"Huh?" Hyun-woo said, his mouth agape after telling him the news. "You're marrying that scribe tomorrow? I know we need heirs, but isn't that too fast?"
I sighed, knowing he would react like this.
"He's not just a scribe. He's a Record Keeper. He knows a lot of things that can help us. And he's a good man. He cares about me. Isn't that what matters?"
He folded his arms and paced in the room. "I guess. But a day isn't enough time to prepare a wedding."
"It's not going to be a big wedding. Just a small ceremony. Mother will be the one to officiate it anyway."
He frowned. "Fine. But you have to promise me you'll be careful. The Time Keepers are cautious about their own. They might not approve of your union."
"I know. Rashid told me the same. But we'll keep it a secret from them for as long as we can."
"And if they take your children away from you?"
"They won't. I won't allow it."
