She has been really patient with Kyujong and their endeavors as a married couple. She knows he doesn't wants her to worry about it but she just can't let herself watch him fight it with her being a burden.     Princess ______ knows her capabilities; she's smart, charming, tough but her weakness is being someone else's burden. Her resolution? To run.     She talked to her brother and father about her plan and as she expected, they supported her. The moment her servants assured her that her husband already went for his duties, she already got herself readied, disguised herself as a commoner and went for the palace gates where her father's prepared palanquin is waiting for her.     Her trip back to their residence is a long one, thanks to all the ideas floating inside her head. Now that she thinks about it and doing what they planned, she is wondering why is there a heavy feeling lingering inside her?     "Princess ______, welcome back." Youngsaeng's wife and her sister-in-law Eunbi welcomed her alongside with some personal guards.     "Unnie!" Eunbi welcomed her sister-in-law with a warm embrace before taking ______ to her room.     The travel somehow tires her regardless of how convenient it was given that she's been cooped up inside the palace for quite too long.

I... I can't believe I left him like that... Without even saying a word..." She said between sniffing.     "So... How do you really feel about him?"     How?     She doesn't know. Is she being affectionate? Concerned? Being a friend? Or...     "For now," ______ was brought back to reality as Eunbi started speaking "just stay here. Youngsaeng, Kyujong and your father will do everything in their power to keep us well and safe." Eunbi her hand on the younger's hair, soothing her until she fell asleep.     ***     Its been half a month since she left and all she get from her brother and father about how Kyujong is doing in the palace is nothing. It turns her crazy to think about his well-being every now and then, but she can't just leave their residence, especially now that the rift between her father and Minister Han is out in the open.     One day, as she tried to sneak out and strolled at the nearby market, she heard something peculiar.
