Tae Pyung said. Eon Jin didn't speak again and forcely nodded. Wol Sook is about to speak up but Eon Jin signal her to stop her.
