[The next day]
Yoohseok opened his eyes when he heard a loud voice.
He looked around his surrounding and found the king and queen standing near the door. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.
Slowly sitting up, he realised that it was not his chamber.
"What happened...?" He asked looking at the king.
His eyes landed on Sunoo and Ryeo who walked inside the chamber.
"What were you doing at Hwayoung's chamber?" Asked Junghoon.
"What...?" Yoohseok whispered.
"Your majesty why don't you arrest him, isn't misbehaving with the king's wife a sin?" Said Ryeo.
"We don't need to arrest him." Seojun spoke clasping her hands behind her back.
"Arrest him." Junghoon ordered.
•••••••
Yoohseok rolled his eyes when he was dragged towards the court by the guards.
"Wait!"
Yoohseok looked at Minji who walked towards them.
She walked towards Yoohseok.
She rested her hand over Yoohseok's face. "Are you alright?" She asked looking at Yoohseok's lip's corner, which was slightly swollen. The blood was probably dried.
"Yes, I'm alright." Yoohseok replied with a slow nod, his lips turned into a smile.
"Your highness, we need to go." The guard spoke looking at Minji.

Minji sat beside Yoohseok, this was her second time seeing Yoohseok getting arrested, it did bother her alot.
"I didn't do anything... They're accusing me for no reason." Yoohseok whispered looking at Minji.
"Your majesty, he definitely harrased my mother, what was he doing at her chamber at night?!" Hanuel exclaimed walking towards Yoohseok as if he was about to hit him.
Yoohseok sighed and looked up at Hanuel without any expression.
"I heard Yoohseok talking about harrassing Hanuel's mother when we were at the table, he was very drunk..." Duho spoke looking at Junghoon.
"Do you have anything to say? Aren't you ashamed?" Asked Junghoon looking at Yoohseok.
"I didn't do anything! I don't even remember what happened last night, but i cannot harras her, i respect her alot..." Yoohseok explained making an eye contact with Junghoon.
Yoohseok looked at Minji who rested her hand over his shoulder. "I trust you..." She whispered in a low voice.
"Your majesty..."
Everyone looked at Hwayoung when she got up from her seat and walked beside Hanuel.
"Since i am the victim of harrasment i would like to say something-"
"No! You cannot. Go back to your seat." Ryeo spoke raising his eyebrows.
Seojun furrowed her eyebrows, "She can speak. Do not interfere." She ordered sternly looking at Ryeo.
Hwayoung smiled at Seojun before speaking, "Yoohseok was drunk, he came to my chamber to warn me about the other people who were going to harrass me, I agree that he was drunk, he couldn't even walk properly but he didn't had any bad intentions towards me. He saved me from those men, there were three men. Please majesty, don't arrest him, he saved me from those men..." She explained.
Hanuel chuckled and clapped his hands before speaking, "Mother... Are you alright? Why are taking his side?! Now I'm doubting you, do you have those kind of intentions for him?" Hanuel spoke raising an eyebrow.
"Hanuel, watch what you're saying." The king spoke.
"I am telling you what happened, the three unknown men tried to harrass me and Yoohseok-"
"Shut up!" Hanuel yelled at Hwayoung. "I don't want to hear your fake story, just say it that you're tired of the king!" He yelled at her.
"What is wrong with you...she is your mother..." Yoohseok spoke looking at Hanuel.
"I don't want to hear anything from any of you!" Hanuel yelled looking at Yoohseok, he paced towards the door and left the court fuming in anger.
_
"Release him..." Junghoon spoke looking at the guards, he gave the order after an hour when he was sure that Yoohseok was actually innocent, Ryeo and Duho were very upset after Yoohseok was released.
Hwayoung walked towards Yoohseok and Minji, she gave a bow to Yoohseok, "Thank you." She spoke with a small smile.
Yoohseok gave her a bow in return before he started walking away.
Minji gave a bow to Hwayoung and followed Yoohseok.
The purple haired girl wrapped her hand around Yoohseok's upper arm, "Don't... The king and the queen are still behind us..." Yoohseok whispered, he gently removed her hand.
"Your highness!"
They both looked at Duho who walked beside Yoohseok.
"What...?" Asked Yoohseok halting at a place.
"I was wondering... If the Crown Princess knows about your upcoming second marriage." He spoke looking between Minji and Yoohseok.
"Uh... I was going to tell her but..." Yoohseok awkwardly smiled at Minji. His gaze fell on the ground.
Minji smiled at Duho. "I do know about his second marriage. You don't have to worry about it." She spoke with a smile before she looked at Yoohseok, "Let's go..." She whispered.
Yoohseok gave her a nod and started walking.
Duho kept staring at their back with a disappointment of not being able to cause an argument between them.
_
"I apologise for not telling you... I was going to tell you soon..." Yoohseok explained himself with an apologetic look.
"No worries. Now i know." Minji replied with a smile, she rested her head over Yoohseok's shoulder.
"Are you not upset...?" Yoohseok whispered wrapping his arms around his knees.
After they left the court they decided to sit together near the river.
"No, I'm not upset. I am jealous. I think it will be difficult for me in the future..." The purple haired girl whispered with a sigh. "My father was also forced to get married for the second time..." She rested her hand over Yoohseok's upper arm. "I know you must have opposed it... right?" Asked Minji looking up at Yoohseok.
Yoohseok's eyes averted on Minji's lips, he nervously gulped down noticing the closeness of their faces.
"Yes, right... I don't want to get married but the king is pressuring me." He replied sadly.
"You don't have to worry, i do not have anything against you for getting married. I might hate the king for forcing you to get married-" Minji bit on her tongue stopping herself from continuing the sentence when she realised what she said about the king. She slightly backed away, "I apologise..." She whispered in a low voice.
Yoohseok shook his head slightly, "It is alright..." He spoke gripping on her hands.
The purple haired girl had a shy smile on her cheeks when Yoohseok held her hands gently.
