Why flowers wither {Completed}

Convince me.

"Can you tell me now, why your Majesty took me to all those places?"i asked even though i could guess from their nature.

"Have you had dinner my lady?"

"Yes, and your Majesty?"
He just nodded.

"My lady seems to know what i want to talk about"
"Don't you think the weak, sick and feeble need a strong leader who will always have their interest at heart?"

"Yes and they have your Majesty"

"My lady"

"I apologize, your Majesty can continue"

"Who would you suggest?"

"Consort Yeon woo, i am not sure about her concern for the people but every Consort should naturally be"

"Which means you are"
It is better to stop going around it.

"Have you heard from father, your Majesty?"
"I had thoughts of taking on the crown for his sake but i feel it is unnecessary when you can trust Yeon woo and the financial minister"

"It is not only about trust"
"I have a responsibility to this nation to choose a fitting leader and i trust none other than you with it, none other will always put the people first and protect my people with everything they have"

"All i did so far was protecting your Majesty and your interest"

"Could there be a difference between i and my people?"
"What about Young soon? I wish my lady could try to understand my intentions, do you think everything will always be fine? Being yourself isn't enough to protect both of you when i wouldn't be here to protect you"
"And who else will?"

"Your Majesty doesn't have to say it that way"

"How else should i say it to make you understand?"

"Your Majesty"

"It is not in my intention to make your life change so drastically, that is why i found a way to lessen the burden of the crown"
From the way he is looking stressed from the topic i am starting to feel bad, because he didn't take his throne by choice and it is something he will live with for the rest of his life.
And the burden of the throne is indeed heavy.

"Your Majesty i...i apologize for making things hard for you but it is not just something i can decide easily"

"I understand, i will tell you what i have in mind and all you have to say is 'I will think about it' "

"Agashhi you should be calling the wet nurse, it will be suspicious if you keep feeding him"
"There is also a reason this traditions are in place"
It is not like i don't call on the wet nurse often, i don't know where she is getting at.
"And this traditions are the most appropriate for people like you"she smiled.
'What?people like me?'

"Are you telling me to hurry and have another baby?"
'What does she take me for?'

"Yes, so that let's see..his Majesty, i, young master(Orabeoni), the General and even my Heo im could sleep peacefully, he will surely be worried if his Majesty is"
"Even though you went back to training yesterday, uhmm i am sure his Majesty doesn't know of it"she narrowed her eyes.
She has a knack at threatening people.

"How shameless, my Heo im?"i ignored asking.

"Yes, it is late i should go and escort him back from duty"
I lifted him up and placed him on my shoulder.

"I should report the Commander of royal guards for negligence towards his duties, when he allows his clingy wife to distract him from work, how can we trust him with our lives"

"Tsk tsk tsk I can smell jealousy, i can't start to imagine what the whole nation will say of you if you try being clingy, no not clingy 'desperate' hahaaha"
Funny how the same thing could be so different.
"So you are not going today?"

"I am busy with him"

"Bring him"
I brought him down from my shoulder, wrapped him properly in the white blanket and passed him.
"Look at him, look at him, he recognises his mother fast"
He made a small sound.
"Sure sure, i am saddened to leave you too tonight"

"Hmm"

"Agasshi" she said with a serious tone.
"I think you should accept his Majesty's offer, it would be good for you and the crown prince"

"I might"

"The coronation is in a few days"

"I am to speak to father in the morning"
"You know..Chin mae is still not back i worry for what has gone wrong"

"Could it be that witch has done something to Bori again?"
'Hardly'

"Your highness can i come in?"Ga yoon asked.
Doha passed my veil.

"Come in"

"His highness Moon jae shik is here to see you"
'The General?'

"This late?"Doha asked.

"He might be here to see his highness"she suggested.
'Something must be wrong'

"Let's go"
We met the General pacing in front of the chamber.

"General"

"Your highness"

"What is it?"

"Gu yong ha just returned from their journey"
"He said..Bori has passed away"
I sucked in a low breath.

"Passed?"

"They didn't even meet her, her wound got infected and she suffered from it for some time, it was hard to cure her"
"Chin mae only met the letter she left him, he went home after that to pick Se won"
"They disappeared together upon entering the palace and..he is with a sword"
I felt like the whole world started spinning.
"I have dispatched a search team but.."
Where could he possibly go..he couldn't be thinking..to..
I started hearing the sound of metal being dragged on the floor from behind the General.
Then he came into view not long from then.
"Your highness" the General said alarmed.
He dropped the sword with a loud clatter and what could be on it..blood?
