While in the imperial city, Duduel met with Brue, who was still under his vow of silence. When they met, Brue gestured his greetings. "brue" duduel greeted warmly. "how is my brother?" brue signed. duduel sighed and brue knew the news was not good. "he is losing his way" he answered sadly. "i fear that power and luxury has gone to his head. he has forgotten the people. brue signalled his denial with his hands. duduel patted his shoulder. "i hope you are right, otherwise this general kyung dae seung may take his place as the one who achieves the great enterprise.

Myong Jong waited for Chung Chong Bu to arrive. He was not looking forward to what he had to do. When he finally arrived, the emperor greeted his imperial guardian with a smile which Chung returned. "Hwang Sang Bae Ha, how may i serve you? he asked. Myong Jong pulled some rice paper envelopes from his robes and handed them to Chung who looked confused until he realized what they were. "Bae Ha, why are you returning my lands? They were a gift to you." "I am afraid that I cannot grant permission for Princess Su An to be married to Kyun" he explained apologetically. "I am sorry." Chung was about to protest but Myong jong did not want to argue this point so he excused himself saying, "I have things I must do now. That is all." Chung Chong Bu was left holding his land titles, angry and confused

Chung Chong Bu returned to his estate and sought out his son. Sitting him down, he informed Kyun of the emperor's decision. At this news, Kyun's upper lip curled in a sneer. "Don't worry, father", he assured. "The emperor will give us what we want. I'll see to it." He stood up and left - he had a party to plan...

Kyung Dae Seung stood in front of the Empress Dowager's chamber waiting to be announced. Her summons had appeared out of nowhere for him and he wondered what it was that she wished to see him about. Escort Choe informed the Empress of his arrival and ushered Kyung inside the sliding doors. Entering, Kyung bowed deeply to the empress who offered him a seat across the table from her. "Kyung Jang Goon," she began, "thank you for coming to see me at such short notice." The young general inclined his head towards her and bowed. "How may I be of service to you, Dae Woo Bae Ha?" The Empress smiled at him - such an upright man. "Kyung Jang goon, you have been a faithful and loyal servant to the imperial family and we are eternally grateful for your fealty. You are a credit to your clan." "I am unworthy of such high praise, Dae Woo Bae Ha," he said uncomfortably. "Will you grant this old woman a great favor?" she asked him. "Please, ask me anything, majesty," Kyung answered without hesitation. "We are in need of men such as yourself at court and we are confident that your continued presence here would only benefit the people even further." She paused for a breath and continued, "Would you grant me the request of becoming Princess Su An's husband?" The general had to sit back for a moment as he was not sure that he had heard the empress correctly.

"Dae Woo Bae Ha," Kyung managed after he had taken a moment, "I am not sure that I heard you correctly-" The empress dowager told him, "I do not expect an answer now, and please take some time to think about it. But you would allow an old woman to die very happy if you would grant me this request." Kyung stood up and bowed. "I will consider your request, empress" he said somewhat unsteadily. With that, he took his leave.

As the general descended the steps leading to the empress' chamber, his head still reeling from her request, Princess Su An ran to meet him. Though he liked the princess well enough, she was the last person on earth that he wanted to see at that moment... "Kyung Jang Goon!" she cried. "I heard what my grandmother asked you!" she could barely hide the elation in her voice. Her smile faded slightly as she noticed that Kyung Dae Seung did not seem to match her enthusiasm, refusing to even look her in the face. "Jang Goon? what is wrong?" Kyung kept his eyes at her feet. "I...I am afraid I require time to consider the empress' request. Please excuse me-" He bowed and tried to walk past the princess, but she called out after him. "Is it so repulsive to you? The idea of being wed to me?" Out of respect for the princess, the general turned to face her and said softly, "Please do not take my reluctance as a reflection on yourself, highness. My heart is...currently occupied by another." Su An felt her heart break in a million pieces to hear this. "Who...is she?" she could not help asking. "A peasant girl" was the polite reply. Bowing again, Kyung walked out of her presence

When Kyung Dae Seung had returned to his estate, Lieutenant Kim asked to see him. "Jang Goon," he asked with concern. "What is wrong?" With a sigh, he replied, "The empress has asked me to be the princess' husband." They were both interrupted by the sound of a crash outside. Lieutenant Kim opened the door to the general's study to see Soran picking up the pieces of a teacup she had dropped. She kept her eyes averted as she cleaned up the accident. Returning inside, Kim asked his master, "What do you intend to do?" "I do not know" he answered honestly. "If it is the empress' will I have no choice, but I would prefer not to wed the princess." Outside, Soran's heart sang as she wiped the tea off the floor. All she could do now was pray that the general would find an excuse to refuse the empress' request.
