Realize I Need You's

Episode 47 - Word of Heart

" Where is the grand prince of Yong Hwa ? "

" The prince had left from dawn in a hurry, princess." (answered the lady-in-waiting who was cleaning her room )

" really ? " (just ask while smiling)

After asking for his whereabouts I also returned with Boram.

" Ashhi, finally the source of our problems is reduced by one" ( whispered Boram in a happy tone )

" Yes, " (my reply closed his relief eyes)

" Why did he leave in such a hurry ? " (slowly murmured )

Arriving at the residence of the Crown Princess, the King's noble escort eunuch brought a golden-coloured paper scroll and several other servants as well as the palace soldiers were already crowded waiting for us in the front yard. They were waiting for our arrival.

" Mister Crown Princess, accept the word of the King's majesty" (he shouted firmly)

At once I and Boram sat respectfully and prepared to listen to the edict to be sent down.

" The Western part of the Kingdom of Joseon is experiencing an outbreak and needs immediate food assistance. With this I as King, it has been agreed with several ministers and palace officials to send Crown Princess Hyun Ok as an envoy to the area to deliver assistance as well as prove his love for the homeland and the position he is now occupying. We hope that the Crown Princess will help the country to help the people affected by the plague and will leave for another week starting from today. S E L E S A I " (he shouted to end the King's decree)

" We received the noble edict of the King " (my reply and then Boram took the scroll from the noble king)

Kasim's accompaniment and the palace soldiers went to resign.

The next morning Wangseja Yong Ju came to us with a worried look.

" Hyun Ok, you will take that order for granted ? "

" Of course Wangseja, I have no right to object to this decision. "

Wangseja Yong Ju sighed heavily.

" huftt.. It's my fault, I should have granted your wish to resign from the position of crown princess once you asked. " (thought Wangseja Yong Ju recalls the events of the past when Hyun Ok several times asked to resign from the position of Crown Princess but always rejected by him )

" Don't blame yourself Wangseja, my family and I are very grateful for your help. And maybe, this is the price I have to pay for being the crown princess without going through palace procedures. "

" I feel like I'm sending you to death. " (he lamented )

I also held back from laughing at the words said by Wangseja Yong Ju.

" I was only in charge of delivering aid to the Western part of the Kingdom, not to live there Wangseja." (my answer calmed down )

As aware of the words contained in the noble letter of the king, Wangseja Yong Ju just nodded in embarrassment while smiling.

" Hyun Ok, you don't know how deeply I fell in love. I'll try to protect you. " ( muttered Wangseja Yong Ju in heart )

Elsewhere, the western part of the kingdom. Physician Li was still busy handling the plague victims who were lined up lying in wait for the queue to be checked.

" Healer Li, food supplies are running low. We can't just rely on the plants around us to eat. "

" What about the government's help? "

" It is said that they will leave in a week, plus a trip that also takes a week. It is estimated that they will arrive in half a month. "

" Hm. The issue of this outbreak is an urgent matter, why they are still waiting another week to leave here. "

Finished examining a man and writing down a prescription to give to assistant healer Li Jiazhen moved on and examined the next patient. Followed by his personal bodyguard who continued to submit reports.

" Aah, that's we don't know either. Reportedly there is still a lot being prepared. They will also bring medicines. "

" Then we have to keep holding on until they get there. "

" Mister Zhen, lest you get infected or the healer's mistress will kill me once we return to Jiangnan" (Rui Reflex saw Li Jiazhen's appearance)

" Hhffl.. Then why do those who have improved back sick again. "

" That is, because the water source we just found a few days ago is dry, the residents again drink the water source commonly used. "

Li Jiazhen let out a rough sigh then seemed to turn even more annoyed at Yu Xiao's reply.

" Why are you still drinking that water, I've already forbidden it ! find another water source ! " (snaps Li Jiazhen)

" that.. The village chief who ordered to take water from the well " (answer Rui shrieked in fear)

" Where is she ?! " (Li Jiazhen flicked her sleeves and immediately went to look for the village chief followed by Rui from behind )

Looks like the Village Chief was chatting with some bodyguards.

Emotions are getting out of control in the midst of chaotic situations. Li Jiazhen picked up a bucket of drinking water from the well and threw it in front of the village chief as well as the bodyguards.

" Healer Li, what are you doing ?! "

" Don't I tell you to find another source of drinking water. Why still take water from public wells ? "

" Ah, emm" (with the gurgling of the Village Chief trying to answer )

" Healer Li, it's not easy to find a source of water in our village. Some of it is high ground. So we decided to keep drinking water from the wells that we used to use. "

" Then heal them yourself. No need to ask for my help ! " (snaps Li Jiazhen)

" The village chief, look. Didn't physician Li say that well water was the cause of the plague, which is why we forbid to drink from well water. " (Please persuade Rui to come forward before the quarrel gets hotter )

" We also have a mind, is it better to die of plague or die of thirst ? healer Li, we used to listen to you because the plague has not yet spread, now it has extended to the next village. I also have the right to decide my opinion. ! "

" Alright, just treat them yourself ! " (Li Jiazhen's face turned increasingly crimson and left them ).

" Mister Zhen ?!? " (Shouted Rui in heart ).

" They are. The situation is like this still had a fight argument. " (said Rui growled in heart )

A week has passed and the preparations have been completed. We started our journey 8 hours ago. 8 Horse carriages.

Boram was sitting next to me while bowing to endure sleepiness and tired all day sitting.

" Boram, pay attention to your position " (my reprimand elbowed his hand )

" Arasseo Prince, Boram will not say his. " (he said in sleep )

" Tch, Boram ?! " (sticking his forehead strongly )

" Ohh, Ashhiiii ?! I'm so tired and sleepy. Don't bother ?! " (the Boram protest after awakening )

" You are this.. "

" Guards ! We'll rest here for 15 minutes "

Guards beside the stretcher responded by giving aba - aba stop. We came out of the stretcher to straighten the body, after widening the cloth and lying down comfortably looking at the sky scene.

15 Minutes passed without noise.

" Boram, tell me what you're hiding from me. "

" Eumm.. Princess, what are you saying. I was sleeping.. "

" Is it your soul that answers ? " (tilt the body facing Boram )

Feeling caught Boram Wake up and sit down, followed by me who also sat waiting for him to admit something.

" Daughter, what do you want to ask ? " (to look away )

" About your words while lying on the stretcher. What are you hiding ? "

" What Boram said, Boram does not remember. "

" You call the great prince Yong Hwa " (meaning )

" yeah, Ashiii.. Boram did not hide anything. "

" Ooh, so you are now defending the great Prince Yong Hwa ? Then I'll send you to be a waiter next to him. " (crossing hands while looking intently at Boram )

" I saw the great prince Yong Hwa kissing Ashhi ?! " (answered Boram )

" You. shhtt ! " (shut Boram's mouth firmly )

" Opp." (a nod Boram understood )

" explain. What do you mean he me, me, kissed me. "

" Haihh. when the ashhi splashed into the lotus pond, Boram saw the great prince Yong Hwa pressing his chest and kissed.. " (About Boram, without finishing his words)

" Foolish Basic. That's not a kiss. So what saved me was not Wangseja Yong Ju but the great Prince of Yong Hwa ? "

" Um um" (a nod to Boram says )

" Daughter, why is your face red ? " (asked Boram innocently )

" It's hot, already. Let's leave immediately. " (walk back into the stretcher)

" Hot ? " ( said Boram then look at the sky and the surrounding circumstances that look cloudy )

The horse-drawn carriage resumed its journey.
