Can I See You Again
You'll Regret
Leaning on a long-stretched cot on the balcony of her residence, the queen, who was about to carry the joy, crossed her hands on her chest shortly after welcoming the arrival of her son, Prince Yul.
"Why bring such a grim face to meet your mother?" ask the queen in her disappointed tone. Prince Yul, his forehead wrinkled. His face brought no happiness. He continued to grumble throughout his daydream.
"Prince Yul!" call the queen surprise. Prince Yul whose soul went nowhere, now managed to restore consciousness.
"I'm sorry, Queen Mother."
The queen smiled happily. He giggled at the surprised reaction of his son. At that time, Prince Hon was there as well. Unlike his older brother, Prince Hon met his bright-faced mother. Happy as always. He looked at his older brother, Prince Yul. Through the instant look he did, somehow Prince Hon felt something was wrong with the brother.
He landed his hand gently on the thigh of the older brother who was busy with his world. "Sister, what's wrong? Until you look moody like this?" prince Hon asked very politely.
Prince Yul gave no answer to his brother. He just sat closer to the queen's side with that gloomy face of his. Prince Hon was still there, could only be astonished.
"The Queen's mother, about the wedding, do I have to do it?" ask Prince Yul. Suddenly, the question rattled Prince Hon's curiosity. He immediately turned to pay attention to what his brother was trying to negotiate.
The queen grabbed the beautiful porcelain in front of them, sipping a few times before finally laughing out loud. The queen was very happy.
"Your marriage and the daughter of the Chief Minister of War are mature decisions that have been considered well into the day. Even before you were born, this deal was made first. This is the will of the country, and not a matter of playfulness," the queen replied a little casually.
Prince Hon was unable to give a response, only able to sit quietly inside there listening to them. He glanced slightly at the elder brother, discovering how Prince Yul squeezed his luxurious robe with a fist. Seeing him, Prince Hon immediately looked at his brother's face from the side, noticing the gaps of rejection that Prince Yul might lay soon.
"She's a pretty, smart girl. Marrying such a girl will bring good luck to us. Aside from her father being very influential to the palace, she could be a first aid to us later on" explained the queen.
"Later day? What's that supposed?" inner Prince Hon tried to calm down, pretending not to know.
"Queen's mother, I like other girls outside the palace. She was also the daughter of an influential person in this palace," Prince Yul denied.
The queen placed the beautiful porcelain with a face that was still smiling. "Who's the girl?" ask queen.
"Hong Jin-Yi, the daughter of the secretary of state."
Prince Hon who was sipping his drink at the time, just choked helplessly. Her brother's answer made her shake her head. Really unexpected. The queen glanced at Prince Hon who did not stop coughing, it was obvious that his youngest son was shocked. Again the queen turned to Prince Yul, pouring the fragrant tea into Prince Yul's cup carefully.
"The girl is one of three candidates for the Crown Prince's wife ever elected. The government's laws have already set that up. Two out of three candidates who are not elected can no longer be married by someone who is lower than the Crown Prince. After all, Ara is a girl I really like. You just take everything with a chest. Soon enough, you'll be off your single status."
Prince Yul cannot be cut. He just kept trying to smile. Meanwhile, Prince Hon who was confused about the situation tried to restore the atmosphere to become warmer.
"I'm very happy, because all my sisters have very qualified partners and potential partners. I would be very happy, if the palace chose the best girl like the Crown Prince's wife and Prince Yul's future wife for me as well."
The heartfelt words of praise from Prince Hon managed to crush the tension between them. Prince Yul tried to be more relieved. True, there is no other way to win the goal, other than to follow a good destiny thanks to the direction of the mother. Inevitably, the marriage must be accepted. Like it or not, Ara will still be his wife.

Princess Shin stepped quickly towards Youra's residence. Getting word of her sister falling ill, made her bring those emotions buried in grief to meet Youra. Just counting the days, Princess Shin would soon marry a man she did not love. The news of his marriage had left him deeply hurt, plus bad news about his sister giving an even deeper shot at the wound in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the Princess is here."
"Allow enter," Youa ordered along with Princess Shin's entry. Her puffy face and reddened eyes became the first impression of Youra when she looked at him. Princess Shin bowed her body in salute. He bowed for a long time, until Youra wondered at him.
A few drops of tears from Princess Shin's bowing eyes fell to the floor. Princess Shin sobbed, long enough. Youra was surprised and approached him immediately.
"Daughter, what happened?"
No answer, but...
Princess Shin's right hand landed sweetly on Youra's cheek. Stunned him for a while, until finally stunned to the floor.
"You promised me to take care of my sister. As a wife what have you done to let her get sick?" No need to think long, Princess Shin just rained all those worries on Youra.
Princess Shin's servants approached. "Mr Princess, what have you done? You will receive punishment if you act disrespectfully to the future queen of this land." They pulled and restrained Princess Shin's body which seemed to have been gnawed away in anger.
"Don't you know how hard it is for me to survive in this palace?! What will happen to the Crown Prince if I am not in the palace anymore?!" Princess Shin shouted, covered in tears.
The servants held Princess Shin's body, but they were powerless to act any more than that. Princess Shin releases the detention from the servants. He walked up to Youra who was sitting resignedly on the floor.
Princess Shin finally gathered in front of Youra who was still very surprised. He approached, looking fixedly at Youa who was currently staring at him.
"I'm staying here, it's for my brother. If I get married, I'll be out of here soon and can't look after her anymore. Then, what are you gonna do? What?!!" Princess Shin shouted at Youra's face, no matter how many servants looked.
Youra tried to cultivate her patience. "Daughter Shin, it seems that you are being very depressed because of this marriage," Youa replied as if she did not feel care.
Princess Shin pulled the collar of Youra's shirt until Youra's body was drawn before her. "You must keep your promise to give love to my sister. If you don't do it, I'll never forgive you." Princess Shin lowered her tone.
However, the furious Youa was no longer able to hold back. Right in Princess Shin's ear, she whispered a painful sentence to him.
"Daughter, I know you're very depressed about marrying a man you don't love. I don't know, you're so depressed because you have a boyfriend or because you don't like that guy. It's just, you should know one thing..." Youa smiled faintly, turning her gaze before finally continuing her sentence.
"Whatever you're feeling right now, is exactly how I felt when I married your despicable sister."
DEG
For some reason, Youra's words were like a great lash to Princess Shin. Let alone to refute him, even to blink it felt like he was incapable. Her breath is amazing. He raised his face glaring sharply at Youra. Immediately he stood up while continuing to stare intently at his brother-in-law.
"Youra Lee..."
Princess Shin took her breath slowly.
"If you think our fates are the same, I think you're wrong."
Princess Shin twisted her body to immediately come out of Youra's residence. He paused for a moment before the door of the room without turning to look at Youra.
"You are the .. who will regret it" he added.
Princess Shin finally left Youra's residence. Youra smiled, shaking her head in sympathies.
Of course our destiny is different, Princess. Because of me, not weak like you!

In front of the gate of Youra palace, Princess Shin stopped.
"Lee Youra .. My decision not to love my future husband is correct, because I know exactly who I will marry later.."
Shortly after, Princess Shin turned to face and stared at the luxurious building, teary-eyed.
"However, your decision to hate my sister, will make you regret it. Even crying to death, can't ease that regret."
