Destiny

Chapter 11

*KyungMi's POV*

I stared at my sisters with my eyes going back and forth between MiYoung and JinHee. MiYoung had just had a serious outburst and although I agreed with her reasoning I didn't agree with her methods. I was afraid of what would happen next. They were both hot headed and both obviously angry for other reasons that I didn't want them to take out on each other. "Okay guys stop, I said, MiYoung apologize and JinHee get dressed." MiYoung looked at me and raised an eyebrow then she dropped her head. "Sorry JinHee~" she breathed out. "We're cool but the next time you do something like that I'm gonna smack the brown out of your eyes~" JinHee said rather sternly. 'Okay good,I thought to myself, crisis adverted. JinHee reluctantly got dressed and we made our way to the ball room. The guards announced our arrival and the entire ballroom bowed to us. It felt so strange to be recognized as royalty again. I was surprised that most of the staff and a large portion of the courtiers had been supporters of our mother. It made me happy that there were people out there that had loved her. We entered the ballroom and the dancing continued. I stood of to the corner and watched as SeHun nearly ran across the ballroom to fetch HeeYoung. The boy was clearly in love with her and I think she loved him too. I began to feel guilty about objecting to their union at first. Hopefully MiYoung and JinHee would agree and we could give HeeYoung the happiness she deserved. "KyungMi~" I heard a familiar voice say from behind me. I smiled as he put his hands on my shoulders and hugged me from behind. "Ahh Your majesty~,I said, You should behave yourself. You'll start a scandal." He spun me around and ran his hand down from my shoulder to my finger tips. He lifted my hand to his lips and kissed it lightly. "Well then my dear, he said, let's give them all something good to gossip about." He took me by the hand and led me to the middle of the room as we joined the waltz. "Your grace?" He asked. "Hm?" I answered. My eyes widened as he dropped to one knee and the room froze. "Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" He asked.

*JinHee's POV*

I gasped as I looked to the middle of the room. Prince JongDae was on one knee proposing to my sister. The room stood still as everyone waited for her answer. She covered her mouth as she slowly began to sob. I held my breath and my heart ached. "Say yes Kyung!" I screamed in my head. My chest started to hurt and my vision got swirly but I refused to breath until I heard her answer. Still, the room was silent. "Godamnit Kyung say something!" I screamed internally. Everyones eyes were on JongDae as he began to visibly sweat. The past few seconds must have felt like centuries to him. Finally everyone's silent prayers were answered as they heard KyungMi's broken voice whisper. "Yes~" she said. I nearly jumped for joy. KyungMi deserved every bit of happiness that was coming her way.

*HeeYoung's POV*

Oh.My.God! My oldest sister Kymi was officially engaged. I couldn't help but run over to her and hug her. She hugged me back tightly and I felt her tears on my skin. "Why are you crying?" I whispered. She looked at me and although she smiled I knew something was a bit off. "I'm scared" she mouthed. I looked at my sister feeling extremely concerned. What was she afraid of? I suddenly felt a hand tug at mine and turned to see SeHun standing there smiling at me. I smiled back at him and he pulled me in for a tight hug. Being so close to him made my heart flutter but what he said next made my heart stop. "You're next~" he whispered.

*MiYoung's POV*

My sister had just gotten engaged and I couldn't breathe. I dashed up to the balcony and loosened my dress a bit. I gripped the rails and sucked in as much air as I could. 'My god!, I screamed in my head, what is wrong with me!" The autumn wind swirled around me but I didn't shiver. I felt hot with a madness I couldn't really understand. I dropped to the floor as the tears began to come. I sobbed violently and I finally figured out why I was so angry.

I thought back to the time we spent when I was about 10 when we were working for a magistrate in another kingdom. He had taken an uncanny liking to my sisters and I, Especially KyungMi. I remembered the night that Mistress Lucy had come to fetch her. The other girls were asleep but I sat up looking at the full moon. Mother used to tell us that the moon was full of hope and love. Every time It was full I would stare at it and cry for her. I stared at Mistress Lucy as she began to shake KyungMi. KyungMi was sleeping hard and Mistress Lucy was having a hard tome waking her. She was about to hit her when I called out to her. "Don't~!,I said,Leave her be." Mistress Lucy cut her eyes at me and smiled. She looked me up and down and told me to get up. I did as I was told and she led me to the magistrate's room. He was rather large and smelly. The two exchanged glances and he glared at me. "I wanted the big one~" he said. "I know, Mistress Lucy said, but this one is younger. She'll be just as good." She smiled and pushed me forward. "I guess you'll have to do" he said as he closed the door.

"MiYoung?" I heard a voice say. I glanced up slightly but didn't get off the floor. My tears fell freely as he made his way over to me. "MiYoung, he said, what's wrong?" I shook my head. "MiYoung~~ tell me what it is~" he said. I looked up at him and stared into his eyes intensely as if I would somehow find the answer in them. Suddenly I blurted out the only thing that had been swirling around my head since I'd stepped onto the balcony. "I can't get married!, I sobbed, KyungMi, JinHee, and HeeYoung can, but because of what I had for my sister I never can~!" His eyes searched mine as he was expecting to find his own answer there. Suddenly he started to laugh and I wanted to slap him. "What?!" I said furiously. He looked at me and whispered. "The only reason you can't get married is that I haven't asked yet." He said
