"No no no nO!! THOSE FLOWERS DON'T uGH nOooOo!!!" A shrill echoed throughout the dining hall. Angry clinking of heels prick the ears of everyone present.

"Why can't you do your job well? Can't you see what the others are doing? Can't you follow?" The new Head Maid screeched as everyone's eyes focused on them.

"I-I'm s-sorry." The newcomer was close to tears.

"Ms Kwon." A firm voice sounded and everyone showed the crown of their heads as they bowed in deep respect.

"Y-Your Highness. Pardon my loud voice. This maid wasn't following instructions and I was trying to discipline-" Byul raised a hand, cutting her off.

"Who is she?" Byul asked.

"Eh? Who might you be referring to...?" Ms Kwon asked with caution.

"Her." Byul nodded her head towards the unfamiliar face.

"Yoo Jin. Choi Yoo Jin. I'm the new servant. Pleased to meet you, Your Highness."

"Newcomer. Ms Kwon, you shouldn't be raising your voice at her. You weren't treated like her when you were new, were you?" Byul walked past her, leaving Ms Kwon flustered.

"Get back to work! There's nothing much to see!" She stomped off in slight embarrassment.

In a room were bright lights illuminating from the sides of the mirror set on the dressing table. In front of the mirror sat Byul, with a hair stylist behind her.

The room was in a mess, expensive makeup sets and boxes set on the floor, racks of different dressed hung in pure beauty, shoes were arranged neatly in their pairs but were much of an attempted failure due to servants rushing here and there to make sure everything was there.

Comfortably nestled in her hands were a bouquet of red and white roses. Byul nervously fondled with the petals of the roses as she got her hair done in a beautiful fishtail braid.

"We'll be moving on to makeup now." The hair stylist stepped away and let the makeup artist take her place.

"It's been awhile." The makeup artist smiled at her through the mirror.

"It has been awhile indeed." Byul chuckled.

"You trust me on this?"

"As always."

"Now, let's all rise and welcome the Royal bride and groom." Seokmin was once again the Emcee of their wedding.

Except, this time, it was a closed event only for close friends and family. No ceremony or whatsoever. Guests and family were sat in front of a ridiculously long table made just for this occasion. A wide spread of scrumptious dishes were served over a 5-course meal; dessert wasn't left out of course.

"To end this wonderful night, let's invite the bride and groom to kiss!"

"Yah! Lee Seok Min! I am a thousand percent sure that isn't in that cue card of yours!" Vernon protested as he sent a warning glance towards the said man.

"Ayeeee everyone do you all want that? Kiss. Kiss. Kiss." Seokmin started chanting, inviting even the King and Queen to follow.

Under the immense pressure, the couple stood as they stared at the each other before shying away.

"Aigoo, our Byul's cheeks are turning bright red! Hansol's too!" The King cooed, making the two hide their faces further.

Regaining their composure, they stared at one another, losing themselves in each other orbs.

Vernon gently cupper her face and everyone cheered on, the servants peeking through their hands as they anticipated. It was like watching some korean drama on TV, leaving people on the edge of their seats in eagerness.

"I'm forever thankful towards you."

"And my love for you never dies."

Vernon dipped down, capturing her lips with his own. Everyone clapped and the servants squealed, hitting one another in pure excitement.

"I love you." He whispered.

"I love you more." She whispered.

Vernon pulled away before engulfing her in a bear hug.

"Papa." A high-pitched voice interrupted the sweet moment.

Vernon turned to Vanessa, who stared at him with those beautiful eyes of hers, hands outstretched asking him to hold her.

Byul cupped a hand over mouth to stop her sobs. "Baby girl, did you call me?" Vernon tried hard to hold his tears back as he lifted the baby in his arms.

"Papa!!!" She squealed in happiness in her dad's arms.

"Thank you baby girl." Vernon kissed Vanessa's cheeks.

"I wanna hug too." Victor sulked as he crossed his arms in front of his chest, feeling left out.

"Oh come here my sweetie." Byul pulled her son in her embrace.

"I'll never let you all go. Never." Vernon whispered.
