Her Concubine (Maknae Line×Reader×M.Y)

13. Greed

"Your majesty look"-

"What-"

There was Erelah Averi's once unmovable and unusable carriage standing perfectly on its wheel.

"How's this possible?"

"It's a miracle. Isn't it?"

Kai asked completely amused. The carriage's wheels were broken and now it looked like it was just a newly made carriage.

Erelah Averi understood how.

" 'Magic'. It's not a miracle when magic exists here that even small creatures like fireflies carries it like a bag of wealth"

This was a world of magic. Magic existed to its great extent in this forest. Magical creatures lurked inside the forest. And she understood it very clearly.

Her guards  looked at her with contemplation as she let out words  they couldn't actually fathom.

"I don't understand your highness"

"You don't have to. I'm grateful to whoever or whatever made my carriage completely fine. Now, it's time for our departure"

"Yes, your highness"

She hummed in satisfaction. Highness was always a word she loved to hear.

"Leaving without thanking me? That's very rude of you your highness"

"Ugh"

"It's not even a day that she's gone and I'm already missing her"

"I miss you Areum where are you?"

"When will I get to see you again?"

" Jeon Jungkook is getting crazy for you"

He chuckled at his own words. Yoongi called him for dinner. But he refused to eat anything. He lost his appetite. Jeon Jungkook was always a foodie. But there he was rejecting foods.

He started to doze off anywhere at the thoughts of her. Seemed like she took his sanity along with her.

"Can't you see I'm right at your feet? whenever, Wherever, We're meant to be together. I'll be there and you'll be near and that's the deal my dear"

He hummed a song from somewhere he heard in a village fair he happened to pass by one day. He loved the lyrics and after he met his muse, all the lyrics just made sense to him. He was in love with the song. He was in love with her. He mistook his love  as a mere infatuation. But realisation struck him. He knew fell for her the very instant he met her. And he was gonna back up.  He sang the song while emphasizing the lyrics with fondness.

But to his complete oblivion, someone was watching him.

"Did you get any news where they are?"

"No, your highness"

"Okay now leave"

Prince Davide motioned his hand as the guard bowed to him and left the messed up chamber.

He was frustrated. Very frustrated. Being a king's general was frustrating. It needed great determination and hard work. He worked hours and hours, doing the paper works, calculation of the kingdom's economic growth and development and everything that a great general would do. Wrinkles and dark eye bags covered his sun kissed face due to staying up late at night. And for his hard working persona he did receive many compliments and applause. However he was not content. He was never content with it. He needed more. He wanted more.

The king would always pat his shoulder and say, "I'm so proud of you my son".

'Son'. How he wishes he was  King Averi's own son, his one and only heir to the prosperous kingdom. But no! Erelah Averi had to come to this world out of no where and be his opponent.

Davide Xavier was a strong and determined man. And very competitive. He never had a difficulty in defeating his opponent.

But there was one thing he drilled his mind with.

'Erelah Averi was a worthy opponent. And defeating her was like making the hell break loose'.

But he didn't learn how to lose. And he would never lose to his opponent who came out to be his dear cousin Erelah Averi.

He and his cousin never spoke about their silent rivalry among themselves but they worked on it showing off to each other.

Davide would always say-

Words can lie but eyes never lie.

And their eyes always held immense competition between each other.

Greed

He was greedy to have the utmost power, the superiority. He was greedy to have what Erelah has. For sure, he has got everything. But whenever he was reminded of the mighty princess, he would get swipe off by the hurtful truth that Erelah has more than him.

More than he ever can have.

*Knock knock*

"Come in"

"Your highness"

"Hm?"

"We got the location of the princess"
