Forbidden Love

Episode - 8

Y/N: But what should I do to make her realise that she cares for me?

Taehyung: I think seeing u hurt, she's not in her senses rn. That's why she isn't noticing that she's calling u 'my daughter'. Maybe, if u call her 'Mother' in response instead of 'Majesty', she finally realises.

Y/N: But, My Lord, how can I call her 'mother', that isn't right.

Taehyung: Isn't she my mother, then why can't u call her 'mother'?

Y/N: But—

Taehyung: No buts Y/N, u have to do this.

Before I could say smth, Majesty came in with a doctor. The worriedness on her face was suddenly gone now, replacing it with a cold expression again. For a second, I thought that she was just acting all along cuz she didn't speak a word after the doctor came. But her words after the doctor left made me delete all those thoughts...

Q. Aera: (After doctor left, staring at Y/N) Don't ever think a bit that I cared about u, it was just I can't s-see a woman in p-pain. So don't keep ur hopes up that I accepted u.

I smiled cuz I found her explanation cute. She was reassuring me that she didn't care about me like a child. I replied...

Y/N: (Playfully) Really Ur Majesty? U can't see a woman in pain? Then what about the time when u tried to finish me?

Q. Aera: U-U, get out of h-here. I can't b-bear u in my r-room anymore.

I just smiled and left with My Lord, not much time is left in her realisation. Her Heart has accepted me, she soon gonna accept me by her words too.

Queen Aera POV –

I let out a heavy sigh after they left. Yes, I heard Y/N's and Tae's conversation from outside the room and realised how I was reacting on her small injury. Oh God!! How can I let my concerns take over me? I called her "My Daughter" too. Why can't I convince myself that she's just acting? But Aera, what if she's really genuine? Ah!! No, she's definitely acting.

(Sighed again) I really wanna accept her, but I'm afraid. Afraid that she'll use her position in a wrong way like the second queen of My Majesty (King Junghoon). She betrayed us, and it affected the Kingdom badly. I don't want this to repeat. I may take actions in a wrong way, but I just want my Kingdom's safety and happiness.
