"You? But how can that be?" She whispered as she stared wide eyed at Taehyun. " I am the prince's guard so the palace is where I'm meant to be" Taehyun said and smiled at her. Yeon joo stepped back and frowned "That's not what I meant, what do you want from me?" She asked.
She couldn't understand how he was the one giving off such an incredible evil aura, she didn't feel it around at the gisaeng or in the forest when she was a little girl. She certainly didn't feel it when he'd saved her from falling off the cliff. What had changed in him, what atrocity had he committed?
"How could you just agree to give yourself to the prince?" Taehyun asked. "You surely know why I have to do it, you've been guarding the prince for years" Yeon joo answered.
"Yes but there could be another way to save him, how could you readily agree to give your body to a man you don't even know?"
"Are you forgetting I'm a gisaeng and how is it any of your concern what I decide to do?" She asked.
Taehyun grabbed her arm and pulled her closer to him "You're a gisaeng who also happens to be a virgin, you don't have to go through with it. The prince may be an idiot but he's a good man, he won't force you. Just beg him to lie about it" Taehyun said.
"Let go of me, I will do no such thing I am a gisaeng and my body belongs to any man who pays for it!" Yeon joo said and glared at Taehyun.
Taehyun grabbed her and pushed her up against the wall. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a pouch, he stuffed it into her hand. "There that's money, give me your body right now " he whispered and leaned forward. Yeon joo tried to push him away but somehow she couldn't and then she tried using her powers but they failed her. "Get off me you bastard!" She spat and was able to raise her back off the wall but Taehyun slammed her back and pressed his lips against hers forcing her to kiss him.
He pulled away a little, his lips only inches above hers. His eyes burned with desire while hers burned with hatred and fear. He turned and wal
ked away.

"The girl has arrived your majesty" Ji soo said as she stood in front of the king. He nodded "Has everything been prepared?" The king asked and Ji soo nodded, then she stood with her head bowed.
"Speak up Ji soo, what is it?" The king asked. "If I may suggest your majesty that after she serves the prince tonight, we make the girl a part of Sogyeokseo. She is more powerful than she knows and she would be a great asset to you" Jisoo said. "And what if she gets to know of her true potential and uses it against us?"
"Like the other creatures I can use her talisman to prevent her from misbehaving , I just need to get her blood and then I can make it "
"Very well, let us get this over and done with"

The full moon was out and high in the sky when Yeon joo and the other girls were taken to a room where the prince sat with his guards eating and drinking. The girls were provided with instruments which they played to entertain their special guests.
Two hours later, Yeon joo was taken away by a court maid. By this time, the gisaeng were seated with the prince and his guards, talking and touching intimately. "Are they sending her home?" One of the girls asked Daeman. He had his hand on her chest he leaned closer to her face and smiled.
"No, she is going to be with the prince tonight so she has been taken to the royal bathhouse, the lucky girl will treated like royalty tonight" Daeman said much to the shock and displeasure of Yeona. She frowned and pushed Jong kyu away. "But your highness, at the gibang you said that I would be the one to serve you!" She whined and locked her arm around the prince's, who was sitting on her right while Jong kyu was on her left. Young jae sighed and gently pat her on the head then he stood up and left the room. Jong kyu pulled her into his lap, "it looks like you're mine tonight " he said and squeezed her thigh.
Yeon joo was bathed in milk by the court maids and then she was doused in jasmine oil from head to toe. The court maids dressed her in the most expensive hanbok and placed a veil over her head, completely covering her face. She was taken to a room and left sitting on bed.
Yeon joo didn't move, she sat completely still with her hands in her lap. Although she was frightened, she would do her best to please the prince because if anything went wrong, she could lose her life or the gibang would suffer loss. A while later she heard the door open and looked up. The prince chuckled "What is this, our wedding night? Why did they veil you?" He asked and walked towards her, he put his hands on her shoulders and brought her to her feet.
He slowly removed the veil and stared down at her, she looked so innocent, he frowned... She looked too innocent. There was no lust or excitement in her eyes, only curiosity and fear. Why was she afraid? "Are you afraid that you will not satisfy me?" He asked her.
Yeon joo nodded and the prince laughed. "Just because I'm the prince doesn't mean I am different from every other man you've serverd. Just treat me the way you would any other customer" he said.
She nodded and slowly raised her hands to his shirt, she wanted to pretend that she knew what she was doing but her hands fumbled and wouldn't stop trembling.
"Why are you so nervous?" He asked with a hint of frustration in his voice. Yeon joo dropped to her knees and bowed her head "I'm a virgin I'm sorry!" She exclaimed.
Young jae stared at her humbled posture and scratched his ears, had he heard her correctly.. virgin?
"You're a gisaeng how is this possible?" He asked and Yeon joo explained to him how no man in joseon wanted to bed her.
"Fools, how could anyone resist such beauty?" He crouched down and put his hand under her chin, then he lifted her face and kissed her gently.
He pulled her up and then lay her down on the bed.
"I promise you that I'll be as gentle as I can"..........
