The Enchantress

101.

No One's POV.

The crowd went quiet as Chaeyoung took off the arrow on his body. He looked at Mina and put his hand on her cheek.

"No. Chae. Don't you dare. Don't you say goodbye!"

"Mina..."

"No! I won't hear it! No! You will not leave me!"

"I won't leave you. I'll stay with you until my last breath..."

"No... Please no..." Mina hugged Chaeyoung now crying. "Where's the doctor!"

"I'm sorry..."

"No! Save your breath." Mina looked at Chaeyoung. "I love you, Chae. You hear me. I love you so much."

"If you love me so much, then Marry me." Still kneeling, Chaeyoung straighten his body took hold of Mina's hand and showed her a golden ring encrusted with diamonds.

Mina was shocked seeing the ring but she was more shocked when she saw as he straighten his body that there's no blood on his clothes.

Her eyes went wide and she suddenly stood. The royal guards dispersed showing Mina and Chaeyoung in plain view of the crowd.

The crowd then chanted. "Please be our Queen."

Mina was so surprised that the crowd was into this as well. She looked at the royals who were all smiling even her Papa and Sana.

"You all knew?"

Chaeyoung stood and went closer to her.

"I'm sorry if I scared you. It's all an act. See there." Chae pointed at one of the castle's tower where Tzuyu was waving while holding his bow.

She faced Chaeyoung and punched him in the chest. "You're unbelievable!"

"Ouch." The crowd laughed but went on silent as Mina looked at them with her piercing eyes.

"Only a Queen could do that to a King." Momo said making the crowd laugh.

Chaeyoung went closer again to Mina and took hold of her hand.

"Indeed. Only you could punch me, only you could hurt me. I have loved you ever since I laid my eyes on you. I have searched through the whole country for you for 3 years, I have waited to be your lover and I'm willing to wait for you until you become my Queen."

"Please be our Queen." The crowd said once again.

"My dear, how long should you pretend that you won't say yes to the first and only man you ever loved?" King Myun said.

Chaeyoung once again kneeled and raised the ring. "My Love, Mina, will you marry me?"

Few seconds passed she didn't say anything, which made Chaeyoung sweat. Fear is slowly creeping up to him for each second that passes.

To his surprise Mina turned her back on him and walked towards the stairs. The gasp from the then silent crowd was heard.

Chaeyoung slowly stood watching Mina walk away. His hand slowly lowers his hand that holds the ring.

Before Mina could reach the stairs she turned and faced Chaeyoung. "You're not the only one who could act."

Chaeyoung was slow to react. Mina smiled and was now running towards him. Chaeyoung smiled widely and ran towards Mina and caught her in his arms.

"Yes, I will. Yes, I will marry you." Mina said slightly panting.

Chaeyoung took hold of her hand raised it and slipped the ring on her finger. He then hugged her and kissed her.

The crowd was slow to react as well. Not sure what's happening. But when Chaeyoung put the ring on her finger, that's when they all cheered.

They kissed long and when their lips parted. "You scared me there for a second."

"That's what you get for scaring me as well."

"I guess the next event that we need to plan would be a wedding. Gosh, I never knew this could be so tiring." Momo said.

The Kingdom of Twice along with their guests feasted that night. They all celebrated King Chaeyoung's coronation as well as his and Princess Mina's engagement. Everyone was happy and contented.

That night before they slept, King Chaeyoung was staring at the eyes of his lover, and soon to be his Queen.

"I love you with all of me Mina."

"I love you with all that I am too, Chae."
