Author's POV
Today, the newly wedded couple and all the people who left Illsan for Seoul returned back to Illsan.

Well Jennie was being tutored about the people in the empire and the position they old.

As she was being tutored, she came in contact with Seulgi. She was told that, she was the head of the women's quarters and she is also the Emperor's favorite bride.

All the women in the quarters were head over heels for Jimin and so, they were jealous when he gave Seulgi all his attention when he wasn't busy.

He would only spend the night with Seulgi. Seulgi was his childhood best friend. She was in love with Jimin and even Jimin too, but he would not agree that he loves her because he believes he doesn't have a heart. This words Jimin always say hurt Seulgi.

Seulgi believes she is also the only one that can control Jimin, she is arrogant, proud and full of herself. She believes she is the most beautiful.

Well, Queen Do-hee introduced herself to Jennie and took her to the women's quarters and a small talk happens and  she tells Jennie about all the ladies of the quarters. Do-hee asks why is she not happy with marriage. Jennie tells her Jimin doesnt have a heart and is cruel. Do-hee tells her that she has only seen what Jimin lacks,and  not what he possess and hopefully after her arrival, he will get his lost heart.

While at the temple, Yeri tells Somi that she has lost, and asks her to tell her Jennie'sfuture. She says that Jennie's future is bright, their prayers will be answered and she will earn lots of name and fame. Queen Yeri is relieved to hear this.

In Illsan

Joy and some other maids from Seoul are admiring the palace, Kim Jongin  is furious to see that his enemies are being treated like important people. Jongin  is introduced to the maids. Jongin belittles and talks low of people from Seoul. Jimin comes and he sees what Jongin was doing ,even though, Joy was a maid , she says that it  looks like Jongin is not happy with their presence. After hearing this, Jimin asks him to make arrangements for their nice stay.
(Kim Jongin is Irene's son)

A big celebration was organised because of Jimin's marriage.

All the guests were in the assembly hall, Queen Do-hee  enters followed by Jennie, who greets everyone with a bow. Then Seulgi arrives with her fleet of maids. Joy is worried how Seulgi will take revenge on Jennie because Jennie had a verbal fight with Seulgi earlier that day. All the ladies hand over gifts to Jennie, Irene comes and gives cold stare and some gifts to Jennie. Seulgi comes and gives her the same necklace her maid Eunha wore, and tells Jennie to wear it now, but Jennie being very wise told her she would wear it later.

Finally Jimin arrives, he greets everyone and then takes his seat. They are asked to feed sweets to each other. Jennie takes a small bite but Jimin holds her hand, and eats the whole sweet and looks at her intently and smirks.

A song starts, some people perform welcoming the couple, Jimin is stealing glances on Jennie and looks at Seulgi too. He goes to Seulgi and she whispers in his ears, she tells him about the attitude of Jennie and that she didn't accept her gift, what will people think about her behaviour towards Jimin. Jimin gets angry and says that the real drama will start now.

Everyone praise the dancers and Jimin says that Illsan and the Ques are full of talented people. Jimin tells that the guests that, Jennie has a very sweet voice and asks her to sing in front of everybody. Jennie is shocked and so is everyone else.

Jennie stands in the middle of the hall and starts singing a song praising the valour of her people and somehow disregarding the Ques. All  are shocked and then stand, Jimin is angry, Irene has disapproving looks written boldly on her face , Seulgi again looks at  Jimin signalling him to stop Jennie. She knows that if Jennie continues,she will cause the downfall of the pride of Ques soon. Finally after some moments, Jimin shouts, STOP and tells that the function is over,  he leaves the hall followed by everybody.

Seulgi is angry at Jennie, Irene  tells that she will join hands with her to bring down Jennie.

Jennie is sleeping and she wakes up hearing some noise not knowing that it is Jimin, walking towards the direction of her room. She spots Jimin in her room, he yanked her blanket away from her body and says that he has come to take revenge and Jennie shouts.

She jolts up from her bed and finds out that it was just a dream.

But, she sees Seulgi in front of her. Seulgi tells her that is she surprised to find her at this hour and was she waiting for Jimin. But he will never come to her as he always spends his time/night with her(Seulgi). She tells her(Jennie)  that she is just like a new chandelier, once it is old, it'll be disposed.

She also said that Jimin was just going to use her and  then forget about her and Jimin wasn't going to look in her direction.

Seulgi also told Jennie that as long as she was here, Jennie should bow whenever she sees her.

So Jennie replied saying that she doesn't like Jimin and wasn't expecting him to look in her direction.

Jennie continued by saying that, she would only bow if Seulgi keeps Jimin far as away from her since she controls his mind.

Seulgi smiled in satisfaction knowing that Jennie wasn't interested in Jimin,so she went to her chambers.
