The Devil's Kingdom

Devil or Angel ?

He keeps walking ahead, pulling me behind him. Through the path he's taking me, I couldn't really say if we're out from the military wing now or this all goes under the same. Except for the east side where I was thrown into, I've hardly seen the palace.

He takes me inside a huge room where I could see no one is there. Only the weapons i see had been kept organized on a circular ring type table that surrounds the center of the room which is an open space.

Jungkook stops right in the center. The ceiling above our head is vacant. Because of which an abundant amount of daylight illuminated the room brightly even without any man-made light sources.

He frees his hold on my wrist. I look down at my hand, a faint pink imprint of his fingers had been left on my wrist.

He walks to that circular ring table and picks up a plain steel sword without any exaggerated designs. A little lower category of swords that I had found in his room. Those swords have dual colored edges but these are all of the same color, steel white, on both their edges.

He picks up two & comes back to the center where I am standing.

I think I know what is about to happen.

" What were you thinking when you accepted that warrior's challenge? " he asks me & hands me one of the swords.

He steps back & takes his position holding the sword firmly in his hands. Wow. I am feeling like a kid who just gotten to know about how to use a toy to its whole. The sight of Jungkook perfectly holding that posture with the sword is just unreal & a one to behold. I've never seen anyone holding that posture to this much of perfection. It's exactly like in the book.

For a moment I forgot that he's asking me for a sword fight & is holding that sword in the line of my neck. One strike & my head will fall separated from my body.

" And what made you think that you could've won against him? " he asks. He doesn't attacks me first instead he says " Come at me! "

I shrug all my thoughts immediately & hold up my sword before I lunge attacks on him. I kept throwing attacks towards him again & again without a break. He was just defending my attacks and never striking me back.

He isn't looking like, he's having even any slightest of difficulty in blocking my strikes. He's easily doing it in his one hand & holding the other on his back. Fury raises in me. Is he trying to show me how weak I'm from him?!

I strike at him with all my power, he still blocks it comfortably.

" Did you really thought you could've won against him? " he asks me again. When I didn't responded to him, he sternly demands " Answer me! "

I strike at him again
He blocks it again.

By now, I'm breathing heavily. I look up at him with cold & sharp eyes, and answered him " No. "

He looks at me shocked & confused for a moment & then it changes to fury. He jerks my sword a little & it flies away from my hand before falling on the ground making clinking sounds which echoed throughout the whole room.

I was staring at my fallen sword when I felt a cold & sharp steel touching my skin under the chin. My eyes immediately darted to the front, my breath hitches at the sight of Jungkook's face this close to mine. His eyes are filled with anger. With a very slight movement of the sword he's holding to my skin, he tilts my face to his.

My heart is not beating, it's exploding. What is he doing?

" Do you've any idea where you live, Water Princess?! " he asks coldly which sent chills down my spine.
