"You know Ara." The King sighed, "Seungcheol is still grieving over his lost soulmate. He needs to marry and attain the throne, it's his responsibility."
"Will his soulmate not reincarnate?" Mr. Kim looked up.
"She was cursed, we all know that."

"Oh, so you're the one who tried to leave this kingdom because you thought the Choi Empire gonna treat you better?" Jaejun laughed, looking at the worn out man standing in front of him, caged by the guards.
"Another day, another crazy fool." Yeonjin rolled her eyes.
"How about we burn him alive?" Hyejeong smirked, "It would be so fun."
"No darling." Junwoo stood up, "He wanted to get a taste of the ice lineage right? Guards! Throw him in the ice room and let him suffocate to death through it."
The guards bowed as they dragged the man away who was begging for mercy.
Welcome to the Phoenix Ashes, situated right beside the doors of hell. It was supposed to be a gateway to the brutal after life but the greed of it's rulers made it worse than hell.
Gradually, Phoenix Ashes turned into a shelter for complete psychotic monsters who just hated the entire Choi Clan out of jealousy.
As they say, every shining thing is not gold. Similarly, this luxurious dynasty didn't even have an ounce of humane mentality.
"Huh." Jaejun sighed, "When the fuck will we get to dethrone the Choi Clan? WHEN?!"
"Hail the supreme rulers of Phoenix." A messenger stepped into the immense meeting hall, "Ha Jiyoung, who was sent to secretly destroy a part of the Choi Empire, is back. Can we bring him in?"
"Bring him?" Yeonjin frowned.
"Yes, your highness." The messenger bowed.
"Fine, call him here." Junwoo ordered.
Soon enough, a few guards helped Jiyoung to enter the hall. His condition was alarming. The rulers stared at him, his arms were missing, his eyes were barely open and no one knew if he was breathing or not.
The guards turned him around to display his back which contained a message.

"We found him at the border of Choi Empire and Phoenix Ashes. Rest of them are probably dead." The guards stated.
"These fuckers." Jaejun scoffed, "They just know how to degrade our name."
"Your highness, shall we take him for supernatural medication?"
"Will it bring back his ability to give us any information?" Hyejeong asked.
"Sorry but that's not possible."
"Then let him die, we don't need him." Junwoo ordered as the guards dragged the already passed out man away.
"Enough is enough." Hyeonjeon stated, "We need to do something fast."
"Jaejun?" Junwoo chuckled, "I think it's time for us to use our master plan."
