My deep soul

Chapter 4

When Jinyeon got home Dara and Yanwoo were already home.

" Where did you go Jin?" Questioned Yanwoo.

" I had to go somewhere Yanwoo. I'm fine. Don't worry " with that Jinyeon left them.

" Why do I get the feeling that she is hiding something from us Dara?"

"Now you noticed. I have known it  from the ages. But we can't force her to tell everything Yanwoo. She has a life you know." 

"I know Dara. But I don't want her get hurt again."

"She won't.  She knows what she's doing. "

At the inside of the house Jinyeon was drawing a picture which shows two children a boy and a girl who is couple of years younger than boy was running and a man who looks like there father was following them.

"May I come in my lady "

"Yes"  " What brings you here at this time Kyung" Jinyeon asked without looking up.

"When you were gone my lady minister Park youngshill came to meet you"

"Really! What did he tell?" 

"He said that he wants to meet you my lady. But when I said that you are not home he was not very pleasant."

"What do you want from me Youngshill? Don't worry.  I'll find out. You may leave now Kyung. Don't tell anyone about this. Do yo understand?"

"Yes my lady" with that Kyung left Jinyeon alone. 

"Why so sudden visit? You don't visit someone without a price. Which price that I can give you Youngshill? What is it? No matter how hard you tried,  I won't let you sit on the throne. Refusing it doesn't mean not protecting.  I will protect my birthright. I will help the faceless king to reclaim his throne. The throne of Silla is only belong to my family only mine. " Jinyeon's mind went far from the present to the time she got to know who she really is.

Jinyeon was sitting at the garden when she felt that someone was watching her. She looked up and saw an old woman was looking at her sadly. For a moment she panicked.

"You are princess Jinyeon right? The daughter of Keng Haneul." Jinyeon was afraid. It was true that she isn't Chang hang wan's child but no one knew about her true identity except for Chang Clan. They all believed that Keng Jinyeon died three years ago. How did this old woman know who she is.

"No need to be scared my princess. I mean no harm"

"Why do you keep calling me princess? I'm not a princess." The old lady was taken back.

"You mean that you don't know about your truth your highness? Didn't your father tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"Come with me my princess I'll tell you the real reason which is behind your father's death." Jinyeon always wanted to know the real reason behind her father's death. She strongly believed that the queen didn't kill him just because he saw the king's face. Once they reached that old woman's house she began to tell the story.

"My name is Hea your highness. I was once a maiden of the place. My mistress was queen  Bora. The king had two wives. He had promised them who would give birth to his first son he would named her as his queen. Two years later lady Bora gave birth to a boy. The king  named him as his heir . He organized a ceremony to announce the crown prince and the queen. The night before the ceremony queen Bora was poisoned by king's other wife. I knew that they were after the prince. So, I took prince and left the palace. I gave the little prince to your grandfather lord Keng and told him what happened to his sister queen Bora. He took the prince as his youngest child. No one ever found out what happened. The king tried to find the prince but couldn't. I left the capital. King's other wife didn't became the queen even she gave birth to a prince. After the king died that prince took the throne. Your father knew the secret but refused the throne.  Queen Jiso found out the truth somehow. She wanted her son to take the throne. She wanted to kill your family"
