Time and situation both changes according to the environment around yours... And that's how person nature, their behavior also changes...... Seven years later, the palace of Seoul kingdom, is decorated for the occasion of the king's marriage.... The king is getting married to one of the princess of the state of Korea...... The princess was brought from Wonju to Seoul to a special cottage made for her...... But she wasn't there as a slave but as a royal guest..... She stayed over a year and half and finally was able to give e heir to royal kingdom of Korea..... The pure blooded royal heir...... Not from any slaves but from a princess..... The status that made the little infant and the princess to the Queen of Seoul kingdom......

Maids are preparing her for the marriage as perfumes and jewelries are worn on her hand and neck...... Canfeeda, the royal physician of Royal family, is preparing her hair as the makeup was finished...... One of the maid came with a crown and placed it on her hair......

As her final touches are finished, the door of her room opened reavealing Hawoon, who is now 23 years old, looking brightful with her youthful glaze , entered into the Queen chamber that is alloted for the Queen..... Queen turned around and look at Hawoon who bowed a little bit as the queen looked at her clothing..... The pastel pink color and work of the golden embroidery, Jade earrings and ruby rings on her fingers and a golden crown on her head.... Clearly or unclearly declaring that she is the Queen or something.... When she gets to know she is just a concubine of prince Taehyung, the another prince of Royal blooded......

Hawoon: Princess So Ryun, everyone is waiting for you.....

Hawoon said as So Ryun frowned her eyebrows hearing her words... Princess So Ryun?!!! Huh!!! She took her full name?!!!

So Ryun: Don't you think, you should be calling me My Queen or your highness????

Hawoon looked at So Ryun with a little smile which obviously looked like a sarcasm as she said," You are still not married to King, princess...."

So Ryun gritted her teeth in anger as she somehow managed to control herself as she stand up and went to the cabinet and pulled out a big pouch .....

So Ryun: This is Yours.... I heard concubine doesn't get to pay often... But I as a Queen assure you, I will take care of you all well....

People around So Ryun gasped a little hearing her words as so Ryun heard it but decided to ignore it...... She openly insulted Hawoon by calling her concubine...... When no one in the palace thought her now as it anymore......

Hawoon looked at the pouch for a moment and she took it from her hands making So Ryun smiled in victory thinking she has won but soon her smile got vanished hearing Hawoon's words.....

Hawoon: Ae-jin, distribute this pouch of gold coins among king Namjoon other concubines.... Tell them that, I give them as a compansation for the emotional damages they're going to suffer because of the future Queen of Korea ..... Tell them, I pity them all....

She said those words smiling at her as Hawoon turned around and get out of the room leaving So Ryun as everyone started to go too..... Only So Ryun and her handmaiden was there in the room..... The handmaiden came towards So Ryun and said," Your highness, Don't let your anger consume you and ruin your beautiful day.... After you are crowned as a Queen, You are deal with her..... "

So Ryun breath heavily as she swore that she will make Hawoon pay for the insult......

Time skip

There's a celebration going on in the harem at night as the arrival of new Queen...... The new dishes of delicious and palatable foods and drinks.... The dancers are dancing and having their entertainment...... The New Queen, Kim So Ryun smiled seeing this as she is looking at her own celebration.......

" Make Way!!!!! Queen Mother and Queen dowager is coming!!!!!", The palace guard said as everyone stopped what they're doing and went on a line and lowered their heads to greet them......

Queen Mother and Queen dowager entered into the Harem as everyone bowed to them.... Behind them, Hawoon is also coming which So Ryun didn't like a bit......

The Queen Mother sit in the middle of the throne and beside her, Queen dowager sit as she doesn't in the mood of sitting in the middle as it's not her son got married..... So, Queen dowager let her do what she wanted to do for now...... Hawoon went to the other side where Sei wei and other concubines are sitting.....

Queen Mother gesture everyone to start what they're doing..... So Ryun decided to meet her as she looked around and gesture her handmaiden as she came with her child and give it to So Ryun.... She went towards Queen Mother and Queen dowager and greet them .....

So Ryun: Your highness, Our Son, Kim young suk.....

She give it to Queen Mother as she looked at the heir of the kingdom...... On the other side, Hawoon is seeing everything as Harin saw where her Older sister is looking.....

Harin: you will have a hard time controlling her......

Hawoon looked at Harin with a bored expression and said," I will ..... But I won't give up...... By the way, how is your life going with prince Hoseok??? Prince Hoseok Mother still didn't accept you??? If you want, I will talk to her regarding this......"

Harin: you don't need to Unnie, I will handle it.... By the way, when you will get married with prince Taehyung???

Hawoon showed a sad smile on her face and said," you know my answer already.... We can't marry.... He is a royal blood prince.... He can't marry me..... "

Harin hold her elder sister hand and said," It doesn't matter... See, I got married when I was a slave..... Hoseok freed me from the slavery and I became a free woman and married to him..... So, it's not impossible.... Look at me and have hope... Sooner or later it will happen... Mark my words!!!"

Hawoon smiled hearing that as Nari decided to speak....

Nari: I want to go to my chamber....

Hawoon and Harin immediately get up and helped their aunt to get up and slowly took her to the chamber.... Out of them, their aunt has suffered the most in this seven years...... She lost her child three times and almost died but didn't give up on having child......So, everyone is extra careful around her......

After putting Nari to her chamber, Harin went to her room as Hawoon decided to go to her chamber as she cross her path with someone she hate..... Those eyes are looking at her with no shame.... Still his gaze is lustful towards her..... Hawoon's blood boils seeing him..... Jeon Jungkook.....

Jungkook smiled creepily seeing Hawoon as he went towards her but Hawoon didn't back off like she used to do seven years ago..... He liked the fear in hawoon's eyes.... He loved that quivering lips of her being afraid of him.... But right now, she isn't showing any... Which instigate him the most.....

Jungkook: I am really glad to see you, my bunny.... You became more beautiful than seven years ago.....

Hawoon clenches her teeth hearing his words..... She looked at him with a rage and said," what do you want from me???"

Jungkook smiled hearing her question... Same question she has been asking since seven years.... He loves to torment her like this... This desperation make him to do this to her more.....

Jungkook: you know the answer, Hawoon.... I want you.... Be mine... I can give you everything or anything you want.... Maybe more than Taehyung.... And it's not like that we don't share concubines.... My late father did that too... Jimin's mother is a perfect example of it..... So, consider my offer.....

Hawoon felt disgusting hearing the words of Jungkook.... She wanted to get away from here and be in Taehyung's arms.... She feels secure in there..... As jungkook was going touch her face a hand hold jungkook's hand's from doing so..... Jungkook looked at the person who has dared to do that and found Jimin looking at him with no expression in his face......

Jimin listen everything that Jungkook said to Hawoon.... He doesn't want to take part in it but he saw Hawoon who is looking so afraid of jungkook..... Jungkook didn't see but Jimin saw how much Hawoon is holding herself to be strong.....

Jimin: I suggest you to go your room, Lady Hawoon.....

Hawoon bowed a little and went away from them leaving this two brothers.... Jungkook yanked his hands from Jimin's hold and said," Don't interfere in my thing, Jimin.... Or I won't hesitate in yours!!!!!"

Jimin: She is not interested in you, Jungkook... So let go of your Obsession because it won't go well for you just like it didn't to our father.... In the end, he died because of his obsession towards his concubines and his drunken state.... You are becoming like him which is why, I pity you out of everyone.....

Jimin said those words and left from there leaving Jungkook alone who is glaring at Jimin's disappearing figure....
