Can I See You Again

Cannot Release

One day, though, 

“Nona Youra!” scream someone.

That running Youa, stop. As he looked back, he saw someone he knew very well. 

“Nana?” muttered.

Youra immediately ran towards Nana and hugged her.

At that moment, it was like I found half my laughter gone.

“Nona, are you okay?” ask Nana.

I'm doing fine.

Nana who had not expected to meet Youra cried so much.

“Nona Youra, I'm sorry".

“Should have, I didn't go that day. I can't take care of Madam and Mister,” regretted Nana who sobbed.

At least I saw him here.

“You are innocent, so don't cry,” pinta Youra.

“Nona.”.

“From now on don't call me Miss, I'm not your master anymore,” Youra told Nana.

Nana who heard that was very surprised and immediately knelt down before Youa.

“Nona please don't fire me, I'm guilty. I beg you, please let me stay by your side,” Nana cried.

Youra whose heart was hurt, not because Nana was trying to calm down, helped Nana stand up.

“Nana, now that I have nothing, look for a new master who can make your life more worthy,” Youra said.

“No, it's okay. Didn't we promise? Even after I get married, I won't leave Miss,” Nana said.

Thanks though..

Youra who was crying, smiled and nodded slowly.

“Nona, stay with me. Although my house is not as good as Miss's, but, I still have room for Miss. I live with my uncle not far from here. Turns out I was right, Miss must be alive. I keep looking for Miss everywhere. I thought, Miss has gone far,” Nana told Youra.

Nana refrained from remaining silent holding back the sad. However, Youra who saw Nana's face, was able to realize her sorrowful intent.

“I have to wait for my sister first,” Youra said.

Nana who heard that instantly wiped away her tears and sadly seemed to diminish.

Shortly after, Young returned. He looked surprised to see Nana there. Nana who knows Young's arrival just keeps looking down in front of the handsome young man.

“Sister, are you back? Sis, I met Nana, she's been looking for us all this time. Oh yeah, he's taking us to live with him". 

At that time, I thought all this suffering was over. And I'll start all over.

“She said, her uncle's house is at the foot of this mountain,” Youra added.

“Bb - Really Young Master. Come with me, we can stay at my house for a while, Nana's nervous” just keeps sitting.

Eventually, Youra and her brother decided to settle down at the foot of the mountain with Nana and her uncle. 

On the way, Youra asked her brother. While Nana who was walking behind Young was just silent.

“Sister, will the palace investigate the man who killed Father and Mother?” ask Youra.

Young looked at his sister's face.

“Of course. Father is the king's favorite office. King must have completely peeled this case”.

At that time, I just kept believing.

“Sister, are you really going to be the Crown Prince's bodyguard? Mom used to say there was a queen and a beautiful princess. There is also a handsome prince, is that true?” ask Youra.

“True, it's true,” replied Young.

“But, people say that the Crown Prince is ugly. Is that true?” youa asked who made the elder brother speechless, stopping their steps.

“Who said?” asked Young with a worried facial expression.

“Other times, don't say that to others. Do you understand?”.

As I tried to build that trust, those I trusted, gradually broke it down one by one.

Youra nodded.

The king who had recovered from his illness had a meeting with the ministers. 

At that time, I thought the king would find the mastermind behind my father's death.

The king opened a meeting with the ministers.

“After investigation, the death of the state adviser was purely a robbery. Therefore, the case was closed,” the secretary of state read out the results of the king's decision. 

In fact, he is just as hypocritical.

Before long, the king asked.

“How is the investigation against Lee Young and her younger sister?” ask king.

Why, he's not trying to find the truth?

“Your Majesty, we have searched their bodies, but were not found,” replied the investigator representative.

“Then, we must find a new bodyguard for the Crown Prince. Reassemble military students. Tell them to come tomorrow morning in the palace courtyard,” the king's order which then ends his meeting.

A few years later, Youra had grown into an adult girl.

“I want us to go to the village. I haven't been away from the foot of this mountain,” pinta Youra on Nana.

“But Miss, Young Master will be very angry. Didn't he ask you not to go anywhere?” answer Nana.

“Don't tell this to brother. How long do I have to hide here? While he can go as he pleases”.

From then on, Youra had secretly violated her brother's orders. Young told him not to leave the foot of the mountain and hide until the right time. The reason being, he was only afraid that the robbers were still targeting them.  

My brother is a bad liar.

One day, Youra walks the market with Nana without her sister's knowledge. In the market youa accidentally bumped into someone she was very familiar with.

Just then Youra covered her face with a cloth, but, that person looked suspicious of her.

The person who dragged my mother's body back then, in the same clothes, appeared before me.

Youra's chest is back. He was silent in a place speechless. He recalls what happened that night. Realizing that, Nana swiftly pulled Youra's hand and took her running.

“Nona, we should split up. Run that way,” said Nana.

Youra who was beginning to become aware of the situation, tried to gather her strength to run following Nana's advice. However, the dark shadow that was on his head made his chest even more congested.

I'm not strong.

The claustrophobic Youra fell weakly between the narrow alleys. 

When I almost destroyed my brother's struggle to survive,

Suddenly someone familiar to him appeared extending a hand.

“Come follow me,” someone pulled his hand running together.

My star came to give me hope.

“Jun..,” murmured Youra who was stunned.

That day, Jun clasped Youra's hand. They ran together unceasingly until close to the foot of the mountain. The fear that enveloped Youa, as if it just vanished. Jun just kept running, not knowing Youra just kept looking at him.

He held my hand with him..

As he looked back, their eyes met. Jun smiled sweetly at her. 

My world is broken, as if waking up again.

They're stopping.

“Recommend immediately. daughter of country advisor,” Jun told Youra. 

I can't let go of my grasp..

The person chasing him seemed to be getting closer.

But, I have to let go…

Youra then ran fast. He who had been frightened, suddenly smiled happily.

Shortly after running, he finally returned to meet Nana at the foot of the mountain. Youra just kept smiling. Nana who saw it so smile.

“Does Miss like that young man?” asked Nana smiling.

Youra who was shocked by Nana's question, instantly stopped her smile.

“I'm sorry Miss. Back then, I accidentally saw you paying attention to that Young Master,” explained Nana.

“Ah, no. You like my brother, don't you?” youa asked, trying to flirt, shifting the topic.

Nana was really surprised, until she kept coughing.

“Which may I dare Miss,” nervous Nana.

“Good. Where there are women who will not be interested continue to look at the face of my popular brother,” Youra said with a smile.

At least, that laugh came back into my life.

One day, the palace was busy discussing Princess Shin's betrothal to the son of an elected minister, but Princess Shin who got this news disagreed. He then found his father to refuse the match.

At the father's residence, Princess Shin took a stand. This astonished the king.

“Your Majesty Father, may I speak honestly as your daughter?” said Princess Shin.

“Sure, of course,” said the father.

“Dad, I don't want to marry the son of choice palace”.

Princess Shin's statement made the father shocked.

“What do you mean?” ask king.

“Daddy, I've got my own choice. Can, just this once, dad allow me to do something I want?”.

Hearing the princess's reply, the king seemed to be inadmissive.

“What Hyeon has taught you to dare to refute the royal order?!” snapped at the father.

Princess Shin, who was shocked by the words of her father, was deeply hurt. The old effort to not look weak even made him shed tears.

“Until when, until when do you keep blaming Hyeon for all the mistakes?” replied Princess Shin.

The king took his breath.

"Your marriage must be done immediately. You should've been married by the time you were 13. The political rivalry involving the princesses of the kingdom makes the people think you're a bad girl. I've risked everything to bring you back to the palace, after you've been taken prisoner by them. Don't try to argue against the rules of the palace like that stupid Crown Prince".

Princess Shin tried to calm down and held back her cries even harder.

“Tell me, who is that young man?” ask king.

Princess Shin looked up at her father. That suspicious look, made him rise to his feet.

“Dad, if I told you the young man was just a commoner, would you agree to it?”.

The boy's question made the king laugh.

“Hahaha! No kidding. That's not possible. The nobles and the royal family will only marry the children of pure noble descent. The hereditary rule is the prohibition of inter-caste marriages. Ordinary people who fall in love with the royal family will be sentenced to death,” the king replied casually as he sipped a warm tea.

Princess Shin who heard the father's reply became weak from shock. He was wide-eyed, expressionless, producing tears. Before long, he stood up, running out of the father's residence while crying.

#Daughter Shin POV

Fathering…

Love is something that cannot be shaped by force.

Love just flows..

It doesn't matter, even if he's an uncatchable star..

The ones that grow, will still grow easily..

Although the haughty moon shines brighter, it closes the eyes of the star,

The star's light is the only one that looks bright. 

Isn't love like that? No matter who was better, if the heart had fallen, even the gray sky seemed to turn blue.
