When Mashiho got back to his room, Junkyu had gone to the assembly

He sat down and waited for the guest he had invited

"Your Majesty, your guest has arrived" A servant said from outside of the room

"Let him in" Mashiho said and the door slid open

"Jeongwoo, long time no see" Mashiho said to Jeongwoo

Jeongwoo was happy to see Mashiho, he had so many questions to ask Mashiho, he sat down on the seat prepared for him

"Yah Mashiho, h-how? W-When-tell me what happened?!" Jeongwoo shouted

"Keep your voice down Jeongwoo..." Mashiho said and sipped from his teacup

"...I'm your Empress afterall" Mashiho playfully added smirking while Jeongwoo scoffed

"When I ran off from you, I bumped into someone, I looked up and saw a man, he immediately smiled and hugged me which made me really confused..." Mashiho took a pause and sipped his tea before going on with his lie

"He dragged me to this room and closed the door, he then cupped my face and told me how beautiful I looked" Mashiho dramatically sighed

"Then what happened?" Jeongwoo excitedly asked

"He then asked me to be his Empress and then he..." Mashiho paused again leaving Jeongwoo in suspense

"He what? Tell me?!" Jeongwoo asked shaking Mashiho

"He..He then kissed me" Mashiho said and dramatically covered his face while Jeongwoo gasped believing him

"Woah what a love story...you're lucky hyung, I didn't know the Emperor would do that, wow-
Mashiho flicked his head shutting him up

" Of course that didn't happen...he literally kidnapped me and threatened to kill me if I don't be his Empress " Mashiho said and Jeongwoo gasped

"Look what he did to my arm just because I spoke back to him" Mashiho said and pulled his sleeve up and showed his scar to Jeongwoo

"Now that sounds like our Emperor" Jeongwoo said in horror

"By the way how's the Empress life treating you"

"It's not that bad after all it's just that I feel out of place" Mashiho said scratching his hair

"Of course! You suddenly became the Empress of the North, by the way have you and Emperor Kim done the deed? You guys are bonded now right?" Jeongwoo asked

Mashiho stopped sipping his tea and looked at Jeongwoo

"We haven't, why should we anyways? I'm only his wife by force" Mashiho said and Jeongwoo sighed shaking his head

"You don't get it do you? You're going to have to give the Emperor an heir or he'll be pressurized to have a Royal harem" Jeongwoo said

"Hell no, I'm not gonna do that, I'm training now with the greatest swordsman, The War General, he's teaching me how to be perfect in fighting with swords and weapons, I'm not going to stay here and give the Emperor an heir when I can go for wars" Mashiho protested

"Mm whatever you say" Jeongwoo gave up and let Mashiho think whatever

A knock was heard on the door and a servant spoke "Your Majesty, The General has come to see you"

"Ah it's time for training, would you like to join and watch me?" Mashiho asked Jeongwoo who nodded

"Let him in" Mashiho spoke and the door slid open

"Your Majesty" A man geared up in a fighting suit bowed. He had his long hair in a pony tail, he held a sword in his hand

"You can relax Haruto, he's my guest you don't have to be formal because he's here" Mashiho said and the General nodded

Jeongwoo looked at the General's face and immediately got intimidated because of his serious face, Jeongwoo turned his face back to Mashiho when the General looked at him

"Haruto, this is Jeongwoo, my...wait what are you to me?" Mashiho asked facing Jeongwoo

"I'm your best friend" Jeongwoo said batting his lashes making Mashiho grimace

"He's an old acquaintance" Mashiho said making Jeongwoo glare at him

Haruto was having a hard time, he had to control his urge to stare at Jeongwoo, he immediately picked an interest in Jeongwoo, he composed himself to impress Jeongwoo but he didn't know he was scaring and intimidating him

"My pleasure" Haruto said looking at Jeongwoo who looked away afraid of Haruto?'s expressionless face

"Eyy Haruto sit down, why are you so stiff, don't mind Jeongwoo's presence" Mashiho said auspiciously eyeing Haruto

Haruto sat beside Mashiho as usual and poured some tea for himself

"Once we're done with the snacks we can then go to the training field" Mashiho said and they nodded

Jeongwoo kept chatting with Mashiho to distract his attention from Haruto's strong gaze

"You've improved drastically" Haruto completed when Mashiho won him in a swordfight for the second time

"Woahhoow that's my best friend!!" Jeongwoo cheered from his seat making the maids and soldiers training chuckle

"Aishh this kid is embarrassing me" Mashiho muttered while Haruto smiled

Mashiho and Haruto started fighting but at the end Haruto won this time

The next time Mashiho won. A clap was heard, they turned to the clap

"Doyoung!" Mashiho shouted excitedly as he waved, Doyoung smiled genuinely when he saw Mashiho smile

He walked towards Mashiho but then Haruto walked forward and stood in front of Mashiho in a protective posture

Doyoung's smile faded, he knew Junkyu told Haruto to keep Mashiho away from him

Mashiho looked at Haruto confused, he moved away from Haruto and stood in front of Doyoung

"I haven't seen you in a while" Mashiho said and Doyoung smiled

"Why? Did you miss me?" Doyoung teased

"I hate to admit but I oddly do miss you" Mashiho said smiling and Doyoung stopped smiling, he felt his heart melt

'I...I actually feel loved...It..it feels weird"Doyoung said in his mind and smiled
