CURSED : The Blue Eyed Maiden [ BTS FF ]

Chapter 47

Ara's POV

And I got caught.

Well.... let's say I surrendered myself.

Was this all Jena's plan? I don't understand what God wants from me, a different ending? What is this? His puppet show? Indeed. That's why he created us, huh? To fucking get entertained. I feel like an animal in circus. And him as the only person watching the circus, munching on popcorn. Must be fun to be powerful, isn't it?

I groaned as the royal guards dragged me with them. There was no option of running away. I was tied up in chain and the grumpy general was leading my way back to the hell hole which I escaped. Han palace. Are they really going to take me back to that old heartless minister? I don't want to go. But I only agreed because Sogum was waiting for me there. I left her behind without thinking much. Is she even alive? This was all against royalty, will Taehyung be that cruel? Did he kill Sogum... no....no way...

"Is she okay!?" I whispered making Yoongi turn to me. He didn't reply and looked back at the road. Good thing I had a veil covering my face , It was embarassing to get dragged like a criminal in the middle of the street.

How life became like this? Will I be able to survive till the end of the novel? I'm not sure. Am I going to end up being a concubine just like Hankyung's mom? What'll my life become after this? Han kyung isn't even that pretty , will she even stick out enough to gain King's attention?

Dad never paid attention to me and my mom after he met his new girlfriend. My parents started living their own life. Mom would pretend to be okay , she'd go shopping and party and focus on business while dad would spend time with his secret family when he's not handling the company. And their relationship was just professional. They wanted to show public that they're perfect couple with a happy family , a sweet daughter and success kissing their feet.

But to them I was just a stranger. They used me as a trophy of their fake relationship. They showered money on me to keep me happy, thinking money can buy everything but.... I always lacked the warmth of my parents. Their presence. Even though the maids and butler were like a family to me but for a kid, no one can replace their parents. Can they?

So I always wanted to marry someone I love. I don't want my children to suffer like me. I don't know if I'll ever be able to love Taehyung who just sees me as a trophy too. He's completely different from the person I loved. My first love. But if I have to get out of this world, I have to marry him. Is that what god wants? I hate me for not knowing about this novel. Even Jena knows.... shouldn't she help me?

I already helped you. Don't you think so?

"Huh?" I looked around as I heard Jenna's voice. How can she....

Dummy. We're connected.

Fuck, life can't be more worse. I groaned and ignored Jena. Why that kid even got a mind reading skill? Annoying. I followed the guards and the Sercarian general. As we were walking, my blue orbs traced the street. Sogum told me something about a festival. I forgot.... Are the commoners preparing for that? How fun. Wish I could witness the preparation with Jimi--- WAIT I came back to the Han palace without informing Jimin. Fuck...

Will he be okay? Will he be mad? Will he hate me for leaving all of a sudden? I don't know... I didn't get chance to even thank him properly and see , I'm back to where I was. It's so disappointing.

I don't know how to face Taehyung. Will he be mad ? I ran away without caring about his reputation. Will he finally break off the engagement after this? I hope so .....

And then you won't be able to go in the palace anymore.

'Do you want me to go to that damn palace ? Even the servants were hostile towards me. I'm a princess , why would they talk like that to me? I felt humiliated. Plus I don't think Taehyung will take me back. He must hate me for breaching his trust.' I sighed looking around the street again. To be honest, I'm really scared of Taehyung.

I dragged my lazily, not really aware of where the royal guards are taking me to. But what surprised me was .... his voice.

The faint mumbles coming from the right corner of the buzzing crowded market. Why I never thought about it. If Taehyung, Jimin and Yoongi were here that means.....

He'll be here too?

My heart started thumping faster against my chest as I pulled on the chains to turn my head towards the faint voices. The very familiar voices.

It has to be them. I know. It's him. I can't forget. I can't misheard , it is them. It is Jungkook.

"Princess? Let's go. You shouldn't halt more and make your highness wait for you. Whatever you did was already disappointing. Let's go." Yoongi rolled his eyes at me as he pulled on the chains which were hidden under the long veil which was almost covering my whole body. Ofc they didn't want the public to notice the chains on their ruler's fiancé's hands. Still ..... this was very humiliating. Why Yoongi always ends up hurting me!? He must really hate me, doesn't he? I turned back one last time but I couldn't see much.

Jungkook.... was that really you?

Jungkook's POV

"Woahhh Sercarian market is really crowded and beautiful , isn't it?" Jin's eyes sparkled as he asked me. He looked like a child on some trip with his friends. Well indeed the market was prettier than Mesmeria's. Hyeong really maintained his kingdom , he's a good ruler. Can't deny. Will I ever become like him?

What am I even thinking? I hate him , he hates me too--

I frowned as I hold on the bags that Yoona noona handed me. The market place was really crowded but what gained my attention was the Sercarian guards walking through the crowd. What were they doing here? I lowered my gaze and tugged on Jin hyung's shirt. "The guards-".

Jin hyung looked up and shook his head. "I don't sense any danger yet."

"Damien? Dwaeji? Do you want to have some spicy tteokbokki in my favourite restaurant?" Noona smiled as she started picking some fresh vegetables to buy. I glanced at the guards , it's better to go in the restaurant than stay out in danger.

"Sure." I licked my lip and moved closer to her. "Noona? Why are the guards here?"

"Are they patrolling? I don't really know." she casually shrugged. "Maybe some criminal?" she mumbled showing Jin some fresh tomatoes. I turned back , a criminal in red veil? I almost mistook them as a bride.

"Criminal? What are you saying?" The shopkeeper blinked before averting his gaze to the guards walking away from us. "She's the han princess. She surrendered herself and now finally going back to the person who owns her." he chuckled making me tilt my head. "The blue eyed maiden surely is a rebel , isn't she?"

wait...... blue eyed.....maiden?

BLUE EYED MAIDEN????
