The day before the announcement.

"Father, how about this, make Tanya my wife."

Tagon, who was sipping a glass of wine, choked. Daedae who was still in the room was also surprised.

"What?" Asked Tagon, making sure he heard nothing wrong.

"I'm going to marry Tanya."

Tagon chuckled, "You think, if she were your wife, then I wouldn't be able to get rid of her, huh?"

"By being your daughter-in-law, it makes her position beneath yours. A married woman must obey her husband and in-laws. After all this marriage can also strengthen this kingdom."

"What if she refuses?"

Saya lowered his gaze, "you are a king. The king's orders are not to be refused."

Return to the podium.

"I will have a royal wedding between Prince Saya and High Priestess Tanya Niruha."

The final announcement from King Tagon succeeded in erasing the trepidation and worry of the people of Arthdal. They seem to forget that they are going to war with the Ago tribe. They welcomed the news of this marriage with great joy.

But the related person did not feel that happiness, in fact she was very shocked. This late fall chill seemed to have frozen Tanya in her chair. She was at a loss for words, and didn't know what to do.

And Tanya wasn't the only one who didn't like the idea of ​​this arranged marriage. Yangcha felt an invisible dagger stabbing his heart. He didn't understand, why did hearing Tanya will marry another man make it seem like he was on the verge of death?

After the announcement, without wasting any time, Tanya immediately met Tagon in his meeting room. There were still Taealha, Saya, Mubaek, and several ministers who had an interest in taking care of war preparations. They were in a meeting, but seeing Tanya's arrival, Tagon postponed the meeting and told them all to come out.

"Congratulations on your marriage," said Taealha before leaving.

Saya paused for a moment near Tanya who only gave him a quick glance and then looked away. He just smiled sadly as he left the room.

"My heir will go to war. He needs a new heir, just in case something untoward happens. To have an heir, of course he must marry," Tagon answered before Tanya even asked.

"Why should I?"

"Because you are the right person to accompany a crown prince. I can not choose a woman carelessly. And he also likes you a long time ago. Besides, both of you are adults, it's time to get married."

"Is that your only excuse? Or are you doing this on purpose because I made you kneel before me?"

"Don't like negative thoughts."

"Why don't you ask me first?"

"If I asked you first, would you agree?"

"Of course, I will definitely refuse."

"You cannot refuse the king's order, especially since I have announced it to the public. How will the people respond if you reject the king's decree who wants to marry you off to his son?"

Tanya took a deep breath, "Okay, I'm sorry for spreading the rumors about the curse and told you to beg for forgiveness from me. I will clarify the rumor in public. I will not repeat it again. I will not accumulate my own power and will become the priest who obeyed you like before. Please cancel this arranged marriage."
