~ Next Day ~

Ren prepared to go to join the meeting. He went to Riam's room to take Riam and Youra with.

Youra hasn't done preparing yet. She was sitting on bed, putting Riam on her laps. She didn't look at Ren at all.

"Didn't I tell you all to go to prepare for Youra and Riam?" Ren said to the servants.

"Yes, your highness! But young lady refused to." servants replied with fear.

Ren walked close to Youra.

"Youra, let's get ready! It's almost time now. Don't be like this!" -Ren-

Youra was sobbing and kept holding little Riam tight.

"Riam, come to Papa! Papa will dress up for Riam." Ren took little Riam from Youra.

"You all, prepare for my bride. I'm gonna wait outside." Ren said then left, trying to ignore Youra’s disapproval.

Youra didn't want to go to that meeting but she couldn't refuse. She dressed up and left the room.

Ren was carrying little Riam, waiting Youra outside.

He was lost to see how beautiful she is. He soon gave her a soft smile but Youra couldn't calm herself not to cry. Ren went to her and wiped her tears.

"My bride is so beautiful. Don't cry! It'll ruin your make up." Ren said then kissed on her forehead softly.

"Awwww....." little Riam quickly used his palm to cover his eyes, got his parents curious.

"What's up, Riam?" Ren curiously asked.

"Uncle JRie said that when Papa and Mommy kiss, Riam has to close eyes." little Riam innocently replied.

Ren and Youra looked at each other and blushed.

[ At Meeting Hall ]

The meeting that Minhyun requested almost started. Many high ranked officers and Ren's relatives (Wizard King and Aron's family) have come. Minhyun was already there, standing silently.

A moment later, Ren arrived. Ren transferred little Riam to Youra and told them to stand at a side. Then he walked to a chair next to Wizard King.

"Long lives my prince!" said the people in the hall.

Before they started the meeting, little Riam suddenly noticed Minhyun was there, he was excited so he quickly dropped from Youra and ran to Minhyun.

"Uncle!" he pulled Minhyun's cloth from behind to make Minhyun turned back to look at him. Minhyun quickly turned around to look at the one who was calling him.

"Little Prince!" Minhyun exclaimed.

"Uncle, thanks for helping me on the other day!" Riam said and bowed with his friendliness. Minhyun was amazed by the little kid's cuteness.

Ren and Youra quickly went to them. Ren grabbed his son.

"Riam, don't run and play around here! Papa is doing work. Stay with your mother and keep silent, understand?" -Ren-

"Papa, Riam just came to say thank to this uncle. He helped Riam on the other day." -Riam-

Ren smiled and softly patted his head.

"Good! If you finished thanking him already, please go with your mother. Youra, take Riam!" Ren ordered then Youra carried him to their place back. Ren went back to his seat.

"Sorry for the inconvenience! I think it's time now so let's start our meeting. I called out you all here because of Commander Minhyun. You all may have heard about the choice I've given to him and today he will announce his decision right here in front of us. I don't know what he will choose. He asked for this meeting so I made it for him. If he chooses to take my life then I'll give him right away." Ren bravely said to the crowd, got everyone emotional.

Everyone turned to each other and started gossiping with worries about their prince.

Youra lost her balance and almost fell down but she was caught by Minhwa on time. Minhwa tried to console her.

Minhyun remained silent, listening to Ren's speech.

"I think it's all from me. Commander Minhyun, you may announce your choice." Ren turned to Minhyun who kept facing down, looking at the floor.

Everyone was all ear holed, waiting for Minhyun to speak up. Your
