The Infernal : The Rise Of A King (K.TH)

Ch 39: Hella

Taehyung

Ever since that day, I feel myself clinging to Y/N more. I don't know why, I don't know what has changed. I just know that being apart from her knowing that she is spending her time with that unknown lord is bothering me. Whenever we train I try to keep her with me longer but I can't seem to make her stay. According to our last conversation, the commission is coming to an end soon. But that is also one thing that made me feel anxious. That means we will be coming closer to finding that guy called Raif and finding out more about her past. What if she will choose them over me?

Well today, I made up my mind to pay her a visit. She will have my head for it, making such a reckless move. I know that she wants me to hide out here until we continue our travel. But I can't seem to obey her wishes.

''I might not return for the night,'' I informed Kian his mother. She shook with a smile while Kian brushed his hand over Buddy his side.

''That's okay, have a safe travel.'' I bowed and averted my eyes to Kian who took a step forward.

''Will I see you tomorrow?'' I smiled ruffling his curly locks fiercely. 

''Of course,'' I reassured before taking a firm grip on the reins ready to depart. 

Arriving at the mansion's gate made me gawk. I have been living in a palace as long as I can remember noticing all the flowers and statues around this place made it clear that Lord Rodrick was indeed a man of art. 

''Halt, state your business.'' The guards drew their swords without hearing me out first. 

''I am Ryon Hwan. My friend is currently assisting the Lord with a commission. I merely come to pay a visit.'' They exchanged glances knowing well which friend I was referring to. 

''Wait here.'' One of the guards spoke before jogging past the gate, probably to confirm my claim. Moments later he returned and without anything else to say they made way for me to pass. 

I got off my horse a stable boy quickly coming to my aide. I handed him the reins to Buddy my eyes focused on the white-tiled mansion in front of me. It was marvelous, I haven't been to such a place for months. Purple bell flowers decorated their surroundings. Looking down at my attire I brushed down the dirt on my dusty-colored shirt. It was almost laughable to think I a prince, official heir to the kingdom throne of Navarre, is walking around like a farmer. 

A male greeted me at the doorstep. I bowed and so did he. 

''Welcome, you have come to visit Lady Y/N?'' He questioned. 

''Actually...I wanted to have a word with Lord Rodrick.'' His eyes widened and he fell silent for a moment.

''Lord Rordrick is occupied at the moment, you shall have to make an appointment for another time.''

''It won't be long.'' I insisted.

''We can't allow sudden visitors. You have to exclusively make an appointment first.'' He made it clear. Of course, not anyone can just come to his doorstep wishing for an entry. 

''That's quite alright Eser. I have time to meet a visitor right now.'' He appeared from behind him. Golden locks and eyes that mirror the sky just like Y/N had told me. In his hand was a book and on his nose rested a pair of golden rim glasses. He wore silky black trousers and a pure white shirt with pearls on his collar. His aura was strong and dominant yet he gave off warmth as well.

''My lord.'' I fell down to my knees bowing my head.

''I am Ryon Hwan...a friend of Y/N.'' I introduced. He smiled and pointed for me to rise.
