Chapter 16

"Good morning, my lord" Seungho said walking through the sliding door and sat down on the cushion facing Yooha's father.

"...what are you doing here?" he asked, not really liking Seungho.

"I hear that you agree to King marriage arrangement for Yooha and the crown prince"

"....is there something wrong with that?" Lord Choi said looking at Seungho with narrowed forehead.

"didn't Yooha refuse to get marry?" he asked acting oblivious as Lord Choi already looking back down on his papers

"then? I am her father. I can decided her future"

"but its her decisions. you can't force her"

"Seungho, don't interfere my family business. you better just visit your I'll father than interfere my business" Seungho forehead wrinkled, getting angry at his father mention.

"Yooha was talented woman. she can be the court woman"

"that's isn't enough. it was nothing compared to being crown prince's wife" her father immediately answers.

"You can't marry her!" Seungho stand up and pointed his sword at Lord Choi "I dare you to continue marry her off" he hissed.

Lord Choi calmly looked at him "for what? girls supposed to marry someone after they hit the ages. Yooha already pass that" Seungho grip tighten.

"don't tell me that you want to marry her" he said, snorting "your family is way lower than us. don't even dreams of it" Lord Choi said and stand up, approaching Seungho

"even if she actually want to marry people lower than us, I won't let her marry you. the nobleman that into sodomy" he said with the wicked smile ever.

"and you don't deserve to be her father. the most selfish guy ever. you don't even deserve to be inspector general" he spat in anger as well making master Choi blood boiled.

"father!" Yooha shouted coming closer to them before stand in front of Seungho. "I apologise for what Seungho said" she said looking straight in his eyes "please consider of punishing him" Master Choi snorted before slapped her right across the face with full strength.

Seungho eyes widen in rage before he was about to choked the older man in front of him but Yooha grab his arm, stopping him.

Yooha pale skin cause red mark appear on her face.

"I wish you a good day, father" she bowed her head before dragging Seungho along with her to outside.

as soon they arrives outside, Yooha turns around and look straight at Seungho, displease with what he did

"what do you think you are doing?! he can capture you! do you know that?!" Yooha punched his chest before looking at him, tears escaping her eyes.

"do you want to die that badly?!" she smacked his arm. Seungho grabbed her arms, stopping her "I won't die. we promise each other that I won't die before you" Seungho wipe the tears her tears with his thumb, cupping her face "and I am gonna keep the promise forever" he trapped her head against his chest before plant a kiss on top of her head.

"you have....to keep the promise" Yooha mumbled as smile appearing on his face "I will" he whisper back, holding her tenderly.

Yooha sit down on the ground, looking up at the stars shining in the skies. she was hiding on the corner of Choi's residence yard, not wanting attention from the other servants.
