The next morning, when Y/N woke up, Taehyung came near her and said, "Good morning, princess."

"Good morning," Y/N smiled at him. She tried to get out of bed, but she couldn't because of Taehyung's work last night .

"Ahh... my leg hurts," Y/N shouted. Taehyung walked over to her and lifted her in a bridal style.

"Ajushii, what are you doing?" Y/N asked, surprised.

Taehyung walked towards the pool area and said, "I'm taking my wife. Who are you to care about?"

Y/N smiled but then asked, "Why are you taking me to this pool? Once, this pool tried to kill me," she said, her voice trembling with fear.

She continued, "I want to live. I want to try many foods. Please, get me out of here."

Taehyung chuckled and said, "I'm here with you. I won't let anything happen to you."

Taehyung carefully placed Y/N by the pool's edge, reassuring her with a gentle smile. "Trust me, princess," he said softly.

Y/N hesitated for a moment, but the warmth in Taehyung's eyes gave her the courage she needed.

Slowly, she dipped her feet into the water.

Taehyung joined her, sitting beside her and wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

As they both slid into the water, Taehyung kept a firm but gentle hold on her.

They splashed each other playfully, their laughter echoing in the serene morning air.

The water glistened under the soft light, creating a tranquil and magical atmosphere.

For a while, they forgot about the curses, the palace politics, and everything else that had troubled them.

They simply enjoyed each other's company, feeling a deep sense of peace and happiness.

Y/N leaned her head on Taehyung's shoulder, smiling. "Thank you, Ajushii. For everything."

Taehyung kissed the top of her head and whispered, "I'll always be here for you, my princess."

They spent the morning in the pool, enjoying each other's presence and the beginning of their new life together.

After their bath, Taehyung gently wrapped Y/N in a towel and helped her get dressed.

Y/N pouted and asked, "Ajushii, can I stop working now that I'm your wife?"

Taehyung cupped her cheeks, looking into her eyes. "No, you're always my courtier. You have to work. Are your tasks too hard?"

Y/N shook her head. "No, Ajushii, they're not hard. I'll work."

Taehyung smiled, satisfied with her answer, and kissed her forehead.

"Good. I'll see you later then." He left the room, leaving Y/N to start her day with a renewed sense of purpose and belonging.

As Y/N walked towards the kitchen, she saw Jimin there and greeted him. "What are you doing, Prince Jimin?"

Jimin smiled and replied, "Hey, you're the future queen. Call me Jimin."

Y/N smiled back, and Jimin continued, "I just wanted to see you. Are you happy with your new life?" Y/N noticed the sadness in his eyes.

She nodded and asked, "What about you? When are you going to get married?"

Jimin replied, "I don't have any plans to get married right now."

Y/N nodded in understanding. Jimin then said, "Come on, I'll help you in the kitchen."

Y/N protested, "It's okay, Jimin," but Jimin grabbed her hand and led her inside the kitchen.

They both worked together, sharing light conversation and laughter, their camaraderie easing some of the tension between them

Y/N suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head and before she could react, she collapsed.

She was about to fall to the floor, but Jimin quickly caught her, lifting her in his arms and rushing towards her room while shouting for the doctor.

Jimin, using his powers, tried to heal her, but despite his efforts, Y/N remained unresponsive.

The tension in the room was palpable as he continued to call her name, desperation evident in his voice.

Soon, Taehyung arrived, his eyes burning with fury.

He grabbed Jimin's collar, shouting, "What the hell did you do to her?"

Jimin, equally angry, grabbed Taehyung's collar in return, shouting back, "I did nothing!"

Taehyung released Jimin and then grabbed the doctor by his collar, his voice echoing with urgency. "Save her!"

The doctor, visibly trembling, replied, "Sure, Lord, but I don't know what happened to her. You should call the witch. She might be able to help with this."

Without a second thought, Taehyung immediately called the witch, his voice full of desperation. "Witch, please help us! Y/N needs you now!"

The witch grabbed Y/N's wrist, checked her pulse, and then examined her neck, where she noticed a peculiar mark.

Her eyes widened in realization. "She's alright," she said, but then turned to Taehyung, adding, "The Fire Goddess has chosen her to torture."

Taehyung looked puzzled. "But I've locked her soul in the clock tower," he said, his confusion evident.

The witch nodded. "Still, she's trying to disturb your life. Please take care of your wife."

Taehyung nodded, his concern deepening.

Jimin stepped closer and asked, "Why is your own mother doing this to you?"

Taehyung remained silent, his expression hardening.

Instead of answering, he simply told Jimin to leave.

Everyone departed, leaving Taehyung alone with Y/N.

He sat beside her, gently caressing her hair. "I'm here with you," he whispered softly.

From the bed, he heard a faint reply, "I know, Ajushii."

Relieved, Taehyung placed a tender kiss on her neck, silently vowing to protect her from any harm.
