As soon as I leave Youra in her quarters, I walk towards the exit of the palace. I scan the yard in search of my driver and find him propped up in the car, he notices my presence quickly and bows in a respectful and slightly lingering bow. I step into the vehicle and calmly seated myself in the seat next to the driver, he quickly enters and starts the engine. The driver looks at me, his expression questions me in relation to our destination, I nod with my head that he soon understands the message. After a few minutes the car stops in front of the jewelry store that I took Youra earlier. I get out of the car and walk calmly into the place. The logist bends over to see me and walks over to me with a smile on her face.
— Good night, Your Highness.
— Good night.
— The rings have arrived.
— Where are?
— I'll go get them. — says and leaves shortly thereafter.
Yesterday morning, I sent one of my trusted men to come to Butyzzel and bring this pair of engagement rings made of silver, diamonds and white gold that is passed down from generation to generation in the royalty of my kingdom. I want to be agile about my relationship with Youra, I will ask for an engagement tomorrow, we have already waited too long and I have no doubts as to what I feel for her and I think I can say the same about Youra. There is nothing that will change my feelings, I will make her my wife at all costs, I will not accept opposition. The woman soon returns with the small box lined with red velvet in her hands, as soon as she stops beside me, she hands me the object. To make sure that everything is intact, I open the box and meticulously analyze the pairs of rings firmly arranged on the upholstery.
— Thanks! — I close the box and soon after, I thank you for the care you had with the alliances of the generation of my kingdom.
— It is an honor to serve you, Your Highness! — says bowing. I nod and walk away again.
I head over to the car and get in quickly. The day was long and I need to rest, the driver leaving the place right after departure. Reflective, I watch the city through the car window, which, calmly, goes to my cousin's palace. Due to the circumstances in which we find ourselves, You and I don't have time for a long honeymoon but I will reward it in the future, if she accepts to marry me. The anticipation makes me nervous and I turn a quick look at the box in my hands, a wide smile immediately appears on my face. I will talk to her to organize the preparations for our wedding and honeymoon as soon as possible, we have no more time to lose and my obligations to my kingdom together with the war in which my ally is in, do not allow me.
Countess Kira has always had bold attitudes towards people who establish a high position at court, especially kings and their successors. I already expected that the person who was watching us that night would act quickly and determinedly and was aware of the headaches that the news of my relationship with Youra would cause but I did not imagine that the countess was behind it. I think she would act against my relationship as soon as she knew about him if it weren't for her to spy on us, she always caused Chan and me headaches and is now causing a tumor. To my unhappiness, Kira will make Youra her victim and this is all my fault and her obsession, I hope Youra will support this viper until I resolve the situation.
After a few minutes we arrived at the palace, the vehicle stopped and I quickly got out of it. I take long strides and into the huge building, the corridors are completely empty. I walk towards my rooms and enter the room with a certain tiredness and despair, I place the box with the rings on my desk and walk to the bathroom. I quickly remove my robes and turn on the shower to enter the hot water, then immediately, I feel my tense muscles relax as the water travels through my body. I take about twenty minutes in the shower, quickly dry off and walk to my closet, from which I take out black sweatpants and a black t-shirt. I get dressed quickly and walk to my bed, completely psychologically tired, lie down and am lightly and deeply taken by sleep.

The sun's beams caress my face in a friendly way making me wake up. I open my eyes lazily and slowly get up, sitting on the mattress. I raise my arms and stretch, get out of bed and walk to the bathroom. My reflection in the mirror is of a tired and anxious man, I turn on the tap and take a little cold water with my hands cupping it over my face. I brush my teeth and then remove my robes to take a shower that will wake me up completely. It takes me about twenty minutes in the bath, I leave the place dry and go to the closet, from inside the same one I pull out a white social blouse, black pants and an underwear in the same tone, get dressed and put on shoes and then take it the box with the pair of rings and leave my rooms. Calmly, I walk towards the lounge where everyone is having their meal. I put the small box in my back pocket and inside the place attracting all the attention to me. I run my eyes over the expanse of space in search of the girl I love, Eunji is sitting in the usual place but I don't see Youra which is strange. I approach the smaller one and put a seal on the top of her head, the girl looks at me with a soft and gentle smile on her lips.
— Good morning, little one.
— Good morning, Dong Dong!
— Did you see Youra today?
— No, she didn't wake me up in the morning. I think yesterday's events affected her a lot.
— Right. I will look for it, thank you. — she smiles at me and I smile back.
