2 years later"Ridae Hoseok's here !" Hoseok's sister came running in Ridae's room her face immediately lit up after hearing the news she immediately put on Hoseok's favorite necklace, stood in the highest balcony of the palace seeing her man with his soilders riding on a horse with people showering flowers on him she wore her crown and ran down at entrance of the palace with his sisters and all the maids.
The huge doors opened up for the mighty king and warriors who defeated and captured the kingdom of silla. Hoseok's gaze fell on Ridae smiling widely, the horse stopped Hoseok got down stood in front of his wife Ridae showering flowers on him and the soldiers "Welcome My lord " she exclaimed "I'm back My Queen I came back for you and for Gwanju " he said smiling " Queen Ridae won't you let us in the palace " claimed Prince Chanyeol. All the ceremonies were done of welcoming during hoseok's absence Ridae had given the palace a reservation "let me show you the entire palace Hoba" she
Held his hand and moved around the palace like a child stopping in front of their room " now close your eyes " "huh? " hoseok was confused " it's a surprise for you my lord now close your eyes or else I won't let you enter our room " she laughed, Hoseok closed his eyes Ridae guided him in the room " Ridae what kind of childish behavior is this?" Hoseok said his eyes closed "uh uh don't dare try to peep " she stopped in the middle of the room "now open your eyes " Hoseok opened his eyes fixed on Ridae " why were you peeping? " she asked with a annoying face " I don't trust you " hoseok said jokingly " I think I am the one who should be saying that after all how can I trust a warrior never know when can attack "she said mockingly "anyway how is our room " her face immediately lit up"beautiful"
He said still looking at her Ridae noticed his gaze on her and looked back at him with her innocent eyes Hoseok placed his had on her head expecting her to remove the Shield on his hands and arms which she did " Ridae? " yes my lord" she answered "why can I always see it in your eyes? " Hoseok asked " what?" She questioned "Your waiting for me " Ridae chuckled " when you're not home for 8 months that's the only thing that stays with me " she said continuing untying his shields like the devoted wife she was
" oh my where is it ?" she asked surprised " what? " hoseok asked confused " your step wife? " hoseok was shocked to hear that from her knowing that he was never loyal with her even though he still loved her " I mean your sword I know you love your sword more than me, got to know that you forgot it somewhere " she removed his sword from its cover and kept it on the bed Ridae noticed Hoseok's face filled with guilt and shock " I called your sword Step wife did offend you ?" Hoseok lifted his gaze "I'm so sorry I apologize my lord"
"Ridae you're gone crazy " she slowly said to her self.Hoseok smiled at her "anyways Mother was calling for me I need to go but before that I hope you forgave me right? " she looked at him with her puppy eyes hoseok laughed at her cuteness " I forgave you my love "
"thank you " she said laughing and blushing looking away, she ran away hoseok continued giggling."Yes Mother?" Ridae entered the queen's room "oh my Ridae you're here" the queen signaled all the maids to exit the room "what is it Mother?" the queen sat up making Ridae sit on the side of her bed "Darling I wanted to talk to you about something" she held her hands "As you know it's been two years since you're became my daughter now I think this is a time to think about the kingdom further more" Ridae was confused "I don't get what you're trying to say Mother" the queen smiled " by that I meant I think it's time for you to bless us with a Heir"
Ridae was shocked to hear this yes she loved Hoseok very much but never imagined to get intimate with him in fact they both were never actually
"intimat" with each other only hugging, pecking,cuddling were done
" Ridae? Are you hearing me? " she got back from thoughts " I don't want to force you but after all it's every mother's wish to see her Grandchild it's OK take your time " the queen smiled Ridae exited her room in deep thought her heart was beating so fast just thinking about it .It was dinner time the family was sitting together with Hoseok after a long time but there was a awkward silence between everyone which ended soon. It was time to get to bed Ridae kept thinking about what the queen said she mustered up the courage to lay next to Hoseok "Hoba?"
"Yeah" he answered her she wanted to tell it to Hoseok but chose not to "nothing" he noticed her during the day sometimes even he felt that their marriage lacked intimacy but felt guilty knowing how much she loves and trusts him not knowing he's been unloyal to her and he had a mistress with him when he was of to war in Silla" you've been behaving weird lately is something wrong ?"
"it's nothing don't worry " in few minutes He fell asleep she stared at his face and buried her face in his chest falling asleep.
