Chapter 20

Y/N made her way to the kitchen, her mind preoccupied with thoughts of Taehyung and the impending marriage.

As she walked through the palace corridors, she noticed a door slightly ajar.

Curious, she peered inside and saw a woman sitting quietly, muttering incantations under her breath.

"May I come in?" Y/N asked politely.

The woman, who looked every bit the part of a witch, nodded.

"I didn't expect you to arrive so soon," she said, her tone tinged with a hint of amusement.

Y/N was intrigued but confused. "Can I know who you are and what you're doing in the palace?"

The witch's smile remained enigmatic. "I'm a witch. My presence here is not something you need to be concerned with."

Y/N's curiosity only deepened. "You know magic?"

The witch nodded, her eyes glinting with a mysterious light. "Yes, I know magic."

Y/N hesitated but then asked, "Do you know how to break the curse? And do you know anything about the Fire Goddess?"

The witch's smile widened into a smirk. "I'm not allowed to divulge everything, but I can certainly help you find what you seek."

Y/N's eyes lit up with hope. "Please, tell me what you know."

The witch leaned in slightly, her voice low and confidential.

"In the library, there's a book titled 'Prohibited Past.' If you find that book, it will reveal everything about the past and how to break the curse."

Y/N's face brightened with determination. "I will find that book and put an end to Lalisa Manobal's game."

The witch's smile was approving as she nodded. "I believe you will succeed. Good luck."

With that, Y/N left the witch's presence, her resolve strengthened.

She headed straight to the library, ready to uncover the secrets that would help her and Taehyung.

The weight of the impending marriage and the curse now felt lighter, replaced by a renewed sense of purpose.

While heading towards the library,
Y/N was intercepted by Jisoo,

who wore a smug expression as she displayed a hickey on her collarbone.

"This was made by Taehyung," Jisoo declared, her voice dripping with triumph.

Y/N's eyes widened, but she remained calm, knowing Taehyung wouldn't have done such a thing.

"Okay, princess, what should I do about that?"

"Aren't you jealous?" Jisoo taunted.

Y/N smiled proudly. "I know my Taehyung only kisses me."

Jisoo's eyebrows shot up in irritation. "He's not yours; he's mine."

Y/N smiled teasingly. "Oh, yes, yours."

With that, Y/N left Jisoo standing there, her heart still resolute and her determination unwavering.

She continued toward the library, ready to find the book that would help her uncover the truth and break the curse.

Y/N entered the library and greeted the librarian. "Ajushii no.4, I need your help."

The librarian looked up, curious. "What help, Y/N?"
