They captive my sister to make sure that I will never betray them. At first, My task is to give you a medicine that make you infertile. But Your Highness, I didn't know that you're pregnant that time... I swear when I saw you bleeding, I was so scared that might something happened to you.

I was a coward... I'm sorry.... But everytime I want to back out and tell you his evil plan to you and to your baby, he always remind me about my sister. I'm sorry, Your Highness....

Minister Min.... He's the one who ordered me to do this. I don't know what to do Your Highness... I really don't want to do this, he gave me another medicine again and he order me to add this on your tea. I was hoping that you will not drink the tea that I will give you tonight.... That I can have an opportunity to tell you about it....

Now, you know who is behind on attempt to kill you, please always be careful, Your Highness.... I know the time that you're reading this, I will not be on your side... This is all I can do for you because your my first friend that I have aside from Mi Joo.

Your Highness, please save my sister... I'm begging you to protect her and help her to have a better life... You're the only one I could trust... She's in danger, I'm praying that you will find her...

There's a sample of medicine inside the envelope, and it's made from a rare plant that you can see inside the Min Residence. I hope this will become your strong proof that Minister Min is the master mind on what happened to you...

Eon Jin, Thank you for treating me a human and a friend.... If I have chance to have another life, I will look for you and I'll be your protector and a genuine friend to you....
