Ahri like everyday was practicing her piano skills when a stronger wind distracted her. She got up and closed the big window, as she made her way to the piano, there was an old looking photo on her stool.

Ahri had a trouble with recognizing who's in the photo as she was adopted and wasn't able to get to know the history of her royal family. She turned the photo and there was a short note on it.
"My eldest daughter is finally married. I'll pray so she can have a little girl. - Cheon Taeri"
Ahri got even more curious about who is it on the photo, as she knew that her mom's last name was Cheon before getting married. She hid the photo in her book and went back to practicing.
After two hours a maid came into Ahri's art room and told her there's a family meeting in the dining hall. She gracefully got up and the maid helped her with the big flowy dress she was wearing. She grabbed onto her book and phone before following the maid.
She entered the dining hall trough a massive door and saw her family sitting at the table. She respectfully bowed and made her way to her chair. Ahri's father was missing as he was busy with something in the town.
''Your father is planning on marrying another woman, and I want the three of you to also be respectful towards her.'' Ahri and her siblings looked at each other with 'did i hear that right?' look. ''But Mother why are you letting him do that? Is the three of us not enough?'' the oldest son Minho said as he hated the idea of having a stepmother. It also meant that their mother will have to step down and give away her crown, but still will live in the castle and will receive protection from her husband.
Ahri decided to ask her mother about the photo she found. ''Mom, I found this old looking photo in my art room. Could you tell me about this couple?'' The mother smiled upon seeing the photo, she also turned it around and read the little note.
''The note was written by my mother, your grandma. The woman on the photo is my eldest sister, she's 4 years older than me. She's your auntie, Cheon Seojin. The man on the photo is her husband. After she gave birth to her only child she vanished. Her husband moved out to another country and we never heard anything about them since then'' Ahri always carefully listened whenever her family would tell her stories about their roots.
The family ate dinner and soon after everyone went their ways. Ahri went to her bedroom and opened her balcony. As she was breathing in the fresh air, she noticed someone in the Royal garden. She looked closer and it was him Kim Yunho. ''Psycho...'' she said to herself and quickly closed her balcony. ''GUARDS!'' She yelled and immediately two man came into her room. ''Someone is in the garden, it's making me uncomfortable'' The two bowed to her and immediately went to search the garden. Knowing that the guards are checking the garden she again opened the balcony. Ahri then went to her bathroom and undressed herself to take a bath. She put her favorite bath bomb into her big bathtub and got inside. With her airpods in she closed her eyes and tried her best to relax.
