Geum was summoned into the palace to explain his evil actions towards his brother.The Queen asked him to explain what happened after he fell unconscious at night. When he heard his mother's question, Geum felt nervous.For many days he had been thinking about what to say when he meets his mother again. He knew that she wouldn't listen to him and will punish him even more.So he decided to come up with a good excuse to avoid having to lie to her and tell the truth about how he accidentally made his younger brother bleed to death.

“Well….I accidentally knocked him out with a heavy object and accidentally hit his head so badly that it caused him to lose all energy and his body temperature dropped rapidly due to the lack of water in his body.

”He lied easily and with great skill.

In reality he had fallen asleep in the middle of cooking breakfast and had slept through all of it.The Queen seemed satisfied with his answer and didn't pursue the matter any further.All she wanted was for them to be safe at all cost and was glad that her first child was fine.She knew that Prince Lee wouldn't forgive his brother for hurting him but still she was glad.

Her son is a very caring person and it was difficult not seeing anything but kindness from him and it hurt whenever he acted so cruel towards her youngest son.The Queen understood perfectly well how painful it feels when someone treats you like trash,even though they don't mean it.

She knew that her son loved her dearly,so she tried to make her relationship with her son better than ever before,but sometimes things didn't go as smoothly as she had hoped for.If it wasn't because she never wanted to cause harm to her sons or cause her eldest child any emotional pain.The last time she did, her eldest son was so sad that he stopped speaking to her for days. She had no idea how to cheer him up or how to apologize to him. But she couldn’t do anything for a long time,until she finally figured it out.

”You have a lot of courage to be so kind.I wish you would show more compassion towards me.” She told her eldest son softly as she caressed his cheeks gently and stroked his hair.Prince Lee leaned into his mother’s embrace and hugged her tightly.

"I want to tell you guys that I'm sorry!"
"For what?"
"For everything…"
"Why should we feel sorry for you?! You killed someone! You almost killed your own brother!"

"I know…that's why...i...i…."
"Save it! Save your excuses! We're tired of hearing your stupid reasons!"
"Yeah! We hate those! Why should we care about excuses?!”
"You  almost killed your own brother!!!!"
"You have no right saying that!"
"We are right! Don't try to justify yourself!"
"You don't deserve our forgiveness!!!"
‘Damn it! This is just so frustrating! Why do these fools have to be so stubborn? Even if i’m not the most powerful member here anymore…I should still be able to defend myself! They should have given me some respect!! Why do these idiots treat me like dirt?

If i could get rid of everyone from my family,I would…”Prince Geum thought angrily as he slammed his fist on the wall beside him.”I would have killed them all and become the new heir! No one can stop me from becoming king! No one!”

A loud thud was suddenly heard.Prince Geum immediately stopped beating on the wall and listened carefully.There was no one around him except for him. There was only the quiet echo that surrounded him.No one else was around.This place was extremely quiet,no sound could be heard except for the wind chimes hanging above his door that swayed slightly in the air.

He opened his bedroom door and peered around in search of any intruders.However,there was none,nobody was there except for him. He breathed deeply and closed the doors to his bedroom.
