Oops, I kind of forgot that Hyang already has concubines in the palace. But who knows when a new concubine might enter and steal his heart through slander and such?
You should not have made such promises. He might be a crown prince now, but once he becomes king, he can take many concubines. One’s heart can be fickle; you can only trust discipline for someone to remain loyal. You could have said that as long as you love and treat me right, I’ll stay (but the moment you treat me unjustly, you’ll never see me again). It feels safer to know you have a choice than to have none at all. As much as possible, I don’t make promises I can’t keep because I know how disappointing it is. And if the crown prince still sees the ring, he might think you lied, misunderstand you, and eventually doubt your heart.
