'You are marrying him tomorrow!'
'Why do you have to be so selfish? Why does it matter if someone who isn't a true bone is married into the family?'
'True bone blood is the only blood that stays in this bloodline!'
'You're so irritating!'
Your mother laughed deviously.
'Everything goes my way, whether you want it to or not. You will marry Sam Maek Jong.'
'You're a witch! You're not a queen! You're a witch!'

'Y/N! Y/N! Wake up!', screamed Ji Dwi.
You were fidgeting in your sleep with a frown.
He blew on your face to wake you up.
It did wake you.
You rolled over and saw Ji Dwi staring you in the face.'AH!', you screamed.
'Princess! Are you okay?', asked a guard from outside.
'...uh, yes...', you replied.
You frowned at your brother.
'What are you- How did you- Why are you-?'
'What am I doing here? Waiting for you to wake. How did I get in here? Same way I always sneak in here. Why am I here? We need to talk.'
'What is so important that you sat here and watched me sleep?'
'Mother.'
'W-what about her?...'
'She's dying.'
'Brother... I just woke up, now is not the time to joke about something like this.'
'I'm not joking...'
You hopped out of bed and went to tell your guards something.
'Don't let anybody in here. Nobody. I want to be alone. Don't say anything to me either.'
'Yes, princess.'
