"CLEANING THE MESS"

"What? Mi Deok is dead?" Tae Pyung said. He's on the central hall with the King and Queen. "Yes, Your Royal Highness... They found her hang inside the jail." Chi Su said. Tae Pyung clench his fist and got frustrated. It's a dead end for them because until her last breath Mi Deok didn't say anything and she take the responsibility. "It looks like there's someone who has a power behind for all of this, Crown Prince." The King said. King Tae Shin look at him. "We need to investigate more deeper even our one and only witness was dead. I got a feeling that there's someone who ordered her just like the Crown Princess telling us." The King said. Tae Pyung let out a deep sigh, "I'm thinking that too, Abeonim... I need to catch the real culprit for my Crown Princess and our baby's safety." Tae Pyung said.

"Son, did Princess Eon Jin already know about this?" Queen Han Soo asked. "If not, you need to go to her and stay on her side. You must be the one who tell her about Mi Deok's death." Queen Han Soo added. "It will be hard for her to accept it." She added. "Yes, I will, Eomma..." Tae Pyung said.

Minister Min smile when he heard that Mi Deok's was found death. "It's over, Crown Prince..." Minister Min said as he drinking his wine. "You will never know that I'm the one who is behind for all of it." He said as he laughing. Sora came inside as she got annoyed. "Abeonim... What will you do right now? Mi Deok is dead.... And the Crown Princess and her baby is still alive..." Sora said. Minister Min look at her. "Just relax my daughter... Let's take it slow for now... The Crown Prince do everything just to protect his princess so we need to wait their guard down before we start to attack them again." Minister Min said. "Yah! I don't want to wait anymore! I want her to die right now... She always had what I wanted... And it's killing me, Abeonim!" Sora shouted. Minister Min slap her. "Don't yell at me, Sora..." Minister Min said. Sora got startled as she touching her cheek. "If you want really want to see her dead, why you make a move from your own? But don't expect me that I will help you when you get caught..." Minister Min said. Sora didn't speak as she trying to control her anger.

"Master!" The man rush from the outside. Minister Min and Sora look at him. "Mi Joo is gone..." He said. Minister Min frowned, "What??? How a young kid escape from all of you??" Minister Min said. "Find her! And if you found her.... Kill her immediately." Minister Min said. "Yes, Master!" The man said.

"It's better to clean all the mess so no one will know about my plan." Minister Min whispered.
