POV: Queen Noh Ha-kyung
Why am I still here, I know l'm expelled for my fathers crimes, I know she's a woman and not a man, being here i'm putting myself more in danger, more than anything I know she's not in love with me but with her tutor. what's the point of me being here in this palace even though it has given me the best memories I would always cherish for the rest of life. Huh, the memories.. first time I ever laid eyes on her majesty..
She's very handsome... (flustured Queen interrupting her own thoughts) ..and kind, even with treason she spared my father and only expelled me, if it where of someone else they would've murdered both of us and she's so loyal, she had no obligation to reveal her secret to me but she did, she was ready to accept if I decided to use it against her. What kind of king would ever do that to her subject? and to protect my friend, making sure the country is out of corruption so the people can live free and prosper! making her step brother who's her rival the king?! she's ready to give up her thrown every step of the way. To do the right thing for this kingdom. Now, who's more capable of ruling this country than her?
oh my poor king, lost most of her family to this thrown, I understand her wanting to run away! I understand her wanting to live her life as freely as she can with the person she's in love with.. (tears roll down from the queens eye to her cheeks as she immersed herself in thoughts of her king being in love with someone else, wipes her tears to gather her thoughts ones again..) I don't care what anyone says, I don't mind if my own people or the whole country is against the king, I was naive before, not knowing what's going on and how she's planing to save the country but now, I have an opportunity to support the king. I can't have her take another queen or concubine to continue the line, that will reveal her truth, I'll play my part just as before and support her in anyway possible for whatever she plans to do next. I cannot leave her here alone when she's surrounded with people who wants to dethrone her or the worst, murder her. I will be in the palace, even when her heart belongs to someone else, I'm not going anywhere even if she tells me to.
The kings court:
Queen enters the kings chamber "my queen"
my queen, she still calls me that, "my king.." the way she looks at me, sometimes I get butterflies. why does she have to be so kind to me? why does she look at me like the way she does, it's making me feel something.. wait, no. It's all in my head, how can we, she's in love with someone else, wait, no, even then she's a woman, huh my brain hurts.. she stumbles as she walks closer and there waiting her majesty to catch her before the fall, just like the first time they embraced each other. Their eyes meet again as if they're meeting for the first time. how can a magical moment happen twice in the same way yet still feel like its the first time and gives those same butterflies AGAIN.. but this time it's not only the queen who felt the butterflies...
"My queen, are you okay" the king gathered herself still holding on to the queen who's flustered as always.. "y-yes, I'm sorry I u-uh I'm so clumsy.." why do I have to be this clumsy in-front of her. "it's fine my queen, i'm glad you're okay" here we go again, being kind to me ones again and helping me when I came here to help her. wait, I'm not standing on my own, she never let go of me, her arms is around my waist, uh I have to get out of my thoughts, I can't be doing this, not in front of her. (queen stands still on her feet as she lets go of the kings arms)
Both sit in-front of each other as the queen serves the tea and they both start talking at the same time and here again the eyes meet.. flustered hearts trying to avoid each others eyes "you speak my queen" "no your majesty, you speak first" why is she making me fluster all the time.. her thoughts interrupted with kings words "I spoke to queen mother, she would like us to visit her tomorrow, I uh, I know I don't have any authority to ask you to still follow your duties, I'm sorry to put you in these situations quite often, please understand this is not my intention, I never want to hurt you, if in another world, everything would be different" different? how would it be different? why would she say that? she's still my king even if she doesn't accept me as her queen, I would do anything she asks and yet here we are.. huh, wait why did i say it like that? am I?!! NO.. NOOO... I can't be, I'm feeling all this because she's kind to me and my father, she's doing good for the people, she's... huh SHE'S A WOMAN. I can't feel anything for her, besides she's in love with someone else... why she's in love with someone else hurts me more than that she's not a man?!!
"my queen.. can you hear me, are you okay?" her voice is full of concern, oh her lips is soo... wait no, what did she say. "yes. y-yes, I'm listening your majesty, it's that I don't mind visiting.. and you don't have to worry about me, I'm here because I want to. Actually, queen mother spoke to me when you were unconscious, she did tell me how glad she was that I stayed, it stabilized all the rumours that could potentially hurt you and I'm glad I did too." uh her silence is killing me... "my king, what you're trying to do is something no one in this dynasty ever tried to do for years, not many cared before you, all everyone wants was the crown and not the actual duty that comes with it, rather all they focus on was superficial rules that hurts everyone. Now you have the opportunity to change that and I'm here to support you with anything you want from me" Why is she still quite? does she hate me that much to not let me be a part of what she's doing? does she not trust me? well, how could she, I'm a daughter of someone who committed treason.
"my king, I know you have all the reason not to trust me after what my father did to your kingdom supporting your grandfather for years, he's not a bad person, all he thought was doing right by his clan and to be in good grace with your grandfather and this kingdom but please give me a chance to rectify his mistakes, at least until you get out of this mess. Everyone in the kingdom rejoices your action but some powerful leaders are still against you as it affects their ability to control and corrupt people. I know I didn't understand many things that you did in the past but let me play my part as queen to keep your identity safe. If I'm gone, they would want you to remarry and I'm not sure how that would end. All I want to know is for you to be safe and not murdered, when you're safe then i'm ready to accept any decision you make after."
Well I never thought I would say all this out loud to her but finally I did, why is she still not saying anything? I wanted to stay strong but I'm unable to control my tears, How else I could say I don't have any agenda behind this and all I need is for her to be safe? Does she hate me that much?
"my queen" the king hugs her as the tears fall on her shoulder...
