Who Is She?

Who Is She?

Hyuk

I will be fast about the breakfast with my father and brother; I hope she doesn't step out.

I walked out from my quarters, heading to fathers; on my way, I saw my brother Dae, "Morning, Brother." He says.

"Morning, my awesome brother; guess father is ready to keep us long with breakfast." I laughed.

"And his tiring conversation, so what's up with you Hyuk, rumours are spreading that your ordered weird food and carried it yourself to your chambers."

I felt uneasy when he said these; I just had to look for means to let him not take them seriously.

"Oh, I just decided to try something new, that's all; why can't these servants mind their businesses."

"I wish the same thing; anyway, the old man is waiting for us."

We gave the emperor our father a nickname; we call him the old man; most people hardly know we are just referring to him.

"Your highness, good morning." We both said, bowing down.

"Rise, my sons, I feel happy seeing you two; come sit." He said, and we obeyed.

"I can't believe you both are having the same look as you are growing up; I love that."

"Thanks, father. Can we eat now? I have lots of stuff to do," I said to hurry everything we had to do here.

I started eating the same with others, then my father said.

"I notice you two don't talk about the throne; you don't fight about it; I love the bond you share; I hope your mothers will do the same."

"I hope so, father," Dae added.

"I got a report from the small village; they got attack by our enemy; I want you both to make some diggings on the step to take next; I feel they are thinking of starting a war."

Father kept talking about the people, but it looks like I saw So Hyung just now, or was I hallucinating?

I better leave this conversation quick to find out; I will deal with her if she came out by disobeying my orders.

I finished eating, thinking I will be able to leave immediately, but father said, "So what's your suggestion Hyuk, I need both of my son's ideas?"

Oh damn it, I didn't pay full attention to everything he made mention of.

"Father, I think Dae can handle it, right?" I turned to my brother, holding a knife.

"Why me? Father told both of us?"

"Okay, father, I will think of what next to do and give you feedback; I shall take my leave." I am sad in a hurry.

"Not so quick Hyuk, you can't leave till father order us to." He reminded me, I can't believe I almost disobeyed my father.

"What next father, I have something urgent to do right away."

"Son, it can wait, remember you are a prince; you can always reset your schedule.

"Fine, father, let's talk about the war signs."

I got restless all through, and finally, my father told us we could return to our quarters.

"Hyuk, what's happening to you? You look like someone hiding something." My brother added.

"Oh Nah, I am all good; see you later, brother."

I walked past a route when I overheard some servants and guards saying, "I have never seen a strange lady looking so beautiful and wearing a male robe."

"Who is she? I don't think she is from the palace anyway."

"What if she is a thief, that robe looks rare, and it can only belong to one of the princes."

"I believe you; it could be Prince Hyuk."

"Why do you think so?"

"Because she is with his royal fan, which is not even allowed to be touched by his fiancee, oh we need to stop gossiping; the prince might hear us." They said after noticing my presence.

"Why do I have this feeling that So Young is stubborn, and she is exposing me to big trouble? I need to find her before it gets worst; she is even with my precious fan; everyone knows I only touch it.

I hastened my footsteps heading to my quarter, I entered my inner chamber," So young, tell me you are in here, please." I called her name but got no response.

She came out; oh no, I should have tied her up with something.

"Your highness, there is a little problem," Joo said.

"What problem?"

"The guards arrest the girl who saved you, and they are asking her questions about her identity, soon Lady Eun will be there, you know what that means? She might get the wrong picture, and the girl will be in danger; you know this palace very well."

Oh damn it, "Come with me, we still got time to help her."

We hurried to where she is, and the first thing she said, "Hyuk, what took you so long? These bastards were harassing me."

Oh no, she has done it here; she called me by my name in the presence of everyone; I couldn't even speak but stammered.

So Young

What's taking Hyuk so long to come back here? I am getting bored and tempted to step out of this place.

I need to know where I am; I can't even find my phone or my diary to keep me busy, so Young, you are stepping out and won't go that far at all, so I get back before he does.

I saw a beautiful royal fan; I took it and stepped out.

"Wow, this place is heaven; what's are those?" I saw some flying kites in different colours.

I need to go far and enjoy the view; this is a dream come true.

I got stopped by some ladies wearing the same outfit looking like maids asking who I was and why I had the fan with me.

"Mind your business, okay, and don't tell Hyuk I came out," I replied.

I got the same expression from each ladies when I mention his name; he a womaniser or what?

I got seized by some brutal guards, and they questioned me, "lady, who are you and why are you on this robe holding this royal fan?"

"I am So Young, okay, just having a great time here, so please let me go now; Hyuk can't find me here."

They yelled at me, calling me a thief. That was when Hyuk came in.

My dream lover is here; I feel at ease now, "Hyuk, what took you so long? These bastards were harassing me."

They all looked at me, and he stammered.

"Your Majesty, do you know her? Who is she?"
