"The Crown Prince's move"
Side story
"You can't have a good woman twice, Your Royal Highness... That's why make sure to clear your thoughts and hold on to the treasure that is infront of your eyes." Woo Sung said. "It's that your reason why you wanted to see me?" Tae Pyung said. Woo Sung sip on his tea. "Honestly, yes... I'm here to make sure Princess Eon Jin will not get hurt because of you and Lady Sora. If she's going to tell me to get her away from here.. I will do it without hesitation to make sure she will live her life happy and no regrets." Woo Sung said in his serious bariton voice. Tae Pyung clench his fist and look at his cousin intently. Woo Sung stood up and take a bow, "That's all, Your Royal Highness... I will take my leave now..." Woo Sung said. He was about to leave when Tae Pyung suddenly speak.
"Who said that to you that I will let her leave?" Tae Pyung said. "Hyung, you must know where you stand. The Crown Princess is my wife. And this is my word for you.... I will not let anyone who will take her away from me." He said. Woo Sung look at him. "It's not your responsibility for her happiness.... It's my job as her husband to make sure she's happy and safe...." Tae Pyung said. Woo Sung smirked, "Before you tell me about that, you must know what is Princess Eon Jin to you, what her place in your heart... Your Royal Highness..." Woo Sung said.
"I'm willing to risk everything for her... And that's my answer! I hope you stop looking at her with those wistful eyes..." Tae Pyung said in his serious bariton voice.

The sunlight cover his face but his broad shoulders somewhat familiar to her. "I got you, My Princess..." Tae Pyung said. They eyes met and the surrounding seems stop. Their heart beats as one for the first time. "Your Royal Highness..." She unknowingly called. Tae Pyung smile while looking at her and he pull her waist closer to him.

"Thank You for catching me, Your Royal Highness..." Eon Jin said and she let out a small smile. Tae Pyung smile with his dimples. "Now you know I'm willing to catch you..." Tae Pyung said. Eon Jin look at him with puzzlement, "What do you mean?" She said. Tae Pyung smile mischievously as he look at her. He move his face closer to her and Eon Jin got startled because it's only an inch between them and she already feel her heart is pounding. "I mean, don't try to control your feelings, Princess Eon Jin... I feel the same way just like what you're feeling right now, My Princess...." Tae Pyung said while looking at her without any blink. Eon Jin couldn't speak and Tae Pyung smile as he find her cute when she's blushing. He pinch her on her nose, "Yah!" She said. "You're cute..." He said. Eon Jin rolled her eyes and she immediately walk away because of shyness she felt. But she smiling while walking towards to where her chamber is.
Tae Pyung look at her from a far and let out a small laughters. "Thanks for my dear Halmeoni... I have a pretty and kind Crown Princess.... I won't let you go, Eon Jin... This is only the start of courting you..." Tae Pyung said.
