"Whatever caused his death, you killed him."
...****************...
In the past, I lived a life of love and compassion. I adorned the whole little story with laughter and empathy.
My father ...
Mum ...
Brother ....
Happy ... full of joy. Passing through the smallest corners far away, befriend those who are full of love.
I ... have lost myself, the old Lee Youra.
When that shot lodged in my heart, all that love turned into an eyeless hatred. I was blind ...
I thought I was the one suffering.
I thought I was the one who lived with wounds. Alone, bathed in tears.
In fact .. I was wrong. I never really suffered. I was never really alone and miserable. The star that keeps flooding this stupid me with love.
I am the .. who creates the wound. Me and my stupidity, forcing death to take away everything.
Crown Prince, my husband ... If only the heavens hadn't brought us together, would you have sought me out for us to meet?
Just one more time ...
Can I see you again?
There's something I haven't said, something I've been doubting all along.
Husband ...
Ilove you.

(Three hours earlier)
"Crown Prince ... " Easim Cho and the rest of the Crown Prince's servants cried sobbing. They all faced the Crown Prince on his orders. There is nothing to say, other than tears to answer.
"This once, I beg you not to go." Eunuch Cho touched the tip of the luxurious robe. Her face was swollen, crying all night was not enough to ease that poignant taste. "Your Majesty, you may go out of the palace, you may go for a walk or eat too much rice cake as before. The Servant will not forbid you again, provided you remain here. Your Majesty, do you remember when you were a young man? You asked the servant to meet you with Young Master Lee Young while he was at the palace, but didn't it be because you saw his little sister pick him up, his sister who is now your empress? At that moment, you smile every day. Actually, I already know you lied about your way out of the palace. Slave knows you're in love with him. You want to see it back."
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for always stealing your rice cakes. Eat it quietly so you don't eat it too often. You never rebuked me, even if you knew it. From now on, I won't steal your favorite rice cakes anymore. But please, stay in the palace." Eunuch Cho unceasingly persuaded the Crown Prince. Holding the robe to not immediately move.
The Crown Prince touched Kasim Cho's hand, grasping it long enough. "Thank you for being such a loyal servant. Without you, I'm really lonely in this palace. Eunuch Cho, don't say that, do you doubt my abilities?" ask the Crown Prince gently meaningfully.
"Your Majesty ... " The whole cry was simple, after the Crown Prince had left his residence to meet His Majesty the King.

The door of the luxurious room was opened, the Crown Prince set foot in his father's luxurious room. The king who was lying weak, his face was constantly being fed by tears.
"Dad, how are you?" The Crown Prince did not cry at all. He looks very strong and brave.
The king, unable to turn his face due to severe pain, looked straight at the ceiling of the residence. The king took the son's hand for the first time. All this time, he continued to be angry with his son, even though his son knew nothing. Putting all wrongs upon his son and imposing all his will. Not even listening.
"My son .. "the king's weeping is so difficult.
"Why don't you hate me?" The king grasped the hand full of wounds very tightly.
So sad, the king could not even breathe.
"My son, will you forgive your father?"
The king was struggling to speak, due to the pain and tightness he suffered. He realized the terrible mistake he had made. It slowly destroys everything. He rejected the whole prophecy, and he believed it himself. He hated the son who loved him very much. He never knew how long the boy had been suffering. Never thought, the child who lives suffering never felt love and life sickly.
The Crown Prince returned the father's grasp. This was the first time the king called him "my son" while shedding tears. "I never hated Dad. I miss you." Very loudly his son replied, not showing the slightest doubt.
The Crown Prince squealed, right next to his father. "It's nice, dad called me that. It's the first time, I'm hearing it." The Crown Prince swept the father's tears with his thumb. "Don't regret anything. Dad stay strong. I will save this country, as much as I can. I promised you at my mother's grave." The Crown Prince rubbed his father's hand, which was haunted by his deepest regrets, before he left the palace completely.

(Returned in the previous episode)
"good. I accept it."
The rest of them were laughing out loud, as if knowing how big their chances of victory were. The Crown Prince lowered his face, already knowing about the meaning of their laughter. The middle-aged man glanced at the Crown Prince's scarred pale hand, looking for a loophole to commit fraud. "It seems that the future king of this country is ill. Are you in pain, Your Majesty?" asked the middle-aged man full of insinuation. Not to mention the Crown Prince replied, a young man came over, whispering a pitiful info to the middle-aged man.
The Crown Prince looked at them, surprised as the man clapped. "Unbelievably, it turns out that we are not facing the future king. We have gone before the king of this land."
"What do you mean?" ask the Crown Prince in confusion. "His Majesty the King, he is dead."
(Lifted \= Died)
The Crown Prince's face changed instantly, when he heard the news of his father's death shattering his hopes.
"Hey all stand up, pay your respects to the king of this land!" The middle-aged man stood up, followed by everyone who was there. Bowing respect to His Highness the Crown Prince, who will automatically be crowned king of this country. The Crown Prince could only petrify, bowing his sorrowful face for a few seconds.
"Because you have no children, if you die then the throne will fall to your sister. Who do you want to be the leader of this country? Prince Yul or Prince Hon?"
The middle-aged man's words were not at all responded to by the Crown Prince who was being crushed. The Crown Prince tightly clenched his hand, storing all of that anger energy into it.

Ara went down the stairs, approaching her to the husband who was about to leave the residence. The tears fell to the ground. Ara touched her stomach, clutching tightly to the baby as if she was in the warm of her body. Prince Yul had already stepped up, but his wife's two beautiful hands held her arms.
"My husband, stay home." A sigh of Ara showed the cry for the first time in front of her husband. Prince Yul turned around, seeing that cry on his wife's face.
"Think of the baby in my belly, my husband." Ara put that hope deep down there.
Prince Yul lowered his half body. "It's my chance to get that position" Prince Yul said, releasing his arm.
"I don't want you like that. I don't need your wealth." Ara kept shedding tears.
"I don't care, about what you want."
"Will you, make your baby, the son of a traitor?" ara kept trying to keep her husband away.
Ara dropped her body, resting at Prince Yul's feet. "Think of me, just once. Forget about everything, and let's live happily with our baby. It doesn't matter if you have to be poor and suffer. As long as you are with me, I will be very happy." Ara touched the leg, holding it back to stay.
"Mom!" Prince Yul forcefully pulled his foot away. Ara fell down, trying to get back up with her sick stomach to stand up.
"Prince Yul .. Doesn't it feel to you, how much I love you? My Prince, there is only one who will remain alive after this, and I don't want you or the Crown Prince to die in vain." Ara limped closer to the husband whose steps stopped.
"My husband, awake ... You never suffer. You are the one who has everything. But Crown Prince, he has nothing. Don't you realize that? The King, Queen, people, and wife who love you .. Isn't it enough for you? The Crown Prince has nothing, my Prince. No mother's love, no father's love, no wife's love, no one loves her, not even the people. Did you take that precious thing from him? How could you kill a sister who never hated you?"
"He's not stupid, my prince. He must have known he was going to die at that meeting. But she's coming, she's coming, my husband. Give that right to you indirectly. If you don't feel sorry for me and your baby, don't you feel sorry for him? Open your eyes, have you ever seen her happy? His empress, even wanting to kill him, the queen wanted to kill him, and his brother wanted to kill him. Why, why does everything have to be like that? I can't see much suffering anymore, my husband. I can't hate Youra and eliminate her as you wish. If you still want to do it, kill me and your baby first."
Love and hope are all tied to the same sword. It was a short meeting full of tears. They do not see everything, only reflect on ambition and revenge. In the end, it is they who regret it.
