Chapter 18

The day passed, and the next morning when Y/N woke up, she noticed Taehyung was not beside her.

She freshened up and walked towards the kitchen, where Mr. Lee and the new chefs had returned.

She started cooking, her mind preoccupied with thoughts of the previous night's events.

After finishing in the kitchen, it was time for her duty in the library.

She walked towards it, greeting her friend, the librarian, upon entering.

Y/N began organizing the books, her mind still buzzing with curiosity.

After a few minutes, she approached the librarian and asked, "What's the name of Lord Taehyung's mother?"

The librarian looked around, ensuring no one else was nearby, and whispered, "Her name is Lalisa Manobal."

Y/N felt a chill run down her spine.

The name Lalisa Manobal was unfamiliar to her, and she was eager to learn more about this mysterious woman.

The librarian continued, "Prince Jimin's mother's name is Diana."

Y/N's eyes widened in surprise.

She had always assumed that Taehyung and Jimin were born to the same mother.

"What are you saying? They aren't born to the same mother?" Y/N asked, confused.

The librarian nodded. "That's right. But you mustn't tell anyone; this information is forbidden."

Y/N nodded, her mind racing with questions.

She returned to her work, but her thoughts were consumed by the revelations about Lalisa Manobal.

Who was she? Why was her name so carefully guarded? And what did this mean for Taehyung and Jimin?

Determined to find out more, Y/N decided she would investigate further.

She knew that understanding the past could help her navigate the complexities of the present, especially with the tensions surrounding Taehyung, Jimin, and Jisoo.

As she continued her duties in the library, she kept an eye out for any books or documents that might contain more information about Lalisa Manobal.

Her curiosity and determination to uncover the truth grew stronger with each passing moment.

The next day, Y/N approached the librarian again, her curiosity about Taehyung and the royal family growing stronger.

"Why doesn't Lord Taehyung want to marry?" she asked, her voice filled with genuine concern.

The librarian looked around cautiously before replying, "Because if a king marries a girl, he must not love her. And Lord Taehyung despises women in general, but he’s different with you. I think he loves you."

Y/N nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. "Yes, he loves me."

The librarian’s expression turned serious. "That's why he won't marry you. Because he loves you."

Y/N pouted in frustration. "Why is there a rule like that?"

The librarian sighed. "It's not a rule; it's a curse."

Y/N's eyes widened in confusion. "A curse?"

The librarian nodded. "It's a curse by the Fire Goddess, Lalisa Manobal."

Y/N felt a chill run down her spine. "But why?"

The librarian looked down, hesitating. "I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to say."
