A young girl is sitting in a swing slipped into deep thoughts,she roughly 17 years but her physique was very strong in contrast with her fairy face. Her thoughts were interrupted by a sweet voice,"𝘏𝘢-𝘺𝘦𝘰𝘯, what are you thinking?".
A smile bloomed on Ha yeon's empty face hearing that sound. That young noble girl who is almost the same age as Ha yeon continued while coming closer to her," are you dreaming of your lover".
Ha yeon started to blush with embarassment and she suddenly turned around and threw something at that person," Jung- sia , mind your words it's not me who is day dreaming, it must be you dreaming about that prince".
Sia came near and sat in the swing beside Yeon-a and rested her head on her shoulder and started to speak in low voice that could be only heard by them," Yeon-a, promise even after our marriage your love for me should never disappear".
Yeon-a caressing her hair," how will my love for you will disappear ,Sia when you are my only friend,my only sister and my only family".
Sia wrapped her hands around Yeon-a 's hand and continued," let's raise our kids together as siblings,what do you think?". Yeon-a replied it with a calm smile.
Lee Ha yeon was the daughter of a martyr who sacrificed his life for the country in a war. In that war the Lee family mansion was completely burnt. Ha yeon being the sole survivor of the massacre was left with a commrade of her father,a famous master wang Sehun for about 3 years . From there Jung Sia's father Minister Jung who was also Lee family's acquaintance took Ha yeon into Jung family as the adopted daughter and gave her proper education and training under Sehun according to her wish. Besides being adopted daughter the Jung family treated Ha yeon very well especially,the true daughter Jung Sia. Being same age both of them grew fond of each other and slowly that fond turned into love,trust and protection. Only if Sia was not betrothed to the misterious crown prince, people would have thought they were really a couples.
Everything was good until, until that day before Ha yeon caught the eye of a misterious noble young master while teaching her apprentice some sword moves. If it was said only the young master fell for her it would be wrong. Ha yeon didn't knew if it was his tall height,or strong physique and or his deep red eye like shining ruby which softly gazed at her caught her eyes . But whatever that reason at that silent, beautiful evening they found their love .
Initially it was just a small crush, slowly it turned to friendship and at last they both fell madly in love. They both started to meet even in night, walking through streets , having drinks, speaking for long hours ,even things they never shared to other, for them it was like finally they found a shoulder to release all their pain without being self conscious. They knew all the basic things about eachother ,infact both didn't care much of each other's family the only thing they needed to know is each other's name," Ha yeon and Munseok". Jung family also didn't opposed the idea . Especially Sia who was thrilled to know finally her cold soulmate's heart is melted by a man , even though she never saw him ,she knew Ha yeon will choose the right man.
Soon , Ha yeon went to serve army for a while still staying in contact with Sia and Seok. Unfortunately,Sia was married off to the crown prince while she was still in millitary. Even though both were sad they smiled and pray for eachother .
After 3 years of her military service , Ha yeon came back to capital ,while she step offed the carriage she had an unreadable expression,sad and guilt something like that and soon she head to a place not to the Jung family or to the palace to see her dear Sia but to somewhere else. It was an inn , a secluded inn. She went inside a room and a young man in 20s that is almost same age of her or even a little older is sitting there ,it was none other than Munseok. But this time seeing him didn't bring her happiness rather it brought anger.
Munseok stood up and smiled at her like he waited an eternity for her," My dear ,you are back".
Yeon-a stormed at him with anger and grabbed his clothes tightly along with her mana," you jerk! How dare you to betray me?"
Munseok slowly wipped tears that fell from her eyes ,"I am sorry Yeon-a,i didn't knew it from start, i understood the things only after I fell in love with you".
Yeon-a shook her hands and pushed him away and tears started to flow from her tears,"then why didn't you tell me, why did you hide that you are the crown prince betrothed to my sister,if she knew I was with her husband all along then she will hate me."
Seok holding her hands tightly," Yeon-a, don't worry I will protect you , I will make you my consort , I will take you to the palace".
A slap shutted his mouth," How dare you to bark in front of me like ?". She started walking out from the room but out of a blue Munseok grabbed her hands and left with no time to react he caste a spell on her which made her number and fall on ground.
He came closer to her and whispered in her ears," Don't worry my love I will not hurt you".
Munseok slowly kissed her and undressed her , and closed the curtain.
When she woke up Munseok was sitting beside her ,she was still naked ,her eyes were still wet ,her body was still number but she slowly sit on the bed and wore a robe she got . Munseok came near her with guilt but he stopped seeing her death glare . Munseok took a glass of water and sat near her," Yeon-a,I know you are angry but I am sorry ,I was not able to control myself, please forgive me Yeon-a".
Yeon-a laughed out a little smirk hiding her pain," Crown prince Munseok, you know red phoneix are pretty good in mating and their child cannot be aborted easily right? And you are calling yesterday a mistake, Kim Munseok". Saying this Yeon-a wore her clothes and took her sword to walk out but she was held and pulled closer to Munseok by him.
Munseok eyes filled with tears," Yeon-a, I am telling the truth , in my entire life I only loved you and that Sia she drugged me to be pregnant, I am really loyal to you".
Yeon-a doubted the word again," Sia is pregnant". She knew it will be a disaster a night with imperial family means undeniably conceiving a child which cannot be get rid of.
By the time the thought of escaping crossed that 21 years old girl's mind it was already late , a person opened the door ,the very person who she was eager to meet met her at the worst time .
A sound was heard in that still air," Sia".
Sia's eyes filled with tears , she knew her husband had hooked up with someone behind her back but never in her life she thought that very person she hated ,the very person she trusted to sow discord between her and her husband, the very person which seduced her pure husband would be the very person she loved the most in this world.
Sia came near to Yeon-a and held her hand and asked to her shivering and doubtful yet with a hope," Yeon-a why are you here, I heard my husband is with some other girl ,have you seen someone?"
Yeon-a 's head went down with guilt. Sia looked at Munseok who was standing beside her holding her hand, her body moved away from them in disbelief. She looked at Yeon-a,it was not the usual look of love, this time the gaze was filled with hatred, she slapped Yeon-a so hard that she started to bleed from her lips but rather than the cut that hurted a thousands of cut formed her heart which gave her the pain near to death but never actually taking it, it was the moment when a greatest warrior lost a war, the war of life.
Munseok tried to take Sia outside but she pushed him away and pointed at Yeon-a and said with tearful eyes," Lee Ha yeon, I hope you have a happy life with your child and your husband in the palace".
Ha yeon entered the palace and lived near to Sia like they once dreamed but Sia never looked at her Yeon-a again. A love once echoed through the whole place disappeared in hatred. At that day , three people's heart was broken.....
