Seokjin's POV
5 years later

"Well, Myeong-ok, it's been a while."


Seokjin was walking down the palace's outdoor stone walkways with Myeong-ok by his side. After two years from their fateful encounter in the market, Seokjin finally told Myeong-ok who he really was.

When she first heard him say that he was the Crown Prince, Myeong-ok thought Seokjin was joking. But when he took her into the palace, the eunuchs and palace maids bowed to Seokjin and called him "Seja."

Alarmed, Myeong-ok quickly got to her knees and lowered her head in respect, in front of Seokjin. He laughed and told her that it was fine and that she should get up. Reluctantly, Myeong-ok rose but would no longer look him in the eye. This bothered Seokjin and "commanded" her to treat him like she did before.

Now, both at the age of twenty-two years old, the two were walking through the palace. Seokjin knew that he would have to be married soon so that he could have a legitimate male heir, but he wanted to be with Myeong-ok as long as possible so he prolonged it for a year.

He wished that his future queen could be Myeong-ok and she nearly could have been the next queen if it weren't for his grandmother, the Queen Dowager, mother of the current King.

The Queen Dowager was in charge of choosing the next queen through a selection process, and she believed that Myeong-ok did not fit any of her criteria.

But the King, the Queen, and the palace staff all liked how humble and kind Myeong-ok was. Her father was a wealthy merchant so no one could see why Myeong-ok did not fit the criteria.

Seokjin sighed heavily when he and Myeong-ok were suddenly stopped by palace guards. One of the guards stepped forward and declared,

"Jang Myeong-ok, you have been summoned to the Queen Dowager's quarters." A small group of soldiers stepped forward and walked the girl towards their destination as she looked back fearfully at Seokjin, who commanded them to stop but was ignored.

Furious, Seokjin threatened that the soldiers would have their lives for ignoring his command when the guard who had spoken earlier stated,



"It was ordered by the King."

Myeong-ok's POV
The Queen Dowager's Bedroom

"Drink up."


Myeong-ok faced Queen Dowager, a low table with a steaming cup of tea in front of her. Glancing at the Queen Dowager, she motioned for her to drink the tea and hesitantly, Myeong-ok took a quiet sip from the warm drink.

Immediately, she felt her body relax as if someone just untied the nervous knot in her stomach. Myeong-ok quickly finished the tea in a matter of seconds, and the maid who waited beside her poured more tea into the cup, an aromatic scent wafting in the air.

"Do you know why you are here, young lady?"

Myeong-ok replied with a "no," and continued to drink the tea in front of her. She did not understand why, but Myeong-ok felt like she wanted to keep drinking it forever.

"My grandson, the Crown Prince Lee Seokjin, seems to have taken an interest in you."

Myeong-ok gave a startled look at the elderly woman, who seemed pleased at how she reacted to the statement. The Dowager continued,
