Early in  the  morning  Mei and the others  were in a sour mood. They had been  attacked by some poor farmers the night  before and Soo ho  had the nerve to  blame her just because  she wouldn't  let him attack the farmers.

"The princess wants to speak to  us, I'm sure it's to scold us for what happened  last night. This wouldn't have  happened  if the three of you had let us attack  them" Soo ho said.

"Quit complaining  you spoilt little  rich boy, couldn't  you tell they were hungry and poor? They have families  to feed and  they were desperate how could  you  want to  attack helpless people?" Mei retorted.  Soo ho groaned and  walked  out. Mei sucked her  teeth and frowned, he didn't  understand the  needs of the people.  Sun woo  pat her on the  head  and  walked out.  Mei followed  him out "I'm still angry at  you, big jerk" she said. Sun woo poked her head "I'm sorry"

The princess  looked cold as usual and  Mei could  already  imagine what she was  going  to  say.

"This is  all your fault, how do you  intend to fix things?" She  would  say. Mei had already prepared  a whole lecture on  how the princess needed to  look at  the  most important  part of the  whole situation, the hungry people.

"I will not go  back to the capital" the princess said .

"But your highness we are going to Baekjae for amity we cannot go without gifts. Besides we do not have any food" Soo ho said.

"The king of Baekjae's birthday is in four days and the crown prince of baekjae is very ruthless, he might decide to attack Silla to celebrate the kings birthday so we are going to Baekjae" princess Sook myung said.

After two days they finally arrived in Baekjae. When they got to the palace, the crown prince was eating.

"I am princess Sook myung of Silla. I have come to clear up the misunderstanding between us" princess said.  The prince ignored her greeting and kept eating. 

"What's this is he ignoring us , this is not right" Soo ho mumbled and was about to say something when Jinheung held him back. "Hold it in" he whispered. 

"I shall wait until you finish eating " princess Sook myung said. 

"Do as you wish the prince said without even looking up"

"How rude, this is no way for royalty to behave, he could at least offer the princess a place to sit down " Mei whispered.  Jinheung squeezed her shoulder and  she let out a silent breath.

They stood there waiting until the prince finished his meal, then he looked at them and motioned for the  princess to step forward.

"So what have you brought?" The prince asked. Mei was completely shocked by the prince's behaviour, it was disgusting. 

"You came to baekjae looking for amity, you must have brought gifts that would peak my interest"

"I came representing Silla and  I would like to talk to you in private" the princess said. 

While the princess and the prince went inside, the others went outside to wait.
