"Seol needs you." I scowled hearing his voice. I got up, turned and walked without him a glance and passed by-

He stopped me by my arms. "We can talk-"

I pushed his arms off but he held me tighter. "Don't make this any harder." I could hear his seething anger and I just know that it'll grow more the longer I do this. I couldn't care less.

I pulled my arm off of him and walked right away.

I got to the chamber and Mr. Seong is still carrying her. "Can I, Mr. Seong?"

He handed her to me and Mr. Seong took his staff and left me alone.

"Good evening princess~" I cheered and she giggled. "Mmmm" she wants to speak and it's so amusing how fast she's growing.

Oh wait, I have to wash my hands clean first. "I will just wash my hands okay bub?" I placed her down the crib and quickly rushed to the bathroom so she wouldn't be fussy.

I came back out to see her entertaining herself.

I picked her up and sat myself on the bed and proceeded to feed her. I brush her hair with my hand, "your father can be hurtful, princess, i hope you grow to be compassionate and mostly to your people one day."

She just looks at me, too caught up in breastfeeding. I smiled at her.

-

I placed her down the crib, too deep in her slumber. She was too talkative to Mr. Seong to not get tired.

Now, I should shower.

I went inside the glass enclosure and let the warm water relax me.

I sighed heavily.

After all that, I wrapped my body in a towel and went out the bathroom to see Majesty waiting on the door.

I instantly avoided his eyes and decided to go to the closet.

He stopped me and held my waist. "I apologize, i did not-" i removed his hand but then his other hand tightly gripped my arm and he aggressively turned my body to face him.

"Talk to me." He said through his gritted teeth. Exactly how do I talk to him?

I wanted to walk away so he held my face and made me look at him. His face is scowling, and he did that to himself.

"How do you want my apology, hm? Say it." He scowled further. Hissing his words.

I have no mood whatsoever to speak but he's getting on my nerves. "Start by not hurting me, Majesty."

He just then realized that he was holding my arm and face too tight. He let me go and I proceeded to go inside the closet.

I checked my arm and it's red, the same goes to my jaw. I sighed. He has to control his temper now that he has a daughter.

I know he wouldn't lay a fingernail on her but he has to control everything.

I came back out dressed and this time, I'm wearing underwear beneath my dress even if I am only sleeping.

I will for sure not follow his command anymore to sleep bare since he views me as a harlot.

I scan the room and he's nowhere.

My mind has been beaten up today from fatigue. I might as well sleep to feel recharged once Seol wakes up even before dawn.

-

My eyes shot open hearing her cry. It's four in the morning and it is her feeding time.

I quickly got to my feet, all groggy and got her. I noticed that Majesty isn't here. Good.

I fed Seol while playing with her hands and feet to entertain her.

I should sing her a song she's never sung to before.

Lavender's blue, dilly, dilly
Lavender's green
When I am king, dilly, dilly
You shall be queen
Who told you so, dilly, dilly
Who told you so?
'Twas mine own heart, dilly, dilly
That told me so

Call up your men, dilly, dilly
Set them to work
Some to the plough, dilly, dilly

Some to the fork
Some to make hay, dilly, dilly
Some to reap corn
While you and I, dilly, dilly
Keep ourselves warm

Roses are red, dilly, dilly
Violets are blue
Because you love me, dilly, dilly
I will love you
Let the birds sing, dilly, dilly
And the lambs play
We shall be safe, dilly, dilly
Out of harm's way

After I sang to her, her eyes fluttered close. I believe I have a song for her then. I placed and tucked her in her crib.

I went back to my side of the bed to continue my sleep.

-

I opened my eyes slowly, sunlight passing through the windows and curtains. I should really avoid facing the big window everytime i sleep, it keeps waking me up too early in the morning.. I looked at the crib and I saw no sign of Seol.

I gasped and abruptly sat when a big arm was clinging around my hips. "She's with Seong." his deep voice reverberated around this room. So that's the heavy weight I was feeling.

This never happened before, we would just sleep separately. I held his arm to remove it from me but he hugged me instead. "Lay down."

"No." I wanted to get up but he hugged me tighter until he got me to fully lay back down again.

I could just feel the tension in my forehead- wait? Why do I feel the blanket.. I looked down on my body and I'm naked. Argh, he must've done it when I was deep asleep.

I do however feel him naked behind me. Nothing can really stop this man.. I sighed to stop myself from getting enraged. "So that's how pissed you are to me, you cover your body-"

"Let me go.'' I felt his breath on my neck. "I can not start my day with you still mad at me, and you surely can't roam around if you still feel the need to slap me." I'm glad he's well aware of that.
