The Crown Prince look at his Crown Princess and he noticed how nervous she is. Princess Eon Jin try to calm herself and try to look normal even she feels that her heart is pounding inside.

This is their first night together as a married couple. Prince Tae Pyung smile because this is the first time that he saw his Princess' face closer. She so beautiful and her skin look so soft and smooth. But his smile faded when he remember what Lady Sora told him about Princess Eon Jin.

Princess Eon Jin look away and try to avoid his gazed because of shyness. She admit that eversince she saw her Prince, her heart beats abnormally. And she was so happy when her father told her that she can be his Crown Princess if she gave her best on the selection process. She smile as she thinking how the Crown Prince runs to her mind while giving her best on the selection process as a Crown Princess.

"Why are you smiling?" Prince Tae Pyung asked. Princess Eon Jin blushed as he caught her smiling. "Oh?" She said. Prince Tae Pyung look at her intently as he try to read her mind. "Nothing... I'm just thinking about my brothers... Your Highness." She lied. Prince Tae Pyung smirked as he look at her and Princess Eon Jin noticed it. "You're innocent beauty is can deceived even the smarter man." Prince Tae Pyung said. Princess Eon Jin look at his eyes and her smile faded. "What do you mean, Your Highness?" She asked. Prince Tae Pyung laugh and look away. He drink his alcohol before he speak again. "Your just like a Volcano... It's beautiful outside but there's something inside and can threaten anyone who come near to it... Anytime.." Prince Tae Pyung said. Princess Eon Jin trying to read his mind but she suddenly remember what he's brother told her. That the Crown Prince is a heartless and cold Prince. He also didn't like the fact that their father is close to the King so she must hide her true feelings towards the Crown Prince for her not to get hurt. She must hide her true self to protect herself by being use by the royal family.

Princess Eon Jin's eyes got widen when the crown prince suddenly touch her face. "As the princess and as the wife of the crown prince... Serve me tonight with your body, Princess..." Prince Tae Pyung said and he suddenly own her lips. Princess Eonjin got shocked. Prince Tae Pyung continue to kiss her in his most demanding way. Princess Eon Jin try to release her lips from him but he was so strong. With the tears on her eyes she give her best to push him and she make it escape from him. She stood up and wipe her lips. Prince Tae Pyung got shocked on her reaction. "You can be punished by rejecting my request, Princess... I know you already know that being the Princess of this kingdom, your body is mine!" Prince Tae Pyung said as he smirked and look at her but his heart soften when he saw her tears running down from her eyes. Princess Eon Jin didn't speak and look down on the floor. She immediately wipe her tears as she trying to relax herself. Prince Tae Pyung stood up and walk closer to her but Princess Eon Jin take one step backward. "Why? Are you afraid? You can never lure me, Princess... I know what kind of a lady you are... You're innocent as what you look but you're willing to give your body for this position... Am I right?" Prince Tae Pyung said and grab her on her shoulder. "Your Highness, I think you're mistaken me.." She said while looking at his eye. Prince Tae Pyung didn't listen to her and throw her on their marital bed. Prince Tae Pyung climb on top of her and Take off her hanbok harshly. "Please don't...." Princess Eon Jin said. Prince Tae Pyung ignore her and continue on his doing. He started to kiss her roughly and his grip tighten that's why Princess Eon Jin is hurting. He kiss her on her neck as he take off harshly her chest band. "Prince Tae Pyung please... Im begging you..." She said and she started to cry. Prince Tae Pyung feel her warm tears fall on his cheek and her body is shivering. Prince Tae Pyung look at her eyes and saw her nervousness and she's so afraid. Prince Tae Pyung immediately let go her hands and sit on the side of the bed.

Princess Eon Jin try to cover her half naked body and continue to cry on her fetal position. She couldn't believe this. That the only man she love will do this to her. Yes she admit that she's waiting this day to be with him. To make love with him but not to be forced by him. She knew that he's a cold blooded Prince but she really didn't expect this kind of treatment by him. She doesn't deserve this treatment, Eon Jin's thought. Her brother wad right, the Crown Prince is a self centered man and he's being far to the man she love.

She feel that a blanket throw at her and Prince Tae Pyung started to walk and went outside on her chamber. Princess Eon Jin released a breath of relief as she feel that she already alone in the room. "Crown Prince... Why?" She said as her tears continue to fall from her eyes.

Their first night together as a married couple is traumatic for her. Prince Tae Pyung stop as he's walking in the hallway of the crown Princess' chamber. He let out a deep sigh. "What did you do Tae Pyung?" He said to himself. He turn around and look at the door where the princess is. "Eon Jin.... Did I misjudged you?" He said.
