so now which would you prefer,
ji soon realizes finally that she does not love him and gives her up (allows for easier plot transition)
or
choi bu rides off with her on the day of the wedding? (problem is now that they've run off what will they do?)

(problem is now that they've run off what will they do?) that first option is just fine with me ;D and a drawing would be very nice.

A few days after his raucous celebration, ji soon asked to see chang bi in his father's sitting room.
when she entered the room, his face lit up with a smile. "chang bi! i thought we could talk about the ceremony." he motioned to the seat next to him and she sat as far away from him as she possibly could. trying to ignore her icy reception, he continued, "what gift would you like to present the people with on the day of the wedding?"
"a new ruler." she deadpanned.
ji soon sighed and and tried to sit nearer to her but she backed away from him. "chang bi, if we are going to be married, you must help me make things work."
"help you?" she spat. "i agreed to this wretched marriage only because you were too childish to realize there are more important things than yourself!"
"chang bi" he tried to cajole, "i did this because i love you."
she refused to look at him. "if you truly loved me then my happiness would be paramount, not your own." after a long uncofortable silence, she told him, "plan this miserable ceremony any way you wish. i want no part of it. it is a funeral for all i care and i pray every night that the gods strike me dead before i have to be your wife. if that is all may i have your leave to go?"
ji soon looked at her beautiful face, so full of anger. in all the time that had passed since she had agreed to be his wife, she had never once smiled, laughed or even said a kind word to him.
"i...i thought we might have a meal together" he said trying to keep her there longer.
"the very sight of your face disgusts me, highness" she said acidly. "i have no appetite to dine with you. may i have your leave to go?"
he put his head in his hands and sighed. "you would never look at me the way you look at him, would you?"
her face softened and he could tell that she was thinking about him. "no, highness, i never would. and as your empress, i would wither away and die."
disappointment flooded ji soon. "go" he said, not looking at her. she bowed and left.

ji young pulled im ho gwon aside and told him, "ji soon is having second thoughts about going through with the marriage! what do i do now?"
the commander looked at him thoughtfully and said, "he has already tarnished his image enough. i'm sure there are already many who question his ability to rule, so the damage has been done. but in that time, i have trained his army and the men are now loyal to me and since my loyalty belongs to you, they are really your soldiers."
a nasty smile spread across ji young's face. "i hadn't thought about that!" he laughed malevolently.
ho gwon continued, "may we sit a moment and speak in private, yi jang goon?" they both went into his sitting room and sat at the table. "if ji soon gives up this marriage and once again finds favor with your father, your claim to the throne is gone."
ji young scowled. "what can i do?" though your soldiers are highly skilled, they are still vastly outnumbered by the imperial army, loyal to choi bu and my father."
"there is an army just as great at your disposal highness" ho gwon informed.
"where?" ji young asked, his curiosity piqued.
his commander leaned back in the chair and smiled. "you know that i was born in this land, that i grew up in a foreign place. mongolia to be exact. that is where the martial art i practice originated."
"sounds like a fierce people, these mongols" ji young observed.
"indeed, highness" ho gwon agreed. "they are a most formidable people and having spend most of my life there, i have developed many ties with the prominent mongol lords. if you would grant them ties to this kingdom, for trade and such, i'm sure that they would be more than willing to provide troops that would rival even the imperial army of shilla."
"then i could lead this army against ji soon and destroy him!" ji young reasoned. "i like this plan of yours, ho gwon!"
i'm sure you do he thought to himself. and when you have killed your brother, i will remove you myself and rule in your stead when the land of shilla has been annexed to the mongol empire.

hehe. what to do though. running out of plot lines... well you just started something new. even if ji-soon gets better with choi bu. ji-soon followers will hate choi bu for taking the woman who should have stayed with the prince. then people get whipped maybe even me and his sons. like ji-soon followers would be running wild. playing music or talking loud infront of choi bu house. then uimin to show other followers they should respect the superior general, he whips the men who keep making choi bu life a living hell. also fights could break out in the central committiee, as choi bu and ji-soon followers wont agree on things and beat the hell out of each other. ;D
