Fading Sorrow

Falling again

Previously,

" King Yoon is not interested in marrying her too but it is King father's wish. It is his wish to marry his brother's daughter. But, I don't clearly know the reason. Even if we do know what are we going to do with."

Jihun is getting married ? But why is he marrying Ae-Ri ?

 "Jung Cho, wait! " We both heard a girl's voice as we both were walking.

We turned around to look at another girl running towards us all covered in sweat. She stopped in her tracks as she stood a few steps away from us. Her hands in her hip trying to get hold of her breath.

"His majesty wants to see her." She finally said looking at me.

"Ah! You can take her. We are done looking at the palace for today anyway. Can you take her to the King? I am afraid I have to go now." Jung Cho replied to the girl and she nodded in agreement. Showing me a reassuring smile Jung started walking away.

"So shall we go?" That girl asked me and I just nodded my head.

We both walked through the lone hallway. None of us bothered to even utter a word. Something is happening inside me. We both stopped in front of a giant door. My heartbeat increases rapidly as soon as the thought of meeting him comes to my mind.

"Don't forget not to look straight. Then I will be going, you should go in"

She said as she walked away. I looked at her as she walked away, her figure fading slowly from my sight. I hesitantly placed my hands on the giant golden handle and pushed the door opening it.

There he was looking out through the huge windows. Cold wind gushing in, his hair flying as the wind hits his face making him look like an angel. My heart still refuses to believe that the ruthless king was him all these time.

He noticed my presence and started to walk towards me with his hand on his back. The moon light falls on his face highlighting his flawless milk like skin, perfect jawline and not to forget his exquisite blue eyes glazing in the natural light. After all the things I have gone through, the things I witnessed today and even after finding the truth I cannot stop myself admiring him. Even though I knew it was wrong for me to love a person like him.

Everything around me fades away whenever I see him. I wanted to throw myself in his arms and never let him go but I couldn't do it. And this makes me go crazy. This man has a great impact on me like he owns my life, like he is the reason for me to live, like he is my world. I got distracted as I heard him clear his throat.

"So, I guess you would have seen around the palace." He asked and I just nodded my head as nothing came out of my mouth.

The thing that girl said before leaving me repeating in my head but I couldn't take my eyes away from his face.

"From tomorrow you will be helping me and you will be with me every time. You will not leave until I tell you to do so. Remember you are 'my slave' and you will work for none other than me. Understand?" He asked, looking at me and I nodded my head in agreement, everything was happening on its own. I no longer had any control over myself. "You can leave." His piercing glaze was killing me. 'He is the most intimidating person in the whole existence.'

"I told you to leave!" He raised his voice a bit and I came to my senses dragging my feet outside his room.

Every step I took my heart was getting heavier and heavier as if I was losing a part of me. I finally reached the maids room. My mind is stuck at the things that happened now. I felt someone shaking me, I looked up to find Jung Cho.

"We are going out to the workers' garden. Are you coming with us Ara?" She asked .

"Yeah I need some fresh air." I said, she led the way and I followed her.

We reached the garden and it was pretty close to the maids room. It was beautiful, surrounded by trees, flowers and grass. Fully green it made my heart feel a bit ease. The cold breeze and moonlight make it more comforting.

"I want to be alone for sometime." I said to Jung and she just smiled nodding her head.

I slowly walked and laid down under a big tree far away from all the people. I just stared at the breathtaking night sky.

"He surely is the most intimidating person in the whole existence ."
