Destiny

Chapter 20

*HeeYoung's POV*

I sat up in bed speechless simply not knowing what to say. SeHun's mother came all the way from SiSeo and she was now standing in my room. "w-w-what about him?" I asked nervously. "Well this is extremely hard to say but I felt that you needed to know." "What happened?" I asked. "He had an accident, she said, a very bad accident." My heart sank and worry crept into my voice. "what kind of accident?!, I nearly screamed, Is he okay?!" "I feel terrible about this, she said, It's because of me that my husband found out about the two of you in the first place.He forced you apart and now..." she stopped talking as tears fell from her eyes. I could see the hurt and shame written clear as day across her face. "now what?" I said. I was crying too. "My son tried to kill himself, she said while sobbing into her hands, he tried to hang himself off the tapestries over my husbands throne and its all my fault. How could I have been so foolish?" My body went numb and I could barely breathe. "Is he--s-s-still, I stammered, Is he still--" "Is he still alive?, she asked while looking at me intensely, yes he's alive. I found him hanging there and cut him down myself. He barely survived but yes he is alive and he's been asking for you." "He has?" I asked. "Yes, she said, now get dressed. You're going to SiSeo with me." I got dressed in a hurry and followed Queen BoA out to her carriage. 'Just hold on SeHun, I thought to myself as the carriage took off, I'm coming.'

*KyungMi's POV*

I walked through the Palace garden admiring the roses. Their beauty seemed to distract me from my pained existance. I reached for one and the thorn pricked my finger drawing a little blood. Beautiful in the beginning and painful in the end just like my sordid love story. I heard a commotion and looked up. I saw my sister HeeYoung running to a carriage and get in with a tall woman. 'where the heck is she going?' I thought to myself. I called out to her but she didnt answer me then the carriage took off. I ran back into the palace and saw YiXing in the foyer talking to a group of me. I courtsied in his direction then ran towards my room. It just occured to me that with the death of his father YiXing was next in line to be King.

*JinHee's POV*

I woke up in Prince ZiTao's bed the next morning as the sunlight beamed across my eyes. I scrunched up my face and whined "Mmm Go away sun I dont want it to be over." I said. I heard him laugh "You dont want what to be over?" he asked. I opened my eyes and looked at him. A smile spread across his face as his dark hair fell over his eyes. I reached out and moved it away from his face. He nuzzled into my palm and kissed my finger tips.  "I didnt want to wake up because I was afraid that this was all a dream" I said. "I could say the same" he said as he leaned over and kissed my lips. "I wont go anywhere If you dont" He said against my lips. "Deal~" I breathed.

*MiYoung's POV*

I laid in bed next to YiXing. He was fast asleep but I couldnt seem to settle myself. The morning light was creeping through the curtains but my mind was trapped in a replay of night. The events played over and over in my head.

YiXing had come up to his room to speak to me after he sent SeHun's father away and HeeYoung to the doctor. He closed the door and sighed heavily. "What is it?" I asked. "My father died 15 minutes ago." he said. "Oh no~, I said as I rushed over to him, sweetheart I am so sorry. what happened?" "The sickness finally got to him. He died in his sleep and now he is at peace." he said. "How do you feel?" I stupidly asked him. Honestly how would anyone feel if their father died? "I miss him already, he said, but I'm not sad. I'm happy he can finally rest. He's been in pain for a long time now." I nodded slowly as I listened to his words. He sighed again. "I need you to get dressed now, he said, theres something important we have to do." "Okay, I said, what shall I wear?" "Go down to your room everything should be laid out for you already. I'll meet you in a half hour." I nodded and kissed him on the cheek then headed downstairs. When I got to my room there was a red gown on my bed with a pair of shoes and a tiara. The gown looked magnificent I slipped it on and had a chamber maid help me finish dressing and fix my hair. When she was done I gave her a few gold coins and sent her to bed. I waited in front of the mirror and admired myself in the gown. the material was smooth and felt great against my skin. Just then there was a knock on then door. I opened it and found YiXing on the other side. He wore a white suit embellished with red detailing. He looked stunning. "Wow~, he said, you look amazing." I smiled and winked at him playfully. We walked through the dark corridors of the palace quietly and approached the throne room. The doors opened and the arch bishop, priest, and royal book keeper were standing on the platform. We walked up to them and they brought out a large bible. YiXing and I both placed out right hand on it and swore an oath to rule truthfully, fairly, and to protect the people of QingSha at all costs. When we were done They place a crown on top of YiXing's head and declared him King of the Kingdom of QingSha. I had never felt so proud of anything ever in my life. The feelings spilled over into a bright smile spreading on my face. That smile soon faded and was replaced by a fearful frown when they replaced the tiara I was wearing with a crown of my own and pronounced me, Kang MiYoung Princess of Vallhallia as the new Queen Consort of Qingsha Kingdom.
