I'm doing this pain just for you, so don't ever ask me again how much I love you
♡♡♡♡♡
Aunt Ma sighed softly as Hagi remained stubbornly away to ascertain the state of Crown Princess Shin Min Ah's sister, even though she herself was still unwell.
But when hearing Hagi say this was one of the reasons he was here, Aunt Ma stopped forbidding Hagi to leave, Aunt Ma still remembered how Hagi's body turned transparent because Shin Min ah was in danger, aunt Ma doesn't want that to happen again. She did not want anything to happen to Hagi, Aunt Ma already loved Hagi very much.
"Maybe today I'm home at night, eomma and Appa can go back to the Park residence this afternoon." Hagi put a hat on his head then looked at Eomma and his adoptive appa who was still looking at him softly.
"This time I'll be fine, believe me. I just want to make sure Shin Min ah is in the situation, and again I have to give an explanation to Mr. Kim Jong Seo and also Kyuhyun about what happened. I'm not sure they'll believe it. But I'll try to make them understand my condition depends on their marriage." Uncle Ma gave a sigh and then gave a small nod, Hyunmie himself could already understand Hagi's reason but the Kim brothers could not accept Hagi's explanation.
"Eomma's coming back tonight, he'll bring you some seaweed soup." Hagi gave a small nod and then stepped his foot out of the house. This time he would slowly advance his horse, he did not want to make anyone worry about him.
As expected, Minister Hagi Kim and Kim Jong Seo were also at Minister Shin's residence, although the aura of hostility was evident between them, the two had to adjust considering that they would become a family.
"I can't let the man who intends to kill my daughter be let go." It is clear that the Shin minister suspects his candidate because Kim requested that the matter not be extended. Hagi bit his lips slowly, this time he hoped that Minister Kim would help him a little because Hagi was sure that Minister Kim knew who was behind the attack on Shin's residence last night.
"Didn't your own niece say that last night was just a robbery. Things like this have not happened often in Hanyang? I just don't want to prolong the trouble and end up interrupting the marriage of our two children." Minister Shin frowned confusedly, he suspected his besieging because he might not want his daughter to marry his son. But seeing that minister Kim still wants to marry the two, the suspicion of minister Shin is reduced.
"Then why should my daughter be attacked if they're just plain robbers?" Minister Kim exhaled a little annoyed, his iron candidate is still not giving up. Kim Jong-seo himself has been silent since then not helping the Kim minister, it is clear that his son does not care even hope this marriage fails.
Seeing that Hagi came forward, he had to figure out a way for Shin's minister to be unsuspecting of anyone.
"I'm sorry if I interfered. But can I come and explain what happened last night?" Everyone stared at Hagi quickly as Kim's minister breathed a little sigh of relief, in contrast to Jong Seo who seemed to dislike Hagi's presence.
"Are you not one of the King's bodyguards?" Minister Shin's question was only in reply to Hagi's respectful greeting.
"Overnight I helped eradicate the robbers who came, I happened to want to meet Nam Young who was indeed being assigned by His Majesty to guard the candidate for the crown princess. Last night Shin Min Ah tried to protect the future Crown Princess who seemed to want to fight back when the robbers were intent on looting the treasure here. That was the reason why Shin Min ah was injured. Isn't that Nam Young_ssi?" Nam Young who had been silent since then and happened to be there was quite surprised by Hagi's words and only confirmed Hagi's words when he saw the eye code that Hagi gave.
Seeing that the Shin minister had finally breathed a surrender, he also actually did not want to marry off his daughter to the minister of the western Faction, it was very heavy for him who was the minister of the southern Faction. But this marriage was arranged by the King so that he could not do much.
"Alright, I won't prolong this matter, I just hope the robbers get caught quickly." The speech was successful in making everyone breathe a different sigh of relief with Jong Seo in seeming ready to leave. He can't stand it there anymore.
"Jong Seo where are you going? You haven't even seen your fiance." Minister Kim tried to prevent his first son from leaving.
"Aboeji isn't enough? I don't think I'm feeling well, excuse me." Jong-seo left without regard to the call of Kim minister again which made him pester. Hagi who saw him looked at his ancestor grimly.
"Lord let me persuade Mr. Jong Seo." Minister Kim nodded when he heard Hagi's words.
Before pursuing Jong Seo, Hagi asked about Shin Min ah's situation to Nam Young. Hagi could breathe a sigh of relief because it seemed like Shin Min ah had improved.
"Say why you lied?" Nam Young's question restrains Hagi who wants to get back on her Horse.
"You remember when we went on a mission to welcome the Yuan envoy? I wasn't always honest, was I? But I didn't do it for no reason. I just want to protect everything, you know what I mean?" Nam Young took a slow breath, What Hagi said is right, after thinking again if this problem gets longer there will be many other problems that arise.
"I don't know what you're really hiding, but what you said earlier, if to protect everything I'd follow your words and trust you." Hagi smiled slightly, he was grateful Nam Young was on his side, Nam Young also always understood his decision.
"Thank you..." Nam Young just smiled as he nodded his head lightly.
"Go, convince General Jong Seo that this is all for the good of all parties." Hagi nodded and then returned to his horse, although a little unsure that Jong Seo was there, Hagi decided to come to the residence of the Kim minister. During the journey Hagi began to rack his brain so that his grandfather would marry his ancestors, his existence is still threatened if Jong seo still does not want to marry Shin Min Ah.
"What should I tell him? Do I have to say that I'm his great-grandson from the future?"
Hagi's head felt dizzy for a long time he did not know what to say to Jong Seo in order to continue his marriage with Shin min ah.
H
agi was quite grateful that Jong Seo was indeed in his residence, but he looked frustrated in front of a fish pond behind his house. Hagi actually could not bear to separate Hyunmie and Jong seo saw the two were so in love with each other, but Hagi was also faced with a difficult choice. The existence of the Kim family's descendants could change if Jong Seo remains married to Hyun Mie including him who will disappear from this world.
"Jong Seo_ssi." Jong Seo looked at Hagi flat and turned his gaze back to the pool.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hagi let out a small breath, Jong Seo seemed to be really angry at him right now.
"I won't ban you. I'll even support you getting married to Hyunmie." Hagi's words successfully make Jong seo look at Hagi confused, Jong Seo thought Hagi intended to persuade him again to marry Shin Min ah.
"Whatchu mean? Are you playing me now? You think this is funny?" It is clear that Jong Seo held back his emotions when he felt at the game by Hagi.
"I'm serious, but you will lose a lot if you continue to force your desire to marry Hyunmie." Jong Seo snorted annoyedly, last night Hagi had already said that.
"I know you said it was possible that my parents were executed, right? But in retrospect, Your Majesty won't be that crazy, just because the marriage he arranged failed." Hagi nodded in understanding then Hagi sat down next to Jong seo who looked uncomfortable Hagi sitting next to her.
"You're right, but if I wasn't there you'd still lose your family and maybe even your king." Jong Seo frowned confusedly.
"What do you mean?"
"You don't forget who saved Kyuhyun and also King Sejong from the hit men first. And who saved the Kim minister from being accused of being an admirer of the Yuan envoy's welcome yesterday and his corruption." Hearing that Jong seo back provoked his emotions.
"You'd better just go ahead and not have to beat around the bush." Hagi smiled slightly.
"Does this also have anything to do with you turning transparent last night?" Hagi gave a small nod making Jong Seo throw away face from Hagi, last night Jong Seo really felt a little afraid to see Hagi who disappeared for 2 seconds.
"I heard from Uncle Ma you're not from this world? If not where are you from?" Hagi bit his lips confused should he tell Jong Seo now.
"Among the many people who are here, maybe only you will know in detail who I really am. But I can't say it yet. All I can say now is that if I'm not of this world, I'm here to carry out a mission that includes getting you married to Shin min ah." Jong Seo growled in frustration then rubbed his face furiously.
"But why? Why should I marry Shin Min Ah?" Hagi stared intently at Jong seo who was still questioning this repeatedly making Jong seo sigh resignedly.
"I know, but why should I? Why not Kyuhyun?" This time Jong Seo showed a sulky face that made Hagi roll her eyes slightly.
"Why do you keep asking me something you already know the answer to?" This time Hagi raised his voice a little, however, Hagi believes Jong Seo is smart enough to judge the situation as Kim is.
Jong-seo bowed his head in annoyance, he knew the answer well, all because of his position as the oldest general and son of minister Kim also because he was most dear to King Sejong. It was used by the King to dampen the state of the southern and western factions that are still turbulent due to the election of the crown princess. The king also seems to be planning to have the two factions connected together in order to keep supporting the crown prince in the future.
Jong Seo was a little confused how could Hagi also think the same way as him? If this kind of Jong seo already can not argue the smart girl next to him anymore.
"I'm still confused as to why you know the situation to this detail?" Hagi again exhaled a little irritated breath.
"Don't I say I'm not from this world? Can you just think I know everything?" Jong Seo snorted annoyedly, where he might analyze it like that. But if you think again Hagi is always helpful in any problem and strangely Hagi can always solve it without kendal all this time, as if he was already prepared to face all the problems that exist.
"Please, marry Min ah, if you can't do it for me at least do it for Kyuhyun and Kim's minister." This time Hagi again begged Jong seo to make Jong Seo sigh in frustration.
In view of the circumstances that he had no other choice, he also did not want to be happy on the bodies of his sister and father, if what Hagi said was true.
"But are you okay? Kyuhyun are you really going to let go of Kyuhyun for Hyunmie?" Hagi could only smile mirically, just like Jong seo, Hagi also had no other choice.
"I could have kept Kyuhyun from marrying Hyunmie, but after that what? I don't know when exactly I'm back in my world."
"You mean you won't stay here forever?" Hagi looked at Sayu towards Jong seo who was slightly surprised by Hagi's words.
"You're lucky even if you can't marry Hyunmie, you can still see her up close. But me? I can't even see her again if I go home to where I'm from." Jong Seo looked at Hagi concerned if in any way it turned out that Hagilah was the most injured here. Hagi sacrificed a lot and helped the Kim family and the Park family.
"I'm sorry we must have troubled you a lot." Jong Seo grimaced at the sight of the death of Hagi, for some reason now Jong Seo feels like a namja who is afraid of Yeoja even though in any case Hagi is below him.
"You just realized it? Cm, but it's my job here, what can I do." This time Jong Seo and Hagi drowned with their respective thoughts, long enough both of them fell silent until Jong seo broke the silence.
"Well, I'm getting married to Min ah, and Hyunmie has given up. I can't do anything anymore." Hagi smiled happily as he looked at Jong seo who just rolled his eyes while then smiling amusedly. This is the first time Jong Seo has seen the feminine side of Hagi, and it seems that Jong Seo is starting to realize why Kyuhyun can like Hagi. This girl is very kind and also brave.
*****
In the inner palace in King Sejong's private room, Kyuhyun is waiting for his King, there is a lot that Kyuhyun wants to convey to King Sejong, Kyuhyun did not know whether his king would grant his wish or not. But at least Kyuhyun had to give it a try, he was not willing to give up so easily.
After a long time waiting for King Sejong to come too, his face looked very tense. Kyuhyun was not only the King's bodyguard but was already like the King's own best friend, so Kyuhyun knew if there was anything that made him worry.
"You came at the right time, I have something I want to tell you. Can I say it first?" Kyuhyun who had not even saluted looked surprised when King Sejong had already preceded him to speak.
"Please Your Majesty." King Sejong took a slow breath then looked at Kyuhyun deeply.
"I will raise Hagi to be my concubine. Anni, I have to make her my concubine." King Sejong's words suddenly made Kyuhyun hold his breath, suddenly his heart felt out of place.
"Your highness..." King Serong breathed in frustration when he saw Kyuhyun's now severely injured face, he had already predicted this.
"Listen to me until it's over, I'm doing this not just for myself. But for you too." Kyuhyun closed his eyes for a moment then looked dazedly at his King.
"What does noble mean?" King Sejong again breathed a breath of breath when he saw his friend who was now very injured because of his decision again.
"Initially I wanted to cancel your marriage to Hyunmie and wish Hagi happiness with you, I knew you loved each other. I love him very much too. But if he's unhappy by my side, it'll all feel free. So I decided to give up." Kyuhyun was quite surprised when he heard that his King was willing to release Hagi for him, because Kyuhyun even everyone knew that King Sejong loved Hagi so much, that was why the female Hagi could become the King's personal bodyguard. Then why now does the King even want to make Hagi his concubine? If the King really wants to let Hagi go.
"But the letter from Yuan's envoy this morning made me take this decision Kyuhyun_ssi. They want Hagi as tribute." This time Kyuhyun stared at his King in disbelief how could Hagi be made a tribute? It had been a long time since Joseon had stopped paying tribute to Yuan in human form and replaced with gold and silver, but why now they are asking again.
"You remember yesterday's welcome? It seemed like Yuan's envoy was interested in Hagi, the envoy was intending to make Hagi a mistress. I would never have willing Hagi to be humbled at Yuan Kyuhyun_ssi, that's why I directly sent a letter to the messenger if Hagi was my new concubine. I even have Queen Seoheon take care of the appointment of Hagi to be a level 5 concubine tomorrow." Kyuhyun was completely out of words, he was disappointed, angry, sad and anxious all the feelings mixed into one that left Kyuhyun speechless.
"I'm sorry I know you must be disappointed in me, but in this way you can still see it, right?" Kyuhyun looked at his King in disbelief. Is this king still thinking about his feelings.
"Your highness..."
"That's why I still want you to marry Hyunmie, so that you can have enough strength to protect Hagi in the palace. You know Hagi is not a girl from among nobles, it will be difficult for her to survive in this palace without support. If you're married to Hyunmie other than you get a promotion, the power of Park's minister can also help you protect Hagi here." Kyuhyun swallowed his saliva suck, he did not expect his arrival here to beg Hagi to marry him to end up with a wound. Although what money King Sejong has is true, but somehow Kyuhyun can not deny if his heart still does not like the decision of his King.
"I know you want to marry her, don't you? But if you do that it's the same as if you're against Yuan's wishes, sorry instead of me lowering your position but you're just an ordinary bodyguard who doesn't have the influence to make Yuan stop chasing Hagi." Kyuhyun put his head in a deep position really he really wants to vent his anger now, at least his heart is now possible if it can be seen already very bloody, but Kyuhyun knows himself, at least, even though he was the King's friend, he had no right to oppose the King's wishes Even though Kyuhyun knew it was for his own good as well Hagi.
"Now help me to give Hagi some understanding of this, Hagi doesn't yet know anything he will definitely be very angry with my decision. Please persuade him." Kyuhyun looked at King Sejong in disbelief after all this should this King ask Kyuhyun to persuade Hagi?
"I don't think I can Your Majesty, it's too painful for me. For this matter can His Majesty just say it to Hagi?" King Sejong let out a small sigh, it seemed like he was indeed too selfish to ask Kyuhyun to speak to Hagi.
"All right, but you can grant my wish?" Kyuhyun once again closed his eyes and took a slow breath.
"If it's for Hagi, I'll do His Majesty." Kyuhyun looked at King Sejong with determination, if this way he could still see Hagi, Kyuhyun was ready to endure the pain he would feel later.
King Sejong smiled slightly he knew that he might be the one to love the most, but King Sejong knew that Hagi was not the ugly duckling that would become a swan. But from the beginning Hagi had become an eagle in the sky and the eagle that was accustomed to the sky would not stand still in the cage even if the cage was made of gold. King Sejong will also accept the consequences of his decision and the worst thing is that Hagi could hate him.
