Minho sighed as he and Chan just basked in each other's company. They were by themselves on the shore of a little waterfall in the woods that Minho had found a while ago. He'd been wanting to bring his fiance here for a while.

"I missed this." Chan whispered.

"This?" Minho echoed softly.

Chan smiled. "Just us. Together. Alone."

Minho gave him a sleepy smile, laying his head on the fireborn's chest. If he could just stay in this moment forever, he'd be happy forever. Moments like these were things he cherished. Knowing what was definitely coming in the next few months, he wanted to be able to remember times like this.

"I would burn the world for you." Chan said out of nowhere. Minho giggled at the abrupt statement.

"I don't doubt you would." He said, gently kissing his lover's jaw. Minho decided then and there that he wouldn't give the life he's living up for the world.

Minho suddenly lifted his head, staring Chan in the eyes. "I think I'm going to speak with Rosalina and Harley today."

Chan nodded softly. "If that's what you want. Take someone else with you, though. They may be locked up but I still don't trust them not to hurt you."

Minho rolled his eyes fondly. "They can't hurt me, Chan. I'll take someone else, though, if it'll make you happy."

Chan smiled. "It will. I know you can protect yourself, but I also know that you'll feel safer with someone else."

Minho sighed happily. Chan knew him so well.

The only person who hadn't been busy was Ember. Minho didn't mind either way, Chan's sisters were nice company. And Ember was strong. If anything went wrong, they'd have it under control.

They walked down to the dungeons, going all the way to the farthest cells where Rosalina and Harley were being held. They stopped in front of the cells, looking inside. Harley was sitting against the far wall of her cell while Rosalina was sitting in the corner of hers.

"Ah, to what do we owe the pleasure of a visit from the prince?" Rosalina sneered.

"I have some questions for you." Minho said, his expression not wavering.

Rosalina snickered. "I already know what you're going to ask. Yes, I do know the identity of your father."

Minho frowned. "Tell me."

"And what are we gonna get out of it if we tell you?" Harley chimed in.

Minho replied quickly, having thought about it on the way there. "Probation. You'll be allowed out of your cells, but you'll have to have someone with you at all times, and any bad behavior will land you right back in here."

Rosalina looks intrigued. "We'll be let out?"

Minho nodded. "You will not be allowed to leave the palace, but yes. You'll be allowed to leave your cells."

Harley and Rosalina shared a look. "Alright, fine. We'll tell you."

Minho waited patiently for Rosalina to tell him.

"Your father is Korell Caldwell."

Minho's eyes widened. "What? There's no way."

Rosalina shrugged. "It's true. He came to us a few years ago, telling us all about you and how he wants your power. Except, we figured out that it's not your power he wants."

"What does he want?" Minho questioned, narrowing his eyes.

Harley spoke, "He wants access to the Fields of Sigarden."

Minho couldn't believe it. He should have realized that the Fields are what his father wants.

Minho would die before he ever gave the Fields up.
