Can I See You Again
King's Decree
Being a leader is hard. Especially when you want to make a decision, because there are many things to consider. In addition to a good option to improve the quality of the country, but must also pay attention to the continuity between the goals and wishes of the people.
King Baek Sam, trying to be a good king for the country he leads. The harsh reality he had to accept, he thought was nothing but a contradiction with his own son. Reality is worse than that. King Baek Sam is unaware that all he has to fight is himself, his own palace.
One day, the king finally announced a decision, about who first married Princess Shin's first child, or Crown Prince, the future ruler of the country. At that time, almost all the people rejected the leadership of the Crown Prince, and forced the king to depose his unscrupulous son, and replace him with one of the princes. However, until then, the king did not accept the petition, and preferred to be hated by his own people rather than to have his son down.
This great decision of the king, resulted in many polemics that had their own consequences. To dispel the people's doubts about the Crown Prince's credibility, the king finally made a decision that his son vehemently rejected.

“Crown Prince, I beg you, just endure a little bit of your anger,” pinta Kasim Cho while walking quickly following the Crown Prince who brought his emotions towards the king's residence.
The ladies and eunuchs walked in with the steps of the Crown Prince who looked very angry. On the way to the king's residence, he accidentally met the ministers who were passing by there.
All the ministers bowed respectfully to him.
“Nice to meet you Your Majesty,” greet them simultaneously.
Hatred will continue to be hatred.
The Crown Prince, in his luxurious clothes, smiled behind the cover of his face.
Even behind the curtain of the barrier.
“Happy to meet you all,” reply is friendly.
Everything is clearly visible to the hated.
“Are you going to see the king soon, Your Majesty?” ask the ministers.
“Yes. I want to meet my father, because I have not fought with him for a long time,” replied the Crown Prince casually.
The ministers who heard it looked at each other in wonder. Because, the Crown Prince's attitude has not changed at all. Still with his nature that looks haughty and arrogant.
The Crown Prince took one step forward before the ministers. Just then, Jung Hyun had just arrived and immediately stood firmly behind the Crown Prince.
“Have a good time, dear old men of the king,” added the Crown Prince with his relaxed and elegant heavy voice.
The Crown Prince left the ministers heartbroken over his words. Jung Hyun who could do nothing just went to follow the Crown Prince to the king's residence after bowing respectfully to the ministers.
“Look at his disrespectful son! To the parents alone he was very insolent. How could a person like him be the leader of this country?” said one minister.
At that time, the prime minister was silent with a wrinkled face. They really did not expect, the Crown Prince even dared to meet the king just to defy his orders.

“Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here,” report the doorkeeper of King Baek Sam's room.
“Let him in”.
The Crown Prince entered himself to the father, leaving his servants in front of the king's residence.
“How are you, Ayahanda?” asked the Crown Prince for a moment after bowing respectfully to the king.
“I'm good. You've never met me like this before, there must be something you want to refute from me,” the king retorted as if he knew what the Crown Prince meant.
The Crown Prince who heard the father's reply, his face turned ugly.
A few seconds later, the silence was blown away by a single statement coming out of the Crown Prince's mouth.
“I will not marry,” said the Crown Prince with a confident look.
“What did you say?” the king asked in surprise.
The king was very angry. He stood up and approached his son.
“How embarrassing you are. You defied all the royal rules, and now you say you don't want to get married. Are you crazy?” asked the king, glaring from his son's face.
The Crown Prince chuckled and turned his gaze in another direction.
“Who wants to marry a man like me? It would be better, if I don't get married,” the Crown Prince makes the father even more angry.
The king pulled the collar of the child's shirt.
“The fool you have, shouldn't it be dead?! Apart from being a man, you are also a leader, you must be married and have children! Look how old you are! Do you want people to keep insulting you? They'll suspect that you're a man with perverted sexuality! Your ugliness will make them hate me even more!” the king shouted with his reddened glaring eyes.
“Didn't they have guessed this before? If I have a perverted sexuality is that really important? I'm a guy who likes to play women, don't you know?” The Crown Prince was relaxed in front of his angry father.
The king had no power to hold back his anger until the king slapped his son on the cheek. The Crown Prince's servants who heard the commotion were extremely anxious.
Meanwhile, the Crown Prince was petrified on the spot.
“You do not want, the queen's palace will immediately find a wife candidate for you. The woman chosen is the most beautiful, the smartest, the wisest, the qualified, pure noble woman who is ready to accompany and also change your foul temper! And you should know, this marriage doesn't require your consent. The palace will conduct a strict selection. That means you don't have to fall in love with the chosen woman either. And one more!”.
The king clasped the collar of his son's robe with trembling hands.
“If you want, I can choose even the 100 best women in the country to be your wife. And none of them, no one will reject it. So do not ever think, to have no offspring,” the king took off his grasp.
“I won't marry the chosen woman of the palace,” reply her son.
Hearing that, the king laughed loudly creepily, until all the servants standing in front of his room were frightened.
“Do you have a woman you love? What do you know about love? Your life just continues to be covered in hatred,” replied the king with a reddened face.
The Crown Prince smiled.
“You're right, I don't need love. I just want people who submit and obey me”.
The Crown Prince bowed and left the king's room.
Just then, Jung Hyun looked at the Crown Prince's pitiful-looking face. Eunuch Cho along with the rest of the Crown Prince's servants, continued to walk quickly following the Crown Prince's footsteps.
“Your Majesty, why did you lie to the king?” inner Eunuch Cho while looking at the face of the Crown Prince who just kept walking towards his residence.
In his room, Kasim Cho came to bring tea with a tranquilizing aroma to the Crown Prince. At that time, he saw the Crown Prince was holding a beautiful ceramic jug-shaped. The Crown Prince kept daydreaming about the beautiful ceramics.
“Your Majesty, I think, what the king said is true. It's time, you get married and have children, so that the people no longer doubt you. All this, not only for the sake of the people, but also for the sake of you and Princess Shin. Princess Shin has already postponed her marriage first due to political rivalries, and now she will only get married after you get married,” explained Kasim Cho.
Hearing Kasim Cho's statement, Jung Hyun who was also there spontaneously looked at Kasim Cho's face with his broken feelings. The girl he loves will soon be married.
Meanwhile, the Crown Prince quietly continued to look at the beautiful ceramics without giving any response.
Eunuch Cho was puzzled to see the beautiful ceramics that the Crown Prince was holding.
“Your Highness, do you have a woman of your own choice?” ask Kasim Cho.
The Crown Prince took his eyes off the beautiful ceramics. He immediately looked at the eunuch.
“I don't need love, you know that?” answer the Crown Prince.
Eunuch Cho looked at the Crown Prince with a sad look.
“Your Majesty, please, stop,” muttered Kasim Cho iba.
