"We will take care of you, child," the queen smiled, "we will give you an education, food, a bed and everything you ask for."

"R-really?" Taehyung asks.

"Yes, my child," the queen smiles.

"Can I g-go back to pack my bag?" Taehyung smiles back at her.

"Not required. You will have everything you need here," the queen takes his hand, "let's bath you and then get better outfits for you! Come on."

Taehyung takes her hand and goes along with her.

A few weeks later, Taehyung had grown accustomed to the royal ways and started learning about business and royal matters. 

"I miss Yunahet," Taehyung says to himself, "She promised she'd be there for me when I get back but I never went back..."

"Who is Yunahet?" He hears the queen from behind.

"Oh, queen," he bows, "I didn't notice you there."

"Please, don't call me queen. Don't bow. I am your mother, Taehyung," the queen says.

"I am sorry, mother," Taehyung apologizes. 

"It's fine. Now, who is Yunahet?" The queen asks.

"She's a friend of mine. She's been there for me all the time. I really like her, mother," Taehyung explains.

"Is she..." the queen asks, "perhaps a peasant?"

"Yes," Taehyung replies, "but she is like a princess. Bold, kind and warm. You will love her mother. Perhaps I should introduce her to you!"

"Oh, my child," the queen's face falls, "you should. I need to know the girl who succeeded in capturing your heart."

Taehyung smiles, "Can I go to her place?"

"Sure," the queen straightens her posture, "just take a few guards along with you."

"Boo!"

"AAH!" Yunahet screams.

"OH MY GOD TAEHYUNG!" She jumps and hugs him.

"Girl! You cannot touch the prince," one of the guards pushes her.

"Hey!" Taehyung gets furious, "She is my friend. She has all the rights to touch me."

"I'm sorry, sir. But there are orders from the queen to not let anyone near you," the guard explains.

"I'm bringing her to the palace," Taehyung states, "Come on, my dear."

"W-wait-" she stops, "What the hell is going on-"

"I'll explain to you, my dear," Taehyung smiles and slips his hand in hers, "Let's go."

On reaching the palace, Taehyung shows her around the place, explains what happened, shows his new clothes, books and weapons.

"Wow, you really got lucky," she giggles.

"We," Taehyung corrects, "you're my friend. Who's been there for me. So you have gotten lucky along with me. You no longer have to starve or wear torn clothes. I'll provide for you."

He cups her face, "I love you so much."

"I lov-" 

"Taehyung!" The queen calls, "Who is this girl?"

"She's Yunahet, my friend," he smiles and holds her hand, "Yunahet, my mother."

"Hello, your grace. It has been a pleasure to meet you," she greets the queen.

The queen gives a smile to her and walks away to the king's chamber.

"My king, my darling, Taehyung cannot be around a peasant. We have to get rid of her," she says.

"It's okay, my queen. He will soon get bored of her once he sees all the beautiful and graceful royal women," the king consoles her, "Don't worry. She'll be out of his life soon. Just let them be."

"If you say so," she smiles.

Years passed by, but Taehyung's love for Yunahet only grew to contradict the king's assumptions.

"If this continues, soon Taehyung will ask to marry her. He's near his age of marriage, almost completed his education and close to taking the throne. You're already in bad health. We cannot let her become the queen. A peasant! As the queen! No!" The queen panicked.

"I am going to forbid him from meeting her. That's the only way," the king stands up storming out.

"Taehyung!" The king called, "come here this instant."

"Yes, father?" Taehyung asks.

"Your lover," the king mentions, "is she fine?"

"Yes, father," Taehying confirms, "Why do you ask?"

"Taehyung," the king breaths in ready to argue, "from today, this moment onwards, I forbid you to meet her."

"What? Why?" Taehyung asks.

"Why?" The king continues, "Why because you cannot be with a peasant!"

"BUT I AM ALSO A PEASANT! AND YOU STILL ADOPTED ME. DOES THAT MEAN I DON'T BELONG HERE TOO?" Taehyung raises his voice.

"DO NOT RAISE YOUR VOICE AT ME!" The king breaths in, "Y-you're not a peasant."

"What do you mean?" Taehyung glares at the king.

"Your mother, what she told was true. You are the prince of Daegu, Korean Empire," the king explains, "Hence, you are no peasant."

"Why d-did you lie to me-" Taehyung asks with tears.

"I wanted you to stay behind the line I drew," the king says and straightens his posture, "and you will. Guards! Lock him up in his chamber and don't let him out!"

"NO!" Taehyung screams, "You are a fool! I cannot believe I called you father for so many years!"

He was pulled away and thrown into his chamber. He banged on the door several times before he gave up and tears started streaming down his cheeks.

"I'm coming, my dear. I won't let go of you so easily," he wipes his tears and stands up.

He heads over to the window and inspects the lower storeys.

"I could step on the ledges and get out," he thinks.

He slowly climbs out of the window and steps on the ledge and climbs down the building. Once he was out, he runs to Yunahet's house while formulating a plan to keep her close.

"Taehyung," She places her basket on the floor, "what a surprise!"

"My dear," Taehyung cups her face, "my father forbade me from meeting you."

"Oh..." Her face falls, "I-, you probably shouldn't be here then."

"No, I can't live without you," he hugs her tightly, "I want you with me. I don't care."

"Taehyung, don't be stubborn," tears fall down her cheeks, "you can't disobey your father."

"I can't," Taehyung looks up, "I want him to have no other option but to accept you. Will you bear my child?"

"W-what?" She asks, "You can't do that. Your father will be unhappy."

"I don't care if my father will be unhappy," Taehyung says, "I am selfish, my dear. I want to be happy. With you."

"Taehyung-"

"Shush," he places his finger on her lips.

"Just tell me if you can bear my child?"
