Naaila’s hands trembled as she tried to decipher the words. Jimin’s eyes were wide and his mouth was open out of shock. Hoseok woke up from his seat followed by taehyung and yoongi.
“Dwade..” hoseok’s voice came out in a tiny whisper but it was clearly audible to all the four corners due to the extreme silence. Everyone in the hall gasped in unison. Murmurs of the noble ladies and men were heard across the room. Naaila read the words on the paper again and again hoping that they would change but to her horror nothing happened.
Convey my regards to prince jeon. Prince jeon. Prince jeon. Wait. jungkook.
Her eyes widen in realisation and she shoves the piece of note into Jimin's chest. She pushes the men surrounding her and runs towards the doors of the hall.
"Wait, princess naaila! Where are you heading to?” she could hear voices trying to stop her and ask her moves but she could care less. The sound of her shoes thumping, echoed through the hallways and she heard another pair follow hers.
“Naaila! Don't run, your wound might open.” she hears the deep voice call behind her which she recognizes as taehyung’s. His large steps catch up with hers and he pulls her back by her forearm.
“Taehyung, what are you doing?” she winces in pain and he notices a spot of blood appearing on her grey robe.
“Let go, I have to see prince jeon!” she cries and he removes his grip on her as soon as he sees her frightened eyes.
“Y-you are bleeding, your cuts opened again.” he states.
“We can treat them later.” she says and turns back again to be stopped again by him.
“What the hell ta--” she stops as he tightens the grip on her hand and she looks up to see the furious expression in his eyes with his jaw clenched. She gulps down out of nervousness seeing his menacing state.
“Don't run. And let me come with you.” he said through gritted teeth and she nods frantically. He lets the grip on her hand go loose and walks along with her. Naaila couldn't stop biting her lips and picking her cuticles.
She hastily enters the room where she finds a panting jungkook standing at the balcony with the support of the large pillar.
“Prince jeon!” naaila’s voice partly startles the prince and he turns his head back to see them walking towards her. His body eventually collapses to the floor and the sword in his hand falls down with a sharp clank. Taehyung sprints towards the prince and holds his body to protect from the hard cold ground. Naaila approaches the men and they slowly walk him to the bed.
He tiredly falls back onto the headboard and naaila brings a glass of water to his mouth. He gulps down the cool liquid to satisfy his thirst while taehyung observes the room.
The fruit bowl on the tea table was laying on the ground with fruits sprawled all over the carpeted floor in different directions. cushions of the bed were misplaced and messily thrown. the servants and guards were lying unconscious on the floor. He slowly walked towards the balcony where he found a rope hanging from the railing to the ground. Someone entered the room and jungkook was defending himself. Taehyung concluded.
“Who came here?” his deep voice gained the attention of the two individuals on the other side of the room. It was then, Naaila took in her surroundings and let out a soft gasp, her fingers softly covering her mouth.
“Oh god. What on earth happened here?” she drinks in the state of the messed up room. Sounds of footsteps of numerous people approach the room and the door opens to reveal other members and a few other people of the palace. Everyone stood there shocked.
“ Dwade was here.” jungkook says in a hoarse voice.
“He killed all the servants and guards.” naaila’s gaze to the bodies of the poor and innocent people lying dead.
“Did he try to harm you?” Taehyung asked and Jungkook nodded his head.
"He is unpredictable." Naaila softly speaks and Jung kook faintly nods.
Hoseok walks into the room slowly glancing around trying to find something when his eye catches the pile of dead bodies lying in the corner. He makes his way towards them and finds a paper pinned into a body with a blade. He removes it out carefully and holds it up.
"He left something for us, once again." He sighs and reads it.
Pretty quick. Once again it's my darling. Isn't it? Don't worry, I won't harm you. I am going to take a break for a long while. I will come back only when the sun rises and shines again. Because dimming the dark sky is no fun.
His brows furrowed as his eyes scanned the words.
"What does he mean when the sun rises Again?" He voices out his thoughts.
Jimin and naaila grab the letter and read it quickly to give out similar reactions.
"He is trying to play games." Jimin speaks and Naaila nods her head.
"For now, we have to make sure we have good security in all of our kingdoms. So that he doesn't barge in and leave letters again." Taehyung speaks in the silent room.
Welp, that was a quickie!!
Sorry for the short chap. I will write a big one next time.
I love myself. *Mumbling to myself quietly*
Love,
Moon.
