A/N: Thank you arinanajwa, Davies467, Farhina Fareen, silkyjacob, and towersita.
Hey Davies467, Hae Soo thinks she is only one who traveled back in time, so she doesn't know about Wang So time travel and vice versa. They both have changed their time-line so much the difference is not noted.
Happy reading

Chapter 13: It's always you
Lady Myung Hee
She was the first to fall in love with him, and she will be the first to leave him. His happiness is her happiness. He respected her but never loved her, so it would be easy for him to move on. She failed to capture his heart and was unable to give him an heir. She was getting healthier, but she doesn't know for long she will remain healthy. She wanted to be selfish, she wanted to die as his wife, but King's new marriage decree makes it impossible. She will tell him today about the divorce. They will proceed to divorce after Hae Soo's marriage. Hae clan members are happy with her decision. One of their leader's daughter will marry her prince to strengthen her clan's support.
Before Hae Clan members make a proposal to him and his clan, she wants to tell him.
She reached his private library, combined with his chamber. She was surprised to Princess Yeon Hwa also present, and it looks like they were in a profound argument. She slowly knocked on the door.
"Come in," he called from another side of the door. His bloody red face was changed into a natural look when he saw her at the door.
"Lady Hae, what are you doing here? Are you feeling alright?" Prince Wook asked her gently.
"I am fine, your highness. I wanted to talk to you. If you are busy, I will come by later".
"No, it is fine. Princess was leaving anyways", he dismissed his sister, who was clearly upset.
He escorted her to his desk. He poured her a fresh cup of tea.
"I want your highness to divorce me," she stated. Her timing was terrible. She told him when he was sipping his tea. He started coughing on his drink.
She continued, "I was the one who wanted to marry you when your family was thrown out of the palace. I wanted to help you because I love you. I still love you enough to let you go. Please consider my decisions".
"what about my decisions and my feelings?" he asked her. She could feel pain behind his words.
"I married you to save my family and my clan. I understand it wasn't my decision at that time, but I don't regret it. I know I cannot expect love in a political marriage. I don't want to be disappointed, that's why I never told you or anyone about my feelings.
"Your highness," she was confused. Does he have feelings for me is that what he is telling me now?
To answer her unasked question. "Yes, Myung Hee. I like you, and I love you. I didn't know you were feeling the same. I thought you liked my little brother Baek Ah. I will be lying if I say I wasn't jealous of your close relationship with him".
"But your highness, king's new decree, what of it?"
"I will oppose it, don't worry."
"I don't think it is going to be possible," she was aware of Hae Soo's wedding plans, which is currently pushed forward by the King.
"I will make it possible'.
"What happens when you fail?'
"When I fail, It is still up to the prince wishes whether to divorce his wife or not. I am not going to divorce you".
"you need an heir. I don't whether I can give it to you."
"I don't want an heir. I want you. If I have any children, it will be ours."
She got up from the table because she cannot make him understand. His current judgment is clouded by his emotions.
"Your highness, I think you need some time to think about your decisions. We can talk about it later." She was about to leave. Suddenly she was pulled back to him. He was holding to her tightly.
"I don't know what to do with your stubbornness. Yes, we will talk about it later, but my decision will be the same. I kept you far away because of my emotions. I will not make the same mistake twice." She looked at him. He bent down to kiss her.
Myung Hee shouldn't be feeling happy, but she cannot help it. How many days and nights she dreamed about this moment. She got what she wanted, yet she cannot help to feel scared about her future..no their future.
Wang Wook
A few Hours back, his sister asked him to divorce his wife marry someone else from the same or another clan. He was ignoring her. He forgot the fact that his sister doesn't like being ignored started screaming like a banshee. She stopped at his wife's sudden presence in his office. He wasn't expecting her to come forward with the divorce proposal. He expected her clan members, his mother, even his father, but not his wife. He would have agreed to divorce her if that's what she wanted. When she started confessing her feeling for him, he cannot let her go now. They wasted many years being cowards who cannot express their feeling. He turned to look at his wife, sleeping peacefully in his arms. He will never let her go even if he has to fight everyone. She belongs to him. He truly loved her. He simply cannot accept anyone as his wife or his love. He was willing to give up his royal status for her.
