"Your Majesty, you must understand your brother means well for Joseon," Bo-seon said, searching for Tae-min's attention. Which Bo-seon didn't have; Taemin was lost in his thoughts.

"Your Majesty?" He repeated..."YOUR MAJESTY!".

"I told you not to call me that," Tae-min said blankly. "oh, so now you reply?" Bo-seon mumbled and scoffed along with rolling his eyes. "Has Chung-ha caught your mind again?" ,

Tae-min's reply was just a smile with a sparkle in his eyes.

"I'll take that as a yes."

Both of them were in Tae-min's chamber, well known as the concubine's son's chamber. Tae-min hated that title. Each time it was said, he felt like a burden, useless and pointless. Tae-min was always a shadow to his brother, which he got used to. He even likes it, doesn't mean he wants to be reminded of it.

"She's been the only thing on my mind," Tae-min said, still looking dazed. "I can tell, but I beg of you to let the thought of her be at rest for a while before those memories are all you have left of her," Bo-seon warns.

"What is it you mean?"

"Have you not thought of courting supposed to be taken place. It's being said the king has already chosen three suitable noblewomen for you."

"When are they arranged to see me?" Tae-min is suddenly snapped back into reality.

"They will not tell me."

"WHY!?"

"Because they know I am obligated to tell you everything, they're scared if I told you the day that you will run away."

Tae-min covered his face with both of his hands and released the biggest exhale. Out of impulse, he quickly got up and speed-walked to the king's Chamber. All while Bo-seon is trying to stop him.

He reached there heated, he couldn't hide it if he tried, it was all in his face and walk. It was so noticeable, one of the maids outside the chamber was stuttering to say, "Your majesty, the King has said not to allow-"

"Step aside, or I'll make you myself " His voice was low and serious. The tactic used is what he was raised upon, a motive driven by fear. The lady follows the order and moves to the side.

And there he went, barging in. "Must you barge in so vigorously?" Choi Min-ho said, well known as the King.
