Side Story

"Are you sure on this, Your Highness? Aigoo... The Crown Prince will get mad at me if he knew about this." Wol Sook said. They're on the palace jail and waiting for Sora. "Don't worry, this will be quick and nothing will happen to me." Eon Jin said. "For the last time, I just want to talk to her, to understand why she try to kill me?" She added. "It's because she's evil Your Highness..." Wol Sook said. "Wol Sook, there's a reason why some people become an evil person. That's what I want to know why she turn into that." She said. "I don't know but ever since Sora is like that. You're the only one who believe that there's good about her." Wol Sook said.

She was seated when Sora with two Palace guard on her sides and her hands had been tied up. Sora is looking at her intently when she saw her. The palace guard seat Sora opposite to Eon Jin. "Wae? You want to see me in this kind of situation? Are you enjoying to what you're seeing right now, Eon Jin?" Sora said. Eon Jin let out a deep sigh because base on her face and reaction, Sora didn't change and no guilt seen on her face. "Honestly, I'm expecting that you learn your lessons and you feel sorry for what you've done. But I was wrong... You still the same, Sora!" Eon Jin said. Sora look at her. "Why should I feel sorry? And to whom? To You?.." Sora said and then she laugh. "Yah! Eon Jin! You know what I feel right now? I feel so disappointed to myself because I'm so close to kill you but I failed. Maybe my life will be happy if you never been born..." Sora said. Eon Jin look at her with puzzlement. "What?" She asked. "Because of you, my father always comparing me to you. He wants me to be a good and smart daughter just like you. And he want me to be around with you because your General Son's daughter." Sora said. " I'm so happy because they're so proud of me for saving the Crown Prince but you, you're selfish!.. If you let me play that role and you keep your silence... Maybe, the Crown Prince still looking at me just like before and my life will be happy and my father wouldn't get mad at me." Sora said. "You're enjoying the life that was mine... Being love by everyone, Being the Prince's protector, his wife, his princess and now, the mother of his child... You stole everything from me, Eon Jin!" Sora shouted. Eon Jin look at her as she trying to absorb what Sora telling her. "This life that I'm living for is never been yours. Since then it's my life that you tried to steal on me since you push me on the cliff and you pretend to be the Crown Prince's saviour." Eon Jin said. "You need to wake up from the reality that you ruined your own life. Don't blame to the others on what happened to you. You choose your own path but you chose the wrong path, Sora." Eon Jin said. "And I guess the path that you choose, has no turning back." She said. "I chose the right path, Eon Jin. But you're trying to block my way so I tried to get rid of you but I'm failed.. If there will be a next life, I'll make sure to look for you and kill you." Sora said.

Eon Jin stood up. "I think... You'll never learn your lessons despite on your wounds and bruises during the interrogation." Eon Jin said. "Now I realized that you never see me as your friend but as a rival." Eon Jin said and turn around from Sora. "The Crown Prince itself knew the truth about the forest incident, it's not me who told him about it." Eon Jin said. Sora eyes got widen. For all she knew, Eon Jin confess it to the Crown Prince but she was so wrong.

Eon Jin walk away from her with her heavy feet. 'I offer you my hand but you choose to bite me instead to hold it...' In her mind and she let out a deep sigh.

"Abeonim, did we have to do this? I think it's enough for them to send on the government to be servants and Sora will be punished." Tae Pyung said. "why we need to kill innocent people?" He added. The King stood up. "Because we have to, Crown Prince. Two from their family members attempt to kill the Crown Princess and the royal baby. So they all need to be punished!" The King said. "But Abeonim..." Tae Pyung said. The King look at him. "You must accept this kind of punishment here in Silla. The two members of their families did an unforgiven sins so the Min's clan will take the punishment that they deserve." The King said. "Son, you will be the future King of Silla.... You can't avoid your fate that sometimes you will give them the punishment by your own hands. So you must prepare for this." The King said. Tae Pyung against on what his father decision but this is the rules in Silla that needs to obey to set an example for the people who's trying to harm the Royal family.
