    7.

    Yoon-bi was frozen. She was just spoke to the King about Se-won, and Se-won really appeared! What if he......

    "Are you okay, Your Highness? Please forgive my rudeness."
    Se-won's low, cold voice interrupted Yoon-bi's thoughts. He gently grabbed Yoon-bi's shoulders, and helped her to get her feet. Yoon-bi's face blushed, feeling embarrassed. She got up, and stared at the floor. She said, trying to not quivering.
    "It's okay. I'm the one should say sorry. It's my fault, and- "
    Se-won interrupted.
    "No. It's my fault. I should have noticed Your Highness. Could you forgive me, Your Highness?"
    "......Okay. Uh, please don't say this to anyone. Can you do it as a favor to me?"
    "Of course, Your Highness. I won't say to anyone."
    Then there was a silence. Yoon-bi kept staring at the floor. 
    'Oh, why I have to act like this? If this marriage wasn't true...... wait a minute.'
    Suddenly she felt angry. She's a princess! There is no reason to feel guilty front of anyone! She raised her head.
    "Well, I have to go. Have a good time."
    Then she stepped forward, not even looking at Se-won. But Se-won stopped her.
    "Please excuse me, Your Highness?"
    "What is it?"
    Yoon-bi said, looking at Se-won's face this time. To her surprise, his eyes showed confusion - not that usual cold ambient.
    "May I have honor to walk with you, Your Highness? I have something to tell you."
    Yoon-bi wanted to say 'No', but she found herself saying "Yes.".
    "Thank you so much, Your Highness. Let's go outside."
    Se-won said. His eyes showed that cold ambient again.
    Yoon-bi just nodded. 
    Then they walked together, on the path along King's man-made lake. For a minutes, they didn't say a word.
    "Well,"
    Se-won broken the silent.
    "I know Your Highness is now very confusing and don't like this marriage. But I'm not rebuking it."
    Yoon-bi still didn't say anything.
    "Because I don't want this marriage too."
    "What?"
    Yoon-bi was so surprised. This was not the King had said to her. King said, Se-won want Yoon-bi. But now, Se-won is saying he don't want this marriage.
    "I know this doesn't make sense. But please listen, Your Highness. It's all because of my father. He wants me to marry one of King's daughters - then he'll be more rich and powerful. So he asked Your Majesty to may I have that honor. But like I said earlier, I don't want this marriage too. So, what I'm trying to saying is, let's delay the marriage as possible. Then perhaps we'll be ready to this unexpected marriage."
    "Wait."
    Yoon-bi stopped Se-won by the moment. She was so surprised, she had to clean her thought. She could hardly believe this such nonsense situation.
    "You mean, you don't like this marriage?"
    "Same as you, Your Highness."
    "But if you really don't want this marriage, why don't you refuse?"
    "Because it's the Royal marriage, Your Highness. I cannot refuse it, except if I'd engaged to other person."
    "Whew......"
    Yoon-bi sighed in despair. But she felt better because now she knew Se-won don't want this marriage too - though that's strange. And maybe there is a way to cancel the marriage, if they delaying it.
    "Well, thank you for telling me these things anyway."
    "You're welcome, Your Highness. Now, tell me. What do you think when you'll be ready to marry?"
    Yoon-bi thought deeply. Five years later? No, then King will not allow it. She decided to three years.
    "Maybe three years later, I guess."
    Se-won nodded.
    "I'll said that to Your Majesty. But, you have to promise me two things, Your Highness. "
    Se-won stopped walking.
    "First, we'll have to meet often. Because if we do not, it can start a rumor that we're refuse to not obey King's order."
    "Okay. Then come to the palace whenever you like. What's the second?"
    "Thank you, Your Honor. And second, we have to do not fell in love - in three years at least. Then it'll be all right, I suppose."
    "Oh, you're right. I promise that two things."
    "Thank you, Your Highness."
    Now Yoon-bi's feeling was quite better. She don't have to marry in three years at least. And now she thought Se-won as a fine person, though she don't want to marry him. Yoon-bi even smiled a little when the moon appeared at dark sky.
    "Let's go back to palace now, Your Highness. It's getting late."
    Se-won said. They started to walk back to the palace. 
    They were at the end of the lake. It was very dark, and there was no light except the moon and stars.
    They walked with a silence, but it was not an awkward one. And the night air made Yoon-bi smiled.
    "Oh, I almost forgot! What should we call our relationship?"
    Yoon-bi said suddenly.
    "I haven't think about that, Your Highness. I suppose I'm your fiancé. ......Isn't it?"
    "Well......to the palace people, of course. But that's not what I'm saying. What should we call each other, when there isn't people around?"
    "I don't know, Your Highness."
    "Oh, I know! How about friends? Friends usually don't fell in love, like we promise!"
    Se-won smiled a little. Of course, Yoon-bi couldn't see that - it was very dark outside.
    "As you wish, Your Highness."
    "Okay. Then we're friends, till we could find a way to cancel this marriage."
    "Or till get married."
    Se-won added.
    They kept walking to the palace, slowly.
    Yoon-bi and Se-won were in a better mood than that day's afternoon.
    Then suddenly the wind blew, and a tree branch hit Se-won's face!
    "Ouch!"
    Se-won stopped. He covered his face in hands. Yoon-bi gasped.
    "Are you okay?"
    "I think so."
    "Oh, let me see."
    Yoon-bi grabbed Se-won's wrist and pull his hand down, to see his face. Se-won's cheek had a cut, and it was bleeding!
    "You're bleeding! Oh, what should we do?"
    "It's okay, Your Highness. It's just a little hurt. I can clean it at the palace, so- "
    "Oh no. Just wait a second."
    Yoon-bi searched in her pocket, and pulled out a handkerchief.
    "Now, hold still for a moment."
    Then Yoon-bi stand on a tiptoe, and cleaned Se-won's wound softly. Se-won stood still as he told. His breath heated up.
    "Are you okay? Your face is so hot. Oh, May I take your pulse?"
    Yoon-bi took Se-won's pulse. Then she cried out, startled.
    "Your pulse is beating so fast! Are you okay, really?"
    Yoon-bi didn't noticed Se-won's face was red. It was too dark, and she can hardly see Se-won's face. 
    Se-won cleared his throat.
    "Hm-hmm. I'm okay, Your Highness. Thank you so much."
    "Oh, that's nothing. Here, hold your wound with this."
    Yoon-bi handed her handkerchief to Se-won. Se-won quitely took the handkerchief.
    Soon, they reached Yoon-bi's palace. Court ladies were standing outside, waiting Yoon-bi.
    "I have to go now. Don't forget to treat your wound! And the promise."
    Yoon-bi said.
    "Thank you, Your Highness. It was pleasure to walk with you. ......I'll come tomorrow to keep the promise."
    Se-won bowed, and left the palace. His pulse - No, heart was still beating fast. He noticed something new had came to his mind. Yes, Se-won didn't knew it well - but people call it as 'Love'. Or in other word, 'Crush'.
    Se-won returned to his home, thinking of Yoon-bi all the way home.


    That same day afternoon, Sul-yeon was on her palace courtyard, feeling bored. She wanted to bring Yoon-bi and make fun of her, but Yoon-bi was with King. Then Sul-yeon couldn't call her surely.
    "Your Highness!"
    Suddenly Sul-yeon heard someone calling her. She looked around, and noticed a male servant coming.
    "What's the matter?"
    "Lady Park is looking for you. Should I bring her here?"
    The servant replied gently. Sul-yeon surprised when she heard the servant's voice - because it was such a nice voice.
    Sul-yeon looked at the servant - head to toe. She thought, 'what an extraordinary handsome servant!'.
    "No, say to her that I'm going in."
    "Yes, Your Highness."
    The servant bowed, and took a step to the palace.
    "Wait,"
    Sul-yeon stopped the servant.
    "I guess you're new to here. What's your name? Is you going to be my servant?"
    "Jeong Woon, Your Highness. I'm working for Princess Yoon-bi and some Court ladies. But one of your servant asked me to deliver the word to you instead of him, so I'd came here for just now."
    "I see. Okay, you may go now."
    Woon bowed and went to doing his work.
    Sul-yeon stared his back, and murmured to herself.
    "That's the servant who were walked with Yoon-bi."
