Chapter 5
Legend of the Butterfly PavilionLady Kim enters the room and bows to Yewon, "Your highness."
Yewon nods. "Lady Kim, please summon Consort Jeon."
Lady Kim nods and goes out of the pavillion.
After a while, Consort Somi of the Jeon Clan enters the pavillion.
"Your Highness." Lady Jeon bows.
"Consort Jeon, how have you been?" Yewon asks with a smile.
"With your grace, my mother's health has improved."
Yewon smiles and nods. "I'm sure you've heard the news Consort Jeon."
Somi nods and looks at Yewon. Yewon and Somi have been friends since they entered the palace together and got married on the same day.
Yewon granted positions to Somi to keep Somi close to her.
"Sister Yewon.. your health is declining, How about a trip to Qing to seek treatment?"
Yewon shakes her head. "No, I shant receive treatment. If God calls me to join him. I will go to him."
Somi sighs.
"But Somi promise me one thing.." Yewon says as tears roll down her cheeks. "Promise me to take care of the baby in my womb." Yewon said as she carrased her stomach.
"Your Highness."
Yewon smiled, "The Royal Physician warned me, that this child might end my life, but I'm going to keep it."
Somi sighed as Yewon's words replayed in her head. She walked out of Yewon's pavilion and to the gardens with her retainers.
Somi meets Namjoon on her way. "Chief Commander Kim." She smiled as Namjoon bows to her. "Let's have a chat.." Namjoon nods as Somi walks to the garden pavilion and sits down.
"Commander Kim, do you know that your sister is pregnant?"
Namjoon's face was full of shock. "W-what? Don't kid around, My Lady!"
Somi sighed. "She refuses to get treatment in Qing, and refuses to give up this child.. just what will this child benefit from a lost mother."
Namjoon looked at Eunbi and did not say anything else. Both of them were covered in silence.
