Minsook was snoring loudly, his peaceful sleep was disturbed by a loud knocking on his door.

He opened his eyes in a hurry, panicking he woke his wife who was also sleeping beside him.

Ina opened her eyes and gripped on his upper arm. "What happened?!" She exclaimed in a worried manner.

"Open the door!"

They both heard a voice of a man.

"He sounds like minister Sunoo." Ina whispered.

"Yes.." Minsook got up and walked towards the door, he opened it and Sunoo entered inside with his guards.

"I apologise for disturbing you both. I want you both to come with us." Sunoo spoke looking between the couple.

"W-Why... Did we do something?" Asked Ina, she stood up and started fiddling with her fingers in nervousness.

"Just follow us." Sunoo spoke.

•••••••

Minsook opened his eyes to find himself in a new chamber.

Him and his wife had a blindfold when they were guided at this unknown place.

"Minister, let us go. Are you going to kill us?" He asked locking his gaze with Sunoo.

"Don't worry, the only thing i want you both to do is, sleep together. That means you both are going to have sex tonight, make your wife pregnant. You will give the child to us after it is born. Till then you both will stay here. We will take good care of you both..."

Sunoo removed his sword and walked towards Ina, "And if this truth is out, you both will be dead. Why would you both live in poverty? We are giving you gold in return for the rest of your life..." Sunoo smiled looking between Ina and Minsook.

"Gold...?" Ina whispered, her eyes lighted up slightly with a hope.

"Yes, gold. So are you both ready?" Asked Sunoo.

The couple gave him a nod with a smile, "May i ask why we're doing this...? Does the king has some fault?" Asked Minsook.

"Don't ask questions and no, the king doesn't have any fault. I'm leaving now, have fun." Sunoo spoke, keeping his sword in his sword holder he left them alone.

[The next day]

"The king is here, bow down for him!" The guard announced. Yoohseok walked towards his mother's chamber.

Once he reached inside, he gave a bow to Seojun and walked towards his seat.

"Where is Minji?" Asked Seojun.

"She...will be here. She was tired so she needs some time to get ready."

"What?" Seojun blurted out placing her hands on the table. "Why didn't you wait with her then, you could have taken more time too right? You're covering up for her? This is a huge responsibility. Since you're the king you must know your own hardwork-"

"Yes mother. I understand what you're trying to tell me but-"

"The queen is here, bow down!"

They both heard the guard and sighed in relief.

Minji entered inside the chamber, giving a bow to Seojun and Yoohseok she sat beside the king.

Sakura entered inside and mirrored Minji's action before taking her seat.

"Leave us alone." Seojun spoke looking at the guards.

_

"I invited Yoohseok here to discuss about an heir. Did he tell you anything about it?" Asked Seojun looking at Minji.

"Uh...-"

"And...what is that?" Seojun spoke looking at Minji's collarbone which had a bright red mark on it.

Yoohseok and Sakura looked at Minji.

"Cover it up." Seojun spoke.

Minji nervously covered the spot with her hand, "I will..." She whispered.

Yoohseok leaned towards Minji's ear, "Karma..." He whispered before backing away with a smirk. Minji rolled her eyes at him.

"So about an heir..." Seojun spoke.

"Yes... I want a boy..." The purple haired girl spoke locking her gaze with Seojun.

Yoohseok furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"What if it's a girl?" Asked Seojun raising an eyebrow.

"I don't think i can-" Minji was about to complete her sentence but Yoohseok gripped over her hand tightly and shook his head as a 'no'.

"Mother, she won't have any problem if it's a girl..." Yoohseok spoke with a smile looking at Seojun.

"Did i ask you? She is a queen, she can answer." Seojun spoke sternly, shutting Yoohseok.

"Yes Minji continue..." Seojun spoke in a calm voice.

All Yoohseok could do was pray inside his heart that Minji wouldn't say anything against a girl child.

"I'm good with a girl child..." The purple haired girl spoke with a smile.

"Oh...? I thought you didn't wanted one." Seojun replied furrowing her eyebrows.

"No... It doesn't matter..."

"Alright, what about you Sakura?" Asked Seojun.

"Your highness... I don't want to have any children... Since the queen will have one... I think it's enough..." Sakura spoke.

"What? It's a rule that-"

"Mother..." Yoohseok spoke again gaining a glare from his mother.

"Let's not force Sakura. She doesn't want to have children..." Yoohseok spoke, his hand involuntarily went over Sakura's hand, he gently gripped on it, making Sakura blush slightly.

The purple haired girl averted her gaze over Yoohseok's hand which was over Sakura's hand.

She gripped over his right hand and brought it towards herself.

Yoohseok quickly gripped over Minji's hand too.

"Why are you taking their sides. I don't understand? They both can answer, they both are mature..." Seojun spoke, "If i don't take their sides, who will?" Yoohseok spoke with his eyebrows raised.

Seojun sighed and gave him a slow nod. "Great." She whispered. "You may leave..." Seojun spoke with a smile looking between the three of them.

Yoohseok gave her a bow.

They all stood up and gave a bow to Seojun.

Minji and Sakura moved forward.

Yoohseok walked towards the door and looked back at Seojun, "I love you and respect you." He spoke.

"I know." Seojun replied with a smile.

Yoohseok gave her a nod before he went on his way.
