"I have sinned greatly against your Majesty"
"This child is not your flesh and blood" she informed kneeling in court in the presence of all the officials.
"I will accept any punishment, please don't forgive me" she adds a tear escaping her eye as sh...
It has been a week since my visit home and I can not say I have done much in training. I visited Consort Yeon woo and Ji ae who was always with the princess, I learnt about the gifts they received too. I then decided to visit his Majesty but I waited until he was in his meeting room alone.
"It is quiet late what brings my lady?" he asked when we settled down on the table.
"You are still working, how can I find comfort in my sleep?" "I should come and at least serve you tea" He picked the cup and turned it over, I carried the tea pot and poured the tea I made.
"You are reading reports?" I asked referring to the scrolls on the table.
"I am trying to find out where the problem of scarce food is" "Just about a month ago we had more than enough"
"Can i?"i asked if i could read them.
"Go ahead"
After some minutes of going through about ten scrolls.
"The grains seem to be disappearing" i said.
"After investigating we couldn't find out where"
"Who ever is consuming them is buying them in small amounts to go unnoticed" "And it shows he is wealthy"
"Yes"
"Then your Majesty should do the same"
"Care to explain my lady"
"Before he consumes the market you should buy the grains to store them" "You would be able to find out what the person wants after that"
"If he wants to make profit, he would release them in a crisis" he said in understanding.
"Exactly"
"Is my lady interested in state affairs?"
"No, but I do a little reading"
"You like reading?"
"Yes"
"Your coming here helped, thank you"
"Can I ask your Majesty a question?"
"Sure"
"Do you have a favorite colour?"
"I haven't thought of it yet but I do like dark colours"
"Do you write with your left or right hand?"
"Right hand"
"Do you have a favorite dish?"
"It is tang"
"That should be all for today" "I will take my leave, your Majesty should rest"
"My lady" he said. I raised my head to meet his eyes briefly but I couldn't decipher what could be on his mind.
"It is nothing, you may take your leave" But I didn't shift from my seat.
"Your Majesty I know I can not take away all your burdens, but I would be glad to have Your Majesty share them with me"
And from that to the time I left there was only silence.
******** Today I have decided to leave for the field late evening, I will use the single layer of my garment to cover my head completely to avoid the maids.
"Doha escort me today to the outer palace" "The guards have grown suspicious to why i don't sleep in their quarters"
"So you would sleep there with.. with..."
"Yes, i would do just that"
"Agashhi"
"Don't worry hyungnim will be there"
"So you trust him now?"
"Maybe i do"
"I will have to go alone and see for myself".
