The group stayed in their rooms for the night, however, two were not with them. And had not joined them for the entire night. (I wonder who they are....)
Jihyun on the other hand,was in her chambers, attempting to calm down after the series of events that took place only a few minutes before.
Flashback
"Eomma, how are children made?"
"Well, it is a complicated process you see." She sighed, before pausing again.
"Why do you ask such a question Jihyun?"
"Because I don't look like you or appa. Jinheung oppa looks like appa, and Sooyeon eonni looked like you..."
Her eyes widened in shock.
Jihyun not supposed to find out about the secret. And she could tell that if this conversation continued, it would be revealed. If it were revealed, Silla would fall to ruins.
"Jihyun-ah, why don't we wait for this conversation later, when you're older?"
"Arraseo eomma.."
The child skipped away to find someone to play with... Her "mother" watching her run off into the distance, turned away from the scene and began to plan what she would do with the child.
End
Jihyun now understood why she had not revealed her true genetics
Jihyun POV
That dratted woman didn't want to be overpowered. Tch. selfish, greedy, only wants power and land. She cares not-- There is no point in complaining over something I have completely no control over. I can only change myself, I cannot change what others think of me or how they think of things.
With that conclusion I rose from my chambers.
Flashback
Jihyun ran out of the gates and down the stairs. She was marveled by by her surroundings, with all the different stands and all the different things there were to be sold. Continuing her journey, she ended up buying a small bunny animal (idk what to phrase it as). Admiring the toy she hadn't noticed where she was walking and ended up running into the back of a boy, with him were a bunch of other boys.
"Hey look at this runt! Oh, what do you have there?" He snatched away your newly bought bunny stuffed animal.
"Hey! That's mine!" Jihyun attempted to jump up and reach her bunny.
The boys endlessly teased her and pushed her around, to the point where she began to cry.
"Ya! Give that back to her!" A little boy had ran in front of her and kicked them in the groin. The boys finally surrendered and the boy gave you the stuffed animal.
"Kamsahabnida.." Jihyun quietly thanked the boy.
"No problem!" He gave you a big grin and stuck a hand out to help you.
"I'm Hansung!"
"I'm Jihyun.."
"Are you shy? Don't be! I'm really nice! And smart!"
Jihyun smiled at the boy.
"That's good"
"I really am!"
"I didn't say you weren't"
"Oh... well--"
"HANSUNG!" An older boy marched over to the younger one. "I've been looking everywhere for you! And you end up being on the other side! Do you know how mad halboji has been at me!"
Hansung rolled his eyes. "Arraseo, arraseo, I get it hyung. This is Jihyun! Jihyun, this is my hyung Dansae!"
Dansae's eyebrows went up and he hit Hansung on the head and bowed.
"My apologies your highness, for my brother's behavior. I hope he hasn't caused you any trouble."
"Ani, he saved me from a few bullies. No need for formalities, but thank you for worrying about us."
*Hansung realizes* "YOU'RE A PRINCESS?! WOW"
From then on, the two were almost inseparable until the day that Jihyun was no longer allowed in the castle and was sent away.
End
Hansung was standing on the bridge staring down into the waters underneath. He looked up and saw two birds flying in the distance, playing in the air, unaware it was late into the night.
Hansung POV
Whatever I do seems to result in something backfiring. *throws a stone into the water* Smart aren't I. I push away someone because they keep a secret from me. Well, I deserved to know didn't I?! But it was her right to keep it from me. We promised that... But I broke it...
*Age 3, Sooyeon's departure*
Sooyeon lay on the bed, severely ill. The queen had made the decision to send her away to a different kingdom for her to heal in privacy and end up studying abroad. Jihyun followed Sooyeon everywhere before, but now, she had no one to go to to play all the time. From then on, to make Jihyun forget about Sooyeon, the queen ordered for Jinheung and Jihyun to be together for some time everyday, so that Sooyeon would be slowly erased into a faded memory.
End
Sooyeon walked in the gardens, not too long before she saw Hansung and walked up to him.
Sooyeon POV
"Hansung"
He turned around.
"Ah, Your Highness" I nodded in return.
"Did you run into the queen?"
"Er, yes. Did you?"
"Yes, I was given the task to terminate her."
His eyes widened and he growled.
"What do you mean."
"Apparently, my mother wanted to kill her to get the land from Baekje and end up conquering the third kingdom."
"She's corrupted."
"I know. But there's nothing we can do about it now can we?"
Hansung simply nodded and looked away.
Flashback
"You! You influenced him!"
She began to slap me and cut me in the side with my sword. (She took it and it cut me in the process)
"Eomoni!" I threw her off me, but she held the sword to my throat.
"Leave. Leave. I don't want you as my child. Go back to where you should've stayed. You should've never came back."
End
Queen POV
The pain slowly increased as the days went by. Jinheung was bound to become in complete control and would release it to the public. There was no other way to tell her that she was interfering with the plan and I had to remove her from the equation in order to succeed.
Third Person POV
Jihyun rose from her chambers, changed into casual clothing headed toward the bustling market.... and there....
