Can I See You Again

Can I See You Again
Princess Shin's Testimony



Princess Shin's words shocked everyone. They all tried to dig deeper into consciousness. Ha Sun who was being tied up started to laugh again giggling. Princess Shin did not want to look at her crazy husband's face. He just kept staring at Jung Hyun while stroking his enlarged stomach. Jung Hyun who saw the mother of his pitiful-looking son was really having a hard time holding back from hugging him.


"Sister, this is no time for jokes." The king rushed to help his brother stand up. However, Princess Shin's next sentence once again stopped the steps of the younger brother.


"My sister, before I say everything .. promise me first," replied Princess Shin.


The king did not answer anything, he was just glued to the spot feeling quite a heavy pressure on his heart. "So what ..."


"Because you're silent, I assume you have promised" quickly cut Princess Shin.


Princess Shin who was resting before the king, turned her body to face the ministers.


He smiled once more at everyone, at Jung Hyun, looking at Prince Hon and the people. He looked at his enlarged stomach, then looked for the whereabouts of Prince Yul who had not come.


He ended up looking at his sister who was already sitting on the throne, smiling at her for quite a while, only then did he start talking.


"I betrayed the heavens. I've betrayed you, Your Majesty."


"Daughter Shin? What's that supposed?" The king tried to stop Princess Shin who looked strange. Prince Hon continued to look at the older brother with a pitiful look.


"I've been covering up the truth for over twenty years." Princess Shin's voice sounded choked in the chest.

"Your Majesty, Princess Shin is already present as a witness in the field." One of the Queen Mother's servants gave a report from the field that had been awaited.


The Queen Mother could only resign. He leaned his body on the edge of the bed, smiling with tears. "Let her be, my day. Let my daughter do her wish."


The servants of the Queen Mother who had been sobbing since, were getting sobbing.

On that field, everyone stared at Princess Shin. Princess Shin took a deep breath before telling a story.


"A long time ago .. there was an innocent 5-year-old girl who was very happy waiting for the birth of her first sister. He ran and continued to pray for his brother's safety. However, the little girl did not know that she had committed a sin. He ran and laughed all day. He's happy non-stop. Until finally the little girl turned upside down, when reality began she understood."


"Your Majesty .." call Princess Shin to her sister.


"I, the little girl is the one who has covered up the death of the Queen Mother" Princess Shin added. Everyone was stupefied, aghast, violently struck by the sad reality. They were all confused because they did not understand. All they knew was that the queen who had now become the Queen Mother was still alive.


Princess Shin looked at everyone. "My mom, she used to be a good-hearted woman. He brushed my hair, fed me food, carried me when I was sleepy. She sewed my clothes, cut my nails, and bathed me. She read me fairy tales, took me to play in the park, cried when I had a fever, she taught me about love. Him, my mother ..." Princess Shin wiped her tears, before continuing. The sight made everyone cry.


"She's my mother I just told you about .. is the queen you currently know. Queen ... who killed the birth mother who started the King."


The thunderous sound of lightning flashed through everyone's heart.

No tears just flowed from the king's and Prince Hon's. Jung Hyun was aghast at Princess Shin's unexpected confession.


"Good mother, is the one who has poisoned Her Majesty Queen Kim for months since her pregnancy. He was also the one who had sent magic to make the queen sick."


"Good mother, only a concubine who had long fallen in love with the king. A concubine who loved the king very much. A concubine who prayed every night that the king would love her. The first woman to marry the king. She was so jealous, when the king brought another woman into this palace as queen, that she was so angry and dark in the eyes."


"My mother, a concubine who was once appointed by the king secretly replaced Queen Kim who died shortly after giving birth to the Crown Prince whom you hate so much. All that the king did, so that the people would not believe the prophecy of the calamity brought upon the birth of the Crown Prince. Yeah, my mom's just a fake queen who's been cheating on you all."


All those who did not know became extremely struck and shocked.


"And I am the one who has covered all the truth. I, Princess Shin whom you consider to be moral and virtuous .. am a deceiver who covers the veil."


Prince Hon who was standing was immediately stunned to the ground.


Princess Shin continuously made a sound. All the tears could not be contained anymore, until the sound that was heard was only the sobs of people.


"And I, I am a foolish little princess, who would have been deceived by my own mother. I ran in my fancy dress towards the residence of a fortune teller, changing the contents of the prophecy of Prince Yul and the Crown Prince. I did it, because I didn't know anything. Back then, I thought it was just a letter that had no meaning. This stupid me only realized everything when Prince Hon was born. I overheard my mother and her ladyboy telling me, and then I started hating her."


Princess Shin took her breath.


"When I found out the truth, I became terrified. I'm so scared. I had to cover it up because I didn't want to lose anyone. Now, I can no longer bear this heavy burden alone. I'm not strong anymore, Your Majesty. This sin is too heavy for me to bear long enough. I'm not strong anymore." Sobbing loudly Princess Shin cried in the middle of the field.


Princess Shin stood up slowly, she approached her silenced sister with tears. Youa who was feeling tight at that time tried hard to control her overflowing feelings sadly.


"Your Majesty, my dear Brother," call Princess Shin to the king.


"You can hate me as much as you can. I know I will be put to death for this. But please don't hate your brothers. Prince Yul and Prince Hon. Don't punish them."


Princess Shin grabbed the hand of her sister who was being tormented in pain. Grasping the king's hand was long. "So, you promised me. Please let this baby in my stomach be born first. After that, I'm ready to be put to death."


Many people fell to the ground. They were not completely aware of the reality they had just heard. Princess Shin is brave enough to uncover the truth that no one has ever suspected. The sin that plagued him left him in pain and tormenting himself.


"I'm not gonna make you feel sorry for my mother anymore. I just want you to grow up to be a different king. Being a fair king who is not like Dad. Punish me, even though I am your brother . but I am a traitor. I've deceived you and this country."
