The Chase

"Thank you for today, Hae Soo" said Han Sung while she just smile back to him

"We need to go now, Take care of yourself" Hae-Suk said and hug her sister tight before letting go

"Let's go Han Sung" said Hae-Suk to him dragging him

"Oka-" han Sung was cutted off by the guards shouting not far from them

"Look for the prince! We return to the palace before sunrise!" Said one guard as they went seperate ways to find the prince

As the guard was approaching their way, Hae Soo pulled them into a little passage between two walls to hide from the guard that was about to approach their way

"What are we going to do?" Said Han Sung with a low voice avoiding to get attention from others

"After they went away, we run to Hae Soo's place" said Hae-Suk

"What" Hae Soo shouted with a low voice and Han Sung covered her mouth to prevent more noise to escape her mouth but she bit the palm of Han Sung, causing him to let go of her mouth

"Are you seriously going to involve me" said Hae Soo this time with much lower voice

"We can't go anywhere than yours especially that you are the only one who saw the prince's face" Hae-Suk responded to

After some time the guards fled to other direction, giving them time to escape the place

They ran as fast as they could through the crowded streets to get in Hae Soo's place without getting the attention of the imperial guard

As luck wasn't on their side, one of them recognize them

"There they are! Follow them!" Said the imperial guard and they rean after the three of them but due to the crowd that were in the street it's hard for them to make their way to the three

The three of them got away immediately while laughing at the guards stuck in the crowd

"Theu won't catched up now!" Said Han Sung happily while running

They reached the Hanok of Hae Soo and they went inside

"Now, let's wait for the guard to leave and you leave my hanok in instance" Hae Soo said still catching her breath

"Can we stay here for a night?" Hae-Suk asked her as he sit down on the floor

"What" she shouted from the shocking request of her brother

"I would get in a lot of trouble if they found out that the Prince and his eunuch is staying in this kind of place" reasoning of Hae Soo as she walked back and forth the small Hanok

"Please let us stay for a night...I promise not to let you in trouble" said the prince pleading for the girl walking back and forth

"Promise?" Said Hae Soo as she stopped walking

"I promise"

"Okay" said Hae Soo as she got ready to call it a day

They lie down and close the lamp that lights the whole Hanok

"Thank you for letting us stay here" said Han Sung with a smile on his face facing Hae Soo

"No problem....prince" said Hae Soo as she gave a low chuckle but smile back to the prince

They closed their eyes as they drifted off to sleep

《☆》《☆》《☆》《☆》《☆》 《☆》

"Did you find the prince?" Asked the Emperor while looking at the General and bunch of imperial guards

"We failed to catch the prince, give us the punishment for failing you Emperor"
Said the General as he lwered his self and the guards follow as they repeat what their General told the Emperor

"We Failed to catch the prince, give us the punishment for failing you Emperor"

"That prince, what will I do to protect you from those scums that tried to bring you down?" Said the Emperor worriedly towards his son

As the sun rises the Governors were gathered at the hall with the Emperor  discussing about the matter of the prince

"My liege, the prince had broke your orders several times!" One of the Governor reason out about the prince

Several Governors agreed to the Governor and the Emperor just look at them while the Empress was smiling michevously and the princess saw it and was not happy about it

"My liege, dethrone Prince Han Sung!" The other governor said bowing respect to the emperor and repeatedly chanting those words

"Emperor..please don't dethrone my brother!" Princess Han Rin said to her father with respect

"Now entering! Prince Han Sung!" The eunuch said and all their gazes went to the Prince walking towards the throne with a straight face with his eunuch

"Emperor, I will speak for my side" The prince bow and face the front looking at the rubbish governors trying to be the king of the nation

"I went outside the palace to see a different perspective of the things between inside the palace and outside" the prince said

"To know what to improve and what life they lived in all their lives while the aristocrats live with wealth so when I become the next emperor...I know how to put the nation as my first resposibility" he continued

The Emperor , Hae-Suk and the princess smiled for the prince accomplishment

He will be a rightful ruler of this nation against rubbish Governors the Emperor thought

The Empress was not fond of how the Emperor smiled at the prince's statement

I can't put someone to the throne now that the Emperor was so pleased with the prince..I have to think of another way to control that prince The Empress thought as she look at Han Sung with unreadable expression

You can never rule the nation freely Prince Han Sung, I will make sure of that The Empress thought as she smiled michevously
