Saehyun rushed down the stairs behind him, beating her father down the stairs as she rushed towards their guest, “What are you even doing here?” She said to him.

“Stop it.” Her father said sternly, reaching the bottom of the steps and walking towards him, “Prince Luhan, to what do we owe the pleasure?” He greeted him with a smile.

“You never came back with an answer, so I was wondering what the outcome was.” Luhan answered him, “You said to give it a week and today is one day past week.” 

Saehyun looked to her Father and he gave a tight smile again, “You are right. But nothing has really changed. Your parents still want the marriage.” 

“I do not.” Saehyun said clearly, cutting into the conversation.

Saehyun held her hand up for her father to keep quiet as she analyzed Luhan’s words. “So it seems you are being told to marry royalty then?” She asked him.

Luhan sighed, “Yes, it is their preference.” He told her, his shoulders slumping in sadness.

“Well, why don’t we make a deal?” Saehyun offered, “Let’s null this engagement and we can do what we want.”

Luhan’s jaw dropped before turning to the King who also had a look of surprise on his face, “I don’t know if you can do that.” He told her.
