[Six months later]

"So the finance will be handled by Sunoo, i want to know what goes inside our palace. If we do take tax from the people, we need to give them a good service. Also, give me the list of the Royals who take lands from the people for no reason. They should be punished." Yoohseok spoke.

"What does the queen say?" Asked Jinsang looking at Minji.

"I agree with him." The purple haired girl spoke with a nod.

"I will prepare the list." Said Sunoo looking at Yoohseok.

Hwayoung slightly leaned towards Seojun. "You must be so proud of him." She whispered.

"Of course, I am." Seojun replied with a smile.

Hwayoung gave her a nod. Getting up from her seat she walked towards Hanuel.

Seojun looked at Yoohseok who was ordering the ministers on their duties.

To see that the decision she made due to the fear of the society and her husband, she felt peace and happiness swelling inside her heart seeing the positive outcome of her decision.

She smiled knowing Yoohseok had Minji and Sakura. They had each other, Minji and Sakura had developed respect for each other.

They would quarrel sometimes but it never resulted into a huge argument.

Seojun knew that although Minji acts tough towards Sakura she also started getting along with her as a friend and she would try to protect her whenever it was needed.

Everything was on track.

_

"I don't want anyone of you to make any mistake-" Yoohseok's sentence was cut off when he heard Seojun coughing loudly.

All of them turned their heads towards Seojun.

The black haired woman placed her hand over her chest, she gently rubbed it as she tried not to cough.

The maids quickly gathered around her. Hwayoung walked towards her.

"Are you alright?!" Yoohseok exclaimed, pacing towards Seojun.

"Yes..." Seojun replied, she covered her mouth with a cloth which was given by a maid to her.

Minji and Sakura had a worried look plastered on their faces.

"What is this?" Yoohseok rested his hand over Seojun's shoulder as he took the cloth from her hand, he saw blood on it.

"Let's go to the physician." He spoke, Seojun couldn't answer him, she kept coughing, her eyes were tearing up.

Yoohseok walked near her and picked her up in his arms.

He heard a lot of gasps.

"You cannot pick her up. You're a king. Right now she isn't on any position. The maids will do their job." Ryeo spoke making an eye contact with Yoohseok.

"She is my mother. She doesn't need any position, idiot!" Yoohseok replied before walking away, carrying Seojun in his arms.

"Idiot!" Sunoo yelled pushing Ryeo as he followed Yoohseok.

Minji and Sakura followed Yoohseok, others followed them.

••••••

Yoohseok bit on his lower lip as he paced around, biting on his nails nervously.

"A king is not supposed to bite on his nails-"

"Shut up!" Yoohseok yelled at Ryeo, he clenched his fists.

"Ryeo, why don't you go and wait in your chamber." Hwayoung spoke.

"Yes, instead of annoying him, you should leave from here." The purple haired girl spoke locking her gaze with Ryeo.

Hwayoung gripped over Hanuel's upper arm and dragged him away from the people.

"It's weird."

"What...?" Asked Hanuel.

"Minji's stomach..." Hwayoung whispered looking at Minji.

"What's weird? She's pregnant." Hanuel replied.

"I know but it just looks weird... I don't know..." Hwayoung whispered hesitantly.

Hanuel averted his gaze at Minji's stomach. He stared at it for few minutes thinking on what his mother said.

[After an hour]

Physician walked outside, he was met with Yoohseok who started shooting questions at him.

"She is alright now, I've given her some herbs...-"

"Did someone poison her?" Asked Yoohseok.

"No, it doesn't look like that. You can meet her now-"

Before the physician could complete his sentence Yoohseok walked inside the chamber.

_

Walking towards Seojun, he sat beside her on the bed. She smiled looking at Yoohseok. "I'm fine." She spoke with a slow nod.

"I saw the blood." Yoohseok whispered in a low voice.

"Cough with blood. There is nothing to worry about right now. Now I'm feeling better." Seojun spoke, she gripped over Yoohseok's hand and intertwined their fingers.

She locked her gaze with Yoohseok. Her eyes averted to his nervous gulp and then his furrowed eyebrows, he blinked few times before his jaw unclenched and his tears started flowing on his face.

"It... s-scared me." He stuttered breaking into a sob as he brushed his face messily with the back of his hand.

"Oh no...I'm alright now, it's alright..." Seojun replied, she gently sat up and cupped Yoohseok's face.

"I understand you, don't worry i won't leave you this soon." Seojun whispered with a slight chuckle in the end, Yoohseok felt a little better when Seojun herself said those words.

"You're a grown up. Your nose will start running if you don't stop crying." Seojun spoke brushing his tears with the help of her thumbs.

"Alright..." Yoohseok whispered gently pushing away her hands. "I'm glad you're feeling better, you should take a rest now." Yoohseok spoke with a smile.

"What if the others wants to meet me?" Asked the black haired woman.

"They can wait, take a rest." Yoohseok replied, standing up, he gave a bow to her before leaving the chamber.

_

Yoohseok walked outside and everyone was staring at him.

"She is doing better now. No need to worry." Yoohseok spoke.

Minji and Sakura sighed in relief, so did the others.

Ryeo somehow looked unhappy but Yoohseok didn't care.

"We should continue our discussion. Sunoo will stay here." Yoohseok spoke looking at Jinsang.

"Yes your majesty." Jinsang gave him a bow, as they all started walking towards the court except Sunoo.
