The New Beggining

Hwon's royal wedding finally started, the event was very lively. Siera looks very stunning in her luxurious wedding dress, while Gwi looks very dignified wearing a full robe that shows his charisma as a leader.

Siera walked gracefully to the podium where Gwi accompanied by Woon was waiting for her. There was a happy smile on their lips. Their long and tragic love journey was finally rewarded happily on that sunny day. Gwi and Siera tied their sacred vows and received the blessing of every guest who came, Eros was one of the guests who attended the wedding.

The bride welcome the arrival of the king of the Dam kingdom, he was one of the guests of honor invited to Hwon's royal wedding. Siera smiled sincerely and thanked her ex-lover through her lips, while holding Gwi's arm who was standing beside her.

Eros smiled and nodded, his memory flashing back to the time a few days ago when he received a personal letter from Siera in his kingdom.

"Eros.... It may be too late for me to discuss this matter with you now, but I'm sorry... I don't think I can continue this marriage with you. Before all of this I really wanted to marry you, but it wasn't what my heart really wanted.

From the bottom of my heart. I know you have the sincerity to want to fight together by my side, and I also know you have done a lot for me. I am truly grateful for all the good things you have done for me... But now I realize, you are not the one who stay inside my heart....

Eros, lately something has been bothering me a lot and made me feel very uncomfortable. My chest feels tight as if I have run out of breath, the spirit of my life seems to have evaporated too. I finally realized all the feelings that suffocating feeling in my chest is due to the departure of someone who is very precious in my life, Gwi.

So far I have been too blind to understand my heart which always wanted him. Yes because of my ambition for power. I was too blind to ruthlessly abandon the sincerity and sacrifice he always made for me. I was too blind to realize how much he meant in my heart.

Eros... I'm sorry, but I love him... After he chose to leave me I just discovered that. All of this time I refused to admit it because I thought that no matter what happened, whatever path I chose, that man would always be by my side. By putting my selfishness forward I took his love for granted without mercy and being so cruel.

Now I understand that the feeling of loss can be very overwhelming... and I realize that nothing hurts me more than pretending to turn my face away from someone I dear a lot and constantly ignore his sincerity. I can no longer live with his absence from my daily life, therefore I decided to be honest and be someone who tries to pursue his love from now on.

I'm sorry, but I chose to marry him, Gwi... A man who is always loyal to stay by my side. Sincerely, Siera..." Eros smiled wryly after reading the entire contents of Siera's letter, he took a deep breath and folded the sheet of paper back. His gaze was far away remembering every memory he had with that woman.

"Siera... you are a very intelligent and stunning woman, but in some ways you really are very slow and dense. Why did you only realize all of this now?" said Eros with a tender smile while remembering the Hwon royal princess.

Actually, Eros had known from the start about Siera's true feelings, about who was the center of her attention and who always lived in the royal palace of her heart. From the start, that man was just Gwi and he alone. Eros began to remember every series of events that occurred between them.

Since the beginning of their first meeting, in every time they were together, Siera would always subconsciously search for the werewolf even though Eros was in front of her. The woman always took her time to observe the change in expression on Gwi's face and she would show sadness in her eyes whenever she saw Gwi in pain.

Eros already knew all of that. But he just kept on trying his luck to win her heart even though in the end he had to accept his defeat.

Eros' thoughts returned from the past when he saw king Woon has stood on the palace pulpit in front of his people and invited guests from the kingdoms of Dam and Sung. The king announced and handed over his throne to Gwi as Siera's husband and the new king of the Kingdom. He was assisted by his two best bodyguards, Ryu and Key.

Woon also inaugurated Siera as the queen and the supreme leader of the kingdom who would continue the future of their kingdom. The king gave the high authority to the husband and wife as the highest leader in the Hwon kingdom. After delivering the announcement, Woon also said that he would leave his palace and spend the rest of his life while traveling around. Of course this decision made his people very surprised, but there was no reaction of rejection from the people of the Hwon kingdom for the final decision and decree he gave as a king. After delivering his unexpected announcement, Woon descends from the pulpit and mingles with his guests from the other two kingdoms on his planet.

The royal wedding ceremony took place smoothly and lively without any significant problems. Key is seen walking alone on the royal balcony and wearing her best beautiful dress. She shows her feminine side and looks stunningly beautiful.

"Lady Key...." a male voice was heard calling her out from behind.

Key turned and saw a tall, well-built man who looked very handsome. Key had seen the man for several times but never talked with him.

"how lucky the dress is to be the clothes you choose to wear today, you make the dress look so charming" said the man praising Key's dazzling beauty. The man walked closer while Key just thanked him with an awkward smile.

"What is a woman as beautiful as you doing alone on this lonely balcony?" he asked then.

"Ah... I'm just looking for some fresh air, I'm not used to mingling with party crowds like this" Key put her hand on the balcony railing while enjoying the view from the royal hill. The man was silent and seemed to observe Key's movements.

"Do you have a lover?" he asked then. Key was silent, being unsure of how to answer the question. She had indeed had a crush on Ryu for a long time and she thought that the man had the same feelings as her. But until that time, her favorite junior had never discussed the continuation of their relationship. The woman's residence brought a smile to the face of the man who is standing beside her. He ventured to take Key's hand and squeezed it gently.

"If you don't have a lover, how about I offer you to a marriage and marry you?" asked the man trying to show his charm and smiled warmly.

Getting a sudden physical contact made Key feel awkward and embarrassed, her cheeks flushed red because the stranger suddenly grabbed her hand. She began to feel that her body temperatur was rising. Key was about to answer the question before suddenly another hand grabbed her hand from behind and released the stranger's grip from her.

"Ah sorry to interrupting, but I don't think Key is take interested with the offer... She is already engaged" Ryu said with a cheerful tone and full of smiles.

Ryu then pulled Key with him and left the stranger alone on the balcony. The commander took Key to walking together for a long time until they were far from the crowd and were alone in a park.

"Wow, senior, lately your popularity has really increased, doesn't it. It seems that all men want to marry you. Your charm is really extraordinary," Ryu give his comment with a big smile still plastered on his face. Key looked at Ryu silently then pulled her hand away from the man slowly.

"Not all men want to marry me," Key said coldly. She turned her body and was about to walk away.

"Why do you let all those men tease you? Why are you blushing because he took your hand and asked you to marry him?" Ryu asked her to expressing his doubts and jealousy to the woman. Key took a deep breath and turned her body back to look at Ryu directly.

"What do you care about that Ryu? All of that has nothing to do with you" said Key annoyed.

"Of course I care, everything related to you is the thing I always care about!" Ryu grumbled like a little boy who didn't get what he wanted from his mother.

"Why?" Key asked probing. Ryu seemed to be pursed his lips and annoyed.

"I also want to marry you..." he said then in a low voice.

Ryu's statement instantly made Key feel embarrassed and her Heart started to skipped a beat. She could only stare at Ryu silently without saying anything.

"Ahh!! I'm so frustrated. I've tried to act as a mature man and look cool in front of you because there are so many handsome men who approach you. But it seems that I can never compete with them!" Ryu immediately crouched in his place while grumbling. His very childish attitude made Key laugh happily. Key walked over to Ryu and crouched down in front of him.

"You've never asked my opinion about all of that Ryu, if you were the one who asked me to marry you, I wouldn't think for the umpteenth time again..." Key said softly. Ryu lifted his face and looked at Key with his round eyes, there was a gleam of happiness that immediately appeared on the man's expression.

"You really want to marry me?!" Ryu asked happily. Key nodded slowly with a smile. The man then immediately grabbed Key's face with both of his hands and pulled the girl closer. Ryu landed a kiss on Key's lips and made the woman look surprised. But slowly the female commander began to return Ryu's kiss with a great tenderness.

Hwon's royal wedding party between the new king and queen of the country has ended. The palace seemed quieter than the bustle of the day. Siera was sitting on her bridal bed wearing a white silk evening gown that made her look like a very pretty fairy. She was looking at Gwi with a beautiful smile on her lips and waiting for the man to come closer toward her.

Gwi walked slowly towards his queen and sat on the bed facing his beautiful bride. He grabbed Siera's face with his right hand and gently stroked her with affection. The queen seemed to enjoy the touch and gently pushed her cheek so she could feel Gwi's warm body temperature that radiated from his palm even closer. Siera then held Gwi's hand that was on her cheek with her left hand.

The two then hugged each other in silence to enjoy every precious second they spent together. Gwi held both of Siera's arms and looked straight into her eyes. His eyes then turned to the buttons on Siera's gown on the top front of her body. Gwi slowly unbuttoned the shirt and opened the outer layer of the queen's dress. The skin on Siera's arms and lower neck was exposed and revealed a light and soft skin tone.

There are several circular scars on Siera's neck that still haven't disappeared completely, Gwi then turned his gaze to Siera's arm and found the scratch marks that were starting to fade. Both are that markas had left by Gwi when he injured Siera.

Instantly Gwi's eyes turned to be sad, he recalled the scary incident that had happened between them and torment him. The image of Siera dying and filled with blood again haunting his mind again. Gwi feels hurt, heartbroken and guilty for what he did to her decades ago. Tears just fell and rolled down his cheeks.

" Shhh..... Hey...." the queen tried to calm her husband and cupped her hands on Gwi's cheeks. The man looked at Siera with eyes filled with tears and agony.

"I'm fine.... I'm fine.... Don't worry" Siera slowly pulled Gwi into her embrace and stroked the man's back affectionately. She kept repeating her words to comfort the man she loved and relieve all of his guilt. The two of them continued to hug all night long to convey all sorts of their mixed feelings that they had kept in silence for a long time.
