Can I See You Again
Decisions
After a few days, the decision will be announced soon. Back, all the people and officials flocked to the palace to listen to the results of the king's decision.
Before entering the square, Youra came to see her husband in the king's palace with a sullen face. "Why don't you tell me? He said he wanted to sleep with me. But why did you avoid meeting me?" Youra threw disappointment at the husband. "Are you mad at me?" added Youra.
The king rested at the feet of his wife, holding both hands. "My dear, I'm so embarrassed to meet you after what happened. I did not expect ... My father ... the late king ..."
Youra lowered her face, kissing her husband's forehead. "No problem, my husband. I've calmed down. And now all the decisions I leave to you." Youra strengthened the king many times.

After some time, the king finally returned to his feet in the palace field. Everyone seemed to be present impatiently listening to the king's decision. Youra did not accompany her husband on the throne. He sat under the roof with the servants.
The king's heart was pounding very violently. This decision, too, would risk his credibility as a king. All the suspects in custody were dragged into the palace. They were all wearing plain, unpatterned white clothes.
When all the suspects were brought into the field, they were all shocked that Prince Yul was marching among the prisoners. In fact, in the previous trial he was not seen at all.

"Why is there Prince Yul?" whisper them.
"He gave himself up to the king, some time ago," replied the other.

Meanwhile, Ara was cleaning up all the items in her residence. Pack that thing with the tears of the servants. At that moment, his servants were all seated nearby. "Mrs, don't leave us."
Ara looked at the servants who had been loyal to her. She smiled sweetly. "Go away. Find a good place. I pray you meet a much better employer than me." Ara held the hand of the personal servant. "Thank you. Thank you for accompanying me so far." He wiped his fallen tears. "It's all over. After the king issues his decision, life or death .. My status will still be revoked." Ara gave some coins to the servants. He spent all his remaining possessions on them.

At the palace, all suspects have been rounded up. The silent commotion turned loose like a silent grave. They prepared to hear the king's decision to the toughest sinners in history.
At that time, the Secretary of State was in charge of reading the results of the king's decision. Meanwhile, the king sat with authority on the throne. He was very worried, but very sure of his decision.
"Today, the king's decree will soon be read!"
Everyone was bowed in dismay, because the king's daughter's son was on the list of prisoners. At that time, the queen who was the suspect sat quietly in white clothes in her residence. Strangely enough, he ate all the dishes available until they ran out. She did not take off all her devices and accessories as queen, although the reality might soon end her life story.
Everyone sobbed, how miserable the days that had passed. After one by one the announcement was read, finally arrived at the biggest decision.
"All ministers involved in illegal smuggling, defamation of His Majesty the King, political manipulation of the border area of the ceasefire area, sentenced to imprisonment for at least 53 years! Release of nobility status, dishonorable removal of office, and official rice supply stopped! No severance and time for families who want to visit!"
"Next for the accused perpetrators of corruption and bribery led by the Chief Minister of Finance and Taxation, has been proven to be prosecuted for the responsibility to return all property is not a right that has been used so far! The amount is calculated based on all the wealth that has been used without permission, next times the salary for a year! In addition, the revocation of rights and powers, the release of status and office, will be immediately carried out with the stipulation of a maximum sentence of life imprisonment! Perpetrators involved in the rebellion were sentenced to hang publicly!"
Break all the sobs of the relatives of those who are defendants and suspects. The Secretary of State took the next paper.
"The Chief Minister of War who has committed a premeditated murder involving his own son as well as the high treason he has committed, according to applicable laws and laws the death penalty is the only one. However, the testimony he gave was very accurate with a careful review between the king and other officials, the court officially commuted the sentence. A lifetime of seclusion that was tightly guarded by the palace warriors forever, the dismissal and revocation of the rights and status of nobles to the entire family members forever. No member of the family has the right to a position in the palace! The Chief Minister of War will be exiled away from this country alone, and forbidden to meet with family for 7 consecutive years! Punishment can still be considered on a conditional basis, given his contribution to the release of prisoners that took place in the Eastern village. For that patent, starting today .. The title of Chief Minister of War is officially revoked!"
The man shed tears after hearing the court's decision for him. The regret that made his life and his father end up poor, making him no longer able to enjoy the rest of his life. The opportunity to have a happy life has ended. Won Bin repeatedly pulled the liquid out of his nose from crying.
"However, with the humility of His Majesty the king, directly the king decided to allow Won Bin to marry and have a family, he said, given the contribution of Won Bin during his time as a general who did not deviate from the rules and regulations that apply. Then ...." The Secretary of State turned the paper over. "And! May be allowed to be visited by relatives, but not allowed to meet again with the father."
Won Bin is getting sobbing. There is a feeling of gratitude and there is a feeling of being destroyed. He looked at the father who was sitting in the corner. They'll both be separated soon.
"Meanwhile it was for Ara, the youngest daughter of the Chief Minister of War who is the palace-law's son-in-law - the legitimate wife of Prince Yul - who is a biological descendant, according to the applicable law, the son of a traitor's daughter will be punished at the same time as the father. However, considering she was not involved at all and only lived a life as a good wife, for that punishment was considered. Ara was allowed to live freely, but the entire title, the facilities of both the house, wealth, and servants, as well as the official noble status were revoked! Regarding further punishment, Ara was legally required to divorce Prince Yul immediately, but her divorce with Prince Yul will soon be considered considering Prince Yul is one of the many suspects involved!"
Won Bin shouted at the king. "Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you!" Everyone who watched was crying. Prince Yul tried to calm down. Very grateful because the king really let go of his wife and child.
"Next on the recognition of Prince Yul ...."
"Just a second!" shouted the king from the throne. He came down from the throne and walked towards Prince Yul who was then bowed resigned with his hands bound.
"Prince Yul, is there anything you want to say?" the king looked at his brother.
Prince Yul shook his head slowly. "Whatever the decision, I'll take it for granted .. As long as you really let my wife and son live a quiet life."
The king shed tears. Never thought that he would have to impose punishment on almost all of his family members.
"Okay, let's move on. Regarding the recognition of Prince Yul some time ago, about his involvement in a disguised rebellion about the initial intention to seize the throne became the biggest consideration in the death penalty which will be the final verdict!"
This was the first time that Prince Yul, who had never cried for life, had finally sobbed at the king's feet.
"However, his confession follows with his testimony in some cases and his status as the biological son of the late king .. The king officially decided to give up the life of Prince Yul! The revocation of the princely title and the status of nobility, as well as giving him a month to leave this country and live more decent lives elsewhere! Still allowed to meet with family through conditional provisions! Regarding his divorce with Ara was legally handed over to Ara. Ara has the right to decide to split up or go with Prince Yul!"
The Chief Minister of War, Won Bin, and Prince Yul all sighed. Very grateful that Ara was released with the generosity of His Majesty the King. And the punishment for them was commuted.
Prince Yul looked up at the king. "Why ... Why do you still pity me?" said Prince Yul. "I've spent part of my life hating you" Prince Yul added. "You hate me? If you really hate me, why don't you ever really kill me? Why did you come to my room and force me to respect you? You just didn't realize, that's when you put your worry on me." The king held both the prince's shoulders and brought him to his feet.
Shortly after they looked at each other, they hugged each other for the first and last time.
Crying both of them in the hug. "I'm sorry, that's all I can do for you" said the king. "Thank you. Thank you," isak Prince Yul. The king rubbed his brother's back. "Life happier than ever before. Live better than ever before. Send me a letter when you're gone. Because at any moment, we're all still brothers." The more tightly the two princes hugged. Prince Hon, who was crying at the time, finally ran over, hugging his two older brothers.
The people and officials who knew how sad their brotherly relations were sobbing happily. Finally the three princes lived well even though they would no longer be together.
***
Shortly after the reading of the decision, the trial resumed.
At that moment all hands were paled and cold. Soon they will listen to the punishment that will fall on the four most severe suspects, namely Princess Shin, Jun, Prime Minister Han, and Her Majesty the Queen Mother and all her followers.
