“This is my daughter; please do consider her as a potential future queen.” A fat man wearing a glistening, black robe wrapped around his stubby figure introduced his young daughter. Sehun forced a smile to the man and offered another pretend smile to the girl who blushed instantly under his gaze.   All the girls he’s been introduced to were all gathered from wealthy and influential statuses. The girl before him attired in pink ruffles came from a Nothern Pack, specially known for their weaponry and nifty ways. Sehun had to admit that that was indeed useful for him but there was something sinister about the girl and her overly chubby father.   “Smile brightly!” Kai reminded him as he stood stoic at his side, observing everything in the palace intently.   Sehun growled under his breath but otherwise forced the corner of his lips upwards to form a half-smile. Kai patted his back encouragingly, “Not like that, you look ready to murder someone. Try and relax a little.” Kai advised.   Sehun closed his eyes and inhaled deeply.

She was fast asleep, only stirring a little in his arms before she fell into a deep slumber again. Kris curled her black hair behind her hair and held her closer to fend off the nasty cold.   Mina woke up immediately as soon as Chaeyoung touched her. Her eyes widened, showing eyes identical in colour as her mother. “Mummy?” She whispered, stretching her arms over her head.   Chaeyoung unbuckled her belt and lifted her into her arms. Her silver locks blew wildly against the wind and Chaeyoung smiled bitterly.   Her daughter’s hair reminded her so much of Sehun.    3 years. That’s how long she’d been separated from her beloved. She originally planned to visit Sehun 3 years ago after her second chance of life, but it didn’t happen. She feared that if she were to return to him, he’d hate her.   She had left him, more than once in different ways. Her death was just the cherry on top, adding to his already frail emotions. “Let’s go.” She murmured to her
