The Back To The Previous Dynasty
Prince Jisung.
The next day, Mina goes to Seongsuchong to meet Shaman Jang.
#chongsuchong.
There were a lot of people in Seongsuchong who were dressed up. Mina was confused as to where she should go, she finally asked someone.
“Excuse me, do you know where Shaman Jang is?” ask Mina.
“Ooh you mean Madame Jang, she is performing a ritual in the hall of Seongsuchong, you can meet her later, I will tell her.”
“Alright, thank you” said Mina.
“Do not hesitate” the person goes.
Mina decides to tour Seongsuchong while waiting for Shaman Jang to finish the ritual.
While touring, he meets prince Jisung.
“Prince Jisung” call Mina.
“Ooh, Kim Mina”
“What are you doing here?” ask Mina.
“I used to come here, my best friend Mira used to be a Shaman in Seongsuchong” Jisung replied.
“Ooh, so ya”
“What are you doing here?” ask Jisung.
“I want to meet Shaman Jang”, Mina replied.
“For what to meet with the head astrologer?” ask Jisung again.
“I want to ask you something.”
“So ya” said Jisung.
“Oh yes, Mina, do you want to come with me later?” bring Jisung.
“Where?” ask Mina.
“Today there is a folklore puppet show” said Jisung.
“Pawned? I want to, I've never seen that before” Mina replied with a carefree smile.
“Alright, later meet me in front of the gate Seongsuchong ya” said Jisung.
“You did not return to Palace?” ask Mina.
“What am I going to the Palace for? I don't live in palaces” replied Jisung.
“Why not stay there?” ask Mina.
“I am a free prince, I am the son of the King's concubine, I provided a special home” replied Jisung.
“Are you the only one who doesn't live in the Palace?” ask Mina again.
“The crown prince also lives in a special house if he is married” replied Jisung.
“Ooh, so” said Mina.
Someone came to see Mina.
“Shaman Jang has finished performing the ritual, you can meet him” said the person.
“Alright, I go first yes Prince” Mina go see Shaman Jang.
Mina walked into the hall of Seongsuchong, there was a middle-aged woman waiting for her, surely she was Shaman Jang, the founder of Seongsuchong.
“My name is Kim Mina” Mina said as she bowed in greeting.
“Crown Prince Jihoon has told me about your arrival today” Shaman Jang said.
“So, is there any way that I can go back to the future?” ask Mina.
“Do you really want to come back? I know you are heavy-hearted to leave this time” said Shaman Jang.
“Because you already know, I will not deny his” Mina said.
“The portal that brought you here only appeared 3 centuries once”, said Shaman Jang.
“Means I can go back to the future if I wait for another 3 centuries?!” Mina surprised.
“There is one other way that you can go back to the future” said Shaman Jang.
“What way?” ask Mina.
“Moon eclipse” Shaman Jang replied.
“Month eclipse? how can I come back with just a lunar eclipse?” ask Mina wonder.
“There will be a lunar eclipse within 100 days, when the moon has a total eclipse, you can see it with the naked eye, then you will return to the future”
“How can? ” says Mina.
“Surve once” Mina murmur.
“You don't believe in spirits, do you?” ask Shaman Jang.
“Yes, but after all the strange events I've been through, I'll trust her for now” Mina said.
“I will remember everything, right?” ask Mina.
“All your memories of this time will be erased, all will be as usual.”
“Can't I remember her?” ask Mina.
“The possibility to remember it is very small, you can remember it if there is something that can force your memory that the spirit removed back” said Shaman Jang.
“Alright, I understand, thank you” Mina bowed and went to see prince Jisung.
“It's done?” ask Jisung.
“Iya, already” said Mina.
“Then let's see his show” invite Jisung.
“Come..”
Jisung holds Mina's hand, taking her to a hand puppet show.
#On the show.
Mina and Jisung were sitting in the back row, in the front row were the villagers.
Then the puppet show began.
“On one day there was a girl who came from the allied palace, the girl fell in love with a King, but their love did not end well, but, the girl must be exiled because the girl broke the rules in palaces” Dalang said.
“So sorry that girl” murmured Mina who remembered Shaman Jang's remark about the erasure of her memories.
“Do you like the show?” ask Jisung.
“Yes, at least before the girl was exiled there were funny things” Mina said with a smile.
Jisung returned Mina's smile. From a distance Crown Prince Jihoon looked at Mina who was smiling sweetly beside Jisung.
“Your Highness is looking at who?” ask eunuch.
“The sweet smiling girl was”, Jihoon said.
“That's Princess Kim Mina? oh yes, the one beside him is Prince Jisung” Kasim said.
“True, he...my brother, Prince Jisung” Jihoon said.
“Wah, I think Prince Jisung likes Princess Kim Mina” Kasim said.
“What are you saying?! it is not true” said Jihoon.
“That could be, Crown Prince” Kasim said.
Jihoon just kept quiet while investigating whether Jisung really liked Mina. Mina is very beautiful, kind, and also smart, it is easy for her to win the heart of anyone, including Jihoon and Jisung.
“Then, Mira also liked hand puppets just like mu”, Jisung said.
“Wah, it turns out we do have a lot of similarities ya” said Mina.
“Yes, you guys are a lot of semblance” said Jisung.
*****
After watching the show, Jisung sends Mina home.
“Thank you for delivering me ya” Mina said as she bowed.
“No problem” said Jisung.
“Then I go first ya” Jisung go.
“Your Highness Crown Prince, how long will we observe the two of them?” ask Kasim.
They observed Mina and Jisung from a distance.
“Already, just shut up, you are the one who lured me to do this” said Jihoon.
“Do I want to take a magnifying glass?” ask Kasim.
“Iya, just take” Jihoon focus on observing Mina who is sitting on the terrace while reading a book.
“What?! does the crown prince really like princess Mina?” mumbling Kasim.
Mina went into her house. Jihoon stopped observing Mina.
“Come home” Jihoon go to Palace.
“Yang Noble wait hamba” Kasim following Jihoon who has gone first.
Jisung is a free-spirited prince and is not bound by anything, while Jihoon who looks freer, in fact must be bound by palace rules, but, because it carries the responsibility of being a crown prince who will become King someday in his stead.
