The king's POV.
I have received a message today that the envoy has finally reached Rouran.
The days are passing by very slowly that i sometimes have to ask myself.
'Should i have convinced her to stay behind?'
"Your Majesty" Consort ji ae said bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Your Majesty must have a lot of concerns"
"Yes, i should return my lady"
"I would like to offer you a drink before you leave"
"A few cups because i still have a lot to do during the night"
"I wouldn't want to hold you back either"
"Is this a rare wine?" I asked her after the first cup.
"Yes, specially for your Majesty"
"My lady what is in this wine?" I asked still conscious.
"It is just a little something"
I stood up in a hurry to exit her chamber.
"Where is your Majesty going?" She inquired holding my arm.
"I advice you to stay here for today"
Consort Yeon woo's POV.
One of the maids came into my chamber in a hurry.
"Your highness, your highness" she said kneeling to the ground.
"What is it?"
"I have an urgent report"
"His Majesty stayed in Consort ji ae's chamber"
'How silly'
"How is that new?"
"No the thing is.."
"What are you doing trying to torment her highness in her state?" my personal maid lectured.
"If something happens to the young prince are you going to take responsibility?"
"No i deeply apologize"
"Allow me to take my leave"
'That sly fox, has she finally gotten her way?'
"Eun bi i need you to watch Consort Ji ae"
"We can find out what happened from their activities today"
The King's POV.
I came back to Consort Ji ae's chamber in the morning and called for her to meet me outside.
"Good morning your Majesty"
'She is still wearing that smirk'
"You...you dared to use those old tricks on me?"
"What do you mean? I always knew your Majesty liked me, i just helped you admit it"
"Was choosing to be fair to you a mistake?"
"Fair?when everyone knows Yeon woo is your favorite"
"You tell yourself these things to make yourself feel better"
"So it wasn't enough"
"Not good enough for me"
"But your Majesty... Did i choose to be born to my family?"
"No"
"Then why does everyone treat me like it is my fault"
"You don't choose who you are born to but you can choose who you become"
"Didn't you choose to be greedy for my throne?"
"Choice? Hah"
"When everyone always tells you,' this what you must do'
'this is what you are here for' since birth"
"I can't help wanting your throne, it is what i have been programmed to do and what i must do"
'I didn't know she could be so blunt'
"How can your Majesty understand how i feel?" She said another tear streaming down her cheek.
"It is a relieve i can not choose who succeeds my throne, it's the heavens will"
"Nobody needs to be greedy about it"i stated calmly.
"I also apologize for flaring up like that, i should be more understanding"
"My lady should wipe your tears, others might get the wrong idea"
"Here" i said giving her a small embroidered handkerchief.
"I apologize too, i hope your Majesty can forgive me"
I extended my hand to grab hers.
"You will spend more time with me than you have back home, so from now on i will keep repeating these words,'you are here to be my wife' 'being happy is what you must do' until you understand them too"
"Your Majesty"
"Do you want to take a walk?"
"Like this?" She asked lifting our hands in the air, her eyes getting bigger.
"Will you be uncomfortable"
"No, No" she blurted waving her palm.
"Let's go"she said going ahead and pulling me a bit from behind her.
'This show off' i deduced shaking my head.
