“By the way, may I have your name, Prince?”

At her question, he was suddenly embarrassed and looked around.

Fortunately, there was only he and Woorum here. When she mentioned ‘Prince,’ she clearly referred to him. So, if someone with an evil intention had overheard this, both of them would have run into big trouble. That was the sorry state of the imperial family of the Mok Kingdom.

Ruhae hastily corrected her misunderstanding.

“I’m not a prince. I’m just one of the imperial family members.”

When he shook his hands, Woorum realized her mistake and hid her face again with her sleeves. She looked as if she were a child.

With a gentle smile he opened his mouth, “They call me Uljin Yu. Yu means ‘only,’ ‘Ul’ means a bird and ‘Jin’ means ‘save.’ Interesting, isn’t it?”

“Oh, I see. Then, does your name mean ‘saving a bird’?”

“Yeah, that’s right. It means ‘saving a bird. It’s a funny name.”

“Well, I think your name has great significance in that it means saving somebody. It’s far from funny. By the way, I hear they don’t analyze the meaning of one’s surname. Is that true?”

As if she was curious about it, Woorum asked. She asked many questions.

Standing with a blank face for a minute, he gave her a gentle smile. Likely, she thought that when he told her about his name Uljin Yu, she thought that his last name was Yu and his given name was Uljin. In fact, he told her that he was a member of the imperial family of the Mok Kingdom, but didn’t mention the surname of the royal family ‘Danmok,’ which caused her to misunderstand again.

He was about to correct her but stopped because he wanted to pull a prank. When he just kept smiling, Woorum tilted her head to one side and said, “Oh, my god, it’s my mistake…”

“I won’t tell anybody about this, so don’t worry.”

“Oh, thanks.”

He looked at her with a gentle smile, reassuring her that she didn’t have to worry. He heard she came of age, but she looked much younger. How could such a young lady be the Crown Princess?

Crown Princess.

At that moment, he felt a sting in his heart, a sharp pain.

His face suddenly hardened.

“What the heck is this? Why?”

He put his hand on his heart. A moment ago, he felt a sharp pain in that spot.

“Are you okay?” she asked with a worried look.

When he suddenly had a gloomy expression, after smiling and chatting pleasantly with her until a moment ago, Woorum became worried about him. He looked at her with a blank face. Her eyes were wobbling. She couldn’t avoid his eyes.

Both of them felt awkward when their eyes met for a moment, but when he turned his eyes away, she could also feel relaxed.

“Let me escort you to your room. Please follow me,” said he with a rigid voice.

He stood up first and walked away. Though she tried to stand up and follow him, she found her legs wobbly. When he couldn’t hear her footsteps behind, he turned back.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Uljin Yu, my legs are…” she said feebly in a trembling voice.

“Were you injured?”

As she was sitting quietly while she was talking with him, so there was no possibility that she was injured. So, he quickly came to her, surprised at her trembling voice.

“I’m alright, but I can’t stand up because I can’t give strength to my legs.”

“I’m relieved to hear that you were not wounded. Please excuse me for a minute.

Even before she finished her stumbling words, he lifted her up in his arms.

“Good heavens!”
