🔞Chapter (43) A consummation? 🔞

(The King went to the Queen's Palace as promised and as the Queen is waiting him with food and drink. After sitting down, the King does not say a word, but only drinks wine. After drinking three or four cups.......)

"Your father colluded with Lord Sangheon to raise an army in Yeoyeon."

"Pardon Your Majesty, what did you say? My...my father, he...he..."

"Don't worry too much, Lord Sangheon hasn't rebelled yet and I will do what I can do to stop your father from being executed."

"So, that's why, you cannot consummate with me? How can a rebel's daughter deserve to be the mother of the Country? Any punishment will be accepted with honor."

"No, it is not the real reason...the real reason is...."

(The King slowly took off her robe and then the binder appeared clearly. The Queen was so shocked to see that and.....)

"Your Majesty, you...you..."

"Yes, I am a girl."

"But how...how can it be?"

"I am sorry, please forgive me for deceiving you all this time."

"This is impossible, how can be the King of Joeson a woman? You...are you kidding me right, Your Majesty."

"This is the reason why I could not tell you anything and I could not consummate you. I am a woman, and I cannot be your husband. The guilt weighing me down is what kept me from embracing you. So, I didn't come to your Palace and make a line with you. But who would have thought that I was falling in love with you. I don't why I, a girl fall in love with you, a girl. May be because of your love, may be because you are too innocent. I can see your love for me in your every poem. I can feel how much you love me. I would like you to be happy and so later I chose to stay close to you. But, that night in the Royal Study Room, I knew that not only I would like to see you happy, but also I have a desire for you. Therefore, I said to myself that I can't be too close to you. I can't be too greedy. I am sorry, My Queen, even though my life is a lie, my love for you is real."

"But why...why did you choose to tell me the truth now? You should have kept the secret buried. What if I use this against you and blackmail you into excusing my father's crimes? What if I choose to threaten your life?"

"If so, I will accept it as my fate. The way I have wronged you is greater than that. And I never thought to keep this secret from you. I want to tell you all when I could solve the matter of Lord Sangheon. But now...because of expecting news, I can no longer keep this from you. I can't make you have a baby, and we need to arrange secretly, and no one let to know. If anything, leak I couldn't help you from deceiving the King."

"But why you are so stupid to tell me this?"

"My Queen, I know that I am not worthy of you and shouldn't say this. But I love you. I am afraid that you will hurt because of me. I dare not ask you to love me after knowing all this. I am ready to bear it even if you hate me. If any resentment you have should be directed at me. But just one thing I would like to request from you.., please continue pretending that you have a baby. I am willing to take any punishment from you after I can handle the Lord Sangheon matter well."
