"Prince Alkong's Ability"

SIDE STORY

(THE NIGHT WHEN ALKONG IS BORN)

Eon Jin is silently seated on their bed looking at the sky. "Your Highness... Lady Cheon Myeong with your brothers are here to visit you." Wol Sook said. Eon Jin smile widely.

Lady Cheon Myeong immediately hug her daughter when she saw her. A hug that is so tight and full of love. Eon Jin smile while returning a hug to her mother. "I'm so proud of you... You're brave on giving birth to a handsome prince." Lady Cheon Myeong said. Eon Jin smile widely. "I thought I'm gonna die because of the pain I felt, Eomma." She said and let out a small laugh. "But all the pain I feel, was vanished when I heard my son first cried." She added. Lady Cheon Myeong caress her face then she smile. "That's the magic on having a kid... They will be your instant strength when life gets tough." Lady Cheon Myeong said. "Just like us for you and Abeonim?" Eon Jin asked.

Lady Cheon Myeong let out a small smile. Eon Jin smile faded, "Eomma... I'm scared... So scared that I couldn't see him anymore..." She said. She's talking about her father. Cheon Myeong hold her hand and gave her General Son's written letter for Eon her. "He told me that make sure to give it to you..." Cheon Myeong said. "I know it's been hard for you, it's hard for me as well but you need to trust your father. I know he will come back to us alive and safe." She said. The tears that she's holding slowly drop from her eyes. "Don't get mad to the Crown Prince, it's your father's request not to tell you about it because he wants to make sure that you and his grandchild are safe during your pregnancy." Lady Cheon Myeong said. Eon Jin hug her mother and cries on her shoulder. Cheon Myeong tap her back to comfort her. "You really such a daddy's girl..." She said.

Tae Pyung is watching them from the door. 'Ill do everything just to make sure Abeonim will come back here in the palace, Eon Jin...' In his mind.

Present days

Eon Jin feel her knees are shaken and she unknowingly dropped the diary when some of her Halmeoni's letter caught her attention. Tae Pyung saw it and he immediately walk to approach her. "Eon Jin... Are you okay?" He asked. Eon Jin look at him. "Tae Pyung... Our son..." She said. "what about Prince Alkong?" He asked. "I found out that aside from the gift that he inherit from me, he has an ability to sense danger and to protect himself from it. Halmeoni wrotes it on her diary. " Eon Jin said.

Because Prince Alkong is a boy and he inherit his mother gift of healing, he's ability is more powerful than his mother.

"So why you seem so anxious? That's good news, knowing our child can protect himself on danger." Tae Pyung said. Eon Jin pull him towards to Prince Alkong who is sleeping on his bed. And she show him his birth mark. "Look at his birthmark, it's glowing..." She said. "Halmeoni wrote in her diary he's glowing birthmark indicates that there's danger near to him." She said. She look at her birth mark. "Mine is not glowing because I don't have an ability just like to our son." She added. Tae Pyung clench his fist. "But I feel strange lately, Tae Pyung.." She said. Tae Pyung look at her. "I always feel exhausted and my body becomes weaker day by day. If it's true that your son can sense danger that's why his birth mark keeps on glowing, is it possible that there's someone who's trying to harm us?" Eon Jin said.

Tae Pyung started to get worried. He also notice that Eon Jin is slowly loosing her weight. "Eon Jin... Promise me that you need to be very careful for the meantime, Arasso?" He said and Eon Jin nodded. "I'll talk to physician Kwon regarding that." He said.
