Lee Gon is worried when Jeong Tae Eul doesn't respond to his call. His wife who was now in a place so far away from him made a bad thought in Lee Gon's mind. 

"Jeong Tae Eul, answer me"

"...."

The sound of a woman snoring from the phone had shocked Lee Gon even more. His two eyes widened following his gaping mouth, he heard a snoring sound from his cell phone. A few seconds later he realized what was going on.

"Sleep well my Queen, tonight I will come to your dreams"

Lee Gon kissed the cellphone screen before end up his phone call with Tae Eul.

The wall clock in the Palace hall rings when the needle is on the number 8. Today Lee Gon will meet the Japanese Emperor who visited the Corea Kingdom as an apology for the actions of yesterday's Japanese Military attack.

The Kingdom has officially forgiven Japan, but the international legal process continues. There were 4 Japanese military officers and 2 Japanese Navy military police behind the attack yesterday. They were sentenced in their country. The Kingdom chose to make peace and returned to work together to export and import metal minerals. The conference of the two leaders of the country has become a hot topic around the world.

At another place, Jeong Tae Eul and her bodyguards have been at the site of the former suicide bombing by a group of Taliban. Together with the Prime Minister, Translator Corea and entourage of Afghanistan officials, they visited the shelter for victims who lost their homes and their families due to the bombs detonated in their place. Many local and foreign journalists have covered Queen Corea's visit to Afghanistan this time.

Jeong Tae Eul frowned when she saw the location of the victim's shelter. In one tent with a capacity of 20 people, it is now occupied by 50 people. There were no proper beds, only old mats on which to sleep. Sick elderly people also share a tent with babies who have lost their mothers or fathers

"Why not take the babies to a more appropriate place? Don't you have a Foundation to ask children who have lost their parents?" asked Jeong Tae Eul

"It is true Queen Lee, but the place is still under repair because of the bomb. The Taliban group make hospitals, orphanages and schools to target the next bomb blast"

Jeong Tae Eul sighed and felt the sadness that weakened the residents there. While they were talking, some children around 5 years old ran around and hit Jeong Tae Eul. Startled, an official admonished the little boy to be careful. The children looked scared when the Minister rebuked him. Jeong Tae Eul crouched down and smiled at the boy.

"Injâ kasi Engelisi midânad? (Is there anyone who can speak English here?)" Tae Eul asked the children standing in front of her.

"I!!" shouted one of the girls

"You? Ah...what is your name?"

"My name is Afsoon" the girl widened her smile

"Woah .... what a beautiful name, Afsoon"

Jeong Tae Eul gently stroked the girl's cheek

"Of course, because it means beautiful like my mom"

"Your mom? Where is your mom?" asked Tae Eul

"She has gone to beautiful place with my dad and lil brother" the girl laughed, pointing towards the sky

Jeong Tae Eul's breath caught seeing the sadness of this girl. She hugged Afsoon and said,

"They will always love you from there ..."

Jeong Tae Eul stood up and told Jang Yeon Ri to get some candy in her bag. She gives to the kids and they talk about having fun getting sweet candy. Tae Eul steps in when the Ministers take Tae Eul to another place.
