Can I See You Again

The Hina Prince

When time turns away from reality, it may be when the light is dim from the dream. There are those, who reject light because of its incredible glare. However, there were also those who were in a long darkness, hoping for that ray of light to come.  

The Hina Prince

That day, to celebrate the birth of the prince, the ministers and the entire palace family gathered. 

“Congratulations Your Excellency”.

At once they said a sentence that even made the king tremble more. The incantations in his head recalled the shadow of the most famous fortune teller who had been killed by his own hands.

One day a son will be born in a peaceful palace and bring great disaster. At that time, you will cry over everything. There were many dandelions scattered in the air. At the same time, you will see a sky so dark. Your eyes will be closed. That suffering, that suffering, that suffering will drift away with the sin you created. You will hear terrible cries. Far away at the edge of darkness one with his sword made a mistake that brought the world to suffering. Your sins, your sins! Your mistakes will lead you to Hell. Your dirty hands, you will..

No, no way, you will end up by Aanda's own hand. Yeah, yeah that's true. Will end..

The words that disturbed him, made him remember how after that he cut off the seer's head with his own hands.

“Not possible, it's impossible,” her inner fear.

“Yang Mulia.. ,” whispered softly a eunuch to him suddenly made him surprised.

The eunuch then looked at the worried face of the king.

King Baek Sam, who was carrying his son, struggled to hide the worry on his face. He slowly looked at her face and recalled the queen's deteriorating health since her pregnancy.

“With this, I tell my people that my son, Prince Hyeon, has been born. This joyful news I convey so that my people feel happy and grateful for having been born the son of the country who is expected to be able to continue the ideals and….

and.. ”

Just then, King Baek suddenly stopped his sentence. He seemed to be enduring the intense pain in his head. He put his son on a couch and then fell from the throne. 

Since then, news of the king being knocked out of the throne due to illness has led to much speculation and rumors among the public.

This caused the ministers to be astonished. All the royal families were busy talking and discussing about what really happened to the king.

“Hai, Mr Lee ! As state advisors, what do you think we should do? Aren't you the king's favorite official? You must know what to do, right?”.

The Minister of Tax and State Finance and other ministers tried to corner Mr. Lee Tae Hwon. Their hatred was the result of their envy of Mr. Lee who was considered inappropriate to be a state official, because he was of mixed blood. He became a mockery because he had mixed blood that became a matter of debate since his appointment as state advisor even to become an official who was very trusted by the king.

However, Mr. Lee was silent as they tried to insult him. He was undaunted by the slightest item, and only continued to play with the strength of his vast heart.

No need to talk too much, in front of those who hate you. Even though you are the king of this earth, those who hate you, will still hate you. 

“What are you doing? He was an advisor to the elected state because of his quality and loyalty to the king. Blood does not affect the birthplace and nationality of a person. You better now think about how to find a solution for people who are starving because of the storm. We cannot wait until the king is healed. We have to do something first”. 

Prime Minister Han, mediate with ministers who were busy making fun of him.

As they were having a heated discussion, suddenly from a distance a servant ran up to Mr. Lee. The servant's face seemed to carry a great hope.

“Mr Lee..!” with a sweat, the servant approached.

“What's up? Keep your voice down,” replied Mr. Lee slightly whispering.

“Master, Mrs Eri will be giving birth soon. Can you go home now?”.

“Where is he? How dare he leave when we are busy discussing. I don't understand why the king likes such a person,” whispered one of the people who saw him leave.

“We don't know what happened. But seeing how the servant's face was, there must be something interesting,” replied the others while whispering.

When we are happy, will it also make others happy? It's probable. But, who knows? Perhaps, more will be happy when misery comes to us, not laughter.

(In Mr. Lee's residence)

That sad day was a happy day for Mr. Lee. Upon arriving at his residence, he cried happily to see his wife survived after giving birth to a son whose face was truly handsome. 

“Lee Young, his name is Lee Young, my dear son,” he told his wife who was greeted with a smile by him.  

Every day there will be a birth, out of nowhere, 2-10 children born into the world bring blessings to their parents, right?

The weakly lying wife smiled at her happy husband. 

Mr. Lee continued to look at his son's face lovingly. However, it was suddenly recalled by him how the king's health condition made him sad.

“What's my husband?” ask the wife in curiosity.

“Today, I felt so miserable seeing how the king suffered. I don't know what he's thinking. What he felt must have been a very heavy pressure. Today is also the happiest day for me. How not, my little son, he became my source of strength. He was born among the sufferings of many and came to bring laughter. We have to take care of it and educate it well. May she be a source of happiness for everyone”. 

The wife who had been smiling, her forehead wrinkled to see how her husband's face looked so sad. About the love and hope he was holding, made him afraid to cross the curiosity.

“My husband, when I heard the prince had been born into this world, I saw you looking as unhappy as you should be. How's the prince doing? Since before his birth, I heard people talking badly about him. What exactly happened?”. 

But, there are also people who feel, that what he has is a suffering, not love.

Mr. Lee was speechless, fixated on the spot with an extremely pale face. His facial lines show how things are trying to lock. He looked at his wife with that worried face.

“What… 

“What have you heard?” mr. Lee's face looked so worried.

They are sincere, they,

The frail wife was shocked to see the expression of her husband she had never seen before. He tried to end his guilt with a subtle look and compassion.

“Suami...,” said the wife lirih.

“Listen to me carefully my wife, whatever they say, tell them not to believe any rumors and rumors about the prince. And one more thing, if anyone speaks ill of the birth of the prince, tell them that it is not true at all. This is the king's order. The king will punish anyone who tries to speak ill of the prince's birth, he will be punished under the law for defamation of the royal family. Make sure that this incident will not be repeated,” explains Mr Lee with irregular breaths.

Mr. Lee who seemed to be in a hurry put his son on the wife's side.

“I have to go back to the palace. Just briefly. I'll be back as soon as”. 

.. trying to reach the stars with you. 

Mr. Lee stepped away, leaving a sense of curiosity to the wife who could only hold back. I don't know what's going on, but my wife is trying to understand. Something bad, it seems to be approaching soon.
