"Yeonhwa-ah..."
"Ne, Kim Jong In-sshi."
"Come with me."
"We can't. People will see us."
"Let them see."
"They would kill us both."
"I'm the prince, remember? I won't let that happen."
"This is wrong."
"No. It's not. Because I love you and we need to be together."
"How can i trust that i will be safe with you?"
"Just trust me."
"But how? I'm scared of being queen, Jongin-sshi."
"You'll be with me."
"Can you promise that?"
"Of course i can."
"Then promise me that i'll be safe."
"I promise the world to you, Yeonhwa. I promise you'll be safe. I promise you these wings of jade."
"But Jongin-ah... wings of jade are too heavy to fly."
