It was dark and his face was cold. The wind outside the broken carriage howled. 450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2999FN7EK
“You are so brave! It didn’t know you could be so brave!”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfGESz7y8v
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. 450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjQugheJK5
“Mommy…are you praying?”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYUCt7M0pq
Then there was the sound of horses galloping and men shouting.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknEyOYL2jS
“Consort Yuko!”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg2wv7HPwJ
“Yes…we are here!” the young prince heard his mother answer.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd75nGVilv8
“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.”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOKBrgLB0T
Prince Yoshi felt the strange man’s hands on this waist.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUNnBRPKwl
“No…”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzygiEUwqA
His mother placed her mouth against one of his ears.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0lbfX4oPT
“Shh. We will only be separated for a short while my darling. I will be brave if you will!”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo6wEk6VI8
“Mommy…”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMkhSmxPpA
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.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKlYXQrths
“Good evening, your highness. I am Constable Han. I will help get you to safety tonight. First, allow me to strap you on…”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMGMW27n2N
“Let me assist you, Han,” Captain Lee said as he handed Consort Yuko his fur-trimmed cape.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF0NprCjAA
Prince Yoshi was then swaddled on to Constable Han by Captain Lee. 450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEejBs37Me
“How old are you now, your highness?” Captain Lee inquired as he wrapped up the young prince.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuopKmxEUi9
“Four!”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmLtGum8Ua
“My, my. I don’t remember being as brave as you when I was four!”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1NhuSh2DL
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!”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AQsUNa7L0
Prince Yoshi found himself getting unwrapped from Constable Han by another strange man named Mr. Seo.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap7iOi8Sbk
“Be careful…my back is a little sore,” Constable Han complained.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXKs3BiwZI
Mr. Seo took Prince Yoshi off the horse and planted the child in his mother’s arms.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09ncfEsr2O
“Oh, you were so brave! It didn’t know you could be so brave!” his mother exclaimed as she rained kisses on his cheeks.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG29lgFM7pi
“Consort Yuko!” A voice boomed out.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinA7DNeI5e
His mother’s head raised and turned toward the voice.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUxfEk03pE
“Minister Park…thank you for your hospitality.”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrjXFD5n54
“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.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kTEHOtJen
“Come, come. It is chilly out here. Let’s get you and Prince Yoshi warm, Consort Yuko…”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdIwA3GEzC
His mother carried him to the main hall and put him down.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGTOuTuBbp
“We will be sleeping at Minister Park’s home tonight, my little prince…”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ws3SP6nmA
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.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bu8v7dXhO
“Consort Yuko, I would like to offer a warm blanket for his highness Prince Yoshi.”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OMitdKR4T
“My…what a precocious child. My daughter is about your age. What is your name?”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxncLfVHc6
“My name is Chaeyoung, Consort Yuko. The Foreign Minister is my grandfather.”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbSkrB78bV
“Prince Yoshi will accept your offer, Miss Chaeyoung.”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcZSt9OOAb
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.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZfwg6OHCA
“Isn’t this nice?” His mother asked him. His eyes finally turned to his mother.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnVTa6ePFf
“Yes…”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewSsl44HSD
His eyes turned back to Chaeyoung. “Thank you.”
“The prince was absolutely adorable!”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHO1PlTTlt
Chaeyoung’s aunt was gushing about little Prince Yoshi the following morning at breakfast.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GgdWVrbss
“He’s a half-breed,” Chaeyoung heard her mother say.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTzjFFJUC3
“Omo…watch your tongue! Your daughter is listening.”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfaMqzPdX8
“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.”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLq8Onnt10
Chaeyoung was standing in front of Prince Yoshi as his mother spoke to her grandfather.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDGY8cXort
“Open up your hands.”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vsf30RVmE
“Why?”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL7pVxCS5B
“I have something for you.”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBESzsVjma
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.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcTJeelE8w
“What is it?”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmxlM6htWl
“It’s an owl.”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KwiKnDtk9
“What’s an owl?450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEkipZvKmV
“It’s a bird that flies around at night hunting little rodents.”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4EBeCwxTZ
“Oh.” The prince studied the fabric creature in his hands. “Did you make it?”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO591VbNFJ
“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.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWPzIlx2YM
“Chaeyoung! Why are you not properly addressing Prince Yoshi?”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFqymx0Vao
Chaeyoung’s mother grabbed her by the wrist.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YrwUh1W7w
“I apologize greatly, your highness.”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaEOySSOtM
Prince Yoshi just stared at the woman in confusion. The woman was wearing a sash that looked like it belonged on his owl.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmWxUzmwMy
His mother was in tears. Her sadness was suddenly replaced with curiosity.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynDnaSF7ye
“Who gave you that?”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A4GTLDxRi
“What, Mommy?”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sX18MjRT0
“That. The owl…”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR4ioVAl54
“Chaeyoung gave me Hooty.”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1U52rrqbJ
His mother laughed while wiping at her face, “Hooty?”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCup2Gqejot
“Hooty doesn’t like it when you’re sad.”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m3fV8MoLJ
His mother took him in her arms and hugged him.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwSKzcRy9z
“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?”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKKDwNYyNC
