Kim Jae Young, The 2nd Prince of the emperor was sitting in his room. Smoothly sharpening his sword and his eyes focused on the sword.

Tilting his head, he lifted the beautifully crafted, long sword and ran his fingers across the runes filling the blader's fuller.

He smirked, exposing his face from behind the sword. His eyes could tell everything about him. They were dark and deep.

He heard the knock on his door and commanded to come in.

"Jihoon"

He said, looking up. His voice was low pitched, deep and warm.

Jihoon bowed his head and then said,

"Your Highness, the 3rd prince is getting married soon. Probably within a month." He said."A banquet will be held in the royal palace tomorrow, his fiancee will also come to meet everyone"

Jae Young dilated his eyes and went deep in the thoughts for a moment , then he spoke

"That means I have to do something soon. If he gets married, there are high chances that he will be chosen the crown prince by the emperor." He picked up the sharpening stone and started to sharpen his sword.

"He can't get married so soon, I still need some time."

Jihoon could sense there was something going on in Jae young's head and definitely something evil. He asked,

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Kill his fiancee." Jae young said, leaving Jihoon stunned.

Another murder? Another innocent person will be killed? Jihoon thought. Why does he always have to kill people to get what he wants? Can he not be a little merciful for once in his life?

"Master, if you'll kill his fiance , he will marry someone else. It will not change anything.

Jihoon didn't want his master to take another innocent life. He knew that by killing people, Jae young was only becoming more and more empty inside and as a loyal guard, an advisor and maybe a friend, Jihoon only wanted good for him.

Jae Young: " Doesn't he like her? I'm sure, he will, at least, pretend to mourn for her some time. Right now, all I can do is stall this marriage."

Jihoon sighed, Then he turned around when he heard the loud bang on the door, two guards dragged a man inside the room.

Guard: "Master, he was eavesdropping." They all bowed.

The man was vibrating in fear, he could scarcely breath when Jae Young glared at him.

Man : " I-i was not, I-I was not eavesdropping, your highness."

Standing up from his seat, Jae Young took some steps towards that man.

" I-i came here to deliver the royal invitation f-for the banquet. I-I didn't eavesdrop, your highness."

Jae Young: "Leave him " he said, signalling his guards to go out of the room. They left the room,bowing.

Man : " Your Highness, p-please cut my tongue so I can't speak. C-cut my hands so I can't write! B-but please spare my life! I-I didn't hear anything your highness." He took out the invitation and put it on the floor. "I-I just came here to deliver the invitation."

He couldn't even connect his eyes with Jae Young, his hands were shivering, his eyes blinking. He was scared to death , he was seeing his death standing in front of him .

Jae Young: "When I see this fear in people's eyes." He said, " I feel peace at heart." He added with a vile smirk on his face that made the man tremble even more.

Man : "Y-your Highness, I-I didn't hear anything. " He said his lips shaking.

Jae Young was known for being merciless, cruel prince. People believed his heart turned stone when he went through something tragic during his childhood. Putting others down, killing people, snatching their peace, it would make him peaceful.

"The person who's terrified of death, it's more fun to kill him ."

That man's eyes widened, sweat and tears ran down his face.

In the blink of an eye, Jae Young lifted his sword in the air and plunged it onto the man's stomach, pushing it upward, he bawled like an animal and fell down.

The carpet was turning red.

Jihoon was disappointed but not surprised. Maybe he was eavesdropping, he was a royal guard, he could be 3rd prince,Minhyuk's spy. He thought. He convinced himself that the guard deserved to die

Jae Young: "Get this thing out of my room" He ordered him.Jihoon bowed his head and ordered the guards to remove the body.

*****************

The door opened, Jang mi's mother was brutally pushed on the ground by her father.

"Mother!!"

Jang mi screamed, seeing marks on her face, she was sure her father had beaten her again.

He took some steps towards her, she was helpless on the ground. He raised his hand to slap her again when jang mi grabbed his hand to stop him.

His gaze went to jang mi, eyes more furious. He sharply glared at her. He pushed her back and she fell down.

"How dare you!" He yelled.

"How dare you touch my mother!?" she yelled. "She's already sick! What a man you are!"

Jang mi's father grabbed her by her chin tightly, giving her a fierce glance.

"The more I am angry at is you only, You shameless-"

"Leave her, you're angry at me! Take it on me!" jang mi's mother said, grabbing him by his legs so he couldn't walk towards jang mi. He kicked her.

Then his gaze went to Jang mi's mother when he released Jang mi and went towards her.

"I told you not to go out of this room! You will live the rest of your life here! And you will die here." He told her, his voice harsh and rigid."You already ashamed me a lot by giving birth to this shameless girl who slept with my servant!" He finally said.

Tears flowed down jang mi's cheeks, it wasn't the first time she was hearing that but it always hurt her like the first time, specially because she was innocent.

"She was framed by your second daughter!! My daughter is nothing like this! " She yelled, sobbing. "How can you say such things about your own daughter?!"

Gripping on her hair tightly, he said

"Liar! Stop blaming your daughter's dirty and shameless mistake on others."

She was just crying and questioning her decision of marrying him. She loved the wrong person. She left everything for him and at the end he was easily fooled by people, he was torturing his daughter and his own wife since years.

"You have to go to the royal palace tomorrow, be ready for it" Jang mi's father said gazing at jang mi. That's a thing your doing good, marrying the 3rd Prince. I hope you will not mess it. He shouldn't know about your dirty past.

"I don't have any dirty past!" jang mi shouted.

"Keep your voice down!" He roared, "I don't know how you seduced him but it's great that you're marrying him, now my position in the palace will rise even more."

Hungry for power, hungry for money, manly only at bullying his own wife and daughter. Jang mi thought as she scoffed internally. What a father I have!

Her father wanted to kill her and her mother for giving birth to Jang mi, the day he was told that she had something with his servant. But, instead he decided to torture both of them forever, the rumour didn't spread and nobody knew about it so he thought it wouldn't harm him.

But jang mi was innocent. She knew, it was her step-sister, Min ah who framed her with great planning and made her father believe everything. During all that time, her mother was the only one who went through a lot, she cried and kept on crying. She even decided to take her life but she decided to live for her. Still she was really sick now and whatever happened effected her badly.

Her father stormed out, slamming the door behind him.Jang mi went to her mother and hugged her crying.

"I'm sorry mother, I wish I could do something for you." She said while crying."I really can't see you like this."

Jang mi's mother looked jang mi, swallowing her emotions. She said,

"Why are you crying?"

She placed her hand on jang mi's cheeks.

"You're going to become the princess consort and soon the crown princess." Her face glowed.

"My daughter will rule the world ".

Tears flowed down jang mi's cheeks.

"Once I'll get married to the 3rd prince, I'll tell him everything, then you'll live with us. I'll take you in the palace with me and the people who made us miserable..." With that Rage filled her eyes.

"I vow it mother, I'll not let them live in peace "

Jang mi's mother gave her a sad smile.

"You're my brave daughter."

Jang mi wanted to create a peaceful and happy life for her and her mother. Her mother was praying the same for jang mi too. She just wanted her daughter to live a happy life, she was relieved that Jang mi was going to marry the 3rd prince, Minhyuk and she was relieved as Jang mi's life was going to change for good.

****************

People were gossiping and whispering when the 2nd prince, Kim Jae Young entered in the palace with his guards.The crowd parted and hushed, bowing as he passed by them they started whispering to each other.

"He seems very much furious."

"He's so handsome but for what! He has a black heart."

"The 3rd prince, Minhyuk is getting married soon, maybe that is why he is here."

"He's the absolute worst. Thank God he's nowhere in the line of becoming the crown prince. He's already so remorseless with the power he has, can you imagine what he will do once he gets the throne?" He gasped.

Jae young was hated by people but respected at the same time. Because of the terror, people respected him out of fear, they would never want to mess with him.

They were aware of the fact that,

~ Whoever messes with him or comes his way, dies mercilessly ~

*****************

Jang mi was walking in the royal palace with her father and her step-sister, Min ah when min ah spoke gazing at jang mi ,

"Why have you dressed so dull? You should've asked for my help.Are you going to disappoint the 3rd prince? Min ah scoffed.

With a heavy sigh jang mi rolled her eyes.

"I'm good sister. In fact, you look stunning though, nice dress." Jang mi said, giving her a phony smile. "Seems like you've groomed yourself for my part too."

Min ah gritted her teeth glaring at jang mi.

Jang mi's step-sister was jealous of jang mi when she didn't even have anything. Now that jang mi had the 3rd prince, Minhyuk, she was restless since the day he fell in love with jang mi. She wanted to snatch everything jang mi had. And jang mi knew she was beautifully dressed in a hope that she might be able to entice the 3rd prince.

Without any doubts she was indeed really beautiful and she was also very intelligent. She was quite talented and popular for being perfect but Jang mi didn't care about it . Jang mi believed if, the 3rd prince, Minhyuk really loved her he would not waver away and if he did then he never loved her.

"This witch" Min ah thought.

"The prince is coming" Jang mi's father said, clearing the air.

Jang mi's gaze went to the 3rd prince, Minhyuk.He was so handsome. His gaze was stuck at her.

Jang mi met him a year ago, when she found him injured in the bank of a river. She didn't know he was a prince, since he was in disguise. She helped him and saved his life.

After that he would come to meet her often. He didn't reveal his identity. In fact, pretended to be poor to see if she'd still care about him but she still fell for him because he was really nice to her. He was impressed by Jang mi's simplicity and sincerity

Looking at him, a wide smile spread across her face. In her life, he was the only person who would make her feel happy and forget her worries.

"Your Royal Highness." Jang mi's father said, bowing. He would also respect Jang mi in front of the prince.

"Brother-in-law, I'm Min ah. Choi Min ah. We haven't met before. I'm going to be your sister-in-law soon." Min ah said smiling widely.

He returned her a smile and again dropped his gaze to jang mi. She bowed her head, smiling.

"Your Highness"

Haven't I told you to call me by my name?

Jang mi lowered her eyes nervously.

"Not in front of everyone"

"I don't mind and I don't care what others think." He said, making her blush.

Min ah cursed internally seeing him like this.

*****************

"I really can't wait to get married to you." Minhyuk told jang mi while walking in the garden of the royal palace.

A smile formed on her lips.

"Me too."

Jang mi had met everyone in the royal palace before, except for Jae Young because he was never present there the times she visited.

But today, she was about to meet his family, as the official fiancee of the 3rd prince and now her and now they both were going to get married soon. She still had to meet Jae Young but she was never curious about him.

She was walking with Minhyuk when they both ran into Jae Young. He was passing by, he stopped, looking at Jang mi.

"She's his fiancee,Jang mi." Jihoon mumbled to Jae young.

"Brother."

Minhyuk grabbed jang mi by her hand and took steps closer to Jae young. He sounded as if he was mocking him.

Jihoon bowed in front of Minhyuk.

"Jang mi, He's my elder brother, the 2nd prince, Kim Jae Young."

You bowed.

So he is the second prince whose mother was the queen but then she was abolished for treason. Jang mi thought. I've heard a lot about him, seeing him in person, he does match the rumours. NO! Judging too soon isn't good. Even though, she wasn't curious, seeing him, she got curious for some reasons

"I'm glad you came, you must be really excited about my marriage." His mocking speech remained the same but undetected.

Jae Young took steps closer to Minhyuk, meeting his gaze in a sharp glare.

Minhyuk smirked while Jang mi was just looking at them in perplexity. Jae Young glanced at her for a moment and then he walked away, leaving jang mi dumbfounded.

What!? He's so rude even with his own brother.Now I can judge him. She thought.

"Is there something wrong with the 2nd prince?" You asked.

Minhyuk didn't seem to have a good relationship with Jae Young and it became obvious when he said,

"He's just like that, forget about him." He placed his hand on jang mi's shoulder.

"Let's go." He said, smiling.

Minhyuk was going to become the crown prince and Jae young was not even in the line because of what his mother did in the past. Minhyuk used to look at Jae young and would feel threatened by him, he was just waiting to become crown prince so he could move Jae young out of his way.

Jae young was well aware of Minhyuk's intentions and he was doing his best not to let him become the crown prince but how long could he? Minhyuk was bound to become the crown prince but Jae young wanted to have the throne at any cost.

Jae young huffed.

"Was he taunting me!?" He said angrily, in a voice of pressed irritation. "Why don't I kill him first?! He clenched his fist, trying to reel his temper.

"Master, he was just trying to bother you, don't pay attention to him" Jihoon said.

****************

3 weeks later in Emperor Kim's Mansion,

"I sent the men, your highness." Jihoon bowed.

"Now I just have to wait and enjoy his misery." he said with an evil smirk.

Meanwhile,

Jang mi was outside in a garden with the 3rd prince while he was playing violin.

"Woah! You're really good at it" Jang mi's admiring gaze sent a smile to his lips.

"You want to try?"

"No, I don't know how to play, I don't want to make a fool of myself." She chuckled nervously making him laugh.

Before he could speak anything they both got astonished by some men coming and standing in front of jang mi.

Jang mi furrowed her brows in confusion while Minhyuk stared at them puzzled.

They didn't wait for him to say anything and kicked him back, he fell down badly and hurt his arms, before he could stand up they dragged jang mi away with them. He stood up and ran towards them but they were fast.

"Guards! " He shouted.

His guards came running to him, his arm was bleeding.

"Go after them!!" He commanded.

Minhyuk was feeling anxious yet angry. He was thinking who would've sent those men, he wanted to go for jang mi by himself but he was injured and wasn't allowed to go. He was really worried about her, he couldn't sit still when his mother, The present Empress came to his room. The first thing she said, left him shocked

"You're not going to marry that woman!" She looked unhappy and disappointed.

"What!?" Standing up from his seat, Minhyuk went to her.

"She's so shameless, you can't marry a notorious woman!"

"Notorious? Shameless! What are you talking about?" He was muddled.

"I just found out that she slept with her father's servant" The Empress said, sighing angrily

"What!?" He couldn't believe what he was hearing. "This isn't true! I know her, Jang mi isn't like that. It's just a rumour. Someone is trying to spread now that she's going to marry me! Must be the same person who sent those men"

" Someone!? Her own sister told me! " Her voice echoed, leaving him shocked. "She said, that she wouldn't want the future crown prince to marry a woman like her! Who would know her better than her sister?

"I still condemn to believe it mother!! I love her, I will only marry her!"

" Stop being so stupid! Are you going to give up the throne for her!? Did you forget your motive? A notorious woman cannot be the crown princess, she will bring disgrace for you too!" She said, glaring fiercely at him.

"You have to choose! The throne or her?

Minhyuk pressed his forehead in stress, he was breathing rapidly,he couldn't believe what he was hearing. His mother would never allow him to get married to Jang mi. If it was going to be between Jang mi and the throne, it was obvious what he was going to choose.

"The people already know that you're going to marry Choi Geung's daughter? There has to be a marriage." She said. "Marry her sister! She's more beautiful,smart and intelligent, I'm sure she's perfect. I liked her better when I met her "

Minhyuk was losing his mind, he was puzzled yet worried , he was confused what should he do now. He had to take a decision. He couldn't give up the throne, never, after coming so close.

Chaos began, when the 3rd prince, Minhyuk accepted to marry Mina and broke his ties with Jang mi. He didn't have courage to do it in front of her so he decided to marry tomorrow while jang mi was not here, he was worried about her but his love wasn't strong enough to give up the throne for her.

Jihoon was more focused on gathering information about Jang mi, he knew everything about her family and how her father treated her. Jae young got to know that Minhyuk announced he was going to marry the younger sister, that too tomorrow. Jihoon thought he could at least save Jang mi's life.

Jihoon ran to the living room. Looking at Jae young he spoke, out of breath.

"Master"

"What happened?" Jae young furrowed his eye brows in mild confusion

Jihoon told him everything. Minhyuk was going to marry the younger daughter of Choi geung because jang mi is a woman of bad character and she couldn't be the crown princess in the future. He also told him about Jang mi's family's complications.

"She was treated ill by her own father. Her step-sister is the one who told the prince that she had a stained past, why would a sister do that? Her own family framed her in this." He said.

"She had been holding since now in a hope that everything will go right for her. We can't get her killed. Master, now that the 3rd prince is getting married to her sister, killing her won't bring any good to you, so you should save her."

With a long deep sigh, Jae young got up from his seat.

"It's her fate if she dies."He said, his voice firm, he was not even a little bit bothered by Jang mi's story and everything that was happening with her. "Besides, they will not kill her untill I order them."

"They can do anything to her, she's a young woman!" Jihoon said.

"They won't" Jae young said in a low voice.

"Then why did she have to go through this? Now she is not a threat for you, so why don't you go save her!? How can-"

"I'm going to my room, don't disturb me." Jae young said as he cut him off, walking towards the room.

"Your highness!" Don't forget that years ago, you were also at the same position as her!!!" He raised his voice. Hearing that Jae Young stopped.

"When your mother, the late queen was abolished, they wanted to kill you too after killing her saying you'll bring disgrace to the royal family! At that time, when everyone was turning their back on you, even your father! Weren't you waiting for someone to offer you their shoulder?"

Right now, she's going through the worst, don't commit this sin"

Jihoon couldn't let his master kill an innocent person who was already going through a lot in her life. He always wanted him to become a better person, he was doing his best, it was all he was capable of doing . It never really worked, but he was hoping this time maybe it would.

Jae Young turned around, his eyes turning red. Jihoon stood on his knees in front of him, lowering his head.

"I was your friend but I, myself wasn't able to help you but you can at least save her. Master her death will become a burden on you. I know whatever's written in her fate will happen but don't take this sin on you. Please, save her. They could do anything to her. You can't trust them.

"Where did she go?! How can you lose her?! What will I say to the master?!" The Assassin said to the rest of the men. "Find her!". They all spread out in the forest to search jang mi.

Jang mi was hiding in the bushes, sweating,her hand on her mouth so that those men can't hear even her breathing.

A man slowly passes by her, so she took a step back carefully when she crunched a bunch of dried leaves by her foot. She gasped. The man noticed there was someone, he commanded the rest of the men to run towards her.

She was breathing shallowly and started running. They were behind her, following her.

She didn't look back. She was running as fast as she could, panting, sweating. She could now hardly breath when her feet stopped moving as her gaze fell on a man riding his horse towards her

He slowly got down from the horse, gazing at her.Those assassins also stopped, looking at him. His face wasn't visible because the light was coming from behind him.

"Mi-minhyuk". She thought and ran towards him.She jumped on him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders embracing him in a tight hug.

Jae young felt a thud on his chest. He felt like his heart skipped a beat. Right there, for a moment, his brain froze.

Those assassins went some steps closer to him, from the side they recognised his face. He signalled them just by his eyes to run away.

"He's the 2nd prince, Let's go back." He told the rest of the men and they all left.

Jang mi had gripped him in a tight hug, his arms were in the air, he was clueless. He never let any woman go closer to him because of many reasons but he felt surrendered for a moment.

Hugging him, she breathed a long sigh. He smelled like something so faint and sweet, it made her want to press her face more firmly on his chest to smell his scent better.

The grip on his back was tightening more and his heart was racing even more.

"What is this woman doing!? He thought. "Is she crazy?!"

He couldn't believe the thing that was making his heart beat so fast was a woman's arms, her body wrapped around his.

"Do you want to die!? Get off me!!" He said harshly but jang mi didn't say anything. "I'm talking to you! Are you listening?!" Again, he didn't get any response from her.

Then he gripped on her shoulders and pulled her back, she was about to fall because she became unconscious when he gripped on her back tightly so that she doesn't fall

"She fainted?" He muttered."How fragile."

He was looking at her features, half of her face was covered with sweat and mud, nothing about that was beautiful or attractive at all but he was still looking at it without even blinking, his gaze strolling all over her face for a few minutes. Then he breathed a deep sigh, gazing at her. He lifted unconscious jang mi in his arms and began to walk forward.

Few moments later,

He placed her near a bank of the river, outside the forest, with her back against a tree.

Jihoon was waiting for Jae young to come back when he entered in the palace mansion. He went towards him.

"What happened? Where is she?"

Jae young glared at him.

"I saved her from my assassins." He said. "Now where is she, how is she,this is not my concern and nor it should be yours"

" I know, I just -"

"Jihoon." He cut him off. "Don't think I saved her because of that little speech you gave me. I saved her because I had no reason to kill her. I'm already in a bad mood right now so don't mention things that irritate me" With that Jihoon lowered his head.

" I know what you're trying to do but I don't care about anyone and you know that better. When I was at the worst phase of my life, I was alone. I had none by my side, do you know why?"

"Because people are selfish, even your own family will not support you at times. In this world of selfish people you have to become worse then the others, only then you would be able to survive and that's what I have learned, that's the only thing life had taught me." Jae young said.

Jihoon knew him since he was little and he knew he had reasons because of which he was so heartless but sometimes his evil side would scare him, thinking of what he would do with people when he would get the throne used to horrify him.

"All these people stood against me! They used to call me son of a sinner and they still do! They wanted to kill me!" Jae young's eyes turned red, recalling the horrifying past.

" Nobody, not even a single person looked at me with sympathetic eyes."

His voice lost his edge and got it back in a sinister tone.

"But now, when I see those people looking at me with fearful eyes, I feel I've achieved something already, only the throne is yet to be mine."

That evil look in his eyes was enough to destroy the stones, those sharp eyes were waiting to tear out everyone who once brought tears in them.

Entering his room, he slammed the door behind him.

He was really frustrated of how things changed like that. He didn't expect that would happen, Minhyuk was going to get married the next day and he couldn't do anything about it.

*******************

Jang mi woke up that cloudy morning and found herself lying near a tree. She roamed her head around with half closed eyes and brushed the dust off her clothes while standing up.

Where is Minhyuk? She thought. She realised, he was nowhere around. Was that a dream? She slightly furrowed her brows. No I remember everything vividly. The thoughts in her head were confusing her more, if he was Minhyuk then where did he go? Why didn't he take me with him?

Was he not Minhyuk?

She had no time to think about that. She thought her mother would be worried about her because she is easily afraid and first she should go to her mother.

*********************

In Choi Geung's Mansion,

As she entered in the house, her maid came running to her. She looked flustered.

"Miss , y-your mother, m-madam she ...she passed away" she said leaving jang mi stunned, her brain stopped functioning for a moment.

"W-what?! Wh-when?!" Jang mi stuttered.

"Last night. She-she was fine these days but last night when the 3rd prince declared he was going to marry Miss Min ah and the leakage of your rumour, she couldn't take the shock then.

The maid told her everything, how Min ah told the queen about Jang mi's past and Minhyuk broke his relation with her. He was getting married with Min ah on the day jang mi's mother died.

"W-where is my mother?!"jang mi asked with trembling lips.

"I'm sorry miss, your father, I think he told the guards to bury her, he said he didn't want bad luck in his daughter's marriage so he got rid of the body.

Jang mi fell on her knees, pressing her palms on the carpet, she could hardly breath, feeling needles in her chest, She was screaming silently, suffocating with every breath she was taking.

Anger, sorrow, frustration. She was feeling all these emotions simultaneously. It was too much for her heart to handle, the betrayal, the death, the loneliness made her feel agitated and dying inside. Pressing her lips together, she tried to suppress the sob, but couldn't suppress the tears her eyes were streaming with.

Crying would make me weak. The thought crossed her mind. I cannot be weaker than I already am.

"Mi-minhyuk".He....he can't do this, because of him....I...I lost my mother." Tears rolled down her cheeks and dropped on the carpet. "Why-why did he do that? Did he not trust me! " her voice broke. " Did...did he not love me?"

It was scarcely believable for jang mi how he changed like that and her father turned out to be the worst. Worse than monster who didn't even let her see her mother's face and was marrying off his daughter on the day his wife died.

****************

In the royal palace,

Min ah and Minhyuk were taking blessings from the Emperor and Empress, her father had that wide smile across his face. He was the happiest that his daughter got married to the prince, he was more happy that it as not jang mi at her place.Just then jang mi ran in the crowd and shouted.

"MINHYUK!"

He turned around his head and saw her! Mina got worried. She was scared what jang mi would do as she looked at her father.

"Don't worry, what can she even do? She'll scream and shout, that's all she is capable of doing" he said.

Standing in front of Minhyuk, Jang mi looked into his eyes, he was ashamed but was not doing anything about it. Tears spilled down her cheeks, her bloodshot eyes, trembling hands. it made him feel bad but he stayed calm and cold.

"How can you believe anything someone said and break off the relation with me?! She said. "Why didn't you wait for me?!! Why didn't you save me?? What about all those promises!? Why didn't you ask me at least?!! Because of you people, I LOST MY MOTHER!!!" Jang mi yelled looking at them.

He flinched. He was aware of it already but he couldn't give up the throne.

Jang mi's father grabbed her by her elbow.

"Don't create a scene here" he mumbled, giving her a death glare. People started whispering to each other.

≥ "Who's she? What is she saying?"

≥ " She's that shameless woman who seduced the 3rd prince but now the 3rd prince knows her reality."

≥ " Look, she is now embarrassing her father, Mr.Choi Geung."

≥ "She is so annoying! She is ruining the marriage!"

She pulled back her hand angrily,

"HOW CAN YOU DO THIS!!" She yelled looking at Minhyuk who had no expression on his face.

She never expected anything good from her father, She knew he was a monster but she wasn't expecting this from Minhyuk, the only person who cared about her.

" What is all this!? " The Emperor roared.

"What are you looking at? Kick her out of here." Minhyuk ordered the guards.

Jang mi's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't believe he just said that, but after what he did, it was expected and he had to do it even if not from his heart.

The guards grabbed her,dragging her away.

"HOW CAN YOU CHANGE LIKE THAT?!" She yelled glancing at Minhyuk,while the guards were dragging her out.

They pushed her on the ground, out of the palace. She wanted to stand but the strength in her body left her too. Gripping on her dress from her thigh , She began to cry.

The screams, sobs, her breath stuttering, She bawled her heart out.

Suddenly, The rain began to pour from the black sky on her. Her tears mingled with the raindrops and dripped down her chin. She sat all day in the same place in the rain, crying, She went out of tears, she was feeling just numb and cold.
