Our Silly Promise
It was after we had confirmed our feelings for each other.
One night, the Crown Prince took me out to the flower field.
I took Court Lady Song with me and let her came with us into the flower field.
Eunuch Han was there as well but the Crown Prince didn't let them near the tree, he said it was a special place just for both of us.
The next day, Court Lady Song gave me a book and asked me to read it.
"What is this?" I flipped through as I looked at her suspiciously. I could feel my face became hot when I started reading it.

On a green field surrounded by colourful flowers, two lovers lied down facing the bright stars on a peaceful night.
"My future Queen," he spoke and looked at the girl besides him.
"Yes?" The girl answered without looking at him.
"Have you ever heard people say that they can do anything when they feel extremely happy?"
"I'm so happy that I wish time could just stop," his eyes radiated glow of happiness.
"I think I can die without any regrets right now," he added.
"Let's die together," she said.
The girl looked at him.
"I'm also happy," she smiled.
He smiled widely and continued looking at the sky with a satisfied heart.
"Then let's stay together even when we are ghosts."

"How did you?" I closed the book.
"Your Highness, your face is so red," she laughed.
"We didn't speak that loud, you were few feet away!" I said.
"Well, I have a wolf's ears for this thing," then she laughed again.
"I'll report this to the Crown Prince," I threatened her.
"No, Your Highness! His Highness will scold me," she pleaded. "It's just a safe keeping," she snatched the book from my hand and ran away.
"Lady Song!"
