KING'S ( Seokhoon X Rona)

33

- What? - Seokkyung nervously asked. - What are you talking about?
- You were right... I didn't let anyone visit Rona, except you and Minhyuk...
- And? That's making me killed?! Why would I do that?
- Poison... I haven't told you anything about the poison... So how did you know that she was poisoned Seokkyung? - Seokhoon tried to remain calm, he wished that his sister would say something that would prove that it wasn't her... But deep down he knew that it was impossible.
- Brother... I didn't do it!
- Are you going to keep on lying to me Seokkyung? - Seokhoon raised his voice
- No! It doesn't make a scene!  I didn't do anything!
- Tell me why did you do it? Because of mom? Because she is the one who pushed Rona? Tell me Seokkyung - Seokhoon begged, he was tired. Tired of everyone betraying him, even Seokkyung.
- I... I...
- There is no point in denying it Seokkyung... So tell me why did you do it?
- I... I wanted you to be happy brother, I  really do... And I also liked Rona... But family comes first if Rona has woken up and said the truth then what would happen to our mom?
- You really had to go that far? You really had to kill her? - Seokhoon's voice was shaking, his eyes started to get teary, he grabbed the knife and handed it to Seokkyung, she looked at him surprised as she couldn't understand what was he doing, Seokhoon took Seokkyung's hand that was holding the knife and brought it in front of his chest - So you went that far because of your mom? Then do it...
- What?
- Kill me too Seokkyung. Cause I'm not planning on forgiving...
- Brother - Seokkyung mumbled and tried to remove her hand but Seokkhoon hold it right and brought it even closer, now the knife  was touching his chest
- What? Can't do you? You killed Rona to save your, mom, so do the same thing... Save you, mom, again Seokkyung.
- I would never hurt you! You know that!
- You already did! Nothing could hurt me more than knowing that you killed the person who I loved... Even if you kill me now it won't hurt me more than you already did... - Seokhoon answered.
- Brother... Please... I... I just wanted to help mom... I knew that you wouldn't forgive her if you knew.
- Right... I won't... Joo Seokkyung from this moment on we aren't family... I don't even know why I tried to stop my dad and killed that man to save you... - Seokhoon said
- What do you mean?
- Forget it... - he said and let go of her hand.
- Tell me! What do you mean Seokhoon?!
- You knew... Our father was planning to give you to that old man, who do you think killed him? What do you think why I was missing?! Our Father left me there to die cause I killed that man... And your mother knew why I was missing - he answered
- No... You are lying, right?
- Believe whatever you want but it's all over now. I'm done protecting you... Oh and right since we are on telling the truth... I'm not Suryeon's son - He said, he wanted to say everything and finish everything, he was always worried about Seokkyung hating him once she knew the truth but now he didn't care.
- I know...
- What?
- I heard too... Their talk... And how you were listening to them, But it doesn't change the fact that we are family Seokhoon. I never wanted your place, you have every right to be a king!
- You are right, that doesn't change anything, I always thought of you as my sister whom I had to protect forever, but now... I wish you weren't even my step-sister... You killed Rona and I will never be able to forgive you Seokkyung. I will destroy your mom, watch and see how far you made me go. - Seokhoon said and left the room, without waiting for her answered

"No... What have I done..."  Seokkyung couldn't help but cry out loud, she didn't know until now what her brother had done to save her, but what she did? She took the happiness from him... And now she has lost him forever

- King are you sure? - Minhyuk asked once he heard the truth from him, he couldn't believe it, he was always thankful of Seokkyung he believed that she was worried about Rona, but what was he hearing now doesn't seem right, he couldn't understand why she betrayed them both Seokhoon and Rona, because of her mom? Does hiding her evil-doing mean that you are helping her? 
- I wish I wasn't Minhyuk - Seokhoon answered, he was trying his best to handle everything but he was human too and all of this was too much for him, he was lost, now he was sure that no one was on his side, now he was sure that he was alone...
- And what are you going to do now?
- They are my family but it doesn't change the fact that they killed Rona... That's way I can not forgive them... But to be honest, I'm lost... I don't know what to do anymore... I wanted to kill that person myself but... It's Seokkyung how can I kill my sister? Or my mom?
- I understand... And whatever you decide I won't judge you... But I can not give up on revenge...
- Thank you. And I'm not planning on giving up on my revenge... So don't worry Minhyuk we will get revenge for her. No matter what...
- I appreciate King. I've heard Mr.Logan is coming tomorrow
- yeah... have you heard anything about him?
- king ha mentioned that Cheon Seojin's dad stole the kingdom from him, as far as I know Mr.Logan's brother was in love with Seojin and she used his trust... Besides Logan's dad trusted Seojin's dad... So they knew everything about their kingdom and were able to take the kingdom and win against them... They killed both the king and Logan's brother. Well, King ha and everyone thought that Logan was also dead. - Minhyuk explained.
- Well, that Kingdom belonged to him anyway... But I don't know... Will it be enough for him? Cheon Seojin killed his family... And taking only his kingdom? - Seokhoon couldn't trust Logan.
- Yeah... Maybe you will be able to understand when you meet him, King.
- Yeah... I think the same.

- King Seokhoon, Queen Eunbyeol - Logan bowed to Seokhoon who was standing at the entrance of his castle, with Eunbyeol next to him.
- Thanks for coming Mr.Logan. Let's go nside - Seokhoon said, Seojin was looking at Logan with anger, she would kill him at that moment if she could.

They all had dinner together, Seokhoon could see how angry and annoyed Seojin was, seeing her like this made Seokhoon feel better, now he knew that inviting Logan was a great idea.

- So Mr.Logan... You made everything pretty clear in your letter. - Seokhoon spoke up.
- Yeah, I tried...
- I appreciate that. I had no idea that that part of the kingdom was actually yours.
- Yes, I understand. Who would admit that, right?  -  Logan said and looked at Seojin.
- Didn't you lose the kingdom because you weren't able to protect it? - Seojin asked.
- Betrayal... - Seokhoon spoke, gathering everyone's attention. -  they lost because they trusted people they shouldn't have - he added, now he was directly looking at his sister, who couldn't face him and looked in another way.
- You are right King Seokhoon. I agree that we shouldn't trust people that easily anymore... That's why I'm not going to ask for your trust, I understand if you are going to doubt me and you have every right. I just don't want you to see me as your enemy... I plan on fully focusing on my people, they went through a lot... And life in my kingdom for them is hard... So I need to focus on them. - Logan answered.
- Thank you for your understanding - Seokhoon said.

***
Logan stayed for two days, he told Seokhoon how he lost the kingdom, it was just as Minhyuk told him, Seojin's father was like a right hand of the king he knew everything and he used  king's own weapons and money against him, and Seojin used the trust of Logan's brother, who was in love with her, he told her where secret entrances of the castle were, so they attacked the Kingdom from the inside. Luckily, that day Logan left the Kingdom, and before he could go back, he was informed that he lost the kingdom... At that time Logan was only 11 and only after 22 years he was able to gather everything to get his kingdom back.

- You went through a lot, Mr.Logan... 22 years... How did you endure it for 22 years?
- It wasn't easy... When I heard what happened to my family... I just wanted to go and kill them all... But how could a little boy kill them when my dad couldn't do anything... That is why I waited... I made a promise that I would take my kingdom back even if it took me forever.
- Well, then Mr.Logan I'm glad to say that I completely agree with you becoming the King - Seokhoon answered.
- Does that mean that you will attend the ceremony? - he asked.
- Sure I will... And do you mind if I bring all of my family members? That includes Cheon Seojin as well... I believe she needs to see it herself... - Seokhoon asked, he wanted to make Seojin suffer and he knew that was a perfect start... Making her watch how Logan would become the king. -
- Oh... I will be more than happy
- I also have a favor to ask.
- What is it?
- Seojin... Make her stay in your kingdom
- What?
- Not for a long.. Don't you agree? Just taking the kingdom isn't enough punishment for her...
- You are right... But what do you want me to do?
- Whatever you want... I just want you to look at her and see what she did to your family... I'm pretty sure then you will figure out what can you do to her.
- But how are you going to make her stay there?
- Don't worry. She won't have a choice.
- Well since this is what you want, I can not disagree with you.
- Great. I will leave you now... Since you are living tomorrow - Seokhoon said and walked away, Logan observed Seokhoon, and once he was gone he couldn't help himself but smirk.
" So you want to make her suffer King Seokhoon... Well, you are being pretty helpful... But what to do? I lied to... I'm planning on extending my kingdom... She took my kingdom now it's my time to take Ha kingdom from her... And I know you won't give up on ha kingdom that easily since it belongs to the girl you lost... But I won't leave you any choice... I will get rid of you as well if you get on my way... But it will be a shame, to be honest, as I can see that you are a great king..."
