Chapter 7 - CHAPTER 7

No matter where you live, no matter how much you may have earned, a mother will always remain a mother. The next day Jae's mother left her daughter under the care of Mi-ra and went to see the old shaman. "You've arrived really late, I had been waiting for you. After All, karma follows you wherever you go, and the one that is after is something that has been waiting for her soul since many lives", said the old man.

The park family had been shamans for many years. Some had been granted the gift to heal, while some with vision, however the old Mr. Park was the only one who had been gifted with both. " Today I stand before you not as an arrogant young lady but as a poor mother who wants to save her only child", said Yuna. "That year also someone begged me and I will again repeat what I had said before. THE SOUL PCT IS NOT SOMETHING WE HUMANS SHOULD INTERVENE".

YEAR 1305 (KINGDOM OF GORYEO)

"Your Majesty, please be merciful Lady Seon has never betrayed you not even once, please have mercy", begged the handmaiden." Has remained loyal? How dare you? Guards, my Concubine has failed to teach her handmaiden and as the King (Wang) I order her to be taught well in the torture chamber", declared Sunjae.

His concubine Lady Seon was his fiancé who was supposed to be his queen but as soon as the prince got his throne, he got into a marriage alliance with the neighboring kingdom and demoted the then Prince Consort into the Concubine of fifth rank. The Prince Consort (Lady Seon) understood very well that she was nothing more than a pawn, but she had no choice as even her family was benefitting. "No one asked for her opinion when she was made a crown princess, and no one asked about how she felt when her title was taken. Like an obedient daughter she did what her father ordered and like an obedient wife she accepted what her husband gave. The following week her father was replaced from the post of a Senator and her brother was framed for colluding with the crown prince to bring down the throne. Lady Seon on the other hand was accused of helping her brother and to make matters worse she was seven months long. The whole family was to be executed along with the Concubine with her child. This decision caused an uproar in the kingdom and not long after Lady Seon was accused of having an affair with the crown prince. As soon as the verdict was passed, Lady Seon went on labor, but the King refused her any help. Her handmaiden who had been loyal to her couldn't stand this treatment and went to seek justice. After the King's decree the handmaiden was tortured to death. "My lady, this is a medicinal tonic sent by His Majesty for you to replenish your health. Please, drink it", said the King's midwife. Lady Seon, who had never feared anything, started panicking as soon as she saw the tonic. "Return it back". Said a feeble voice who still wanted to survive for the baby in her womb. "The Lady seems very weak, help her", instructed the midwife. Lady Seon was forced to swallow the whole bowl of poison during her pregnancy, and no one felt pity. She screamed, wailed and begged but no one felt sorry instead they were glad that the House Seon was finally ruined. They were in such a hurry to bury her that they just left the fetus inside her womb without taking it out.

According to the elders' belief, if a child is not separated from the womb, then they will not be able to cross the bridge and Lady Seon had twins in her womb. Within a year of her death the Wang Empire was invaded and the whole royal family was annihilated. For three years the kingdom suffered from famine and drought. At the end grandmaster Park was summoned and after the ritual of conjuring, he successfully sent the wandering spirit to the underworld and the kingdom was restored. In the underworld the soul of Lady Seon was laid to rest forever without the chance of ever getting to reincarnate. The twins however were allowed to reincarnate but only to be entangled again.
