[MAKE SURE TO READ BOOK 1 ('ROYAL LOVE') BEFORE READING THIS. 'MI AMOR' IS THE CONTINUATION OF 'ROYAL LOVE.']

The sound of shackles and terror filled screams echoed in the room. “Aren't you his pretty little lady?” He spat at her face. Her head hung low not out of submission rather dismay. There was no reason that she had to continue surviving in this brustish world. The love of her life was no more.

The Kingdom that once flourished in happiness today was mourning and crying tears of pain and fear. Mercy? That was something the trespassers didn't show. “Min Yoongi's lover, how do you feel? Your lover is no more. I killed him.” Laughing with an evil ugly toothy grin. He scoffed at her. She scowled, lifting her head up.

“My love might have died but the immense respect and love he left behind the people of his Kingdom you can never have that bitch.” Her cheek stinged, at the harsh impact he had left. Gritting her teeth she didn't dare utter another word. “Your love is no more yet you have the  audacity to praise that loser?”

A woman tolerates everything. But when it comes to her dignity or the love she adheres for her man. There were no boundaries she would hesitate to breach. This was the same situation to her. “Dare say another word about my love, I won't hesitate to rip that loathsome neck off your body.” He laughed, whipping her body without any mercy.

“You would kill me? Look at you, a mere woman, who's born just to please men. Did he please you well? If not I could show you better.” She bit her lip suppressing any scream. Not giving him the satisfaction that she was in immense pain.

“Kill me, for I shall die being a loyal lover to my man. Die a virtuous death than beg the devil for his disgraceful mercy.” He punched her across her jaw. Grabbing her chin harshly. “You don't tell me what to do, you're nothing but my toy. For me to use and throw.”

-KINGDOM OF BUSAN-

“Your highness” a man runs into his court. Catching his attention. “The Kingdom of Daegu is under attack.” Jimin stands up abruptly from his seat. “It's King Jongmin's doing.” Acknowledging the King, his eyes scorched with vengeance. “Prepare the army we are attacking Daegu right now.” He commanded.

The man gulped but scurried outside to pass the news to the general of the army. Jimin sat on his horse. Galloping it, ushering it to run. The journey was far, but not impossible to him. It took them a good six hours to reach Daegu. It no more looked like an amiable, prosperous Kingdom.

Gesturing his men to take guard, Jimin gets off his horse. Entering the city. The muddy streets no longer had children playing around, or vendors coaxing housewives to buy clothes and basic amenities from them.

All that was seen was blood, and blood. A few bodies deserted here and there with their organs missing. Jimin's eyes welled up with tears. He knew the King of Daegu from a few meetings they had met in. Jimin couldn't label it as an exact friendship between them. But a huge amount of respect filtered his heart for Yoongi.

“Your Highness, according to our sources they've killed everyone here. Except, a few maidens and kids that have been held hostage at the palace.” Jimin nods his head. Removing his sword pointing at his men.

“Save those kids and the girls. It ain't any option for you to select, I want each and everyone of them healthy and sound. Am I clear?”

They bowed their heads, heading towards the palace. “Why ain't there any men around this part?” Jimin was curious. Perhaps, they didn't feel it was necessary to guard this part of the city.

None had survived, losing their lives to the heinous enemy. “I shall kill you and impart justice to all these innocent souls.” He sneaked his way into the castle. All alone, letting his men take control. A lady's screams echoed in his ears. Jimin's heart was pounding vigorously.

Following the sound he came across a girl who was begging to a man, towerering her shivering state to set her free. Without hesitating he barged in, slicing his throat off his head. “Are you fine?” He placed his coat over her shivering figure. “You're safe. Let's get you out of here.” The unsettling feeling in his heart didn't seem to find ease anytime soon.

The Sound of footsteps alerts Jimin. He stands in front of the girl, protecting her. “Your majesty we've saved the kids.” Noticing it's his men he sighed out of relief. “Take this girl from here. With all due and respect. Make sure to treat her wounds.” The general helped the girl out.

“There is a problem,” the older man said, bowing his head. “What is it?” “King Jongmin has held a lady captive. One of his men whom we've managed to capture revealed she's the late King Yoongi's lover. Apparently he plans to use her.” His last sentence comes out as a whisper.

“Where is she?” Jimin strictly asks. “On the other floor.” Without questioning anything further Jimin strides to that floor. “Evil needs to be destroyed, death is it's ultimatum. You shall face death as well Jongmin.”

Mocking chuckles and harsh strikes echoed in the silent pathway. Jimin had killed anyone who came across his path. “Min Yoongi has a really rebellious lover doesn't he? Didn't he tame you well enough? Want me to do it, bow to me. I'm your King now.”

Jongmin fists a chunk of hair, yanking her head back. “You're the ugliest creature I've ever seen, Yoongi's lover.” His left hand choked the breath out of her.

She remained unfazed, eagerly anticipating death to consume her. Set her free of the torture the devil had adjourned on her. “Once I die, we shall meet again my love.” A sad smile faltered on her chapped lips. “Speak up you whore, speak up. Obey to me.” Violent slaps were wrecked on her.

“I shall never give him what he wants. 'Die a triumphant death, then submit to the devil.' That's what my love had told me. Now I understand why my love always said these words.”

“Choi Jongmin” his hands were cut apart. The whip landed on the floor. Jongmin held his hand that was divided into two. Jimin wasn't done yet, smearing his sword with the blood of his other hand as well.

She witnessed everything, not knowing what actually to feel? Sadness? Because death won't be given to her anymore. Or happiness that the leftover people from the Kingdom shall be saved?

Jimin kicks him across his face. Landing his bleeding body on the floor. Edging his sword across his chest. Jongmin looked at him with fright, Jimin was not a King to joke with.

“You power hungry monster, did you not feel even an ounce of mercy, while shedding blood of those innocent souls? For your own greed? You call yourself a King? I see you as a bandit, a betrayer. Betrayers don't deserve to live.”

Jimin plunged his sword violently in his chest. Blood splashed on his face. Removing it he continued his actions smiling victoriously. The sight of him, killing the dead man, surprised her. This was new. For she had never seen any other man apart from Yoongi enjoying the bitter taste of blood to this extent.

His eyes fell on her figure, eyes softening. From a blood thirsty predator to an empathetic human. Jimin's personality changed in no seconds. “Mi Amor.”
