Chapter 15: The Interview

The Little Prince

"Oppa, you have a visitor." When Sunghoon returned to the mansion of the second princess in a suit and a black coat, Yunzhi stopped him at the door and said: "But I want you to see this first."

Sunghoon clicked on the video and asked: "How long ago was this?"

That was about half an hour ago when Jiwon was interviewed by an online news platform. Sunghoon got goosebumps, because he knew at a glance that this was a surprise attack, and it was absolutely not been approved by the Imperial Household Agency.

"Hello everyone, I'm Eun Jiwon. Recently, I noticed that everyone seems to have forgotten that I was the founder of the royal loser. For this reason, I was quite dissatisfied, so I decided to take back the title of national bastard tonight." Jiwon said expressionlessly.

"I would like to come out to all Korean citizens that… Me, the Marquis Eun Jiwon, a biual, and during the past few months, after I stepped down as the regent prince, I am in love with Prince Lee Jaijin."

At this time, the reporter asked, "Your Excellency, do you have any evidence to prove  your relationship with the prince is true?"

"I can't, because he is currently under restraint by the royal court. Of course, I can't confirm my words. I don't have any photo of him on my phone. There are only some photos of the sketches of me drawn by him. It can't be considered as an evidence. Jiwon said honestly: "In addition, I know that I am notorious, and I don’t have to bet on my title to make any boring vow, but you can think about it, as the next person in the royal family's succession, such a lie is nothing good for me..."

"The only logical explanation is that I am a man who is crazy in love, and this is how he taught me." Jiwon sat a little forward in his seat and looked at the camera intently: "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eyes." 

“Why did you have the interview? Do you want to publicly appeal to the royal court to end of the restrictions on the prince’s personal freedom? Or do you want to declare that you also support the prince's political preference that were previously open to the public?" The reporter then asked.

"Considering the upcoming polling day in two weeks, first of all, I hope that the royal court will release him after the election, but I have no intention of disclosing my political tendencies, I think the key issue of this election has been distorted because of the prince's previous speak. However, it may have blurred the focus. In addition to the issue of the royal family's preservation or abolition, there might be some other things that need to be considered by all citizens, which can be included in your reference when voting.”

"I just want to remind all those who want to hurt him, whatever inside or outside the palace. Excuse me, when you want to set him up, the person you have to deal with is me. When you want to dump him, the next person you have to face is still me. As long as the principle of the monarchy is not deleted from the constitution, you will not be able to get rid of me. I am not a new kid on the block. I have been playing these games for 40 years, and I've survived for the last 20 years that everyone has tried to destroy me. Bring it on!”

In the end, he said, "Just think about it, let us both be free, or keep playing with a rogue, you could make a choice .”

The reporter finally asked: “Your Excellency, do you suggest the royal family to expel Prince Jaijin and you?"

"I don't care," Jiwon raised an eyebrow: "I really don't deserve to be a member of them, but Jaijin... I think the royal court is not worthy of him."
