The King's Affection (Fanfiction)_English

Chapter (7) Assassination at Royal Hunting

(The 5 years was quickly passed and the prince was now 19 years old. According to tradition, at the age of 15, the prince had to choose a Crown Princess, but this place was still vacant because the king had postponed it. There were whispers about the king's attitude, but this time the prince was thankful for his father's coldness. Because of his father's attitude, the prince was able to live in peace for five years. Although she didn't know how long can she continue to pretend, she had to do her best to save the lives of everyone around her. Therefore, she only focusses on her present character, Crown Prince Lee Hwi and have to forget completely who she is and a girl.

That is why no one dares to say that to a prince who was once said to be as like as beautiful woman. For these past five years, the prince has been training hard to get rid of such voices, and he is trying to become promising crown prince. Although she is slightly shorter than the boys, still taller than the girls. And no one could stand side by side with her due to his title, so it could not say that she is short. He changed from being a white skinny boy to a tall and slender with a delicate build young man. However, the name "Five-Step Prince" and "Ice Prince" did not disappear and became more prominent because no one see the prince smile during these years.

Today the King went out for hunting, and the whole palace is busy to prepare. The Crown Prince also got ready and came out of her quarter. When, they arrive the Royal Hunting Area, everyone tried their best to show their effort to King. As same as usually, the Crown Prince is the first one who can kill the deer.

When Prince Changwoon, Prince Wonsan and Grand Prince Jehyeon meet together, Prince Changwoon said....

He sure makes one arrogant Crown Prince. He has his maternal grandfather to thank. Without his grandfather, he wouldn't have been the Crown Prince. The Queen has the King wrapped around her little fingers. So, he only adores Prince Jehyeon. That explains his need to compensate.

When Prince Changwoon said like that, Prince Wonsan remind him that....

Please watch you toungue, Uncle. This isn't a private gathering.

What? So, what if people hear us? I wasn't making stuff up anyway. You know what? Do you remember when he was a young age, all said that he is like a beautiful girl. I think, now also not so different. Right?

Uncle...

(Meanwhile, the Crown Prince also getting near to them, however, Prince Changwoon didn't stop what he said and continue....)

I should catch one of those deer, so I can get on the good side of Lord Sangheon. Who knows? He might prefer a man of vigor like me to someone who looks like a delicate flower.

(Although no one dare to say the Crown Prince is like a beautiful woman, the Prince Changwoon is exception. The Prince aimed her arrow and released it, the arrow pass beside the Prince Changwoon and he fell off from the horse. Therefore, he looked back to the Crown Prince and Crown Prince point in front and he saw the snake with an arrow in its body. The Crown Prince said....)

You said you wanted to catch something for my grandfather. If that so, you need to be alive. The next time you are rash with your words, I will not let it slide even if you are my uncle.

(While the Prince said that, Prince Wonsan smiled coldly and think that the Crown Prince really has grown up.

Leaving her uncle behind, the prince continues to set out to hunt. She knew that her little brother Grand Prince Jehyeon was looking at him, but she did not look back. He is the son of Queen and grandson of Lord Changchun, the Chief State Councilor and the beloved prince of the King. While, herlself was the grandson of Lord Sangheon; the Left State Councilor and the Crown Prince who didn't receive any acknowledge from the King. They are like two parallel lines. To avoid any unwanted problems, the Crown Prince always stay away from Grand Prince.

Not soon after the Crown Prince left from the group, she was assassinated. Fortunately, the arrow was missed due to sudden pushed of Prince Jaeun. When the Prince saw his brother suddenly at Royal Hunting Area, she surprised and said....

How on earth are you here, brother?

We must head out of the woods since it's not safe here.

But the assassinator....

He will soon be caught now that Commander Yoon went after him.

(The prince was assassinated, so there was an uproar. The king asked....)

An assassin? An assassin attacked the Crown Prince?

(The Prince Jaeun answered that......)

Yes, Commander Yoon went after him, so we'll soon know of his identity.

Why are you still standing here? Go after the assassin!

Yes, sir!

(The Queen approach near Crown Prince and asked..........)

Are you sure you were unharmed? That was a close call.

(The Crown Prince didn't answer and just look the Queen. Then, the Queen said to the King....)

Your Majesty, we should return to the palace. It seems as though danger lurks in these woods. I will command the royal carriage to be ready.....

(When the Queen said like that Lord Sangheon said.....)

No one should leave the royal hunting site.

Explain yourself, Left State Councilor.

Soldiers stand guard here at the royal hunting site. Without help from an insider, how could an assassin have made it to our vicinity?

(Lord Changchun turn the question back to Lord Sangheon....)

Are you accusing us of sneaking in an assassin?

Those who'd benefit from His Royal Highness' falling are undoubtedly all gathered here.

What?

(The the King said....)

Choose your words carefully. Wait for Commander Yoon and soon we can know the answer.

(The assassin was soon capture, but the case was closed because he had been disgruntled with the Left State Councilor and this is the reason why he assassinated the Crown Prince.)
