Punishment
He is warned that WooPil returned to the palace safely, but he is still very angry at his concubines regardless and intends to punish them. Luckily WooPil is fine or they might have really faced something bad.
He has them all kneeling and uses magic on them, they don't feel anything at first. He sends them away, telling them to return to their residences and to not show up in front of him for a few days.
He immediately visits WooPil to make sure his boy is alright and also asks what happened exactly. He is not sure what to think about Johan's involvement, but since WooPil is fine, he lets it be.
Some days pass and his mood is still not great. He works as usual, but doesn't go to meet anyone, he just fullfills his duties and returns to his own residence.
It is morning and he is heading towards the throne room. Meanwhile, the days he asked his concubines to not show up are passed.

''I assure you he appreciates us old men more than other kids.'' He makes a slight, amused smile.
He looks at him, listening carefully to the explaination of the rings. ''They must be incredibly valuable...may I ask why you want to gift them to WooPil? There is more than his help with your child, I presume.''
He shuts his eyes at the exact explaination of the matter. ''LianSul...I have a friend that knows extremely well curses. Maybe he'd be able to lend you a hand, but I am afraid that if Ziqun can't...then no one will be able to change it.''
«He is the only child of my wife's dearest late friend… we have been wishing to give him a valuable gift.» Of course there is more, he wants WooPil to have them because he feels guilty for what BangSul did to WonPil, even if it happened before LianSul was born.
«I… somehow, am no longer affected by the curse. I never knew how it happened, but it was many centuries ago… though, all my children and grandchildren are endangered by it, although it seems to be in effect only in this world. I would appreciate if your friend could give his opinion…»
I understand now...you can be certain I'll give these precious rings to WooPil, I'll also make sure he treasures them.'' He is sure WooPil will take care of them if he understands they are important.
''Could it be...related to their behaviour in life? Maybe your kids...committed some sort of crime?''
«Xiexie, my Lord. If these rings can bring him even a slight joy, in the future, I will consider it a blessing.» At least one small deed he could make to try to make up for his father's greatest mistake.
«No, it wasn't my children's fault, but my father's. Me and my siblings were all born with the curse, the fact it got… lifted, from me… I prefer not to make speculations… it could have been just a case.»
I'm sure he will appreciate...once he grows his own family, I'm confident they'll become an important part, maybe like his own family jewelry.'' He bows his head.
''We'll see what Ziqun has to say on the matter. A Curse Master like him should know what to do...'' He doesn't want to raise hopes too much, fearing the curse might not be possible to undo.
