The Royal Concubine

Part 20

"Welcome father, how are you?", Yena made them sit on the comfortable cushion in her chamber. "Yena, when will you even get pregnant. Better get pregnant soon and give a boy", he said, he just came to the point.

"Father" "What? He is playing around women and you are just eating and sleeping. At least do one thing right!", he said. "Every man here plays with women, not only him", she replied.

"At least, they are capable of giving a child", he said. Yena couldn't take any more disrespect. She stood up. "You can't disrespect the King, just like that", she said.

"Then, do one thing, join hands with me and let's bring him down. He is not even considering you as a wife right", he said. "No! Never in my life. I will never betray him", she fumed in anger.

"Listen to me", He too fumed back. "No" "How dare you?", He raised his hands against her and slapped her. She stumbled and fell. She accidentally hit her head on the chair and it cut.

He didn't seem to care much. The guards barged in as soon as they heard the cries from her. They tried to handcuff him. "Leave me. She was the one who fell on her own. You can't just arrest me", he struggled in their grip.

Yena was not in a condition to respond. She was slowly losing consciousness. "Sorry sir, you were the only one who was with the Queen, so you will be released only under the King's order.

The news already reached the King, Jiya was asked to take care of her treatment. "Y/n, take the medical supplies and come with me, we need to give the first aid while waiting for the royal physician", she said.

Everyone in the palace moved around as if the whole palace was on fire. Jina, the Queen's friend assisted during first aid. You were the assistant of the head concubine.

She cleaned her wound and put on some herbs and tied a cloth around her head. "What the hell happened here?", Taehyung stormed in. Everything went silent. Nobody dared to speak. You were also scared of him at this moment.

"Your Highness, the Queen's father met her in private, after some time we heard the Queen screaming in pain and went in", a guard explained. "He is claiming that she fell on her own and got hurt accidentally", a maid said.

He closed his eyes in frustration. "From his actions, we suspect that he could have hurt her because he keeps telling a different story", Namjoon entered and said.

"Tell him that no one can hurt my Queen, even if he is her father, she is my wife", he said in a rage. 'My Queen' that word pierced your heart. Even though you cannot complain about the situation you are in.

You decided to respect his choice, while you willingly started to love him. "What should I do now, Taehyung ah? He is under the guard's custody", Namjoon said. "Keep him under house arrest, we will decide once she wakes up", Taehyung said.

Namjoon left the room. "Everyone, leave the room", he said. "Your Highness, still she needs to be taken care of till she wakes up", the royal physician said.

"I will take care of her", he said. Every one of you left the room. He didn't even notice you. It was not intentional. But somewhere deep in his heart, he cared for Yena. This outburst proved that.

You were hanging your head down and walking with Jiya. "Y/n ah! Sometimes, men would make you feel like you were the only one, but they have the capability to make every woman like that! So you need to wake up", she said.

You looked at her in shock. "I know what is going in your mind now, at least you got something that no one had. Concentrate on your new life and try to make the lives better for young girls like you", she said, caressing your head.

Tears threatened to fall. "You are young, he will like you, give all the material possessions to you but always remember blood is thicker than water", she said.

She gave a big life lesson. Meanwhile, Taehyung softly caressed Yena's hair. "She doesn't deserve any of this'', he said to himself.

She slowly opened her eyes. It took time for her to adjust. When she saw Taehyung, her heart also jumped outside the rib cage. She attempted to get up. But he made her lie back.

"Are you feeling okay?", he asked, holding her palm. She teared up. "Should I call the physician, are you hurt?", he panicked. "No", she shook her head. "I remembered something", she whispered.

"When my father beat me for not properly watching over my brother, I was lying like this and then you came and took care of me like this", she said, half smiling. Taehyung slightly bit his lips.

"Do you remember?", she asked. He nodded. Yena was always abused by her father, the only reason was she was a girl. Her mother passed away too early. Her father immediately married another woman to get a boy child.

Even though she was a Princess thing didn't go well. Usually, when the kids of royals come from different places to the capital Taehyung would always search for her. She too found happiness in him.

"I cried a lot, but your presence made me happy and after you went I cried more because I was worried who would take care of me in the future like this", a tear slipped. "Yena ya", he called out.

He is addressing like that after ages. "When our marriage was fixed, I thanked all of God, but I didn't know that you would hate me", she sniffed. Her body was still weak.

He hugged her. She hugged him with all her strength because she was afraid that he may vanish if she loses her grip.  "I don't hate you! I never hated you", he said.
