Sen bends down fast, “Your majesty, please forgive me! I must listen to my master and what she orders me. If you really want to know all the truth, you must go to ask Zhuge and your brother. I’m sorry.”
“Get out!” Sung sighs. Sen walks out, heads down.
Sung sits back to his table, throwing all the letters he wrote to Wendy away to the air! He is shaking and beginning to hate all people around who hided things from, Zhuge, Zack and Sen… Why they can’t understand his heart?! He closes his eyes and all those memories between Wendy and him run like a romantic movie in his head… Their love, deep love, only a true romantic can tell.
Zack goes home very late tonight, “Your majesty, Prince Sung came here and waiting for you.” One servant reports by.
“When??”
“One hour ago…”
Zack walks to him, feeling tense, why he comes all of a sudden? Maybe?
Sung sits on a chair, waiting for him. Zack takes a deep breath then walks towards him. “Brother, why you didn’t tell me ahead? Sorry I let you wait for so long…” Sung looks at him, “Can we talk privately?” Zack has a semi pause and nods, he asks his people to close the door behind. They sit opposite to each other, no one talks, an awkward silent drops by.
“Brother, do you remember our little brother Bob?” Sung remarks first, breaks the silence.
“Yes, I hear his crying every night in my dream.”
“Me too, I feel sad for him, we three of us, now just two of us… He should stay here with us today.”
“Sorry, brother, for what I did before. I…” Zack tries to tell something, he feels tonight may be the right moment to share the secret.
Sung stares at him, “He died because of our father. He did nothing wrong, but our father killed him. I used to think he died from the heart attack… He was such a good boy, very innocent and sweet, very talented at martial arts, but our father said he was interrupted his position, so he killed him. So ridiculous! He was born to dumb, how could he have that power to take that position?! That’s nonsense!”
Zack sighs, he agrees everything what Sung says. Every time they think of him, Bob, they feel sorry. He was just sixteen that year, and murdered by his father. Beside, he was innocent, pure like an angel. No one liked him all because of his disadvantage of intelligence. No one paid attention to him until he’s sixteen, a fortune teller came to visit the King. He said Bob was special and he was dangerous for the King’s position. That’s how the King planned to kill him.
Bob was very smart at martial arts, though he was dumb with other stuff. He always a fast learner than Sung and Zack.
