♧3 months later...♧

Heechul's POV

After today's meeting I went to TaeHoo MaMa's place.

I was afraid that our talk wouldn't be nice. The lords begin to believe what TaeJa said. They really believe that this Mooyeon girl is a prophet.

If things keep going on like this they will change sides. I can't let this happen...

I stood in front of TaeHoo MaMa's door.

"You called me TaeHoo MaMa!" I shouted to let her hear.

"Come in" with this I got permission to enter.

I gave her maids a sign to leave the room. Once they closed the door there were just me and TaeHoo.

"INTOLERABLE!!!" she shouted.

I kneeled in front of her immediately. We are close to each other and I know that she would never punish her closest man but at this moment it was better to show some obedience.

"Please don't stress yourself MaMa. They don't dare to turn their back on you." I assured her.

"You didn't see their faces during today's meeting! They all looked at this bitch as if she's a god! Didn't they know that I was still there? I just want to peel off the skin from this innocent face!"

That's typical for her. Without that kind of attribute she would never have been able to beat the other concubines of the 6th King.

"You mustn't be angered by trifles like that. It's obvious that it was Hyeonjong's plan. She must be a fake. I've never met someone with supernatural powers like prophesying. Should we kill her?" I suggested.

"No. I think we should show up this fraud. Think of some way but don't let anyone know." she ordered.

"Understood!"

Mooyeon's POV

Urgh this meeting was also exhausting. I plunked down into my chair.

Everyone asked me about my opinion. How should I know what consequences their decisions would have?

'Should we build the temple westwards or eastwards?'

'Does this concubine bring danger to our Goryeo?'

'How many children should King Mokjong have?'

AS IF I CARE!

I had to answer something but after some time only fools wouldn't know that I'm not a real prophet.

I still didn't tell that Hyeonjong would be the next King. At the moment it really seems as if the lords begin to turn towards TaeJa only because I'm on his side. This part of the history still hasn't been explored sufficiently. How and why will Hyeonjong get his crown? Will I be the reason? Am I even able to change history?

Frustrated I scratched my head with my hands.

I shouldn't think about it anymore or I will go grey.

Instead I decided to take a walk through the garden. The boys said since I got introduced to the lords it wouldn't be that dangerous to walk around with the maids. But do they really have to follow me?

I stopped on the bridge over the pool. I leaned on the side and looked into the water.

I still didn't get out of my thoughts.

It's been over 3 months now. They even made the effort to sew some clothes in the style of my school uniform so that everyone would be reminded that I'm a prophet. Ridiculous.

Will I ever be able to return to my time? If I really manage to return it would mean that the people here are already dead for 1000 years.

Do I want that?

It's weird but after three months of living together I don't dislike them anymore.

Actually, I start to even like them... a little bit.

Flashback

"In front of TaeHoo you have to act as cautious as possible. She is very smart that's why most of the lords are afraid of her. But I doubt that she dares to do something to you in front of the others. Her power still depends on the support of them. If you get any questions, try to answer them in the simplest way. Don't be afraid. If something happens I'll be by your side to protect you." Taehyung babbled like a waterfall.

"..."

"Is something wrong Mooyeon?"

"Sorry I was just thinking... are you caring for me right now?"

He coughed awkwardly and looked at somewhere else.

"... Stop thinking nonsense and go."

End of Flashback

I was that deep in my thoughts blushing, I didn't even notice that someone arrived behind me. A tap on my shoulder and I realized that King Mokjong stood in front of me. He even sent my maids away.

"JeonHa! Please forgive I didn't notice your arrival." I said bowing in front of him.

He is the King of this whole country. I could lose my head due to any mistakes.

"Don't be that formal Mooyeon. I have the whole palace under my control. No one would blame you as long as I'm here." he said gesturing to make me stand straight. "Mind to have some tea with me?"

This man might be dopy since he was a marionette of his mother through his whole life but he is still the enemy of his cousin. Since I'm on the side of Hyeonjong I should avoid this man as long as I can. But how? I can't just reject him, the most powerful man in the country...

He pulled me by my arm and led me to the pavillon where the servants were already preparing the tea.

"Take a seat Mooyeon. Let's have a small talk. That's wonderful! I've never had tea with such a beautiful woman! It's a pity that I don't have you as a concubine." he cheered.

"Jesus" I sighed.

"Who?"

"Nevermind" I forced a smile and took a sip of the tea.

Gosh this kid. No wonder that he will lose the throne to his cousin. They are like polar opposites. He has a too exaggerated opinion of himself. I think this is the main reason for his fate.

After the tea I was on my way back to my room.

Did the King really just want to have a simple tea with me? Small talk his ass. He barely talked to me. Whenever the lords get the chance they would ask me tons of questions about future politics and similar stuff. I just saw him smiling creepily. The same smile like Heechul. Now I understand what Jungkook meant by saying that Heechul is the teacher of Mokjong. I get goosebumps by just thinking...

I was about to cross the bridge until my head began to spin.

I supported myself on the side of the bridge and tried to stand upright but I could feel my energy fading little by little.

How did that happen? Was it the tea? But we drank from the same pot...

My vision was blurry but I could recognize a man heading for my direction.

I wanted to call for help but it was no use. I collapsed to the ground and couldn't move a muscle.

This person carried me up bridal style.

I felt relieved and managed to say...

"Taehyung..."
