Prequel: Royal Exemption
A marriage between two countries took place and a legacy will relive. For the longest time, the Korean royalty hasn't herald an emperor or a king due to the recent descendants choices of partners which were mostly commoners...
In silence, we walked apart. Until he started talking something about the past... as we passed through an arbor of roses that leads to a place in the palace where it all started...
A place where a row of white houses used to stand.
The paramour lane.
I closed my eyes and remembered all the bittersweet memories I had with the ladies...
But to him, it was mostly sweet.
Mari-unnie was a person I was truly conflicted with. But learning upon her death truly broke my heart...
There is good and bad in every person. I know it was only love that made her that way...
I hope wherever she is now, she's happy.
He led me to the fleur house where his rows of juliets are found... that place instantly drew a smile on my face. We needn't words... when our eyes met, we chuckled at a certain memory I'm sure we both had in mind. He plucked a single petal and ate it...
"It's not that bad..."
He gushed.
I plucked one too and did the same. He watched me, still with that sad look on his eyes. He led me to a corner where a coffee table that was illuminated by a faint lamp. Once again, there was silence between us. Until he picked up something from his side and placed it on the table...
My heart skipped a beat.
"T-Tata?..."

"I...I just gave him a stylish upgrade. You can bring him with you... I know you want to be away from me for a while but...if you get sad, I hope he can do something about it."
