"Father, what is this ball about?" Yeosang asked his father, who was enjoying a cup of tea in the enormous garden at the back of the palace, hidden from the view of commoners.
"It is a ball to commemorate your marriage, son. You have given your consent and I am overjoyed" Yeosangs father, Kang Hyun inhaled the delicious scent of his tea.
"Father! I did not give my consent for this marriage and nor do I want a ball. I do not want marriage father, please understand" Yeosang stated.
He didn't know where his father had the guts to arrange his marriage without his consent. Marriage isn't something that can be done without the liking of either parties. Marrying someone he did not love wasn't something he fancied, even for the sake of his Kingdom.
"Kang Yeosang, you will listen to your father and you will proceed with this marriage" Hyun's voice grew deeper.
"No! I do not wish to marry her" Yeosang never thought that there would ever be a time where he had to raise his voice at his father.
"For the sake of this Kingdom, for the sake of power, you will marry Princess Chaeyoung" his father didn't raise his voice, unlike Yeosang did.
"Father. . . Please" Yeosang pleaded, allowing his soft voice to surface.
"Yeosang, please, do marry her. She is a nice girl with decency" Hyun finally placed his teacup on the table and looked at his son as he sighed. Yeosangs white hair falling over his grey eyes. "You looks just like your mother, son"
"Father please do not change the subject. I wish to know why it has to be the Princess. You could've made me marry someone else" Yeosang brushed his hair out of his view.
"She is the princess of a Kingdom. I cannot have you married to a normal lady" Yeosang's father sighed.
"That isn't your true intention father, I know it" Yeosang demanded.
"You could seize their throne! You could be an Emperor! Conquering the smaller kingdoms through war!" Yeosangs father shot out of his chair.
"I knew it. Those were your intentions. I have told you, Father, I have no interest in the throne and all I want is peace. I do not wish to conquer any Kingdom" Yeosang had disappointment in his voice. He knew that his father wanted to rule Wonderland, to make Yeosang its Emperor. All his father knew was blood, war and power.
"I tried to, son. Peace is not the way" Hyun stayed as calm as possible.
"And nor is war! Mother did not want this father! She did not want you to turn out this way" Yeosang reached to his chest and balled his fist around his mother necklace.
"She's gone! She's dead! She died because Fire poisoned her!" his father now raised his voice. The air became colder and a blizzard of snow whirled around the raging royals.
