Jihye: yeah! you all spawns have bad luck . King Jae-soo loves me more .

*Jihye clutched her cards when king's second wife spoke*

Kyulkyung: King will marry her tomorrow . she's young , most beautiful lady of daejeon and our king was one who asked daejeon's king for y/n.

*Kyulkyung looked at you and smiled*

She said while dropping down the cards.

Kyulkyung: Of course , jihye . I never wanted a 42 year old man to love me . I have self respect unlike you .

You slightly smiled behind your cards when the eldest queen glared at the other queen .

Jihye: *smirk* Self respect? I married hime first because his mother liked me. you married my king so that your kingdom would get allied with Gwangju. And what about you young princess?

Your smiled dropped and your expression went back to cold ones.

Jihye: Didn't your father want to sign a treaty with Gwangju . Your kingdom is going under drought zone and your father want gwangju to re-open the kap-chion river. So your peasants would get water.
