“they were already swollen and reddish in color,as strands of hair was still covering her face,
“The king was still stroking her hair, sweeping some strands of hair to the corner of her ear,
“hye ji slowly started open her eyes, she was looking so pityful at the moment,
“your Majesty, she whimpered, she stood up her butt still remaining on the bed,
“you are fine, right?, the priestess promised me that you will be fine, nothing happened, right?, she said and the King nodded,
“that’s a relief, she said
“but your Majesty….why are you not telling me anything about your illness, she said,
“King kim sang sighed,
“and I know, it’s obviously started before I came into this palace, Hye ji said,
“forget about it,stop talking about it, don’t mention it to me again, the king said becoming pissed,
“you need to tell me, I need to know what’s wrong,who knows?, I might be of help, she said
“I told you to stop talking about it,are you deaf?, do you want your head rolling?, the king yelled in anger
“your Majesty, that’s the only thing she could say before leaving his chamber,
“The king sighed, he would have go after her but something was stopping him,
“his mind flashed back to years ago,
“The king was in his chamber when a maid served his food,
“he was half dressed, when the maid saw him her eyes widened,
“Am sorry your majesty, I will take my leave now, she bowed and made to leave,
“but the king husky voice made her to stop on that spot without moving an inch,
“Stop right there!,he said and she shievred,he started coming closer to her,
“his eyes roamed all over her body,as she was so pretty to resist,
“he leaned closer to the maid and held her waist, before slamming his lips on hers,
“but the maid pushed him away and he staggered backwards,
“Am sorry your majesty, I can’t do this,the queen will behead me, the maid pleaded as her face was buried on the ground,
“I won’t let that happen, the king said beside I never liked her, it’s was father who forced me into marrying her, he added,
“Your Majesty,am not worthy to hear about your personal life, she said still bowing down,
“what do you mean?,of course you are pretty…..,
“before he could finish the sentence, she ran away from his Chambers,
“she ran his fingers into his hair,
“Sh|t he spat!
“it’s all my fault, he said
“I didn’t believe Queen ye ri could do something like that, he said
“even though I didn’t love?, I trusted her,why?,why???, he screamed on top of his voice,as tears slipped down from his eyes,
“Cha young was in the library, searching for a book, that same book titled”HISTORY OF HWARANG”
“she fell in love with the book and she always read it every day,
“finally, I found you, he said as his eyes spotted the book,
“she collected it and kang Ta’s face came to view,
