Min, the Mad King

Chapter 14

"Hee, I need to get you untied and dressed. Jimin and Joon are here, and I know you don't want them to see you like this." His long fingers worked on the ties that held her, "I, do you want me to clean his cum out? It won't do any good if you are, but at least he won't be on you anymore."  

She nodded weakly, and he picked her up and carried her into the bathing chamber. They didn't have enough time to get her adequately cleaned, but at least he could do this for her: get her cleaned up and wipe off the blood from himself. Then, he wrapped his cloak around her, ensuring it was secure, before picking her up again. 

"I know you want to sleep, and soon you can. But Hee, I need you to listen. You might already be carrying my child, but regardless of that. There are potions you can drink that will terminate a pregnancy. We can do that if you want, if you don't want to risk having his child. But know this: I will love it like my own, even if it's not my child. That I can promise you."

"I love you," she whispered before her eyes closed and fell asleep in his arms. 

He carried her out of the room; Jimin and Joon were standing in the middle of several dead bodies. Their bodies were exhausted at having to take on that many at once. "Is she okay?"

"Yes and no; I'll let her tell you when she's ready. We need to get her back to the castle."

Jimin jumped towards the door, "I'll get his horses hooked up to a carriage so you can ride in it with her." Then he was gone.

Joon walked towards his sister, that was limp in her husband's arms, "he raped her, didn't he? He sighed, "Because I've heard those screams and seen the after-effects. Hee doesn't know this, hell even Taehyung has no idea. Only Jin and I know since we were older and there when it happened."

"When what happened?" Yoongi was almost afraid of the answer.

"Our father is gone a lot," Joon said while looking the King in the eyes.

The King nodded, "Yes, I know, he's a Lord. But when his wife died in childbirth, he stopped coming to the meetings of the heads of the family. He'd gone to do scouting missions instead. My father told me about it, said that your father was so devastated at losing his wife and child that he needed time away." Yoongi chuckled a bit, "now we know that he needed time away so he could hide the fact that the baby girl lived."

"That is true, but Hee isn't his. Our mother was raped one night in the village by a band of traveling merchants. Our father was at a meeting with your father when it happened. Tae was only a baby at the time. But Jin and I were up, way past bedtime, trying to sneak sweets when we heard it. We saw the men leave, and we helped clean our mother up and stayed with her until our father got back." He sighed as he gently touched his sister's hair. "She's going to need you, need your strength."

"She's not your fathers?" Yoongi was shocked. Not that he cared, yeah, some of the Lords would have a fit if they found out that she wasn't from a noble family, but he gives no shits about that at all. 

"Does that bother you? We swore we'd never tell to protect her. As my father's daughter, she holds more power, even if she's a girl. But my mother's dying wish was for him to take her away; she didn't want her to become your wife." He rubbed the back of his neck, "I'm sorry. I know that you aren't bad. But she never trusted your father, so seeing her daughter end up with you was saddening."

"No, I get it. Trust me. The more I learn about my father, the angrier I get."

"It's ready," Jimin said softly from the doorway.

"Alright, let's go," Yoongi said before a flash of metal caught the corner of his eye. He had about a second to realize it was a sword and it was coming for his wife. So he twisted his body to get her out of harm's way and kept his eyes on the man. Namjoon lunged towards the man, and his sword slid through his stomach, but not before the man managed to slash his sword down Yoongi's right eye. "Fuck," he roared as the man fell to the ground.
