Can I See You Again

Early Suffering

One day, Young comes to the palace fulfilling the king's call. Young is not alone, he and the young men meet again after the state exam that time. 

That day, not too bright, but the chirping of the morning bird still sounded earthy, crossing beautifully creating the morning tone. That day, different than usual. There are more guards in the palace. 

Just then, the princes arrived and passed by in front of the youths along with their bodyguards. Shortly after the princes sat on their thrones, the secretary of state stood up to deliver a greeting. At that moment, all of them who were noisily fell silent. 

After the secretary of state made a speech, the king stood up.

“Lee Young son of advisor Lee Tae Hwon, come closer here,” orders the king in front of all youths.

Lee Young slowly stepped towards the king.

“As the best military student, I wonder, what is the best position you want to get in this palace? Maybe, I will give it to you,” asked the king who was greeted with envy by the people there. 

Just as Young was about to answer him, suddenly, he accidentally saw a young man in unusually luxurious and beautiful clothes, walking quickly visible from the gaps of the pole with some eunuchs. High-postured and tidy youth, with great authority that is very charismatic. The young man was the Crown Prince who was actually present in the field secretly, but, Young had no idea who the young man was. 

If I want to eliminate these stupid, greedy humans,

“I want to be the personal bodyguard of the Crown Prince, Your Majesty".

I must change this cruel world first.

No one believed Young's answer. 

However, the Crown Prince who accidentally heard that, stopped his steps.

“Who is that silly young man?” ask the Crown Prince to his servant.

“He Lee Young, son of country advisor, best military student in the country,” replied the servant.

The Crown Prince then smiled slightly and left the place immediately.

All this time, they all knew how bad the Crown Prince was. Bad rumors that befell the Crown Prince, and the reality that there is no one willing to work in the Crown Prince's palace, let alone to become his personal bodyguard who automatically must always be willing to be close and protect him. 

At that moment, the king was shocked. Jung Hyun, the best friend, really did not expect what Young answered.

“Everyone avoids that position, then why do you want it?” the king did not believe.

I don't want anything.

“I admire him. Crown Prince of this country, must be the best son in the country. I want to, study with him,” replied Young.

I don't care, in the eyes of others.

The king then smiled.

“Alright,” nod king.

The meeting that day went well and quickly.

As he was about to return home, Won Bin intercepted Young.

“Your stealing the king's attention is amazing. I didn't expect, the big risk you'd take would really be nice. Are you a fool?".

Won Bin brings his face closer to Young and then laughs.

“HAHAHA! Sure oes. You guys are so suitable! A coward like you becomes the despicable bodyguard of the prince, isn't that a perfect fit?" ledek Won Bin before leaving Young.

“Why? Guys, you can ask for the greatest position in the palace, like being a general for example. Why did you choose that horrible position? Crown Prince, feared by many. He is famous for being very cruel,” asked Jung Hyun.

Young was silent, with no answer at all, leaving his bewildered best friend0.

To change the world, a knight even willingly died. Why can't I do it?

One day, a peaceful palace was attacked by bad news. 

The beginning of suffering, 

Very unexpectedly, bad rumors about the Crown Prince who had been guarded so far so as not to spread even became widespread to the other country. The rumor was widespread because the writing of someone who was affixed to the walls of the houses of the citizens, even every smallest corner of the country though not missed. Those who did not know, became aware of the Crown Prince's bad rumors. Even the rumors became even crazier and bigger. 

When the rain does not carry a rainbow, it just drowns incessantly.

The king who heard that, ordered all officers to pull out all the writings that were affixed everywhere. Now all the commoners knew the rumor and flocked to the palace to curse the Crown Prince. Not a few of them even bravely shouted to dethrone the Crown Prince.

The ministers who knew this were in a panic. However, behind that panic, they wished for the Crown Prince to be completely deposed.

The beautiful blue sky became dark gray. 

“Catch and kill whoever did that! Catch his family!! Hurry up!!" the king shouted furiously from his room. 

Everyone is scared. The ministers who heard it whispered to each other.

“Do you think His Majesty will depose his son?” whispered one of the ministers.

“You don't want to, he has to do it,” said another.

Meanwhile, the queen came to appease her husband.

“Your Majesty, My husband, let me give you a suggestion,” said the queen.

Holding her husband's shoulders, the queen slowly approached.

“Your Highness, it would be better, you change the position of Crown Prince with Prince Yul. This is the only way to maintain the stability of the country. I'm well aware of the situation, but at least you are also thinking about the future of the Crown Prince. People will try to harm him to get him out. I don't want to, there's going to be a rebellion in this palace".

The king who heard that looked directly at the wife's face. He stroked the wife's hair with his hands. Until the hand came close to the throat of the wife. The hand began to press hard on the queen's neck.

“You know, how long do I keep all this? This position you got is thanks to my late wife. Don't ever think I'll change my whole promise. I promised my wife that Hyeon was the only heir to the throne in this kingdom”.

The king smiled wickedly, pushing his wife's body to a fall on the bed.

“Your Majesty, I'm just..". 

“Never think of anything that makes me sick of seeing you!” snapped king.

Hearing the husband's words, the queen stood up. With tears she screamed in front of her husband.

“Until when? Until when do you keep hoping for your stupid son? How long do you hope for the impossible? How long are you waiting for him?! He, your shameless son, never did anything! At least you think about the future of your other two sons? If you can't appreciate me as your wife, at least you're thinking of your other son, let the Crown Prince get out of here!". 

The king who was struggling with his emotions, made unacceptable and increasingly became. The emotion was overflowing until he finally landed his palm on the cheek of the wife. Queen Kim could only look at her husband. She left the husband's room, carrying grudges and tears.

That destruction, a little more coming towards me.
