Da-hye had heard that the Crown Prince was here to see her. She ran out of Jeongjingak to see him. She had seen him yesterday, but she already missed him.

"Your Royal Highness!" Da-hye said as she ran down the stairs. "What are you doing here?"

"I thought I should see you before your brother's wedding." The Crown Prince said. "I am invited, right?"

"Why would you not be invited?" Da-hye asked. "But you do not have to come if you do not want to."

The Crown Prince put his hands around Da-hye's waist and hugged her tightly. "I had to come see you, I missed you too much." The Crown Prince said as he patted Da-hye's hair.

The Crown Prince noticed that Da-hye's hair was done, but she was still wearing her night clothes.

"I should leave now." The Crown Prince said. "I do not want to bother you or waste your time." The truth was the Crown Prince did not want to leave at all. He wanted to stay with Da-hye for the whole day.

Da-hye smiled and put her arms around his neck. "You could never bother me." Da-hye said. The Crown Prince smiled as Da-hye was finally reciprocating feelings. This was all he wanted. The Crown Prince hugged her tightly once again.

"I do not want to delay the process of you looking beautiful." The Crown Prince said. The realized what he said might be offensive. He did not mean that Da-hye was not beautiful every day. "Not that you do not always you look beautiful, but I know you will look more beautiful today." 

Da-hye smiled. "I understand."

"I should be going now." The Crown Prince hugged Da-hye again.

They both heard footsteps walking towards them. It was the leader. The leader's eyes went wide when he saw them hugging.

It was finally time for the wedding. Da-hye had never been as excited. She probably would not be as excited on her on wedding. But her brother getting married was the best news that Da-hye could ever receive. She was so happy for him. She could start jumping from excitement. The day had finally come. Even though, Da-hye and Dang-gu would not be as close anymore, Da-hye was still happy.

Lady Jin was here in Songrim as well. The wedding was to take place in Songrim. 

"Let bygones be bygones." Master Heo told the leader and Lady Jin. "You will now become in-laws."

That was right. Jin Cho-yeon would now be Da-hye's sister in-law. That was crazy to even think about.

"Cho-yeon is not marrying into the Park family." Lady Jin said. "Dang-gu is the one marrying into ours." Lady Jin explained. Da-hye scoffed. While the leader slowly turned to look at Lady Jin with an offended expression.

"He is not moving in with your family." The leader said. "Since you are saying such things, people are talking about how his surname will change to Jin." The leader explained.

Jin Dang-gu. Da-hye shook her head in disgust. That did not even sound right. "Jin Dan-gu, ew, that does not sound right!" Da-hye complained.

"Their daughter will be given our surname." Lady Jin said. 

"Their son will be given ours." The leader said.

That reminded Da-hye about what Master Heo used to tell her when she was little. He used to say that Da-hye was originally going to be Nam Da-hye because that was her mother's family name. But her mother decided to give her the surname "Park" instead because she did not want the twins to have different surnames.

Having the Jin family as in-laws would definitely be interesting. Dang-gu and Cho-yeon had not even been married yet and the leader and Lady Jin were already arguing.

"Do not argue on this wonderful day." Master Heo said. "The guests will arrive soon. You should get ready to greet them. Go on." Master Heo shooed them away.

Da-hye chuckled a little but it was so funny to see old people arguing. They were so immature! Not even Da-hye would be like that.

Dang-gu and Cho-yeon were not here yet, because they sneaked off to see Cho-yeon's father. Although he was Shaman Choi's brother and from the Choi family, he was still Cho-yeon's dad. Da-hye understood why they were going.

Some of the servants were still finishing up the decorations. Da-hye decided to help since it was her brother's wedding, it had to be perfect. Yul and Uk were talking near Jeongjingak. 

After being stuck in the barrier in Jeongjingak, it was weird being there without a barrier. Sometimes, Da-hye would get dreams about being stuck there with a soul shifter. They were not nightmares, but it creeped her out. Sometimes, she got a weird feeling while being Jeongjingak. But she knew she would get over it. Even when Da-hye was little, when she would do bad things like break something and hide it, she would get nightmares about it. Master Heo said it was because it was on her mind all the time and she needed to stop thinking about it.

"Young Lady Park!" A servant shouted. "The flowers."

Da-hye was getting to deep in thought that she had not noticed that a bouquet of flowers that was hanged on one of the pillars was going to fall. Da-hye moved quickly and managed to catch the flowers.

"Thank you for letting me know, Servant Lee." Da-hye said as she started to hang the flowers again. "I did not notice them falling."

"Yes, it is okay." Servant Lee said. "We appreciate you helping us." Servant Lee smiled. "But what were you so deep into thought about?"

"I was thinking about how perfect my brother's wedding has to be." Da-hye smiled. She obviously was not going to say what she was thinking about. It was kind of embarrassing.

Some time passed and it was almost time for Dang-gu's wedding. Da-hye could not shake off the feeling that something bad was going to happen. No, not today she hoped. But why today, out of all the days, why did it have to be Dang-gu's wedding.

And then she found out what it was. Jin Mu and his Cheonbugwan mages had arrived in Songrim.

"How dare you show your face here?" The leader asked Jin Mu. "Capture that criminal, Jin Mu!"

Mages ran forward to surround Jin Mu and his Cheonbugwan mages.

"I, Assinstant Gwanju Jin Mu, am here to catch a soul shifter." Jin Mu said. "Naksu, a soul shifter, is in Songrim as we speak." Jin Mu announced.

"Nasku?" The leader asked. Da-hye put her hand over her mouth. Had Mu-deok finally run wild? What did this mean? How was Uk going to react? Why did this have to happen today?

"My lord." A mage cried. It was Doctor Seo. "We have a problem. An assassin has appeared in Sejukwon."

Da-hye's heart dropped. No, not sejukwon. Dang-gu and Cho-yeon were over there. No, she could not lose her brother. In no way was Dang-gu strong or powerful enough to fight Naksu. Not this could not be happening!

"And that assassin murdered Lord Jin." Doctor Seo said.

That was all Da-hye needed to hear. She instructed one of the Jeongjingak mages to bring her sword quickly. If Mu-deok did anything to Dang-gu, Da-hye would make sure that she died a painful death.

"That every assassin is Naksu whom I have been looking for." Jin Mu said.

"That is not true." Doctor Seo said. Da-hye sighed with a little bit of relief. If it was not Naksu then maybe Dang-gu could protect himself easily. "It was...It was Mu-deok." Doctor Seo. No, no. This could not be! Da-hye's heart started beating so fast. Mu-deok was literally Naksu!

"Mu-deok is Naksu." Jin Mu said.

"Then what are you doing here?" Da-hye shouted. "Go over there and stop her!" Da-hye shouted so loud that she was out of breath.

Dang-gu and Cho-yeon could not take Naksu all by themselves. And then a thought came to Da-hye's mind, what if Dang-gu was dead? No, that could not be! If Dang-gu died, then Da-hye would die as well.

The mage who Da-hye had asked to bring her, her sword had finally brought it. Da-hye followed a few Cheonbugwan mages to Sejukwon. She needed to confirm that Dang-gu was okay.
