Crystal Eyes

Chapter 9

 "I want you to know what I truly thought of you as well prince. I would never get to say this again. I love you with all my heart and even in death I will never be apart from you." She smiled.

Suddenly, a blue light filled the air, much like the one at the castle ball. The blue light swirled around Hanguel and landed on her toes. Hangeul's brother's face shown as the blue magical light filled the air once again.

The villagers, the guards and the king took a step back. Some villagers ran far away as possible. The strong light hurt their eyes. As Hanguel looked up at the brother's face in thin air, she realized that her brother was looking out for her.

"I told you I am alive inside your heart still. Some may say you have a sickness but to me you have magical power. I said once to you, uncover the one greatest thing you have in your possession and that is love, my sister. It is true love and you have found it. He will now be set free."

The magical blue lights swirled around once more and the prince appeared, back on his feet. As the blue light faded away into thin air, the villagers began to feel more at ease.

The king was shocked and as he rushed to hug his long lost son, the prince rushed to hug Hanguel first. The prince turned around and ordered the guards to remove the family from the ropes. The king stepped forward.

"It is not your kingdom yet to run, my son."

".. and if I make a rash decision such as not being your son anymore over this cause, you will not have a trusted person to give the throne to."

The queen stepped forward from the woods and ran towards the prince.

"Oh my son! It has been so long! Are you alright?"

"Yes, mother. I am quite alright. Hanguel made sure I was alright and safe." He smiled at Hanguel. The queen ordered the family to be free from the ropes and the guards untied them.

"..but my dear they have committed a sin." The king explained to the queen.

"There is no sin because it has been resolved. Hanguel is sick and she needs medication. We do not punish whomever that commits a sin unknowingly. We cannot run a kingdom that way. We have to be an example for our child." The queen replied.

She went over to Hanguel.

"My dear child. Thank you for bringing my child back. I do not hold any grudges because now my son is with me and that is all that matters. It is not your fault you are born with such a sickness. The kingdom will continue to search for a cure." The queen smiled.

A woman stepped forward from the crowd.

"I am the woman who gave you such a power."
