Sovereign's Love: 'my love will devour you'

Victory

"Now you are ready to go!" said one of the maids. Your heart beats in fear as you walk out of the room and walk towards King Kim Hyejong's bedroom. You were accompanied by two guards. Their eyes were stuck on you with a slight smirk over their lips. You felt nasty.

"Sit here and wait until his highness comes." you sat over the bed only wrapped in a thin see through silk gown.

Tonight is the night where you will be sleeping with the King. You were one of those slaves kept in harem to satisfy the King's desire. The door opened revealing the drunk old man. With his heavy body he walked towards you, his eyes were filled with lust. You clenched your gown in fear.

He threw his beer bottle somewhere in the room before pushing you down on the bed without giving you a chance. He tore the thin piece of cloth exposing your small body to him. You screamed in fear but he showed no mercy before grasping your bosom with his one hand and sucking on the other.

You were taught if you want to live you must not go against the King's order. You threw fists over him to stop but it was of no use. His giant body was unaffected by your small fists.

He took off his heavy studded gown revealing his erection. Your eyes went wide. "I will die." you said in your mind. He leaned in before biting your neck making you scream your lungs out. Suddenly you received a sharp slap across your face. "Shut up!" he said, making you numb.

"This is my fate? I always believe in you God. Save me. Don't let evil win. Have mercy on me."

He placed his member near the entrance and was about to perform the most hideous act when the screaming of the guards can be heard all over the palace.

"PALACE IS UNDER ATTACK!"

Hyejong quickly jumped out of the bed and drew out his sword in front of the gate. Not even after a second the large wooden gate was brust open revealing the second prince of King Hyejong, Kim Taehyung.

"You ungrateful bastard! How dare you go against your own father!" The young man released devilish laughter. "You were never my father." He raised his sword before beheading the old man's head.

Your head started spinning after witnessing the disastrous incident. The blood of the dead King splashed over your body. Prince, who is now the new King of this Nalthis Land, landed his gaze over you. "What? He is going to kill me too?" You were too scared to even move.

He walked towards you before pulling you closer to him and wrapping your body with the bedsheet. He picked you up in his arms and started walking out of the palace which is covered in blood.

The last thing you remember was his dark gaze lingering over you and the whisper which was not clear but somehow you managed to analyse the words, "Found you, moonlight."

The soldiers who were fighting halted on their actions when their eyes landed on their new sovereign who was walking out of the palace with a small unconscious female figure in his arms. "SET THE HAREM SLAVES FREE!" Taehyung shouted, making everyone scream in victory.

"I finally conquered Nalthis Land!"

Y/N pov
I never stepped out in the light. I was afraid to be seen. I managed to sleep in a room smaller than to be noticed by anyone. I have seen men with heavy weapons walking around guarding this place strictly. "Do they have no heart?" I always wondered and the answer to my question was always yes. They are merciless and only know how to satisfy their own needs even though they have to take someone's life.

I was brought here at the age of five when his highness visited my father to collect debts. Due to fear of losing his house he presented me in front of him as if I am a thing. "She is just a child.....but she will grow up to be a beautiful woman." I still remember his creepy laugh. I missed my mother who threw tantrums to save me but she failed and I was miserably dragged here in this palace to become one of his courtesans.

I managed to find myself a place to sleep which is least seen by anyone. I have seen those men dragging beautiful women to his highness room. Some of them never returned. I yearn for bread and make sure to only crawl out at night when nobody is there. Sometimes I had to sleep starving. But my greed for one more bread dragged me here to this room of the devil. The guards caught me and accused me of stealing. His highness almost forgot about my presence but when he landed his gaze over me again, he immediately recognised me.

Just one piece of bread. Do I have to pay the price with my life? How can I be so unfortunate?
