The two festive candles on the stage flicker faintly.
Prince Kang blinks his drunken eyes, looking around.
He shouts loudly, "Where is everyone? Where did they all go!"
After listening to the opera in the evening, he went to a private room to drink with friends.
Wasn't it bustling with noise just now?
Right at this moment, a song comes from the backyard.
This voice, like a lament, and like a confession, resembles pear blossoms dripping with tears in the rainy night, compelling one to go and see what's happening.
Prince Kang is almost sober now.
He squints and frowns, looking at the doorway leading to the backyard, which is pitch black.
"At this hour, still singing, what a bother!"
Prince Kang flicks his sleeves and is about to leave.
Suddenly!
The song in the backyard abruptly changes.
"Where did you run off to, not coming back yet!" This sharp and stern rebuke sounds nearly like the voice of Princess Consort Kang!
Prince Kang halts his steps.
