(Sarah and Prince Do-Yun are sitting in a beautiful flower garden)
Sarah: (Sniffling the air) I smell fragrant flowers everywhere...
Do-Yun: (Smiling) I smell them too...
Sarah: They're lovely...
Do-Yun: (Stares intently at her) Just like you are...
Sarah: (Blushes) Thanks, Wang-Ja.
Do-Yun: When we've gotten married, I shall enroll you in a special school for Korean Scholars, where you'll be taught to speak Korean and write in Hangul.
Sarah: (Eyes lit up) Wow! I'd love that very much... Thanks again!
Do-Yun: My pleasure.
Sarah: And you're my treasure...
(And they both laugh)
Do-Yun: I like the sound of that. You're mine too...(And he smiles and caresses her hair, lovingly)
Sarah: Can I stop saying thanks?
(And they laugh again)
Sarah: (Soon her smile dissolves into a concerned facial expression, and Do-Yun notices it just in time)
Do-Yun: What is it, my Love?
Sarah: Am I really fit for you?
Do-Yun: (He stares at her deep in the eye) Yes, you are, my Love... Nothing should make you feel the opposite; you're the perfect woman for me.
Sarah: But I'm still skeptical about your parents...
Do-Yun: You don't have to be. I've told you that they don't matter. I'm not a kid anymore; so they haven't got any right to interfere with my love life.
Sarah: (She sighs and says nothing)
Do-Yun: (He leans forward towards her and caresses her hair again) You've got such silky hair... They're smooth through my fingers...
Sarah: (Smiles) Yours is silkier!
Do-Yun: I can't wait to feel our daughter's... It'll be the silkiest!
Sarah: (Chuckles) You want us to have a daughter as our first child?
Do-Yun: Yes.
Sarah: But why? ( Still chuckling)
Do-Yun: Because girl children are so much more adorable, than the boy.
Sarah: Oh really? That's true anyway.
Do-Yun: (He stops speaking and stares at her lips)
(Sarah was beginning to tremble. Why was he looking at her lips? Wait... Did he find them attractive or he wanted to...) (Just then her thoughts were interrupted as a palace messenger disrupts the moment.)
Messenger: (Bows, and speaks in Korean) Your Majesty, the Queen sends for you...
Do-Yun: ( Scoffs) What now! Can't I be left alone for once?
Messenger: But you're not alone...
Do-Yun: (Frowns) And how's that your business? Go tell her that I'll be right there...
Messenger: (Bows and leaves)
Sarah: (To Do-Yun) Is everything alright?
Do-Yun: Yes, my Love... The Queen requests to see me.
Sarah: Oh, okay.
Do-Yun: (He squeezes her hand softly, rises up, and stares at her) I must go now. I'll see you tomorrow?
Sarah: Yeah, tomorrow. (She gives him a faint smile)
Do-Yun: (Smiles too) Do take care of yourself. (And without an after thought, says) I love you...(He didn't wait for a response; he just walked away)
