Chapter 11 Lesson

"goodmorning students, today we will talk about...about..." the duke fainted just in front of his orderly, just a second after he opened his eyes slightly and said with a soft voice

"Dan Sae..." 

"You should rest your highness" the orderly said concerned

"no... it's ok... I feel better now

They all went into the classroom and they started their latin lesson, after a bit Sunwoo started chatting with Hansung who was just next to him

"...why is this so boring..."

"you shouldn't talk like that sunwoo...calm down" 

"why?" 

"because my patience has a limit Sunwo'ssi, I won't repeat this simple concept if it is for you to understand" the duke said turning his head to the several students

"silence please, I don't want you to go out of the classroom for a stupid thing like this!" Hansung said

"do you like me that much?" Sunwoo asked to his friend 

"yup" Hansung replied

"aww" Sunwoo continued

"Quousque tandem abutere Sunwoo patientia nostra? Quamdiu etiam furor iste tuus nos eludet? Quem ad finem sese effrenata iactabit audacia? If you're so smart that you can talk and at the same time follow my lesson then translate this sentence for me and for all your friends" Maurice ordered

"if you're asking me to say sorry then I'm not gong to do it" Sunwoo replied

"Do you have so much problems dealing with authorities? Stultus!" the duke yelled

"I think he just insulted you Sunwoo" Yeowool said smirking

"why should I see a european like an autho...wait...is that blood that from your nose?" Sunwoo expression changed suddenly

"What are you talking about?! Do you think that ... that...wait... I think... you're right..." the duke fainted again, Dan Sae and David took him to his bedroom and asked the others to go to the courtyard and let him rest.

"that's strange... what's happening here?" Banryu said

"maybe he's just sick" Sunwoo stated, the Jidwi explained

"he can't be just sick, yesterday he was perfectly..." he couldn't finish getting interrupted by Yeowool

"Lover's curse"

"what are you talking about?" Sunwoo asked

"Lover's curse" Sooho repeated what Yeowool said just a moment before

"would you please explain to us poor mortals what are you talking about?" Sunwoo asked

"Lover's curse... a sweet kiss... to warn you that you are not immortal" Yeowool continued

"can't you be a little more clealrer?" Jidwi asked

"It's a poison..." Sooho got interrupted by Hansung

"is he going to die?"

"No Hansungie, he won't die, this poison just gives you a weak blood loss and the feeling you're facing death, however it goes away after 24 hours" Yeowool replied

"How do you know this things?" Jidwi asked

"well, we are both lovers, this is a poison that often someone who loves you but you don't love back use to take revenge over you, often it is used on tea leaves" Sooho answered 

"so, who do you think used it?" Banryu asked

"Well, we just have to wait" Yeowool replied.

In the meanwhile, Do Hyun and Dong suk went to visit his highness the duke in his bedroom.

"so, how are you know? I hope you liked my little joke" Do hyun said laughing

"well... I must admit that I liked it... however... you know you began a war with me right?" the duke asked

"of course my dear, but we both know who will win this right?" Do hyun continued

"oh calm down, keep it a surprise...  but let be frank, poison was a bit too obvious, don't you think so your highness?" Maurice stated smirking

"Poison?...oh yes... well... I will do my best to win this challange... your highness" Do hyun said just before leaving

Afte a few minutes Do hyun reached his quarters and immediately asked to his butler

"what have you done? poison? are you crazy? I just asked you to frighten him just a bit, not to kill him for God's sake"

"calm down sweetie, I did it just for you!" Dong suk yelled back

"just for me?! do you know what i want?"

"Power!" the butler answered

"what? Why do you and my father hate me this much? What have I done to be so hated by everyone? Love... this is what I'm looking for... this is what I hope I will find in the depth of your heart..." Do hyun stated while looking through the window

"why? why should you let your fortune be wasted? You have so much opportunities, you could even become the Joseon king! You could do everything you want!" Dong suk replied

"the tell me why the only thing I actually wish and desire is neglected... why the only thing that lead me to live til today isn't allowed...why don't you answer? why!?" Do hyun yelled, tearfull

"I..." the butler stated

"yes you... my only reason to live...you ..." Do hyun fell to his knees...waving his hand in order to make his butler go away, when Dong Suk was about to leave the room he said

"I...will make you a cup of tea... your highness"
