It's peaceful and lively at the same time to supper inside the palace's garden with the royalties. The ladies are enjoying having a conversation with the princes and princesses

But Joohyun seems into her world, stealing some glances with the royal persons in front of her

'Is it possible that Yeri is not Junmyeon and Yongsun's sister?'

'No, maybe it's possible that sometimes past life and next life are not the same'

She wanders her eyes on them again, 'Maybe I won't meet Kang Seulgi here'

Then, her eyes darted on the Crown Prince who is wearing a mask-like how she met him at the royal marching

'This Crown Prince is a mysterious one. Does he need to cover his face right inside his home? Weirdo'

And then, back to Seungwan, 'But Wendy. She said that Silver spoon is her brother. Why is he not here? He can't be the Crown Prince, he is stupid to be the next one to rule Joseon'

'Not that Silver spoon-'

"Joohyun, His Royal Highness is giving his gratitude with you" Mother Bae suddenly cut her thoughts out

"H-huh?" She tilted her head and immediately bow her head to Seulgi when her Mother eyed her

"It's.. It's my pleasure to help you, Your Highness"

'Different Bae Joohyun, huh? I prefer you call me Silver Spoon' Seulgi smiled at her thought.

"Please enjoy the food. I noticed that you are not eating that much" She said

She is glad that the ladies can't recognize her voice. And that, Heechul didn't show up like what they talked about earlier

If they didn't plan it, Joohyun and the ladies would know that she's the Crown Prince

Joohyun chuckled awkwardly, "Yes, Your Highness"

Through the night, only Seulgi and Joohyun only didn't speak too much. It's just Seungwan and Yongsun who usually talks together with Yerim and Sooyoung

Seulgi is once again glad that they're comfortable being with them

"I'm already full, I want to take a walk on the other pond" Seungwan said and get up with the help of her servant

"You supposed to go at your quarter and have a rest, Princess Seungwan" Seulgi stopped her

Seungwan looked at her and frowned, "I don't have work to do tomorrow" she said and turn her gaze to Sooyoung who’s drinking her tea

"You're Sooyoung, right?" She flashes a gentle smile on the younger one

Sooyoung who was flushed just nodded her head

"It is okay with you, Physician Bae to borrow one of your assistants?" Seungwan asked Mother Bae

"If that's what you wished, Your Highness"

A victory smile flashed on Seungwan's face, while Sooyoung, Byul-yi, and Yerim are surprised

"Come on, stand up. Let's talk for a while"

Sooyoung takes a look at Yeri and back to Seungwan, "C..Can we bring her too?" She pointed to Yerim who is smiling from ear to ear at Seungwan

"I apologized with both of you for this that you saw me again but as a Princess now" Seungwan started to speak

Sooyoung and Yerim looked at her in puzzled. They're walking on the bridge with the court ladies following them behind

"I usually leave the palace in disguise with my friends outside" She said

"But, Your Highness. When we met you, you said Mister Donghee is your brother?" Yerim asked that made Seungwan halted

"Is he the crown prince?" Sooyoung 

'Donghee?' she suddenly chuckles out on her thought, 'This Kang Seulgi again'

"No, of course. He is one of my friends outside the palace. Minister of Rites is his father, that's why. And I'd usually say he is my brother because people think we're lovers." Seungwan cackles on her word, "They won't believe when I say we're friends"

"He is a delicate man" Sooyoung commented, "He is even a friend of the Princess!"

Seungwan smiled at the taller one's action and nodded her head, "He is"

"Can we ask this, Your Highness?" Yerim asked once again

"What is it?"

"Why His Royal Highness, uh.." Yerim took a glance at Sooyoung and back to Seungwan, "Wearing a mask?"

"Oh that" Seungwan took a deep breath and looked at the pond

"I'm sorry if we asked too much, Your Highness" Sooyoung bow her head but Seungwan stopped her

"He is prohibited to show his face to everyone outside the palace. It's part of the great former King rules when you are the Crown Prince" Seungwan explained and the two younger ones nodded their head

"Are you ladies hoping to see his face?" She glared at the two playfully

"N-no!" They answered in unison immediately, shaking their heads vigorously that made Seungwan laugh at their action

"I understand. The rumor is right, he is a good looking Crown Prince"

"Physician Bae" Bogum suddenly spoke up after the silence when Seungwan left with Sooyoung and Yerim

"Yes, Your Highness?" Mother Bae bows her head at him

Bogum took a sip on his tea as he stare at Joohyun, "You should've sent her inside the Palace"

His statement made Seulgi turn her head at him. Even Mother Bae is surprised

"I'm sorry Your Highness?"

Bogum takes a look at his siblings and cousins, "Lady Bae is pretty, right?"

Yongsun raised her brows, "What do you mean by that, Prince Bogum?"

The Prince shrugged his shoulder and drank his tea with a smile on his face

Meanwhile on Seulgi and Byul-yi studied Bogum's expression

'This stupid. Do you like my lady huh? I got to know her first!' she swore on him at her thought, but her lips twitching up is visible

Junmyeon saw how his cousin look at Bogum that made him chuckle silently, 'Now I know'

"You can send her inside the palace to be one of my candidates to be a Princess since she's Lord Bae's daughter, she's considered as a Noble Lady" Bogum blurted out, surprising everyone around him at the table

Especially, Seulgi

"Are you out of your mind?" Seulgi snapped him out

Bogum gave her a smug smile, "I like her beauty. It is bad, Your Highness?"

Joohyun frowned, 'He is still the same guy I know. Annoying. Lucky you, you're a prince here and a president in my workplace'

She then felt a hand reaching hers, no other than Byul-yi. 'Still protective friend of mine'

It was silent since Bogum said that

But Seulgi kept shut. She couldn't understand what she's feeling inside

Anger for what happened a while ago inside the execution yard? Or with what Bogum said?

She doesn’t know. She just feels like pushing her half-brother on the lake

Preventing herself from doing that, she closed her fist tight and took a deep breath discreetly

As they went home, the Ladies are already on their respective bed

Joohyun couldn't sleep because of thinking about what had just happened together with how Yerim took all the space on her bed 

She keeps wandering how Yerim is not part of the royalties when Yongsun and Junmyeon was there

Then, she decided to come out from the lodge and found Sooyoung outside lying on the patient's bed

"Are you trying to be a patient too, Park Sooyoung?"

The younger one jolted up from her position and she sighed in relief when it's Joohyun

"Why are you still awake, Eonnim? We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow"

Joohyun take a seat beside her and took a breath, "I just can't sleep"

"Me too" Sooyoung muttered and lay her back down again, followed by Joohyun

"What were you thinking?"

"I just couldn't believe that we got a palace pass and invited over by the Crown prince"  Sooyoung muttered, "I've been dreaming about it then pew! Because of what you've done, my dream came true"

Joohyun let out a soft chuckle, "You even had time to talk alone with Princess Seungwan"

"Yes, it was a pleasure to talk with her"

It was a moment of silence between them until Joohyun decided to ask out of curiosity, "Can I know who is Princess Seungwan? Whose child is she?"

"She is His Majesty's daughter with the Queen. And Prince Bogum is her brother. I think she was born weeks after the Crown Prince was born" Sooyoung told her, "When Auntie Bae told us about it, I thought Princess Seungwan is the Crown Prince's twin but then"

She paused and faced Joohyun who's listening to her with a lot of thoughts on her mind already, "Crown Prince is His Majesty's second son with his first concubine. The Late Former King said that the 15th King must be born in Dry Winter and that's it"

'Seungwan is The King's daughter..'

'She is Bogum's sister'

'So, they're the President's child?! She hasn’t told me about this!'

'But.. the Crown Prince. Who is he? Have I met his 2nd life?'

"Have you know who is your real parents and brother, babe?" Irene asked her girlfriend who's busy in the kitchen

"Yep. But I don't wanna talk about it yet" Wendy shrugged her shoulder. Irene just studied her face and decided not to ask again. She knew she has to respect her girlfriend's decision not to talk about it yet

"So, she knew?" She mumbled to herself. "You stupid Wendy, you knew you're the president's daughter?!-"

She then realized that Sooyoung was beside her. Fortunately, the younger is already sleeping

Joohyun shut her eyes tight and sighed in relief, "This is making me insane but fun at the same time to know some things" she chuckled at herself

On the next day, It was another morning and a lot of patients are still passing by on Capital's infirmary that made Joohyun busy helping them.

Same as with the other helpers inside the infirmary

Everyone got to know about Joohyun curing the Crown Prince's mother that amused them all and keep complimenting her as the rumors spread quickly

"Joohyun Eonnim!" Yerim went inside the private lodge and found Joohyun arranging the needles

She looked at her, "Yes, Yerim?"

"Young Mister Donghee is waiting for you outside" Yerim said that made Joohyun raises her brows in confusion

She stood up and take a peek at the door, there, she found Seulgi talking with some old sick patients

"What's this Silver spoon doing here?" she mumbled

Little did she know, Yerim just pulled her outside to Seulgi

Seulgi stood up immediately and made a polite bow to Joohyun when she saw the latter

Joohyun did the same

"Hi, Lady Joohyun!" Seulgi grinned widely at her, "The whole capital is talking about you that you cured the Crown Prince's mother unknown skin disease"

Seulgi then raised her thumb to Joohyun, "You did great! Do you want to eat gukbap with me?"

Joohyun raised her brows and turn her gaze on Yerim who's giving her a vigorous nod

"I already asked for Physician Bae's permission" Seulgi grinned

"I-"

"Come on, Young Lady. Don't refuse a beautiful man like him" An old lady patient in

Seulgi smirked arrogantly and Joohyun gave her a disgusted look, "You're full of yourself, Silver spoon" she hissed

The taller one twitched her lips up, "Hey! You must be thankful that I helped you?"

Joohyun huffed, "Demanding Silver spoon?" She shot her a glare

Seulgi was about to retort when Sooyoung came, "Oh! It's you!" Sooyoung flashed her wide smile on Seulgi

"Yes, it's me"

"Are you asking my Eonnim out?" Sooyoung asked as she waggle her brows. Seulgi just gave her a mischievous wink that made Sooyoung and Yerim squeals in happiness

Joohyun looked at her friends in disbelief, "Two of you, behave"

And they shut themselves

"Come on, Lady. Let's eat gukbap, it's my treat" Seulgi said

Joohyun sighed as she nodded her head and Seulgi pumped her fist on the air

"I'll change first" Joohyun said and went back to the private lodge, leaving Yerim and Sooyoung with Seulgi

"Hey, mister. We went inside the palace yesterday and we met Lady Seungwan- I mean, Princess Seungwan" Yerim said. It surprised Seulgi a little but of course, she knows. She was there

"Really? What did she guys tell you?" She asked with a smile on her face. Seungwan told her earlier before she leave the palace  what she told the Ladies, she's just a friend outside the palace

"We thought you're part of the royalties too but then Her Highness said you're just a friend outside the palace. You must be honored!" Sooyoung answered her with enthusiasm

Seulgi looked around and luckily the old lady who butts in earlier is taken by Mother Bae

Yerim then nudges herself on Seulgi, "Have you seen Crown Prince’s face already?"

Seulgi nodded her head and the two gawked in amusement, "Really?!"

"Yes, he is a good-looking crown prince"  'and it's me'

"I wish we could see his face" The two muttered in unison

'I'll tell you soon, ladies'

Then, she remembered what Seungwan favored her. She took something inside her robe, a folded silk linen

"I went inside the palace earlier because of my father then Princess Seungwan asked me to give you this, Sooyoung" Seulgi lend the folded silk linen to Sooyoung

Sooyoung took it in hesitant as she and Yerim looked at each other in confusion

"Her Highness giving a personal letter to her?" Yerim asked Seulgi as she pointed Sooyoung beside her

Seulgi nodded her head, "I don't know anything, she just asked me to give it to her" she shrugged

Joohyun then came with her regular attire, "Shall we? Because I still have a lot to do" She said

Seulgi turn her head and saw Joohyun, she immediately smiled at her, "Alright. Let's go" she extended her hand to Joohyun but the lady just flicked her hand

"You kept refusing me, huh?" Seulgi pouts and Joohyun just rolled her eyes

They bid goodbye to Sooyoung and Yerim and leave the two smiling mischievously

"That two giving us a cat and dog relationship feeling" Sooyoung mumbled and Yeri agreed

"Did Joohyun Eonnim just leave with that nobleman?" Byul-yi came with a table tray in her hands

"Yes, And you know what, I have this feeling that they can be good lovers"

As walking around the marketplace, Seulgi didn't fail to smile every time some villagers is giving Joohyun a compliments

"You're getting more popular these days huh?" Seulgi stood up in front of Joohyun to block her

Joohyun crossed her arms and look up at her, "This kind of face can get popular, you know" she flashed a smirk that made Seulgi amused

"Oho, now who's so full of herself huh?" Seulgi cackled out on Joohyun

"You've just said that I'm pretty, silver spoon. I have your portrait of me as proof" Joohyun smirked and walked passed on her, leaving Seulgi chuckling in disbelief

"She is really something, huh?" she mumbled to herself

She turned around and ran after Joohyun

"Are we going to that old lady again who keeps cursing out?" Joohyun asked as she wandering her eyes around

"Yes, she has the best gukbap ever-"

"Donghee!!!"

Both of them halted on their track as a man with a young kid on his back wearing a commoner's clothes and a noble-looking man, went towards them

"Oh! Baekhyun Hyung, Chanyeol hyung!" Seulgi hugged them in enthusiasm as a greeting and Joohyun saw how wide her smile is

"You never show yourself up again for weeks! What's with you, huh?!" Baekhyun hissed and flicked Seulgi's forehead

Chanyeol noticed Joohyun and greet her with a polite bow

"Ow! I'm just busy.  And you" She turn her gaze to the young kid, "Kim Minjeong, you didn't miss me? Why don't you hug me?" She playfully gave her a glare

Minjeong looked at Joohyun and back to Seulgi.

Seulgi got the message and laughed, "I forgot, she is Bae Joohyun. One of the best physicians in Hanyang" She patted the older one's shoulder, "She is the only daughter of Chief State Councilor"

'It is amazing how my father is also popular at this living. Well, he is Chief Presidential Secretary there though'

Then Seulgi went beside Chanyeol, "This Park Chanyeol, an Aristocrat. His Father is the Minister of Justice"

Joohyun bow at him once again. By his pleasing appearance, the fancy robe proves that Chanyeol is a nobleman

"He is Baekhyun Hyung and this little lady here is Minjeong, she's like a sister to me" Seulgi introduced them to Joohyun

Baekhyun and Minjeong immediately bow their heads to Joohyun as a respect

"We apologize for our behavior, Milady. We deserve to get flog but just don't include her, she's just 16 years old. Just flog me" Baekhyun bow his head repeatedly

Joohyun looked at Seulgi with confusion in her eyes.

Seulgi held Baekhyun to stop him, "It's okay, she has a heart. Right, My Lady?" She turns her gaze to Joohyun

With hesitation, Joohyun nodded her head. Then, she felt someone tugging the hem of her upper robe

"Are you my orabeoni's lover?" Minjeong asked innocently

Seulgi's eyes widened as her gaze met Joohyun's, both surprised with Minjeong's statement

Chanyeol just let out a soft chuckles

Baekhyun immediately covered the kid's mouth, "I apologize again, My Lady. She is just really a straightforward kid" he apologized and discreetly gave Minjeong a glare

Joohyun chuckled awkwardly, "It's okay. She is just a kid" she looked at Minjeong and patted the kid's head

"Do you want to eat gukbap? You should come with us"

Once again, Seulgi's eyes widened in surprise with Joohyun's statement

"H-hey-"

"Come on, it's your so-called brother treat" she smiled at both of them

Baekhyun looked at Seulgi's dismayed face and was about to refuse Joohyun when Minjeong held Joohyun's hand

"Is it okay if they could come with us?" Joohyun smi
