[The next day]

Yoohseok opened his eyes slowly, rubbing his eyes he looked down at the weight on his chest.

His eyes averted to the empty bed beside him.

Minji was on his bed.

Her arm was wrapped around his waist, her face rested on his chest.

"Minji...?" He whispered in a low voice as he gripped over Minji's upper arm gently.

When the girl didn't move he somehow tried slipping away.

Resting Minji's face gently on the bed he walked towards the door.

Yoohyeon layed her head on the edge of the wooden tub with a sigh.

Bathing in a warm water was really relaxing.

She traced her hand over her arms with a small smile.

She was loving this life where she could be true to herself and to the one person she loved the most, her mother.

She was grateful for everything that she had right now, her mother's love and her acceptance, Sunoo's friendship and how he has accepted her without questioning anything.

But there was something that was eating her up alot. It was not sudden, the urge has been there since her childhood. She furrowed her eyebrows, her body was tensed as she traced her fingers over her other arm.

Her face was warm with tears when she realised that she is still unloved by her father. It didn't really make any difference even if she was pretending to be a man.

She noticed that her father hated her alot, since her childhood.

She wanted his love. She wasn't jealous that Hanuel was loved and cared for but what about Yoohseok?

What did Yoohseok do wrong? Why wasn't he loved by his father even after being skillful in everything he did. Was he not worthy?

These thoughts invaded her heart and her mind. She was extremely sensitive to this topic.

She wiped her tears gently before she washed her face with the warm water.

Her eyes moved up towards the direction of the curtains when she heard the ruffling sound.

She almost forgot that now she was married and she wasn't living alone.

"Wait! Don't enter!" She shouted.

"Your highness, the meal is ready..."

She heard Minji's voice.

"I'll be there..." She spoke and basically left a relieved sigh.

Fortunately the curtains were pitch black and were layered few times so the person passing would have to cross the curtains several times before they actually reached the bath tub.

Minji covered her mouth with her hand as she chewed on the meat which was fried to the point where she was smiling in happiness.

"Everyone should be on their best behaviour when the king arrives. He won't be able to join today maybe tomorrow..." Junghoon spoke looking between Yoohseok and Minji.

"I know your majesty, we will be on our best behaviour." Yoohseok replied.

Hanuel was too busy in eating his meal.

Yoohseok kept eating his food silently, he kept his watch on Minji and made sure she was eating everything she wanted.
