Taming His Wild Heart (Scarlet Heart: Ryeo fanfic - BOOK 2)

Chapter 17 - Love Overcomes.

Yoo Jin's POV
"Mother, Yoo Jin is carrying my child." We were visiting his Mother at the royal palace to break the news to her. He held my hand under my table and she said "Oh? That's great." I kept my head down, I had always been very fearful of his mother, she was a very...difficult person to deal with. She said "Yoo Jin? Are you alright?" I smiled and said "Yes, Queen." After lunch with the Queen, Prince Yo said "Mother, I'll take her back home, Yoo Jin needs to rest."

Queen Yoo's POV
"Pregnant?" I never liked Yoo Jin. Yo has been changing so much ever since he met her, ever since he married her. I hated the fact that she was changing my son. Now that she's pregnant, this meant that Yo will definitely stay by her side. I have to get rid of her. "Bring Princess Mungong to me." "Yes, Queen." I sipped my tea, planning how to get rid of Yoo Jin. This little jinx will be difficult to get rid off, I know that for sure.

A knock snapped me from my thoughts and the guard said "Queen, Princess Mungong has arrived." I said "Let her in." The door opened and Mungong came into my line of sight. She bowed and said "Queen." I said "Sit down." A servant came in and served her tea and she said "Queen, you called for me?" I said "It's regarding my precious son, who also happens to be your beloved husband." She said "Prince Yo?" I smirked and said "As well as his new wife who is taking over your place."

She said "Yoo Jin too...?" I said "That's right. Your little love rival and your husband, are expecting a child." I saw her eyes wavering. I said "But still, we can't do anything about this, can we? How do you feel? You're the supposed first wife, who was supposed to give my child a CHILD OF HIS OWN, but 2 years have passed and nothing?" She kept her head down. I said "Useless. But you can be useful, just by working with me to get rid of Yoo Jin. We both equally hate her."

She nodded and said "Yes Queen. You just have to do what I say, and everything will work out."

Yoo Jin's POV
"부인, are you feeling alright?" Prince Yo asked. I turned to him and nodded. I said "I'm fine, 서방님. Why wouldn't I be?" He said "You're carrying another life in your body, and we've been walking around the palace for quite some time." I said "I'm perfectly fine, 서방님. No need to worry." He said "Let's sit down somewhere." I nodded and he held my hand while walking over to a stone chair. He sat me down and sat next to me.

Tucking a strand of hair behind my ear, he cupped my cheek lightly and smiled. I said "Why are you smiling at me like that?" He said "Because I love you. You changed me." I said "For better, or for worse?" He let out a sad smile and said "In my own eyes, it's definitely for better. In Mother's eyes, it's worse." I brought a hand up and caressed his cheek lightly. I felt him leaning in to my touch, and I said "I'm sorry...I never thought my existence would cause you so much trouble..."

He said "Yoo Jin, promise me you'll never leave me." As he pulled me into his embrace. I said "I'll never leave you, Prince Yo...As long as you promise you'll never leave me." He pressed a gentle kiss onto my lips and said "I'll never be able to leave you." I smiled and said "I'll only leave, when you want me to. When you get tired of me, I'll go." He shook his head and
said "That will never happen. I told you. I love you. I love you too much to leave you." I smiled and said "I love you too." Before pressing a kiss onto his lips.

Prince Yo's POV
After Yoo Jin said that she was tired, I brought her back to her room, where she fell asleep quickly. I decided to go out and get some fresh air. "I heard that Yoo Jin was carrying your child." I turned and saw Mungong. I said "How did you know that?" She smiled and said "I have my ways, 서방님." Mungong...Honestly, I would say that she wasn't sane.

I went up to her and said "Leave Yoo Jin alone. Our failed marriage is our business, don't drag Yoo Jin into our problems." She smirked and said "I won't do anything to your precious baby, 서방님. I'm just going to make you regret, marrying her." I clutched my fists and grabbed her neck tightly. I hissed "I SAID, don't hurt Yoo Jin and my child. Stay away from them." She said "What you're doing, will only fuel my anger. I suggest you check on your precious wife, Prince." My eyes widened and I immediately let go of her neck and ran back to Yoo Jin's room.

"YOO JIN!" I burst into her room and she began to stir. She sat up slowly and said "Prince Yo...?" I immediately heaved a sigh of relief and ran over to her. I hugged her tightly and said "Did anything happen to you? Are you ok? Are you hurt anywhere?" She shook his head and said "No, Prince Yo, what's wrong?" He hugged me tightly and said "She told me that she would hurt you..." She said "Princess Mungong?" I said "How did you know?" She smiled and said "I guessed. Besides your Mother, she's the only one that wants me to go."

He said "How did you know all this?" She smiled sadly and said "It's easy to deduce, from the way they look at me." I hugged her tightly and said "I'm sorry...I'm sorry you have to go through so much..." She shook her head and said "As long as we're together, everything is worth it."
