It was dark and his face was cold. The wind outside the broken carriage howled. 436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj64A1DvFcp
“You are so brave! It didn’t know you could be so brave!”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH2mcdVc8h
The toddler prince smiled through his chattering teeth and looked up to his mother’s round face as she spoke. Her arms were around him and she rubbed his little arms to keep him warm. She planted a kiss on his forehead. She then started whispering something which he could not make out. 436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0diinhSvsB
“Mommy…are you praying?”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenXTsSuhYi
Then there was the sound of horses galloping and men shouting.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76kjaVClVj
“Consort Yuko!”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnodOnTlo2
“Yes…we are here!” the young prince heard his mother answer.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLY6as0v5N
“I am Captain Lee. You will be riding with me, madam,” A strapping man on his horse said after approaching the carriage window. “Prince Yoshi will be riding with Constable Han.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZgYCEb76m
Prince Yoshi felt the strange man’s hands on this waist.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzP1ntVqpm
“No…”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoM62OeTQr
His mother placed her mouth against one of his ears.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxnTumtPyA
“Shh. We will only be separated for a short while my darling. I will be brave if you will!”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR0TvDoSBM
“Mommy…”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJPJrJfQpP
Prince Yoshi felt himself being pried away by Captain Lee and then handed over to a barrel-chested man. The barrel-chested man nodded his head in a slight bow.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ395uRsgaj0
“Good evening, your highness. I am Constable Han. I will help get you to safety tonight. First, allow me to strap you on…”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUZMSADram
“Let me assist you, Han,” Captain Lee said as he handed Consort Yuko his fur-trimmed cape.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoC3knFSDE
Prince Yoshi was then swaddled on to Constable Han by Captain Lee. 436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVwdinJAwG
“How old are you now, your highness?” Captain Lee inquired as he wrapped up the young prince.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1SGh0Ayrt
“Four!”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjukpeZVDQc
“My, my. I don’t remember being as brave as you when I was four!”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O8DVENxcE
The next thing Prince Yoshi remembered was riding into the darkness swaddled on to Constable Lee’s back.
“I will be forever grateful to you, Captain Lee. I am sure the King will reward you and all your men!”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j4WaYS9MX
Prince Yoshi found himself getting unwrapped from Constable Han by another strange man named Mr. Seo.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNAwYUg7vF
“Be careful…my back is a little sore,” Constable Han complained.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYPWKRHNFy
Mr. Seo took Prince Yoshi off the horse and planted the child in his mother’s arms.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQBXhDI6bk
“Oh, you were so brave! It didn’t know you could be so brave!” his mother exclaimed as she rained kisses on his cheeks.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBZ6pzebkx
“Consort Yuko!” A voice boomed out.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfupVuPfll
His mother’s head raised and turned toward the voice.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QYQPvVpsm
“Minister Park…thank you for your hospitality.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRoZTBK91f
“It is my duty and honor, Consort Yuko,” Prince Yoshi saw an older man bow to his mother. He had already seen this person’s face at court previously.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TH6HYIsui
“Come, come. It is chilly out here. Let’s get you and Prince Yoshi warm, Consort Yuko…”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVKxd1iQBC
His mother carried him to the main hall and put him down.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriEI38qtkp
“We will be sleeping at Minister Park’s home tonight, my little prince…”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIIpZ9sZNl
Suddenly a young girl of about six or seven years of age approached them. She had a plush fur blanket with her. She smiled and bowed.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr1BdgvijH
“Consort Yuko, I would like to offer a warm blanket for his highness Prince Yoshi.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk0RvSUXTn
“My…what a precocious child. My daughter is about your age. What is your name?”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyd3SceS8F
“My name is Chaeyoung, Consort Yuko. The Foreign Minister is my grandfather.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBADxpbTKd
“Prince Yoshi will accept your offer, Miss Chaeyoung.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3dNnhDBqF
The little royal toddler was staring at her. He was very cute. Like a doll. She stepped up behind him and placed the blanket on his shoulders. His mother kneeled down and wrapped the blanket around him. He continued staring at Chaeyoung.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAOszVASTZ
“Isn’t this nice?” His mother asked him. His eyes finally turned to his mother.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2j4xsTqUv
“Yes…”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpfX5P52Us
His eyes turned back to Chaeyoung. “Thank you.”
“The prince was absolutely adorable!”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPlo8rlfOL
Chaeyoung’s aunt was gushing about little Prince Yoshi the following morning at breakfast.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWlXtli3zt
“He’s a half-breed,” Chaeyoung heard her mother say.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGf7Hs9ZEc
“Omo…watch your tongue! Your daughter is listening.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRZKNJP3Ug
“Chaeyoung is a good girl. She knows not to say too much.”
“I apologize, but we must make haste. My father’s health was reported to be quickly deteriorating.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF3YPhQPSG
Chaeyoung was standing in front of Prince Yoshi as his mother spoke to her grandfather.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9xW7DpMsm
“Open up your hands.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHZ3G7bdlY
“Why?”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqG8RtzUq2
“I have something for you.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkbuK0sGyO
Prince Yoshi opened up his hands and raised them toward Chaeyoung. She quickly placed a toy in his palms. It was an owl made of blue and white silk scraps.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4lKz5SmF5
“What is it?”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWdGOi2JXF
“It’s an owl.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviMBp6HfHh
“What’s an owl?436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjZyqxGXO5
“It’s a bird that flies around at night hunting little rodents.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhyioYBaGv
“Oh.” The prince studied the fabric creature in his hands. “Did you make it?”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnmfsudY1u
“No. My governess did. She just finished it this morning. She said I should give it to you. It’s made from the leftover silk they used to make a new hanbok for my mom.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgVSYydpSX
“Chaeyoung! Why are you not properly addressing Prince Yoshi?”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qIuLVfa7Q
Chaeyoung’s mother grabbed her by the wrist.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLC9Fxmy0x
“I apologize greatly, your highness.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA1kwhxQKl
Prince Yoshi just stared at the woman in confusion. The woman was wearing a sash that looked like it belonged on his owl.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFBuwbwvdR
His mother was in tears. Her sadness was suddenly replaced with curiosity.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD3WsoQxLO
“Who gave you that?”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugzxk8wsHz
“What, Mommy?”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNaA731Awj
“That. The owl…”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBqmrToVEd
“Chaeyoung gave me Hooty.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lwQl6qjeo
His mother laughed while wiping at her face, “Hooty?”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrH8oeGkAi
“Hooty doesn’t like it when you’re sad.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYal55ImHVO
His mother took him in her arms and hugged him.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd56mfT9gn
“I must write to Chaeyoung then and thank her for Hooty,” his mother said stroking his hair. “Chaeyoung was Minister Park’s grand daughter, right?”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7f9D0rabx
