Chapter 23

they all were standing in front of the gates with head down. their hands were together at the front as if they are sending someone away.

Yooha chuckled at the sight before put her hand on Duyun's shoulder. Aera couldn't help but take a look at her. she was warmer these days. her eyes changes for her opinion. Aera was glad that Nakyum make many different to her lady.

"take care all of you. I will come back" Yooha said before taking one last look on everyone there. her eyes immediately fall upon Nakyum who couldn't keep eyes with her.

"what all this commotion?" someone suddenly said.

Master Choi appears. he look at his daughter "where are you going?"

".... nowhere"

"are you gonna die? why they all look so sad?"

"it's nothing"

"..if you want to die, burn your body properly so no one will come here and disturb me about it"

their eyes widen in shocked and anger

"what are you talking about!" Sunoo speak up, glaring "why are you talking like that to your own daughter?!"

"why? is it wrong? I am just saying" he looked at Yooha once again "I wish you good life in hell" he turns and leaves.

her heart aches so bad. she might act like it's nothing much but...it's hurt her. it hurts more than when he beat her. Yooha smiles, turning around "I will head out first. take care and....Aera, check on my father once in awhile. also, Duyun....I hope you not forgetting to always check on Seungho"

"I won't forget, agasshi"

"good....Sunoo, take care okay?" Yooha ruffled his hair "send regards to your mother and grandfather" Sunoo stand on his tiptoed before planting a kiss on her lips.

"I will. take care....please come back" Yooha hummed and walk towards Nakyum "you too. don't let anyone bully you while I am not around" Yooha grabbed his hand "see you again"

she leave through the gate, just like she wish for but....her heart aching. Yooha climb her horse and racing to the destination.

Nakyum only can wish her the best. he wants her to come home as soon as possible. he already miss her.

<2 days later>

the crown prince who also name as Jaehyun burst into her mother chamber.

"mother! why are you doing this!" he shouted kneeling in front of her. his eyes are teary, hands shaking "h-how could you...." he felt betrayed. his own mother letting the only girl he love to the road of her death by herself.

"you know how much I love her!" he shouted making the other servants walked into the chamber, stopping him but he keep crying in front of his mother.

"look at me, my son" the queen answer calmly. she already prepared herself when she allow Yooha to go by herself. she knows what her son will do when he finally found out.

"that is her wish and I couldn't stop her. I forbid you from worrying so much about her. Yooha is a strong sword woman and I am sure she will come back safely"

"b-but! you could have send troops of army along with her. why would you s-"

"are you having a second thoughts of Yooha? if you want to be a good husband, you should trust your own future wife"

"b-but! you already broke the engagement"

the queen smiles "I have my own plan" Jaehyun looked at his mother unsure whether to believe or not.
