The Enchantress

89.

Prince Chaeyoung.

We spent a few hours talking about strategies, while the girls helped to tend to the wounded.

At night I was near the entrance along with Momo and Tzuyu. When I hear someone went out of the cave. I immediately stood and woke Tzuyu. Momo was nowhere in sight.

We walked a bit farther away from the cave when we saw Momo who's holding Dahyun.

"What did you do!? We told you to stay away from him. I've said even before that he's no good for you!"

"No good? Where he is now? He's just now the King. While your boy prince will never be one." It was Miyeon who's holding an owl on her hand. The owl has a letter on it's bag.

"Miyeon please, don't do it." Momo said.

She smiled and released the owl. I drew my bow but Tzuyu was quick who was already aiming for the owl and shoot.

He missed the owl, who swayed a little but continued to fly, but Tzuyu got the owl's bag. It fell on the ground.

"No!" Miyeon screamed and then ran.

I ran after her. I am faster than her. I was able to catch her by holding unto her dress. I stopped immediately and because of her momentum it made her jerk backward as I was still holding her dress.

"Traitor." I drew my sword and aim it to her. Her eyes showed fear. "How?"

She began to cry. "Don't cry on me woman! Speak!" I shouted making her tremble in fear.

Momo, Tzuyu and Dahyun was able to catch up with us.

"Chae... No..." Momo said holding Dahyun.

"Speak." I said going closer to her. My sword is now near her chest. She trembled.

"He... He came the same time you got back from Aevar. He... He asked for work from us. He... He courted me and we fell in love. He told me his plans and said I'd be his queen once he succeeded..."

She suddenly stood and was about to run but I caught her and pushed her. She lost her balance and fell to the ground. She was about to stand but I aimed my dagger towards her. It hit the ground which was inches from her head. She cried out of fear as she almost got hit.

"You almost killed me! You're not suited to be a King!"

I went to her and held her up by her arm. I took my dagger. "I want to kill you. A traitor like you dont deserve to live. You helped the man who killed my father... I'm not suited to be a King? Then who is? your boyfriend? Who killed a dozen Kings?"

I pulled her closer and said. "I want to kill you badly. But my brother wouldn't want your blood on mine. I assumed your sister don't want to see you die in front of her too."

I released her and Tzuyu tied her hands with a rope.

"Shame on you. You're a disgrace to our family. I no longer have a sister. You should be the one who's dead not the Kings!" Dahyun said before walking away.

Momo mouthed thank you to me before he went after her.

We checked our surroundings first before we walked back to the cave. We had her sit in the corner.

"Tell us everything." I said.

"Go on girlie. Speak." Mason said. He just learned what happened so he sat in front of her while playing with his dagger. After a few minutes she remained quiet.

"You're not going to speak?" Mason then threw his dagger as well as three more daggers went flying and all landed above her head. She fell on the ground and cried.

Me, Mason, Lopi and Tzuyu all took our daggers and went back to where they were sitting.

"Sorry Dahyun." Tzuyu said.

"Yeah you should be. You shouldn't miss." Dahyun said looking disgusted at her sister.

Mina and Sana saw what happened and they both pulled Dahyun towards the inner cave.

"Now where were we?"

"The traitor witch here will tell us a story." Mason said.

"Oh right. Go on." I said as I sat on a wooden box. It took her a few minutes for she couldn't speak due to her body's trembling in fear.

"It started with Jaryu. He had some of his soldiers disguise as soldiers of Kyria when they came here during war. They were trained to learn our language and was dispersed to different Kingdoms. When Jaryu died, the Aevar soldiers no longer knows what to do until Torton came. He sent them messages stating that he'll took over the mission. His ambition is to be the King of Kyria. He planned it for months and succeeded in his mission of killing all the Kings and be one himself. He will force your soldiers to fight for him or face death. He'll hunt you three first before he invade all the kingdoms."

"You knew this all along and still stand by him? You're willing to sacrifice lives over your ambition?" Momo said.

"You don't know a thing you've been born with a golden spoon in your mouth. So don't act like you know boy Prince!"

Me and Tzuyu quickly stood, drew our swords and walked towards her making her crawl backwards towards the corner.

"Don't you dare disrespect him. He's the only reason why you're still breathing!" I angrily said pointing my sword at her.

She trembled and used her arms as a shield.

I lowered my sword and went back to where I was sitting. We soon ignored her and me, my brothers, Lopi and Mason gathered and brainstorm what we could do.

Suddenly Miyeon quickly stood and ran out of the cave. I slammed my fist on the make shift table. "This woman is testing my patience. I'll handle her."

I ran after her and after a few minutes I came back alone.

"Where is she?" Tzuyu asked.

"Did you?..." Momo looked alarmed.

"As much as I want to, no Momo, I did not kill her. I tied her up unto a tree and tied her mouth too. Let her believe she'll stay there the whole night. Lopi have someone guard her in case there's a wild animal or whoever stumbled to her. But don't let his presence known."

"Thanks Bro." Momo said patting my shoulder.

An idea comes in mind. Stealth.
