Unforeseen

4: Healing

Tiana's eyes almost fall out of their sockets when she hears the words "bed chamber" pour out of the King's mouth.

"WhAt????" Tiana says in English.

The King smirks at her as if he understood what she said.

"She speaks," he says.

The king's smirk widens even more as he takes a step closer to Tiana.

"But, yes, my bed-chamber for some healing," he continues.

Tiana's heart rams against her chest.

"Now, who the heck does this man think he is?" Tiana asks herself, "Healing in his bed-chamber??? I don't think so."

Tears begin to make it to Tiana's eyes.

The King steps closer and runs his thumb under her left eye and wipes her tears away. Unlike, Agust D's hands, the King's are soft and feel smooth against her skin. However, Tiana still feels uncomfortable with him touching her face. When his finger runs along her cheek before he holds it, Tiana closes her eyes and looks away from him. A panicked whimper escapes her mouth when she feels the king's breath on her ear.

"Why are you crying, princess. It'll only take a couple of months," he says.

Despite his tone coming off soft, his voice gives her chills and cuts through her tough exterior like a sword. Nobody has ever made Tiana feel this scared and vulnerable in her life. She feels like a little kid who has lost their parents and has been found by a potential kidnapper. She wants her family. She wants to wake up from this nightmare.

More panicked quiet whimpers escape Tiana and she pushes her body further into Namjoon's arm.

"Oh, princess, are you scared of me?" He asks.

His voice sounds like it's teasing her. 

King Yoongi knows he's scaring Tiana. He can see the fear evident in her eyes and it excites him.

Tiana's body feels frozen. 

"Speak," he commands.

His voice startles Tiana and she flinches against Namjoon's chest. She hates to think it, but she feels more comfortable in the douche bag's arms than being near the ruthless king. His presence takes away all the strength she has and makes her cower away from him. Tiana is used to standing her ground and barking back, but with this man, she can't.

"If you lie, I'll have to punish you and you wouldn't want that, right?" He says.

Tiana's breathing begins to pick up.

"Yes, you scare me," she says in a soft voice.

The king's smirk disappears and his face becomes unreadable.

Tiana stares at him in fear. She's afraid that she may have given him the wrong answer. Was she supposed to lie?

The King throws his head back before cackling loudly, making the guards look at him nervously. 

Tiana furrows her eyebrows at him but fixes her face when the King stops laughing and looks at her with seriousness.

"Good, you should be," he says.

The king steps away from her and nods his head at Namjoon.

As Tiana is carried into the palace, by Namjoon, she can't shake the fear off of her. His dark eyes held a sort of fire and danger in them that shouldn't be messed with. Tiana clenches Namjoon's shirt as she tries to calm herself down. Despite her looking at the man's blue top, she can feel the eyes of others on her.
