Flashback on: CURSE OF MATCHMAKING

If usually the word marriage will be something happy, then another case with the word matchmaking. That one word is transparent. No one can guess what it will be.

Happy or languishing?

However, it would be different if both sides accepted it sincerely. Although not yet certain, at least vaguely the couple can still imagine what their relationship will be like in the future.

Unfortunately, if only the side who sincerely accept. It will be very heavy to do, as if everything is stacked on the shoulders and becomes a burden that is difficult to complete. Except, surrender.

That's the shortcut.

Because, the problem of the heart is not a problem that is easily overcome by logic.

This is what happened to the marriage that originated from an arranged marriage between Crown Prince Li Hanzue and Grand General Princess Ahn Reichu.

Among the two, only Ahn Reychu had his heart set on Crown Prince Li Hanzue. Unfortunately, not the other way around.

The day that a contest party to choose the Empress was held, from which Ahn Reychu nurtured the seeds of his love. However, he did not immediately think that it should have Li Hanzue who was still a Crown Prince at that time. After all, it all came back to the Royal Family's decision.

But, what he did not expect was... He's chosen.

However, it cannot guarantee that he will get the same great love that he had after the wedding.

Just when the wedding ceremony was over and she was already inside the bridal room. He waited for the Crown Prince to come and remove his face covering according to tradition. But, long he waited for the husband did not come until a few hours later...

Taps...

Taps...

Taps...

Ahn Reychu's heart was pounding. He was nervous, especially considering this was the first time he was in a room with a man. His hands sweat. Without being asked his mind has been made to imagine for some reason. Repeatedly he tried to stabilize himself so as not to get nervous excessively.

Unfortunately, all was interrupted once what entered his ears echoed.

Ahn Reichu is frozen. It felt like his heart stopped beating.

"I'll go straight to her core! I don't like you! Not one bit! So don't expect too much from me!" he said honestly while looking at the girl who was still using her face cover, he did not even intend to open it.

With his hands behind his body clinging to each other, giving a gesture of authority and height he again spoke coldly and indifferently. "But even so I can't blame you for what happened. After all, you're here also on the Emperor's father's word. Only, all you need to do as my Empress is to assist me in running this kingdom after I ascend the throne. For others, especially about feelings. I need to emphasize! L'm... No. gabe... Loving you... And... No. gabe... Would... Never...!" press it at the end of the sentence seriously.

"I'm sure you're quite understanding, aren't you? Because, I hear... You're so smart!" after saying that, Crown Prince Li Hanzue turned around and immediately left Ahn Reychu alone there with a shoulder whose slowly tremors were no longer bearable.

He was shaken before he even did anything.

Slowly, she wanted to look at the door that her husband passed a moment ago to leave himself in the bridal room.

His trembling hands were raised to open the cover of his own face. She felt hurt and sad over her husband's treatment of her. This is the first time they have met. For a moment he thought, can't he mince words even for a moment? Even so, he chose to close his eyes for a moment and take a deep breath to exhale later.

Then the eyes reopened. This time there was a spark in it. "Not what... He just can't love me yet... I'm sure I keep trying and praying... One day, he will love me so much that he does not want to be separated... Sure is!" he said in a low and slashing voice, like floating between sure and doubtful.

His tears even dripped out uncontrollably.

She's sad...

Before the wedding took place. Precisely, after the party I chose the Empress Emperor Li, the Emperor's Father, and the Empress Mother gathered at the Emperor's father's residence with tea and some snacks as a complement. However, what does not fit the background is the atmosphere that surrounds the three.

Tense and depressed mood.

At that time Father was staring at his son sharply, inexhaustible with the attitude of his son who seemed to underestimate what happened.

"Don't try to argue, Hanzue! It's orders!" firmly Sang Ayahanda.

Without looking at his Father, the Crown Prince answered flatly and boldly, but not sharply. He remembered who he was talking to.

"This man does not argue. Just saying that I can marry her but can't accept it the way you want. I don't love her!"

"Omong empty! It's just your way of evading the truth!" pause Ayahanda. "You think when your mom and I first got married we were in love with each other?" he asked while shaking his head later. "No... We don't have that feeling one bit... But.." turned to his wife with a loving gaze, do not forget his hand moved to hold the hand of the wife who immediately blushed embarrassed made. They are no longer young.

"We accept all the decisions of the ancestors with chesty and sincere. To the point where I could no longer turn from him." the words were uttered while looking into the eyes of the wife who also returned the gaze.

The Crown Prince who saw it was of course envious. He also wanted to be able to accept Ahn Reychu as his Empress as well as his wife. However, for some reason when remembering the reason they were together was because of the curse of his ancestors. Makes him unable to accept it.

It was as if his heart wanted to prove that he was not involved with such a thing. He can be happy and have offspring even if not with a woman who has been determined.

Both of his parents could not help but get angry.

"You really! You think this is a joke and just a trick?! It's fact! That's truth! This was also the risk of being born as the Huoli Royal Family. Stop being so stubborn, Li Hanzue!" angry with the Emperor's father until his face reddened.

"Please, Your Majesty!" persuaded the Queen Mother to try to temper her husband's anger.

However, with his turn Li Hanzue got up from his seat and said. "It's night. This son no longer intended to disturb the rest of the Emperor's Father and Empress Mother. Excuse me and good night!" he said after that he turned around and left.

The Emperor's father could only snort furiously at it.

He knows how his son feels. Lying if he doesn't understand. Only, this was what had to be borne for anyone who was already destined to become the next Emperor.

His son doesn't know. He was told the truth. Which one regarding the son who will be the next successor to the throne and since then the curse has existed.

Actually, the curse in question is the curse of matchmaking.

Once upon a time, it didn't exist. Only to the extent that several generations earlier had the Empress suffered a deep heartache.

The Empress was originally loved by the Emperor as well as his subjects. He was truly the perfect companion. Not only good but smart. Whenever, the Emperor is preoccupied with the foreign affairs of the kingdom, then the one within the kingdom will be taken over by the Empress. Even the Harem Emperor was well-ordered with all his rules.

As Empress, she understood the difficulty of sharing a husband. But, how else. With a big heart he set up a rule so that all Emperor Consorts in the Harem were treated fairly. Therefore, even the concubines did not hate him. Sometimes, even when there are official or unofficial events all residents of the Emperor's Harem will take the time to revel together.

It was really harmonious.

Anyone knows that.

But unfortunately, it doesn't last much longer than that. Kala, the neighboring kingdom offered a woman to be made the next concubine.

No one imagined that the woman would bring disaster to the Huoli Kingdom.

Right after she officially became a concubine. Like Grand Concubine Gong Dahye, the woman did too.

He did everything he could to occupy the position of Empress. The other concubine did not escape her attack until gradually the situation in the palace began to be chaotic. The emperor, who was blind and forgot himself because of the concubine, successfully disappointed the palace occupants, but they could not do anything. As a result, the Empress could only try to keep all of that from leaking out with the help of everyone who sided with her.

Therefore, no one knows the true story of the curse.

Not only that, even the Concubine dared to act arrogantly just because she had a descendant that was spoiled by the Emperor. I don't know what the woman did that the Emperor could ignore his other sons and daughters and instead just indulge the sons and daughters of the Concubine who managed to snatch the Emperor from the Harem dwellers.

Despite the heartache, the Empress could still accept it. He was still as strong as steel to hold on. How could he just give up just like that just because the woman was more successful. He did not want to dispel the hopes of the palace residents.

But na'as, a tragedy befell the inner palace. To be precise, the descendants of the Concubine killed the sons and daughters born to the Empress. Especially when it all goes into his vision.

His pain back then was more than his pain and disappointment towards the Emperor. Especially when she asked for justice to her husband, her husband turned things around just because he was not willing if his favorite child had to suffer.

Right after the tragedy happened. With an unstoppable heartache again how much pain it is. The Queen thought nothing more. His spirit of life has been taken away. What does he still have?

The emperor? He no longer expected this man.

Even not only he who suffered, some descendants of other concubines also affected by the crime of Consort bi*dab and his son.

Not a few who demand justice to him as a reliable person.

Therefore, the Empress chose the high-risk path.

Namely, kill!

No longer care about his fate after that. He also acted, in which the Empress herself killed the concubine for the sake of the kingdom, but was misinterpreted by the Emperor until the Emperor killed her.

In the final seconds of her breath, the Empress said with great difficulty.

"Akhu lives for you... Haaah... Akhu lives for this country... Haaah... Akhu lives for everything... Haaah... But, you have failed me, Your Majesty... Haaah... Akhu swore... Haaah... Chelak... Uk... Uhuk... Haaah... No one can give the next Khaisar offspring other than the chosen Empress... Haaah... Camn it! Haah..."

After that, the Empress met her death and ended the life story right then and there.

Nobody doesn't cry about his departure. Everyone mourns for him. Even the Emperor felt that regret. But, of course it's too late.

From that moment on, the curse happened...

To this day...

see you's...
