The Secretary of State began to read the results of the decision.
"Lord Han, or commonly known as Prime Minister Han, was one of 4 senior officials who served alongside four hereditary kings. He is a confidant of the king with a performance that never disappoints! But suddenly he turned into someone more evil than the devil. He cooperated with the rebels, plotting a rebellion to depose the Crown Prince who had now become king! Sending magic to make him sick! Killing many innocent people, creating a group assigned as assassins! The use of false identities, slandering the family of the late Mr. Lee-State Counselor-until finally killing him with a robbery ploy! The mastermind behind the murder that happened to Young Master Lee Young!"
" ... set a trap for the Crown Prince along with several people who came from enemy countries, stole grain from the palace warehouse, and placed a false signature on top of the petition strengthening the law of the country! All such acts include corruption and defamation which fall under the category of severe treason, making the palace unanimous in addition to all the previously mentioned punishments that are either revoking title, status, or treason, and the fine that he had to pay doubled within 3 months, then the palace also absolutely imposed the death penalty that had been approved by His Majesty the King!"
"And to Han Ji-Eun, the youngest daughter of Prime Minister Han who is the king's only concubine, the, proven to have been involved in several cases in the palace successfully revealed by Her Majesty the Queen some time ago! So the palace will unanimously send him away from this land as a slave as punishment! That means, all rights and obligations as a noble are revoked, no longer have the right to return to this country!"
GECK! GECK!
After the sound of the hammer rang out, there was no sound at all. They all silence themselves. Prime Minister Han did not make a sound, he kept silent without saying anything. He didn't even cry at all.
Jun, who was nearby, could only look at his father, dropping tears. After all, the father he hated so much used to carry him to the palace. Prime Minister Han used to be a kind father. A father who lives a simple life with his son and wife. She always comes home bringing good stories to Jun and his mother. Unfortunately, power blinded his eyes to be more powerful and more powerful. In the end, it was greed that ended his life.
State secretions wiped away her tears. He drew closer to Prime Minister Han, extending his hand. "Friends?"
Prime Minister Han stared at the hand for quite a while, before finally reaching for the hand and hugging it.
Their cries flew up into the sky. People are sad. Before, when they were young ... The Secretary of State, Prime Minister Han, and the late State Counselor were a triad that never separated. Enter the palace as a new employee who is still in the bottom position. They went home together, and lived in the same room. Talk about girls and have a lover at the same time.
Repeating memories when they once missed work. They laughed all day at the back of the palace enjoying lunch because Prime Minister Han was having a birthday. However, all that ended just like that after they were appointed to be important people who competed for the heart of the king. They become cold friends and never get together again. The Secretary of State and the State Counselor were still in line, but Prime Minister Han was only busy with him. The poor life.

The reading of the decision invited many tears. Including Youra who even just saw it from a distance.
The Secretary of State again grabbed a final paper that made him sob helpless. Seeing the Secretary of State crying in the middle of the field, made everyone including the king cry. The palace has truly lost those who have served for a long time.
"Next ...for Young Master Jun, or what is known as Teacher Jun." Once again the Secretary of State wiped his tears, looking very powerless to read the results of the decision.
"For Teacher Jun, the young man who was very famous for his intelligence, intelligence, and wisdom made him chosen as the most exemplary person in the country for many years. However, today .. due to his greatest error which helped to conceal the sin of the father-Prime Minister Han-for many years, without considering any of his actions was considered an act of rebellion ... in addition to the revocation of titles, statuses, and positions and all facilities of power, his crimes also resulted in him being sentenced to death or at least life imprisonment!"
The Secretary of State vibrated to read out the results of the sad decision. Although everyone knows him very well, but the law is still the law.
The king descends from the throne as Jun is immediately taken out by the officers. "Wait!"
The officers and Jun who were being tied up came to a stop. They all turned around and bowed respectfully before the king.
"I want to ask one thing for the last time to him," said the king making everyone shocked unexpectedly. Including Youra who was busy shedding tears.
The king stepped closer to Jun.
"Do you still .. love my wife?"
DEG

Somehow the king asked the tense question in front of many people. Youra was immediately aghast and stood up straight from her seat. His feelings were mixed with sadness.
Without hesitation and fear, Jun bent his body.
"Yes, I still love Her Majesty Queen Lee, Your Majesty."
Everyone was slammed by Jun's fearless loud words. Youra was pierced by a moving state.
"What?!!!!"
"Did I not hear wrong?!"
"It's no use that he's lying anymore, he's going to die after this too."
Some people were shocked to not believe it. Some cry out of pity. Let alone love, the poor young man even had to die before he got married.
King nodded. "Okay" he answered.
"Teacher Jun, with the power I have ... You're freed!" shouted king.
The screams echoed in the sky. All the tears spilled instantly even though they were busy holding him back. Nothing was heard but the sobs of people. Youra even nodded back.
The king returned to the throne. "Your Majesty, why did you release Master Jun?" ask the Secretary of State who is also crying.
The king took a long breath. "A few years ago, a great young man was appointed by Father as my teacher."
"I can see the hatred in his eyes. I could see the discomfort in him. But ... ." The king rubbed his two blurry eyes by a pile of tears.
"However, he never once hurt me. He stood in front of me, sitting before me with respect, even though I had already snatched away the woman he loved."
"She smiled at me even though my grades were never good. And yet, he never taught me about hate. Always counsel me if I'm guilty."
"He could kill me at any time, but he never did. She was one of those people who was always near me. He loved my wife, but never tried to take her from me, or to take her forcibly away from the palace. He poured his warm tea over my cup out of suspicion at the tea served by the servants."
"He hates me, but never teaches hate. Whatever you are currently seeing in me .. everything is pure science and teaching from him."
The king bowed his body, making everyone cry even more. "Until any time, you are still a meritorious teacher in my life. You saved this country from hatred. You saved me from hatred."
Everyone was crying haru. The king's statement was finally officially approved by all the officials in authority. However, Jun remained punished despite the reduced sentence.
"I'll send you away from downtown. Your position as Chief Minister will be officially revoked. However, you still have the right to work and earn a more decent living elsewhere." The king touched Jun's shoulders. "Forgot my queen, and build a family. Your loyalty and your ingenuity will always be of use to this land."
Jun finally prostrated himself at the king's feet. "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Jun stood up again. After which, he turned to Youra, then smiled from a distance while bowing his body. Youra was moved, and lowered her head a little as a last salute.
That was the last time I met Brother Jun. Thank you, Brother Jun, all the service and kindness I will never forget.
The meeting that day was finally over. Tomorrow morning, the king will again announce the proper punishment for the queen.
