CONCUBINE LEE SEO HWA RESIDENCE.
Concubine Seo Hwa
Father, Welcome. *she bows her head as her father sat down in front of her*
General Lee
Seo Hwa, How was your day?
Concubine Seo Hwa
It was great, father.
Concubine Seo Hwa
*turns to her maid*
Concubine Seo Hwa
Bi Ryul, Go and bring tea for my father*
Bi Ryul -maid
Yes, Your Highness. *bows and leave*
Concubine Seo Hwa
*curiously, she looks at the child standing beside her father*
Wol Ryung
*his head bowed down as he was still standing in silence*
Concubine Seo Hwa
Father, who is he? *she asked*
General Lee
This is Wol Ryung. I found him beaten and unconscious near Samo river. So I took him in.
General Lee
*turns to Wol Ryung*
General Lee
Wol Ryung, Say your greetings to her highness.
Wol Ryung
*he knelt down and bowed his head to the ground*
Wol Ryung
I am Wol Ryung, Your Highness.
Concubine Seo Hwa
*smiles*
Concubine Seo Hwa
Nice to meet you, Wol Ryung. Stand up and have your seat. *she gently offered*
Concubine Seo Hwa
How old are you, child?
Wol Ryung
I am ten year old, Your Highness.
Concubine Seo Hwa
Ten? Where are your parents?
Wol Ryung
They are no more, Your Highness. *he sadly said*
Concubine Seo Hwa
Oh, I am sorry to hear that.
Wol Ryung
Thank you, Your Highness.
Concubine Seo Hwa
*turns to her father*
Concubine Seo Hwa
Father, Can I have him here with me?
General Lee
No. Must you always covet what are mine?
Concubine Seo Hwa
Father, he is just a kid. And He will be much taken care of in my place.
General Lee
No, He is mine.
Concubine Seo Hwa
Father, please.
General Lee
*took a long glance at Wol Ryung*
General Lee
He will turn out to be a great warrior if he is with me. So, no.
Concubine Seo Hwa
I will also train him to be a better one.
Concubine Seo Hwa
And besides if I am to give birth to a female child, I will have someone to watch over her.
General Lee
Don't say that again. You are not going to have a female child.
General Lee
It will be a male child and he shall be the next king.
General Lee
And also a strong warrior like you.
Concubine Seo Hwa
Father, I am not fighting for the throne. I just want my child either male or female and I to be safe.
Concubine Seo Hwa
And also live long with his majesty.
General Lee
Seo Hwa. *he called her name as he gently touched her hands*
General Lee
All I could ever want was to see my grandson on the throne and we have to make that happen.
Concubine Seo Hwa
*went silent as she didn't want to argue with her father*
General Lee
Please, I am begging you. Make me the Grandfather of a king.
Concubine Seo Hwa
*silent*
Bi Ryul -maid
My Lord, Your tea is here. *she said and stretched the cup of tea to General Lee*
General Lee
*Furious as her daughter wasn't saying anything*
General Lee
Bi Ryul, never mind. I am on my way going. *he said and stood up*
General Lee
*turns to Wol Ryung*
General Lee
Wol Ryung, stay here with her highness and take care of her.
Wol Ryung
Yes, My Lord. *bows in reply*
General Lee
*turns to her daughter*
General Lee
I will be going.
Concubine Seo Hwa
Father, I am sorry.
General Lee
Your decisions are always final. But I still hope that you wake up.
General Lee
I will come to visit again when I have the time.
General Lee
*turns to leave*
Concubine Seo Hwa
Bi Ryul, see my father off.
Bi Ryul -maid
Yes, Your Highness.
Bi Ryul -maid
*she followed him*
