Return of the great warriors (Enhypen ff)

3.Flower Kingdom

         "Do you know it is known that the Flower kingdom has the prettiest girls in the heaven realm? What do you think? Would anyone fall for me?" He was been quite annoying as he had asked that same question again and again for the hundredth time.

"I advise you sincerely to keep your mouth shut for the time being if you don't want to lose your very charming face," I said quickening my pace when he came after me playfully.

"I have this very bad feeling that our next warrior will be a girl." I knew that he would never listen to me but, the thing he said made sense when I kept thinking about it again and again.

After a long hard journey we reached the Flower Kingdom but, entering it was harder than we expected. The flower kingdom was ruled by a queen who was rumored to be a stunning beauty in three realms. Humans worshiped her for beauty. Mothers came asking her for beautiful children. She had made herself some stories and a reputation but never revealed herself and hid in the kingdom. The kingdom itself was enchanted and many couldn't see it unless they were desperate and smart enough. No one knew what kind of Magic they had used for it. Gladly we got in using the royal pass given by the King.

I had to admit that the words that were rumored about the Flower Kingdom and its beauties were quite true. The beauty was more emphasized by their actions. Everyone walked gracefully like stepping on the surface of the water without disturbing the stillness of it. Their steps were light and made no sound. We only saw flowers everywhere. From the most common rose to the rarest beautiful flowers were there.

The palace's doors were opened for us by another beauty which seemed to have taken Heeseung's full attention. When I stepped in my heart started to beat fast. Maybe it was excitement or nervousness but, I certainly wasn't expecting it to come. When she came and stood before us, I heard Heeseung gasp loudly. She was the pure definition of beauty. Her skin had the perfect colour of a flower which I saw on the way there and she was shining like the sunshine in a beautiful morning. Her face was flawless and she was breathtaking. (I bet anyone won't ever get tired of staring at her forever) The words would never describe her beauty in the exact way. Even though she was a few centuries older than me she looked younger.

I noticed her hands for the first time when she greeted us and her voice sounded like pouring sweet honey. I unconsciously hid my hands in the back and thought back to realize how rough and hoarse my voice was. I was ashamed to show off my rough hands which had killed many with my own sword which was hanging on my belt and afraid to talk to reveal the broken voice which ordered hundreds of troops to kill without mercy. That day I realized that I did not deserve to be called a proper woman and the people around me never treated me as one either.

When my reaction to her happened that way I suddenly noticed Heeseung from the corner of my eye. (None would dare to take their eyes off her. That would never happen easily unless that person doesn't have healthy eyes.) Heeseung looked more like a statue that was built because he hadn't even blinked or moved since she came in. He stayed with his mouth open in awe. His eyes were twinkling from the beauty. I wanted to kick his ass so he would come back to his senses.

"Another two came while lost?" A playful voice shattered it all. When I heard the voice my head turned in that direction immediately as if possessed. I was extremely thankful for letting me see such beauty during the trial. The surprise was he was a lad with a bright smile that exposed his dimple. I was quite surprised that I didn't notice that he had been focusing on me for a while since he came. When he caught me unprepared I felt a bit uncomfortable. That was a new feeling for me because in my life I have never faced a situation like that before. Maybe it was love or maybe not.

"I thought there were no boys." When Heeseung said that I wasn't sure what his feelings were but, it sensed anger or maybe jealousy. I think it's none but pure amusement.

"Hmm." I was quite surprised when the flower queen replied to him in a too-simple manner. "It is quite late already so Yi yi and Heeseung I would like to invite both of you to stay in the palace tonight." Surprise after surprise. It wasn't even dark but, they still wanted us to stay the night. "Must be habits of pretty ladies. Better sleep makes people more beautiful." Heeseung mumbled to my ear. That reminded me of my sleepless nights on battlefields and various missions. I have spent days with a small amount of sleep. Until that day I was never bothered about my appearance or sleep. It was offensive in a way.

When we got into our rooms the beds gave out the fragrance of flowers sleep came to me the moment I lay on it. After I woke up the next morning I walked out of my room to a dark dungeon to find two strangers talking to each other but, the strangest of all was that one of them was more than familiar.
