Can I See You Again

The Trial Begins

Prince Hon who had not set foot in the palace for a long time, that day came as a guest of honor for the meeting and the trial that will be held soon. Prince Hon glanced at the entire audience and participants. No one was absent, but he did not see Prince Yul there. He also did not see Jun who served as the Chief Minister of Education and Culture present. Even he did not hear the return of Princess Shin who had gone out of nowhere.

At that moment, the officials and the people whispered to each other. They were confused about what the king really meant to gather them all in the wide-open palace grounds. At that time, Prime Minister Han was not present. Soon the king will arrive with his wife.

"Welcome, Prince Hon. Long time no see you. How are you doing?" One of the ministers greeted Prince Hon. "Okay" replied Prince Hon. He immediately turned to the ministers who were whispering. It seems they started gossiping about the king. Prince Hon just smiled faintly at all of that.

Prime Minister Han has just arrived. As always, he was late. However, his performance and cleverness were undeniable. That is why no one can be angry with him, not even the king.

"Prime minister, why do I feel bad, huh? Thank goodness you came. Seeing everyone's faces made me feel bad." One of the ministers whispered to Prime Minister Han.

At that time, Prime Minister Han's eyes were only busy tracing one by one the officials present. Every chief minister will stand at the very front. However, he did not see Jun there. Since the last meeting with his son, Prime Minister Han has been unable to sleep comfortably. He was tired enough to look for Jun's whereabouts, but Jun wasn't known where. Prime Minister Han breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Jun did not escape the queen. He was only afraid that his crazy son would do something reckless.

"Am I not your son, Father?"

That sentence rang out every time. Crawled the entire corner of his head without any gaps at all. His heart was heartbroken and riled. As the eyes were busy walking around, he accidentally saw a strange look on the Chief Minister of War. From earlier, the Chief Minister of War looked uneasy and kept glancing at the throne. Just like the others, perhaps he had a strange premonition.

The Chief Minister of War accidentally caught Prime Minister Han looking at him. He immediately threw away his face and pretended to be calm. Everyone threw a look at each other. Confusion because the people were also allowed to attend the trial.

***

The Queen Mother sat on the bed in a white dress. He no longer screams or screams. Looks resigned not moving. He ate and drank like never before. It's just .. His tears kept flowing nonstop with a flat face.

"My dear ... was my son present at the meeting?" ask the Queen Mother with her voice.

"Prince Hon is coming, Your Majesty. However, we have not seen Prince Yul and Princess Shin since morning. The meeting will begin soon."

"I want to see my grandson who was born yesterday, can you take me for a moment to Prince Yul's residence?" Somehow the Suri Mother's gaze was so pitiful.

"Your Majesty .. The officers are besieging your residence. We can't get out of here."

The Queen Mother pensive. He immediately grabbed two pieces of scented paper that had been tied with ribbons. "My darling ..."

"Yes, Your Majesty?"

"Can you promise me?" ask queen. The waiter frowned, before nodding. "Give this letter to the king." With trembling hands the Queen Mother stretched out. "And this one .. give it to my other children" he added.

The servants were very pityed, because for a long time his son no one had visited to just ask about his condition. And now he is very difficult to get out because the officers are closely guarding his residence due to witness statements that incriminate him some time ago about poison.

"good. Okay, Your Majesty."

The strong wind created a melody more epic than usual. Everything feels strange, even the sizzle of sand looks different. Shortly after the duel with curiosity and fear, everyone fell silent for a moment after Jung Hyun entered the main square.

"Why was the traitor freed?" They were confused, seeing Jung Hyun free easily. After that, Eunuch Cho came carrying some paper on a luxurious tray to the throne.

"What the fuck?!"

Just then, Jung Hyun walked up gallantly and stood in the middle with his worried face. He dug a deep breath before shouting.

One!

Three!

"Give your respects to His Majesty the King and Queen of this land!"

KRIEETT!

The creaking of the main door of the palace opened echoing up into the black sky. They looked up at the hostile sky.

"Cuase your faces!"

Those who were shocked quickly bowed their bodies in unison, as the rush of footsteps approached through the middle of the door.

"Welcome, Your Majesty the King and Queen!" At once all the officials and the people prostrated themselves to the king and queen who walked on the red carpet that stretched long to the throne. The king no longer used the covering of his face, and Youra who was holding the husband's hand came with the head and face covered in a silk scarf.

Everyone is no exception to be amazed. The handsome face that they had been despising could clearly be seen by everyone, until their limbs weakened.

Youra clasped her husband's arm with great fear. He was very alert to walk in the middle. The king grabbed his wife's tiny hand, it made Youra a little stronger than before.

After the king and queen sat on the throne, everyone stood up again, but remained afraid to hold their heads up.

"Put your heads, I don't forbid it." The king's voice was very manly, making everyone look up to peek at the throne.

"Byahh!" There were no words expressing admiration other than that.

Just then, Prime Minister Han glanced at the empty place unoccupied. There is no Jun anywhere, not even Prince Yul.

"What's this?" mumbling wonder.

The king stood up from his seat, walking towards the first rung of the stairs. Stand him there bravely. As soon as Eunuch Cho approached, handing over the entire paper confronted the owner of the throne.

"Today, I gathered you all together .. to straighten out something that has long been crooked and broken." The king's words narrowed everyone's eyes. Very quiet, until the sound of a pounding heart was very audible.

"This open meeting I call the 'Trial of Determination' with all the people having the right to file a rejection" the king said.

"What?! How can we bring people to trial?!"

"Already! Let's just see!" Officials could only exercise restraint, as security officers stood on each side.

The king opened a paper, and began to read it. "I hereby declare that my personal bodyguard Jung Hyun .. and the personal servant who has accompanied me for over 20 years!"

"Your Majesty, how could they be easily acquitted on all charges and incriminating hard evidence?!" the ministers' shouts threw at each other rejection.

The king did not care about the protests that were held for him. He kept opening the papers he had brought. "To straighten all this out, then today I officially invite all witnesses to some of the crimes that have been covered up!"

The king went down another ladder. "This crime is related to the abuse of office, as well as cases of corruption and bribery that were found through accurate evidence that can no longer be denied. Also some other related cases from 15 years ago, and ... "

The king looked at the entire audience, before continuing. "And the perpetrator involved in the premeditated murder committed against Lee Young, the eldest son of the late State Counselor!"

Degs... Degs...
