Jinyeon hurried her home knowing if she got more late Dara would be furious.  She was right.  As soon as Jinyeon got home she found herself face to face with her worried sister Dara.

" Where have you been Jinyeon? "

" Sorry,  Dara I .." she started to cough. 

" You were outside when it was raining weren't you Jinyeon? How many times do I have to tell you to be careful. You are acting like a child ."

" Well, I am a child "

" It's not funny Jinyeon.  Kyung take Jinyeon to her room and help her get change.  I'll come back with medicine."

Jinyeon's maiden take her to her room. Jinyeon's nose were red and she felt her forehead burn. Dara gave Jinyeon some medicine. Jinyeon fell asleep quickly.  Dara kissed her forehead and left her alone. Later on that day Jinyeon woke up feeling much more better than before.  Kyung bought her food and informed that Dara and Yanwoo went to threat the patients.

After Kyung left Jinyeon was standing at her room with a latter in her hand. 

" Kyung asked someone to ready a horse.  I need to go out"

" But my lady you are not well"

" Do what I asked Kyung.  I must go" Kyung knew that if her mistress thought something then there is no turning her back. She sighed and did as she asked. Jinyeon changed in to a black hanbok  and covered her face. She rode the horse far away from home. After two hours journey she came to a hidden small house. She got off from her horse and went inside.  There was an old lady who was very weak.  She tried to get up but Jinyeon stopped her. 

" Princess,  I did not expect you would come here at this time"

"How are you feeling Hea. I brought you some medicine. Let me check "

" You are too kind princess, just like your father " 

"I've made my decision" 

"I know your decision my princess. You are going to follow your father's path. Did you consider well my princess,  you are going to refuse the throne after all"

"I know about my decision Hea and the throne doesn't belong to me now does it?"

"What are you saying my princess.  The throne of Silla is your birthright. Jiso has stolen your birthright from you my lady."

"I know that Hea. I even know that I lost my family because of that throne.  Being crowned queen will be nice I'm not denying it. But that chair is full of blood.  I'm a doctor who gives lives and I don't want to take them. My father had more right than me. He could easily take the throne when the king died. But he didn't.  He always knew power does no good. I want to live a quiet life Hea. I want to marry the man I love and have children with him, watching them grow up.  I don't want to be the center of power."

"I respect your decision my princess. "

"The only ones who know the truth are you and me. We will carry this our graves"

" I shall obey your command my lady. It looks like you are going to be the only person who knows the truth. My time has come. You truly are your father's daughter my princess.  Fair well." With that Hea  made no move. Jinyeon wiped her tears and got out from the house.  She set the whole house in fire and left.  She looked at the house again on the distance and

"I promise to be careful Hea. I won't let your sacrifice go in vain." Murmured to herself and left with the tearful eyes.
