It was dark and his face was cold. The wind outside the broken carriage howled. 487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDErs8MYmgV
“You are so brave! It didn’t know you could be so brave!”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6JuzGnJiE
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. 487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQTcDWP49G
“Mommy…are you praying?”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3mMvIX8nT
Then there was the sound of horses galloping and men shouting.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G8S4fJI0k
“Consort Yuko!”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB63G7JsnKy
“Yes…we are here!” the young prince heard his mother answer.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeqkvC30lC
“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.”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BiDnlVdrS
Prince Yoshi felt the strange man’s hands on this waist.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LpS4lvAMI
“No…”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dgg8bsY2g
His mother placed her mouth against one of his ears.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kXuGDtS9f
“Shh. We will only be separated for a short while my darling. I will be brave if you will!”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsMKttawib
“Mommy…”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInhnY7GMET
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8YO1qCSpV
“Good evening, your highness. I am Constable Han. I will help get you to safety tonight. First, allow me to strap you on…”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrLlepWziM
“Let me assist you, Han,” Captain Lee said as he handed Consort Yuko his fur-trimmed cape.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSXNUdIrB8
Prince Yoshi was then swaddled on to Constable Han by Captain Lee. 487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04olUb0UBY
“How old are you now, your highness?” Captain Lee inquired as he wrapped up the young prince.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfXgYVgaVG
“Four!”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD2MPWVc95
“My, my. I don’t remember being as brave as you when I was four!”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oXXeJD3ha
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!”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB26zIEUTW
Prince Yoshi found himself getting unwrapped from Constable Han by another strange man named Mr. Seo.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0ghySdDfY
“Be careful…my back is a little sore,” Constable Han complained.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHpQYdW6mv
Mr. Seo took Prince Yoshi off the horse and planted the child in his mother’s arms.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzx1BnFUPU
“Oh, you were so brave! It didn’t know you could be so brave!” his mother exclaimed as she rained kisses on his cheeks.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDApLjHwt2
“Consort Yuko!” A voice boomed out.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgLzwyTRz3
His mother’s head raised and turned toward the voice.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr76lrXSg2
“Minister Park…thank you for your hospitality.”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8N2UY33Aa
“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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeK6OAhIhf
“Come, come. It is chilly out here. Let’s get you and Prince Yoshi warm, Consort Yuko…”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsAyeM9A5u
His mother carried him to the main hall and put him down.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18dYBodrOx
“We will be sleeping at Minister Park’s home tonight, my little prince…”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPlIHZmfrl
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrTuGtrSOJ
“Consort Yuko, I would like to offer a warm blanket for his highness Prince Yoshi.”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox3zfwvz9m
“My…what a precocious child. My daughter is about your age. What is your name?”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGrHmUcbd1
“My name is Chaeyoung, Consort Yuko. The Foreign Minister is my grandfather.”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVqJZqGbbl
“Prince Yoshi will accept your offer, Miss Chaeyoung.”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv28wirMmEK
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFf172oIvq
“Isn’t this nice?” His mother asked him. His eyes finally turned to his mother.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEwuWL4VlQ
“Yes…”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJGnMAG69R
His eyes turned back to Chaeyoung. “Thank you.”
“The prince was absolutely adorable!”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DA90jCGDt
Chaeyoung’s aunt was gushing about little Prince Yoshi the following morning at breakfast.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNDN12kOiS
“He’s a half-breed,” Chaeyoung heard her mother say.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaDGqWWmVs
“Omo…watch your tongue! Your daughter is listening.”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xglDRNJBQ
“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.”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw4FWpHgqX
Chaeyoung was standing in front of Prince Yoshi as his mother spoke to her grandfather.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugvaAKLvpF
“Open up your hands.”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3DsYN2JaS
“Why?”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpnqWmn1WX
“I have something for you.”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqb5h01Kbt
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqGJYr02v3
“What is it?”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOsxg9piPa
“It’s an owl.”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lkn96R3NL
“What’s an owl?487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqefLak2n5Q
“It’s a bird that flies around at night hunting little rodents.”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqpZfSVUjZ
“Oh.” The prince studied the fabric creature in his hands. “Did you make it?”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBO3Gh3UJ3
“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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn4pK7nqW6
“Chaeyoung! Why are you not properly addressing Prince Yoshi?”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrcZe4fqqB
Chaeyoung’s mother grabbed her by the wrist.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps0ar1kEP7
“I apologize greatly, your highness.”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoZC6a4l7r
Prince Yoshi just stared at the woman in confusion. The woman was wearing a sash that looked like it belonged on his owl.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa8AgI2D1l
His mother was in tears. Her sadness was suddenly replaced with curiosity.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA4pm8lecR
“Who gave you that?”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQAaVPwL9Y
“What, Mommy?”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0D4qj1kLf
“That. The owl…”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrfhA59hhN
“Chaeyoung gave me Hooty.”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sfD3wGiSY
His mother laughed while wiping at her face, “Hooty?”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs06KxaEJn
“Hooty doesn’t like it when you’re sad.”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfegR1GZgv
His mother took him in her arms and hugged him.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cEPyXB8ml
“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?”487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gJrYMpLAE
