The Clandestine (디 클랜데스틴)

The Clandestine: Chapter 12

Gojong was watching Han in her peaceful sleep. He plead the lady to stay in his room because he already misses her. He tuck her hair which is blocking the beautiful face of the maiden.

"Han, It's only you that I have." he gave a quick peck in the lips. "Sweet dreams, my love."

Gojong fell asleep beside Han. In the morning, he only found his self in the room.

"Is anybody outside?" he yelled.

"Yes your Highness." his eunuch answers.

"Bring her in my room!"

The door opened then Han enter the room.

"Why are you making fuss?" she said while putting the king's meal in the table.

"I thought you leaved." he said while smiling like an idiot.

"Put yourself together, a king is responsible for his action." she said.

"I know." he pull her closer. "Let's eat."

Zhouhan pour him a tea, his favourite one.

"Did you dreamed of me?"

She blushed when her dreams pop-up. In her dreams, Gojong stole a kiss from her.

"Silence means yes." he said while picking out the vegetables. "Hahahaha I knew it. You are head over heels for me." he makes an annoying laugh.

"Who's talking? He is the one who were head over heels." she said to herself.

Han slapped down his hand. His eyebrow was furrowed.

"Eat your vegetables Your Highness." she nagged.

"If it's not you, I already kill you right now."

"Then kill me. Anyway, I can't breathe in this kind of place."

He flip the table out of anger. Han wince when a broken ceramic hit her hand.

"Call Lady Oh to treat your wound." he said in cold tone then he vanish in her sight.

Han headed to Court Chamber while griping her right hand. She heard other court ladies buzzing around.

"Did you see the man yesterday?"

"Who? I didn't see anyone new."

"His name is Yun and he is very handsome."

She turn around but they called her.

"Yah! Han, clean our room."

"I need to find Lady Oh to treat my wound." she said calmly.

"Your wound can wait...our room isn't."

"This is King's order. I'm sorry."

"Even you are the King's favourite, we will never let you live in peace."

The bully court lady raise her arms to slap Zhouhan but someone block it.

"P-Prince...C-Chungmyeong."

"A girls should behave a like a girl. Go back to your places or should I shave your hairs?"

The girls scattered to go back in their places.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Han keeps her head in bow position.

"Lift your head beautiful. Did you know where Queen Anhye is?"

"I don't have idea. I'm sorry"

"It's okay. Treat your wound, its bleeding." he pat her head then he leave.
