PRIVATE MEETING

Bogsu glared heavily as she watched the guard leave with all her goodies. Han Jiwoo stared at his father in surprise, the father and Emperor of Chi state in which he knew would never tolerate anyone addressing him by his real name, his pride wouldn't allow it but he actually pardoned Bogsu only seizing her wine this is outrageous.

"I hope his Majesty won't mind if I go to the guest house in the village." Bogsu said sarcastically rolling her eyes.

Han Jisung was about to reply her when she had already exited her chambers in a flash not giving him any room to talk, he knew the guest house Bogsu was talking her about, it was a guest house just in name but where male prostitutes where sold.

Han Jisung realized a pained expression unknowingly as he felt a tug in his heart, why was he feeling this way just because he had meted punishment on her.

Why does it hurt to realize that he was the reason why the brat was angry and went to such a place.

Han Jiwoo stared at his father expecting him to order the guards to bring Bogsu back even if he knew it was pointless. But Han Jiwoo still wanted his father to take an action against the girl to make him feel satisfied at least for a bit.

"You can withdraw now, remember Bogsu is your general now, so regardless of the situation or regardless of how arrogant she might be always stay subjective to her." Han Jisung lectured the guards.

The guards had originally wanted to nod in response to the Emperor words but the Crown prince black face made them pause their movements.

It was then they remembered they had originally pledged their loyalty to the crown prince during the period he was to take the general position, now they were at a fix either to heed to the Emperor's words or follow their pledge to the crown prince.

Han Jisung about saying another sentence at the absence of response of the guards when a retching voice was heard, The people present in the room all turned their heads to see one of the drunk maids vomiting her hearts out.

Oh that's right, the mess Bogsu made, "take the maidens away, also give them some coins when they sober up, they are hereby relieved from their post." Han Jisung ordered with authority in his voice as he looked at the maid vomiting, he originally had the idea of leaving the vomit there so Bogsu could get back and see it but it's heart wouldn't let him.

"Get someone to clean the mess." Han Jisung added before turning his back to leave the room.

"Father, with all due respect, I think you are getting soft." Han Jiwoo queried from behind making Han Jisung pause in his steps, they were already out of the chambers and they were the only ones on the stony paths.

Han Jisung turned around and smiled dangerously, "What did you just say." His voice contained a warning threat in it but Han Jiwoo was too angry to read it.

"I said you are getting soft Father." Han Jiwoo repeated.

"I dare you to say that again." Han Jisung said moving closer to Han Jiwoo with anger written in his eyes.

It was then Han Jiwoo sensed the danger in his voice, "I...I.....Sa...Said... Y....Yo..." Han Jiwoo stuttered unable to bring the full sentence out.

"Why are you stuttering all of a sudden I remember you said it boldly just now, so why are you stuttering, huh." Han Jisung asked moving closer and closer to Han Jiwoo with a cold look in his eyes.

Han Jiwoo gulped in response unable to answer, Han Jiwoo remembered the last time he felt this fear and inability to respond, it was when he and Bogsu had battled that day, the look was the same, everything was the same, but why?

"Your Majesty, what are you doing." Song Minhyun voice rang out from behind causing Han Jiwoo to realize a sigh of relief at least his mother had saved him just now or only the heavens know what his father would have done to him.

Han Jisung blinked repeatedly then his eyes had the solemn, nonchalant look it usually had dispelling the murderous aura.

Han Jisung and Han Jiwoo turned to see Song Minhyun in a red dress similar to the one that Bogsu always wore, what is his mother up to again, she really going nuts. Han Jiwoo thought deeply.

"What are you wearing?" Han Jisung questioned calmly, Song Minhyun was usually known for her pink robes and other colours, this was the first time Han Jisung had seen her wearing red and on top of that she wore one that was similar to Bogsu's own.

"Greetings your majesty." Song Minhyun bowed slightly exuding the aura of a calm noble lady.

Han Jiwoo was almost tempted to scratch his eyes to check if it was his mother that was gentle as this, well it was only for his father, that is how crazy love has made her.

Song Minhyun heart raced with joy when Han Jisung asked her that question, it meant he had been paying attention to her to notice that she doesn't wear red clothes.

Yes was very sure of the plan she devised to frame Bogsu, since Han Jisung could notice the change of her clothes that means he loves her very much more than the lowlife.

"Your Majesty may I see you in private." Song Minhyun said softly.

Han Jiwoo couldn't really believe his ears, If someone had earlier pointed to him that this woman was his mother he would rather eat grass than to believe it, her real attitude highly contrasts to this one.

Han Jisung at first wanted to refuse Song Minhyun request but on second thoughts decided to accept as his son was watching them, Han Jisung knew that he had over reacted earlier but that was a thought for later, now it was time to see why Song Minhyun wants to meet in private.
