KING'S ( Seokhoon X Rona)

32

- King, we can not let this happen - Cheon Seojin spoke
- Is this true? - Seokhoon asked
- What?
- That you stole the kingdom from him
- It's... It's not important now! That kingdom is part of Ha kingdom now!
- So what are you telling me to do?
- We need to take it back! We should do whatever it takes!
- So you are asking me to start a war... For a kingdom that wasn't even yours? - Seokhoon questioned
- King, Cheon Seojin is right - Suryeon spoke - We can't trust him... He attacker the kingdom, we don't know what he actually wants.
- From this moment on I don't want any of you to do anything about my kingdom and my decisions.
- But king...
- Ms.Cheon Seojin if you are so confident and desperate you can send your own army... But I'm not going to waste any of my soldiers' lives for a kingdom that wasn't even yours.
- But... You wanted to extend our kingdom king. And yet you are letting him have that kingdom? - Suryeon asked
- I changed my mind - he answered.
- Could you all leave us - Suryeon said to everyone, they all nodded and left them alone.
***
- why are you doing this? - Queen asked.
- Doing what?
- You know! You would never let anyone take anything from you! And now... This is not like you!
- Yeah, you are right I was like that... But people took someone... No... The most precious person from me and if you think that now I care about the stupid part of Ha kingdom you are wrong!
- King! Wake up! You are the King! Not some stupid boy who can give up on everything for love.
- And what if I'm that stupid boy! Who decided that Kings' can not be madly in love? Who said that they can not give up?
- King!
- Don't worry... I'm not planning to give up... I will find who did this to her and destroy that person myself. And you better pray that it isn't you
- Are you threatening me?
- Yes. If it's you I will destroy you... I will give you so much pain that your heart won't even be able to take it!
- Brother! - before Suryeon could say anything Seokkyung yelled, she was standing behind the door hearing everything - I understand that you are in pain... But threatening our mother isn't the right thing to do! You don't know the truth so why are you blaming her?
- Joo Seokkyung let's be honest, our mother never liked Rona
- Ant this is the reason? What about Eunbyeol and Seojin? Did you forget what they did to her? How could you blame your mother?!  She didn't even know anything about the marriage! And how could she possibly kill her?!
- It's not only that Seokkyung... - Seokhoon spoke
- Oh... That is it about the poison?! Brother don't you know our mother?! How could she poison someone? Besides, you know that she hasn't even visited her as you wouldn't let anyone go to her... Please brother, I know how much Rona meant to you, and I understand your pain but you can't hate our mother without any proof. -Seokkyung said to him.
- And how can you be so sure? You know how she was against Rona
- I know... But blaming her for killing Rona? What has my mother done wrong?  I know that she was against Rona but she has always been protecting us and you can't blame her that easily - She said, "right, she doesn't know what her mother did, she doesn't know that I'm not her son" Seokhoon thought.
- I will find out who did this to Rona, I'm not punishing her now or anything. I'm just making it clear that right now my only priority is to find out who did this to her and I'm not planning on wasting my time on that Logan Lee guy - Seokhoon spoke.
- I understand you brother and I believe in you. But his invitation, are you going to go there? - Seokkyung asked
- I don't know.
- I think it's too much.  He should come here first and then you should visit him. He should at least do that to show some respect
- You are right Seokkyung, I'll send him my letter
- Sure brother. And if you need a talk, I can always listen to you brother.
- Thank you Seokkyung. You two may go now - he said, they both nodded and left Seokhoon alone.

"Wait how? No.... It can't be..."

- Mr.Logan, we have a letter from the Joo Kingdom - the guard walked in.
- Oh great - Logan answered and took the letter

" Hello, Mr.Logan Lee, Thank you for explaining everything to me. As you already know I wasn't involved in the Ha Kingdom and their lands before.
I truly understand your intention and would like to keep peace in both kingdoms.
However, I can not deny the fact that you attack the kingdom without any warning that's why I can not trust you easily.
because of it I want you to visit my Kingdom first, I want you to be sure that your life won't be in danger while you stay here. Only after that, I will attend the ceremony of your announcement as a King
With respect, King Joo Seokhoon"

Logan Lee couldn't help but laugh as hr finished reading the letter

- That boy got some nerves... And he promises me that my life won't be in danger there? when he couldn't even protect the girl he loved? - he asked and laugh again - what did our spy from Joo kingdom say?
- the spy said that It is safe to come, King Seokhoon isn't planning anything against you King Logan - the soldier said. - he is more focused on finding out who killed that girl
- Well at least her death was useful for us
- Right
- Okay, sent him the message I will be visiting him in 2 days - Logan answered

- Seokhoon what are you doing here?  - Seokkyung asked as her brother walked into her room
- Can we talk? - Seokhoon asked.
- Sure. What's wrong?
- Just... I don't know what to do anymore - Seokhoon said and sat down
- Seokhoon... - Seokkyung mumbled and sat next to him. - maybe you shouldn't do anything for a short time, just take a rest, you've been through a lot. I know how much Rona meant to you.
- Right she meant a lot...  I couldn't even say to her how much I loved her
- I'm sure she know... and she also loved you a lot brother.
- I know... but why? why couldn't I protect her? I found my happiness and yet I couldn't protect her... it's all my fault - Seokhoon's eyes start to get teary, Seokkyung could see how hard it was for her brother, her eyes also started to get teary as she understood that Seokhoon could never get over with Rona, he could never forget her.
- It's not your fault! never say! you didn't know... you couldn't do anything
- No... I could! I should have stayed by her side all the time... I shouldn't have left her even for a second...
- Seokhoon blaming yourself won't help you now... I'm sure this is not what Rona wanted, I'm sure that she never blamed you for anything Seokhoon... She was happy to meet you... So don't blame yourself
- but  now she is gone and I'm alone again.
- Seokhoon you are not alone, you know I will always be on your side, I know it won't change the fact that Rona won't be next to you but you will never be alone. Okay?
- No.
- What?
- I'm really alone now... I've always been grateful to you for being on my side but now I'm alone... You are not by my side anymore.... you said you know how much Rona meant to me... So why did you do it? Why did you kill her? Why you poisoned her Seokkyung?
