King Jiyong walks to advisor Jinwoo’s office in such a rush pace. Inside the office, Jinwoo is already waiting for the King. He opens the door and the King steps in

“Did you find the answer?” the King asks his advisor

“My apology your majesty, but the answer is still the same. It never happened before” He says politely

“But, how come? He is my son, my crown prince, the heir of this kingdom. He should have his mark just like the previous kings” Jiyong asks confusedly. Jinwoo inhales

“There’s only two possibilities about this condition, Your Majesty” he says, and Jiyong turns his head to face him

“Say it”

“First…, Prince Joon is not your biological son” Jinwoo said carefully, but still earning a sharp deadly glare from the King. On the other hand, Jiyong feels so angry. But he knows, his advisor just tell the possibilities, so he keeps silence and holds his anger

“And the other one?” Jiyong asks seriously

The advisor still bows. “The second is…, Prince Joon is not your first Son…” he continued, gives another strike to the King

“What do you mean?!” Jiyong’s voice is rising

“My apology, Your Majesty…, but there are no other possibilities…” he bows

“You mean, I have another Son?” Jiyong frowns. His mind is completely confused by this situation. It’s been two months since the crown prince Joon was born…, without the royal sign. And so far, only the king, his advisor, and the warriors realizes about this weird case.

Hours later, King Jiyong is still sitting alone at his private library, thinking about what his advisor said. The two possibilities….

No matter which one the truth is, both of them are still hard to believe

“No way… Joon is my baby. There’s no way my wife cheating on me” he mumbles frustratingly. He loves his baby…

“But if Joon is my biological child…, it means, I have another son…” his head is spinning. As he remembers, he never involved with any women before he married to Hyojin.

The king couldn’t stop thinking about it, and suddenly his head throbs and he growls in pain. And again…, a woman silhouette flashed in his head

“Who are you?” he mumbles while still holding his head

“I think the first possibility is more possible” Minji sits next to her husband. Daesung who is swinging his baby boy looks at his wife instantly

“What do you talking about? Did you just accuse the queen cheats on the King?” he said rather pissed

“But there are only two options, Oppa. if the first one is wrong, then do you believe the second one? Then, did you just accuse the king has another woman out there?”Minji blurts. “I’m sorry my hubby.., but if there’s someone who’s cheating, I believe it’s not the King. We both know he never involved romantically with any woman before the queen. If the second option is true, that means the king has an older son out there! I don’t believe it” Minji keeps explaining, makes her husband jaw-dropped

“Omo.., my wife is really smart” he smiles, earning a light slap on his arms

“What? You believe in my opinion now?” she pouts, makes Daesung laughs and peck her lips lightly

“Mian…” he smiles, but then his face turns serious. “But…, if the first option is right, then…. Who’s Prince Joon’s biological father?” Dae thinks deeply

“That’s your job to find out, Sir Kang. You have best spies team in the world” she takes their baby from his arms who is starts to crying and -feeding him

“But I need King’s agreement to do the investigation. But how? His majesty would be very angry if I speak about this to him” he said, caressing their baby on his wife’s arms

“Why? Hedoesn’t love the queen though” Minji scoffs. They all knows that the king-queen marriage was arranged by Princess Soran

“But still, every husband would be angry if he found out that his wife is cheating, whether he loves her or not”Dae states, makes her smile

“So, Oppa.., what will you feel if you find that I’m cheating?” she asks, makes him shocked

“What??”

“Sshhh… Daemin is about to sleep…” she slaps her husband arm lightly “Just wanna know Oppa…” she smiles

“Aigoo…, don’t you dare to do it even in your mind!” he said in a serious tone

“Wae?” she asks teasingly. Daesung pulls her chin and kisses her deeply

“Because I won’t be able to survive without you….” he says and Minji kisses him again, very passionately

“You’ll survive, Oppa… because I’ll never do that. My body, heart, and soul… are only yours...” she whispers, and they’re kissing again

Prince Soohyuk walks hurriedly into his secret chamber where his spies and assassins are waiting for him. He walks inside the room and seat on his usual seat

“So, did you find something?” Prince Soohyuk asks the leader of his spies team. Soohyuk and his team keeps searching and collecting every single information related to the time when Jiyong was lost. He keeps searching for something that could dethrone the king

“Just like we’ve been predicted, your highness. Someone found him and took care of him during his missing period”Myungsoo, the spies leader answered

“And that someone is?” Soohyuk raises his left eyebrows

“A young woman. She is a farmer and has a strawberry field in the western side near the valley”Myungsoo adds.

“And what is the ‘important information’ you’ve told me before?” Soohyuk asks. Myungsoo looks up at the prince

“Your highness…, we’ve got some information. King Jiyong was married to that young lady. And she is now in her seventh month of pregnancy…”Myungsoo’s information makes the prince’s eyes get widen. Soohyuk got an instant shock, but then back to his sanity

“So…, you mean.., that woman is carrying the King’s child?” Soohyuk raises his voice, still shocked, while his men nod. “Are you sure about this?” Soohyuk asks again, reassuring himself

“We’re still collecting more information, your highness. But that woman and other villagers didn’t know that the man is King Jiyong. They’ve known him as Jingyo”Myungsoo explains, bows his head, gives the prince an extra shock

“Keep going on it! Make sure that the information is legit. And if that information is true, just clean them before they give us more trouble” Soohyuk becomes a little groggy. If that woman is really carrying Jiyong’s child, that means she’s carrying a sole heir of the kingdom, the real crown prince or princess. And it could put his son in danger. Or if Jiyong know about this, h is sure, the king will look for them and take them to the palace, make the woman as his mistress, or even his new queen, and his child as Prince or princess. Yeah, once Jiyong find out that Joon is not his child, it will be a big disaster for them.

“But, your highness, why don’t we make them as your ace instead?They will bring some troubles for the King for sure, moreover in front of the elders” Suggest Myungsoo. But Soohyuk just fall silence. If only Joon was Jiyong’s son, he surely will do what Myungsoo suggested. But now, with their current condition, it will be safe if he get rid of them, before Jiyong remember them and bring them to the palace.

“No. it will be too dangerous for Prince Joon. I don’t want to take a risk” Soohyuk said calmly. Myungsoo nods and bows his head again. “Just do what I said. Clean them, before the King find them” he command. Myungsoo and his men with the assassins then nod and leave the room.

Soohyuk is now sitting alone, deep thinking, while his mother barged to the room

“Why did you command your man to kill them? Don’t you think they could be such a strong weapon for us?” Princess Soran says, in a rather pissed tone

“No, Omma
