Yeon-woo’s letter to king lee hwon :

(the letter she wrote when she was 13)

“Your Majesty, I exhausted all my strength to write this last letter for you, may be you can see it, or may be you won’t see it, just let it stay here, it doesn’t matter. After writing this letter, father will bring over the drug, and I afraid that I will part with Your Majesty in this life. Originally I thought I would never see Your Majesty before leaving the palace, but able to meet you for one last time is already my greatest happiness. Please do not blame yourself, the thing between Your Majesty and me, is enough for me to recall this whole life. Please forget me, I will use my remaining days of life to pray everyday, praying that Your Majesty is healthy, eternal peace, everlasting imperial king.”

or

“Crown Prince, I gather the last of my strength to leave this letter. I do not know if it will cause trouble or even if it will reach you, but I write this anyway. Before I leave, even only through the things I have learned from you, I was very happy. But now you must stop blaming yourself, and think of me as a memory. My father will bring me medicine soon. Then I will no longer be able to see you. You must forget me, and years later become a good and wise king.”
