It was dark and his face was cold. The wind outside the broken carriage howled. 418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYefkSpG2bG
“You are so brave! It didn’t know you could be so brave!”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2DtsB38x3
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. 418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUH0KdehyO
“Mommy…are you praying?”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDiap1bks7
Then there was the sound of horses galloping and men shouting.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3CJ9dlMPk
“Consort Yuko!”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlZkYkAW2I
“Yes…we are here!” the young prince heard his mother answer.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkffF2vT1w
“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.”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Beo4uKVKE
Prince Yoshi felt the strange man’s hands on this waist.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8LX4PIuEQ
“No…”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKVGebNWMl
His mother placed her mouth against one of his ears.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gEnZU3IhP
“Shh. We will only be separated for a short while my darling. I will be brave if you will!”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lEHRNLeVS
“Mommy…”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtffYOqPM0
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRt1weAFaP
“Good evening, your highness. I am Constable Han. I will help get you to safety tonight. First, allow me to strap you on…”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgETFT8Bnsm
“Let me assist you, Han,” Captain Lee said as he handed Consort Yuko his fur-trimmed cape.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBhoUKWsHz
Prince Yoshi was then swaddled on to Constable Han by Captain Lee. 418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta1261Ej30
“How old are you now, your highness?” Captain Lee inquired as he wrapped up the young prince.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWuue9Uzg3
“Four!”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ieBorUhv1
“My, my. I don’t remember being as brave as you when I was four!”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJJMnq3fzi
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!”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfP089uzKK
Prince Yoshi found himself getting unwrapped from Constable Han by another strange man named Mr. Seo.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89WocQ54AD
“Be careful…my back is a little sore,” Constable Han complained.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0hNg0mt78
Mr. Seo took Prince Yoshi off the horse and planted the child in his mother’s arms.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPe2GwGcgI
“Oh, you were so brave! It didn’t know you could be so brave!” his mother exclaimed as she rained kisses on his cheeks.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ0bsv5GWq
“Consort Yuko!” A voice boomed out.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZJHXhRxPb
His mother’s head raised and turned toward the voice.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqHStX4wrj
“Minister Park…thank you for your hospitality.”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILAVBd9cg9
“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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHBGi7QO47
“Come, come. It is chilly out here. Let’s get you and Prince Yoshi warm, Consort Yuko…”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWTVVSHEOp
His mother carried him to the main hall and put him down.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElpebXAIIC
“We will be sleeping at Minister Park’s home tonight, my little prince…”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz2ZT4FIpk
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDyFt44a33
“Consort Yuko, I would like to offer a warm blanket for his highness Prince Yoshi.”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTxKB6pAZj
“My…what a precocious child. My daughter is about your age. What is your name?”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG92TT8Rn9
“My name is Chaeyoung, Consort Yuko. The Foreign Minister is my grandfather.”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6nIHKQTdO
“Prince Yoshi will accept your offer, Miss Chaeyoung.”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYgX1BFx27
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlakWMR3tnw
“Isn’t this nice?” His mother asked him. His eyes finally turned to his mother.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKtq3dzjVk
“Yes…”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8hXJQRHFK
His eyes turned back to Chaeyoung. “Thank you.”
“The prince was absolutely adorable!”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3ft5cLhGa
Chaeyoung’s aunt was gushing about little Prince Yoshi the following morning at breakfast.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaJs2mM240
“He’s a half-breed,” Chaeyoung heard her mother say.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40aMRmQz9C
“Omo…watch your tongue! Your daughter is listening.”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzonYRRnzHW
“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.”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSYS8ne0l7
Chaeyoung was standing in front of Prince Yoshi as his mother spoke to her grandfather.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmitX1NahX
“Open up your hands.”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD6VNmNDsl
“Why?”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGU1BJRPkJ
“I have something for you.”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlVmv6ukyG
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjvly3l26N
“What is it?”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZE16weimK
“It’s an owl.”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ0nBYruQo
“What’s an owl?418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStrjrBLpjS
“It’s a bird that flies around at night hunting little rodents.”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56uNURqx8L
“Oh.” The prince studied the fabric creature in his hands. “Did you make it?”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBCB91fUUJ
“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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA92PPOMNxG
“Chaeyoung! Why are you not properly addressing Prince Yoshi?”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJPESLljPw
Chaeyoung’s mother grabbed her by the wrist.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr96PN7BaUC
“I apologize greatly, your highness.”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8S8OcTK0I
Prince Yoshi just stared at the woman in confusion. The woman was wearing a sash that looked like it belonged on his owl.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrPHNJkiA2
His mother was in tears. Her sadness was suddenly replaced with curiosity.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4TxkDsjWg
“Who gave you that?”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv8SStalZb
“What, Mommy?”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhFVdD9RZm
“That. The owl…”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6J6BviH6e
“Chaeyoung gave me Hooty.”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sm4Iay3Nv
His mother laughed while wiping at her face, “Hooty?”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLmjFOauaF
“Hooty doesn’t like it when you’re sad.”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiMNBkTQvi
His mother took him in her arms and hugged him.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXhii5UcNX
“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?”418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST5523DP0e
