Destiny

Chapter 10

*HeeYoung's POV*

"HeeYoung~!" A voice called out. I turned to my left to see my sisters waving at me. I rushed over to them and MiYoung linked her arm in mine. They were smiling and I realized that I was too. Call us cruel but we were down right bubbly. It had been a month since Mistress Lucy had been arrested and tried on charges of witchcraft. I counted down the days. I couldn't wait for her to be executed. She had single handedly ruined the last 14 years of my life and I wanted her to suffer for it. Her day was coming and I hoped she'd have a nice slow ride to hell. I followed my sisters into our new room.

*KyungMi's POV*

I sat on my bed and watched as MiYoung tried on different jewelry.

We were getting ready for the harvest ball tonight and none of us had decided what to wear. I smiled at JinHee knowing she was more excited than she wanted us to know. The princes had been showering us with gifts the past few days. SeHun had even asked me for HeeYoung's hand. He was so nervous that his hands shook. I told him that he could marry her if he could get MiYoung and JinHee to agree. If we were going to give her away we would give our baby sister away together. Personally I thought it was a bit soon for marriage but I decided that I shouldn't be a hypocrite since JongDae had been talking about marriage for a few weeks now. I knew he was going to ask, it was only a matter of time. That's what frightened me the most. If I got married what would happen to my sisters? I know it was strange that unlike any other normal girl that would be overjoyed at the thought of marrying a prince, I was worried about my sisters. I knew they would all be taken care of but I didn't want to part with them. Was I selfish by trying to keep us together?

*MiYoung's POV*

I stared in the mirror at the beautiful necklace I was wearing and sighed. Over the past month I had received many necklaces like it. Each of them with the same note attached. "Thinking of you". What good was a necklace if I never actually saw him? I was grateful for the jewelry and the dresses, but there was no reason to wear them if he wouldn't see it. I felt like an idiot. Why was I being so needy? I knew that he was busy especially with his father's failing health. If at any moment the king were to die YiXing would be next in line for the throne. The bittersweet truth rocked me to my core. What if he tried to marry me? Just the thought of marrying him made me both joyful and terrified. If I became Queen, would I end up sharing the same fate as my mother?

*JinHee's POV*

I laid in my bed and stared at the dress hanging on the door. It was absolutely magnificent. It was midnight blue and floor length with crystal-like beads covering it. It shimmered in the moonlight coming through our window. ZiTao had it sent for me to wear tonight. I refused. While my sisters all donned their dresses and were putting the finishing touches on their hair, I laid in bed and made no attempt to move. "JinHee~, HeeYoung said, why aren't you getting dressed?" "I'm not going.." I said without looking at her. Suddenly I was hit by something hard. It was a brush. "What the fuck?!" I yelled. "Get your ass up!,MiYoung yelled, It's HeeYoung's first ball and you are not going to fucking miss it! I don't give a fuck what kind of personal ass issue you THINK you have and I don't care what it is! Get the FUCK up and get dressed. You're going and that's final!!"
