Yoohseok walked towards the crowd and looked at the people crying hysterically over Hanee's dead body.

He looked at Hyul who was sitting close beside Hanee.

A woman who looked young looked very broken.

"Here..."

Yoohseok looked towards Hanuel who gave him a small box.

"Keep this near his head." He spoke.

"Why are you not crying?" Hanuel whispered looking at Yoohseok's dry face.

"Am i supposed to cry..." Yoohseok whispered.

"He belongs to a Royal family..." Hanuel whispered back.

"I don't know him..." Yoohseok quickly replied before walking towards Hanee.

He crouched down over his knee near his head and for a slight moment he accidentally locked his gaze with the girl who was sobbing uncontrollably.

"The crown prince!" Yoohseok looked at the man who walked outside of the crowd.

Everyone suspiciously looked at the man because everyone knew Yoohseok was a crown prince, he didn't had to announce it.

"He killed him! I saw him adjusting his cloth to hide his face!" The man spoke pointing his finger towards Yoohseok.

Once the man said that, every stare was now on Yoohseok in question.

Hanuel furrowed his eyebrows but he decided he won't help Yoohseok. He was also happy that Sunoo wasn't there.

Yoohseok looked at the girl in front of her who stopped crying for awhile and stared at him.

"Your highness, is he telling the truth?" Asked the general, as he walked towards Yoohseok. "Yes, we need to know..." Hanee's father spoke.

Yoohseok got up and stared at the man who accused him.

_

"Stay away!" Yoohseok yelled pushing hanee away, he adjusted his cloth over his face, his eyes laid on the man who was standing near a tree a little far away from them.

_

Yoohseok remembered his face, luckily the man belonged to the lower class. "Why are you doubting me?" Yoohseok spoke looking at the general.

"We aren't doubting you-"

"No, you are doubting me, because of this low life." Yoohseok pointed out at the man, "I did a mistake by coming here..." Yoohseok spoke with a sigh, he started walking away.

Everyone tried to apologise to him but he didn't listen.
_

Yoohseok finally left a relieved sigh once he was near his palanquin.

"Hanee was a great man, he was always filled with enthusiasm..." Junghoon spoke with a sadness in his voice.

Yoohseok hummed.

"Today you will stay with Sakura?" Asked Junghoon.

"Yes." Yoohseok replied.

"Alright, i will tell her to cook meal for you. It's a tradition so she has to complete it since she is the second wife."

"What...? She isn't a maid. Maids can cook..." Yoohseok replied.

"It's a tradition Yoohseok, everyone needs to follow. Why are you so defensive? Sakura is your second wife." Ryeo spoke.

"I have personally never seen Hanuel's mother cooking." Yoohseok spoke looking at Junghoon.
