Where he Stands! ✔

Chapter 26

Going through the album,expressions of Her royal highness were changing dramatically as if she was trying to add all the broken pieces of a frame that was laying in front of her eyes, broken .It was not less than A puzzle ,difficult to understand.

1st picture was of Queen Shin Yeon Hye sitting on a red velvet sofa ,looking like an empress in red highly embroidered hanbok.She was looking like a youg bride with sharp eyes,there were no innocence in those eyes just like her son.Her Royal highness smirked thinking the same.

Another picture was of King and Queen both ,king was in standing position while queen was sitting on a golden sofa wearing an off white golden embroidered hanbok,they both were not looking like a newly married happy couple but the picture was showing like they were forced for taking pictures together .

Then, there were several pictures of queen sitting in different position with same attitude. But her expression were opposite with other peoples.

After several picture she found a picture of queen with bulged stomach,she was still serious and was not touching her stomach like any other woman in that stage.

After that pic there were several pictures of king holding a baby in his hands.Baby was Seung Keun hyuk as it was written on the base of photo.She then turned several pages but didn't find any picture of queen with her son.

Then suddenly she remembered qhat his royal highness was murmuring at night ,few weeks ago and she then again and again turned pages.

She was now, not in mood of drinking the tequila that was standing on floor trying to distract her, she hided that album in her clothes and left that tequila there, with no care.

She was passing from the corridor looking at pictures of His royal Highness and some pictures of late king on cream coloured wall of palace but didn't see any photo of queen.

She spent that whole day searching about royal family on google and didn't find any thing strange, it was full of buttering articles that were containing stories of Seung Keun Hyuk ,how handsome he is ,there were some articles written about how royal couple doesn't have any baby yet ,even after 3 and half years of marriage.

It was strange in her eyes, as they were just married for 1 year .

After few Hours:-
It was 12 pm of night ,palace was silent as everyone were sleeping,she tip toed to Head maid Wan's room and silently opened her personal drawer in which she has kept several keys related to different rooms in the palace then she went to the Queen's personal chamber and opened its door.

This was the 1st time when she saw her room as head main wan always warned her to go near that portion of palace.She opened the door and locked it from inside and checked it twice then she started roaming in room and looked at each wall and saw several pictures of Queen ,she was beautiful and her face was looking soft and shiny in those pictures .

She didn't waste her time and opened every drawer and Cupboards but still didn't find anything useful but suddenly her eyes fall on a silver box that was placed on the cupboard.

She brought stool that was placed in front of dressing table and used it for climbing on it and then finally that box was in her hand.

She opened the box but it was locked,then she used some mini keys that were in key ring of Head maid wan.

After two attempts with two different keys she succeded in opening the box at 3rd attempt. There was a beautiful man's ring in that box and a letter.She opened the letter with excitement and started reading it but again her face was a view to see while reading the letter.

Dear Son,
Seung keun Hyuk

I am writing your name in this letter as you may misunderstand the word 'son' by Lee( SHE IS REFERRING TO Dr. LEE) but this time i am calling you my dear son .

I know you hate me and will never believe my words ,I also know that you doesn't even want to see my face but believe me 1st time in my life, i am regretting my decision to distant myself from you.
You were always a nice child but i was never a good mother.You begged me for love but i was stuck to my decision.

I know i hated you even though you never deserved that,i had issues with your father and I always hated you because of him.

But please try to understand your mother,I was a royal born child ,from childhood I always learnt how to be a good and obedient wife,they never taught me how to be an independent woman. My father gave me permission to take admission in Harvard University after my two unsuccessful suicidal attempts.I hated my father and mother who never wanted me to study and this royal life that have always been a barrier in achieving my dreams.
I was there when i met your uncle Mr. Lee (Dr. Lee's father)who was also a student of business administration there.
We become friend and after sometimes a lover in a short while.
I know I was a shame for royal family and never been anything good,neither a good daughter nor a good wife and unfortunately not even a good mother.
We (Queen shin yeon hye and Mr. Lee)were lost in so much emotions that we crossed our limits and i become pregnant with his child.Even though i was afraid of my father,Mr. Lee supported me and told me he will talk to him about our marriage but when we got there my father forcefully married me to your father with whom i shared that i am already pregnant with someone's child but still he married to me .

I gave birth to a baby boy after 8 and half month in a foreign country ,he knew that it was Mr lee's baby who was his manager.Your father managed to hide everything at that time Mr. Lee married to my sister due to circumstances.

My sister got to know that he had an illegitimate child but she still allowed our child in her house because she didn't know it was my child.

She was happy with her family by accepting the truth because she was infertile.It was boon for her that she had a baby to call her mother but i was burning every day , i was in depression when i gave birth to you and i don't know when i developed a strong hatred toward you and your father.

I loved my 1st child but always ignored you but the day when my own sister tried to kill me after knowing the truth and abused me calling me slut and witch ,I realised i should hate myself not any body else .God gave me second chance by giving you & you father to me but i started hating you as well as the man who truly loved me,your father.I am really a witch.

Now, when i know i am going to die soon because I am suffering from Liver Cancer,I want to meet you but your father will never allow me to do so after my attempt of killing you.

Sorry son,you deserve love ,a lot of love .

As a mother at last i just want to tell you please never hate anybody and never repeat the mistake i have comitted .

I love you and you have a different place in my heart child ,your mother miss you.

Your Mother
Shin Yeon Hye
