The chaos in the room stops and everyone's eyes were on Melody and Emilia.

"Good! You all stopped" Emilia says to everyone before turning to both San and Jun.

She marches up to them both and grabs them by their ears making them groan in pain as she pulled them away from each other.

"This ends now! This is ridiculous!! First of all, San, I already told you how I feel you have to respect me for that and trust me with my decision."

Emilia then turns to Junhee, "if this is how your attitude is, I can't see you being a king. A true leader listens to others and you they collaborate with them. When have you once listened to me or your brothers about the War spell?! I don't want it because you can use your energy on something other than revenge. What about your brothers?"

Junhee turns to the goblins and blinks his eyes, "is this true? I haven't...listened to you all?"

They look between each other and nod.

Chan helps Hongjoong stand up, "We don't want you to do the spell either. It's not right."

Sehyoon melts his ice around Yeosang, "Not all goblins were mean to us. If you destroy the kingdom, you destroy innocent lives."

Junhee walks down the steps to get closer to them, "why didn't you all tell me you didn't want this?"

"Normally you listen to us. But, you were so caught up in getting revenge you didn't want to listen to us. You mean a lot to us, we just obeyed you." Donghun tells him honestly.

Byeongkwan puts his hand on Junhee, "look, Jun. we want you to be happy but we don't think this is the right way to do it. These pirates taught us that there's more to life than revenge. There's family and honor." He says and looks to yeosang and Jongho with a smile.

"Bravery and love." Yechan joins in and looks to Hongjoong, Iridessa and Mingi.

"Justice, Friendship and Knowledge." Donghun says with a smile and wraps his arms around Seonghwa, Yunho and Wooyoung.

Junhee looks between his close friends and sighs, they were right, he really never listens to them. This whole time they put his wants before theirs. That's unfair.

"I'm sorry. Truly. I-I guess I did get in over my head. You all mean just as much to me as I mean to you. If this is truly not what you want me to do then I'll trust you all and let it go."

They all cheer with smiles on their faces and they rush up to their prince for a group hug making him giggle.

"You're so stubborn." Byeongkwan tells him and smacks his back making him laugh and rub it.

"Yes, but a leader needs to be a little stubborn."

Donghun smiles savagely, "we don't need that kind of thing."

Emilia clears her throat making Junhee turn around, "you're not done. Come here and apologize to San."

Junhee nods and comes back up and approaches the pirate prince. He bows to him and San bows back.

"I'm sorry, San. It's you I treated the worse. I don't expect your forgiveness, but know that I'm sorry. I was just scared of you taking Emilia from me. I should have trusted her to handle us. I should have politely cleared things up between the three of us. I was immature and selfish. I'm sorry."

San sighs but manages to give him a small smile, "I choose to accept your apology, your highness. I'm sorry too. I also didn't trust a Emilia even after she told me her feelings. I let my anger and jealousy get the best of me. I hurt the both of you. From now on, I'll be happy for Emilia and you. Even if it takes me time. So, let's be friends instead of enemies."

San holds his hand out and Junhee shakes it and the room erupts with cheers and applause.

"You're so kind, San. Thank you." Emilia tells him, patting his back.

Junhee turns to the pirates now, "Goblins, let's all apologize to our guests. They meant us no harm. We promised them a friendship and we broke that promise."

Junhee and the goblins start apologizing to everyone and giving hugs and handshakes.

While everyone converses with each other, Melody steps up to the alter and goes up to San with worried eyes.

"SAN! Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?" She asks him.

San's lips immediately turn into a smile and he quickly embraces her in a tight hug.

"Oh Melody!! I'm so sorry you were probably so worried."

Melody pulls from the hug and smiles with relief, "it's okay! I understand! You're here for Emilia. But seeing as it didn't go as planned, how are you? I'm here for you."

San smiles at her adoringly, his hands resting on her arms, "I'm okay. Emilia is in good hands. I'll be okay. Thank you for always supporting me."

She smiles, feeling her cheeks heat up, "you mean a lot to me, of course."

Emilia taps Junhee's shoulders and he faces her with a soft expression.

"My love, I'm the most sorry to you."

She puts her hand up to stop him, "I know. But if you want to rule wonderland I support that but you can't EVER do why you did again do you understand?!"

Junhee pouts and nods taking the criticism.

She smiles and puts her hand on his cheek, "Hey. I love you. I'm glad you realized this. I also want to help you with wonderland. But, to do that, we have to have a proper wedding ceremony with our parents. AND I'll be taking the crown."

Jun's eyes widen, "you want to rule wonderland?"

"I don't think you're ready to lead it yet. I'll be honest with you. But! I want you to be my king still."

"I knew you were always fit to be a queen, your highness." Melody speaks up and says with a proud smile.

Jun thinks for a bit and nods, "alright. Perhaps after all I did I don't deserve to lead on my own so, I trust you'll be a fine leader."

"No, we're doing this together, like how we promised, we're both leaders. You can lead better when you have people by your side. You were trying to do this all on your own and you didn't have to. You could be a better leader if you rule with me and your brothers."

Junhee smiles and pulls her in for a kiss, "thank you."

San taps Jun's back, "she's a wise woman."

"That she is."

Emilia smiles and looks to everyone, "so! Since we'll have a proper wedding, you all are invited. Until then, you're more than welcome to stay on Wonderland or sail back to where you came from."

Hongjoong looks to San, "that's up to san, we're here for his treasure."

San nods and gives a thumbs up, "we can go! We'll be there at the wedding. Congratulations you two!~"
