Taehyung's POV

I sighed, panic drilling inside my veins. I made a symbolic finger gesture, focusing on the place where Y/n is. I moved my hands in a circular motion, making a Teleport hoop and then going into it. I frowned seeing that it was our Grand Hall, meaning that she was still in the palace.

I looked out my front to see the court people standing and chaos in the room. I walked to the front only to see Y/n kneeling down in front of my father and mother with Sora standing beside my mother.

She was whimpering badly while being held together by the chain and I saw my brother's wife stroking her back. My brother is screaming at our father.

"She said that she doesn't know where Taehyung is. Why are you forcing her?" He roared in rage but Sora answered. "She was in his room when I went there. How did she get into the palace? None of the guards saw her so she is surely a thief."

"A thief surely doesn't wear a tiara and dresses like that. The maid said Taehyung brought her himself. Why are you answering in father's stead?" Taeul snarled. My father glared at him and then back at the girl.

"First Black Magic and now this girl. He is always being rebellious. Listen, girl, which province do you belong to?" He asked and Y/n looked up at him.

"Yuki. I'm the Goddess of Yuki. Taehyung asked me to stay in the room, and please, take me back. He will be waiting for me. I don't want to be here with you all." She said in a cracked voice.

My heartbeat accelerated at her words. Her heart was warming up to me and I couldn't be happier.

"Father, please she's bleeding." I heard Taeul and my ears perked up. I immediately walked towards the center and glared at my father. "What did you do to her?" I asked him darkly but the whore had to answer. "Taehyung, she was stealing—"

I couldn't let Sora finish as I used my magic to throw her to the ground, shutting her off. My parents' eyes widened and my mother glared at me.

"She's a fucking rat trying to humiliate a queen...She's nothing!" My mother snarled but I didn't pay attention to her, still darkly gazing at my father.

"Taehyung, if you are going to disobey me anyway then you're better off dead. Soldiers!" He roared and I chuckled. The soldiers came towards me while I was about to use my magic but I heard a scream. "No, don't hurt him!"

Then everything happened in a flash as I saw Y/n stand before me and throw silver flames from her palms, freezing the people in the front. I frowned at the sight in front of me but then looked at the silver flames still lingering on Y/n's fingers, the metal chains on her wrist turned into ice and broke at the way her hands were trembling. 

"You kept a witch in the palace?" I heard my father gasp.

My eyes widened as I crouched down, and held her waist, spinning her to face me while she was busy staring at her hands with shocked eyes. But what she couldn't see was,

Her eyes were silver.

I hugged her, burying her face in my chest, and looked at my father. "I am not going to marry Sora. This is my future wife and the Queen of Daegu. Y/n." I said, picking her up from the ground and taking her back to my room while everyone was talking about her in the hall.

"It's alright, princess. I'm here with you." I mumbled, taking her back to my secret chamber. While she was shivering in my grip. "Taehyung, I'm not a witch. I'm not a bad person." She cried, fisting my robe. The end of my robe moved up and tried wrapping her body.

My magical relief of tribunal, my robe knows its commander. If I am its commander then so is her. So the robe is trying to keep its commander safe.

"You're not a witch. You're my princess." I said, jerking my head to cast the spell, making the secret door visible and opening the door. I walked past the shelves, taking her to the room where I used to spend most of my time during my childhood.  It wasn't that big of a room but I had kept a bed, a small sofa, and a restroom.

I placed her on the bed and she looked at me with teary eyes. The silver eyes had faded. "I don't know what happened. I didn't want to hurt them." She said and my heart softened.

"What happened suddenly? What made you do that?" I asked, calmly. "I saw the soldiers marching to you but you didn't protest and this rage just suddenly built up inside my body. Then it happened." She said.

Y/n, this living goddess in my palace, is making me weak and for the first time ever, I have something to lose.

Her.

I can't lose her.
And I can't keep her.

I don't know what to do.

She got down from the bed and stood up, going far away from me as she dashed out of the room and into the dark practice room where I practice my magic. I quickly stood up and ran behind her. She needs to calm down. I need to calm down. 

"Y/n?"
