31. The War

Laughter resonated around the palace as the royals were having their time in the dinner table. Anhye was now seven months pregnant. Today the royal family has invited their most trusted and dedicated scholars and advisors for dinner.

-"But on a true note, we are really happy to have you as our rulers, your highness."

-"Don't say that, you are the reason for making us who we are today." Anhye said.

-"I was really wondering what is the gender of our heir will be." Another scholar said.

-"Girl or boy, my child will be the most precious one to me". Suga said as he caressed his wife's stomach.

-"I believe that His highness can tell the gender. He is good in prophecy.". Dojeon exclaimed.

-"I can try if you say so." Suga then placed his palm on Anhye's stomach and caressed it. He closed his eyes for a while.

-"Our little angel will be a beautiful prince."

Anhye's eyes brimmed with tears as Il-Seong and Dojeon gave them a look of pride. She hugged Suga as everyone were happy as he was right in determining the gender.

While far away:

-"The Time is nearing. The end is approaching..." He laughed like a maniac.

Few weeks later:

It was a normal day for the kingdom. But suddenly a horseman ran through the market in full pace and soon ran to the palace, straight to the throne room. Suga who was conducting the court was surprised.

-"T-The men f-from Pyongwon's kingdom started attacking our guards. T-they are strong and is entering the kingdom in full force. There were so many!" Everyone gasped.

Suddenly a cry was heard from far away. And a man soon entered. He was a soldier of Pyongwon. He handed a letter to Suga.

King Suga, your end has come. Either surrender the kingdom and your beloved wife to me or watch your kingdom getting massacred.

-King Pyongwon

Suga was burning with fury.

-"Ordered all our soldiers to get ready to stop them! Make an announcement across the streets. Make sure all the innocent humans taken to the other side of the kingdom so that they escape or ask them to come to our palace. Protect the kingdom. Let out my horse. I will go to the market." Preparations were taken accordingly. Suga rushed to his chamber to find Anhye controlling her tears.

-"Guardian, what is happening? Please tell me it's not true. I don't want bloodshed. I just want my kingdom to be in peace. Please, I beg you." She broke down in tears. Suga pulled her in his arms and consoled her.

-"We will protect everyone! We will give our best!"

Suga kissed her passionately. He gave her a smile of assurance and walked out, leaving her wife to clasp her hands and start praying.

Suga rushed on his horse to the center of market. He saw that families were carried on horse carts as soon as possible, women collecting their children and belongings while many men stayed back in order to protect the kingdom, for the royalty who were with them in every step.

Soon the war started. The enemies burn the houses, tried killing every one that came in their way. No one saw this coming. The number of soldiers continued to increase, not enough for their men. Suga realized that the power radiating from them is not of a normal human. It was supernatural. The soldiers were giving their best. Suga was shocked in seeing that their power is quite weak and no skilled knights were against them.

Bloodshed was everywhere. Screams and pleas of pain and death torn the earth apart. Smoke filled the sky, covering the Sun.

But it hit him.

The main focus of the enemies was the palace.

Suga soon realized, so he asked the soldiers to rush to the castle, only to realize that it was a trap. A distraction to get to the palace.

Meanwhile the palace was under attack. Anhye managed to get all the court ladies and maids in her chamber, consoling everyone while herself holding her tears. It was the first time to have her kingdom under war. She held her stomach with her hand. Screams and clinking sounds of swords filled the palace.

The door was destroyed and a strong man entered the room. Everyone screamed. He smirked and pulled the queen who tried to fightback, but her fragile self restricted.

-"Finally, I got you." The man smirked and pointed his sword to her stomach.

-"Now let me kill that insect which is the reason for our emperor for not getting you." He raised his sword. Anhye shielded herself to protect her unborn child. But there was nothing. She opened her eyes to see the man lying dead.

-"Il-Seong-ah!" She sobbed.

-"I will protect you and my little nephew till my last breath, 누이!" And he continued fighting against anyone who tried to enter the room. There were many. It was obvious that he was getting tired. But he will fight. For his sister, his only parent and his happiness. With his determination, he almost killed everyone. His hanbok was filled with blood. He was breathing heavily, raising his sword to finish another one.

But he didn't expect what was coming up.

-"Il-Seong-ah!" He turned around but it was too late. Someone attacked him from behind. Pulling the sword straight through his stomach. Il-Seong fell on his knees. Anhye caught him before he could fall down. She placed him on his lap. She cried bitterly.

-"Il-Seong-ah, why? Why are you leaving me! Aren't you supposed to play with your nephew, teach him art! Please don't go! We need you! I need you. Don't leave your 누이!" Anhye couldn't breathe properly.

-"누이, I promised you that I will protect you till my last breath. See I kept my promise. Dear sister, you are my everything. Thank you for giving me the love that I thought I would never receive. Thank you for believing in me, letting me grow in the way I wanted. Thank you for always making me smile. Thank you for p-protecting me *cough* n-never giving u-up on me. P-please protect yourself, my p-precious brot-ther in law. And m-my l-little n-nephew. *cough*

I l-love y-you 내 누이." And his soul left for heaven.

A tear dropped down as she saw his brother taking his last breath. His pale body laid in her lap covered in blood. She didn't realize that everything was quiet. She didn't realize that Suga was standing with tears in his eyes. She caressed her little brother's lifeless but beautiful face.
