•Choi Palace•

"Seungcheol?! Please bless your father for once." Sunwoo scoffed, "Attain the throne! I could have forced you to do so a long time ago but I don't want to use power over my own son."

"Dad I've already told you. I've no problem with attaining the throne. I'm already trained well." Seungcheol stared at his father, "All I'm telling you is that I won't marry."

"You can't attain the throne without marrying." Ara intervened, "You need your queen or king by your side."

"And what have I said about it? Why do you all need to keep reminding me about my departed soulmate?"

"It's you who can't forget her. She was cursed by the superior powers, why the hell can't you understand that?" Ara became outrageous, "Even if she was alive, you couldn't have married her. The only way was for her to be reincarnated which is not going to happen."

"How do you know that?" Seungcheol debated.

"BECAUSE SHE WAS CURSED FOR HER VERY OWN SINS!" Ara yelled, "There's no way, heaven would reincarnate a cursed soul."

"I don't care." Seungcheol rolled his eyes, "I'll wait for her, I promised her to do so. The throne is not more important than her." He left his parents' room by slamming the door shut.

"Ara? Is it really true that she won't reincarnate?" Sunwoo felt vulnerable.

"Oh lord, that's not possible at all. The Moon Goddess has already declared that she won't be given a life again and it's better to keep a venomous soul dead." Ara scoffed, "I'm so done with all this unnecessary drama."

"Oh god please have mercy on our old retired souls." Sunwoo begged, "Can't we just transfer the throne to Seokmin?"

"That isn't possible, your highness." Jiwook stepped into the room and bowed, "Sorry for interrupting you."

"It's okay Jiwook." Ara nodded, "Do you have any solution for this?"

"I'm sorry your highness but we tried everything." Jiwook looked down.

Sunwoo sighed, "I don't want to lose my calm."

"Don't worry your highness, I'll find a way out. As the queen of this kingdom, I'll take the responsibility to fix everything." Ara vowed.

"I trust you." Sunwoo smiled at his wife.

"Uh-" Seungcheol welped as he bumped into someone while walking through the hallways of the palace.

"What's your problem?" The ethereal man scrunched his brows.

"You are the only problem I've in my life, Yoon Jeonghan." Seungcheol rolled his eyes.

"Nothing new." Jeonghan scoffed.

Seungcheol shrugged, not in the mood to have another argument with the most annoying person he had ever met in his entire life. As he began to walk away, he heard a whistle from behind.
