MISUNDERSTANDING BETWEEN LUO AND HER FATHER
LUO POV:
Father! Father! I shouted.
Walking towards the throne angrily, I need an explanation of how me and my sisters were born.
So, father, you want to take what rightfully belongs to me to give to Xie because she is the one love.
You think I will not find out right that the throne belongs to me.
I was the one born immediately after the moon set, and you want to give the throne to Xie.
I will never let it happen.
I shouted angrily.
Calm down Luo, I am still your father, and you have no right to barge into my throne room to bark like a dog.
Is there something wrong with you? Who taught you that, and who said I only love your sister alone?
I love you and your sister equally.
It was your sister's destiny to be the queen. The moon chose her for a reason, and we are yet to understand the reason.
Mr. Lee replied calmly.
So father, what am I? She looked forward to an answer.
You are meant to assist Xie on the throne as your sister. Together you will both rule the kingdom. I have told you this before.
Mr. Lee answered her question.
You lie father, I will never be a slave to my sister. She is the one to assist me, not the other way around. I will never let that happen.
I said angrily.
You see there is more to the throne. Xie is not just the chosen one, she is meant to marry Prince Merman. Only then will she mount the throne.
Mr Lee replied with a face full of worries. Why father? Why Merman? Is Xie aware of this? I asked, surprised.
No, she is not aware.
I was only telling you because you want to know the history behind you and your sister's birth.
So, I will start to tell you the story from the day my wife, my queen, wanted to give birth to you guys.
FLASHBACK
On that fateful day, my wife, oh may her soul, rest in peace.
She was in labor. I took her to the hospital, but there was no chance, no space to give birth to you guys.
Everywhere, it was occupied by people. So, we are asked to go to another place.
So I decided to take her home. Along the way, she demanded to stay beside the riverside to receive fresh air.
So I took her there. She sat beside the river mouth, as it was drawing down and night was approaching, and the moon was gradually coming out.
I left her beside the river to get something in the car.
When I got in my car, I heard a voice. At first, I thought it was not something serious, so I waved it.
Then I heard the voice again. This time it was very loud, so I rushed to the riverside.
Immediately, I saw my wife deliver Xie and she fell into the water.
Immediately, the moon shone so bright that the river started shaking. After some minutes, Xie floated on top of the water with her eyes glowing gold.
So I took her out of the river and after that, you were delivered. Not too long after she delivered both of you, my wife died.
I took both of you and my dead wife home.
I thought Xie had died too, so I wanted to bury her alongside my wife before I noticed that she was alive.
Her eyes did not change for seven days.
It wasn't easy for me to raise both of you, but I did because I love you both so much.
Mr. Lee said while ending his story.
PRESENT DAY
So you mean to tell me that Xie was born with the help of the spirit water? I asked.
I think my wife sought their help. Alongside a promise.
What promise? She asks
I don't know, but what I know is that before she died, she said I should make sure the prophecy came to pass.
Oh really, Father, I don't believe that. Trying not to believe the truth.
All I know is that you and your sister are special. Mr Lee replied calmly.

XIE POV:
(Coming back from the cave, heading to see Father).
What is the father discussing with Luo? I hope all is well. I have to find out what the problem is.
I said to myself, trying to listen to their conversation.
I only heard about the throne. Was the throne made for Luo? Oh, I am so happy for her. I have no intention of becoming a queen. is best that Luo take over the throne because I am not interested in the throne.
I said to myself, opening the door that led to the throne.
Congratulations sister, I said happily.
What for? Luo asked, faking a smile.
You are the next queen, father. I told you that Luo is the rightful owner.
I don't have an interest in the throne, I just want to live a normal life, like other people.
Father is very much alive, so I am not the queen yet. Luo said, smiling.
Father, I have to take my leave now. Luo said before she left.
Father, is everything alright? I mean, why is your face like this? I asked, looking at my dad's face.
Did something happen when I was away?
Nothing happened, my darling. I just want you to always be in the palace. This is where you belong. My father said with a lot of worry.
But father. I wanted to say something, but my father cut me in.
No, but Xie time will tell your true existence. And I need to rest now.
I replied, heading to my chamber.
Okay father, I replied.
What is happening in the palace?
