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

His Majesty Desire

"Warm....I can feel the warmth. I must let myself be under the sunlight a little bit more before anyone sees me." Suddenly a picture of his highness being beheaded by the second prince flashed in front of your eyes. You jolted up in wakefulness and sat up straight only to release a painful groan. Your head was throbbing in pain. You felt the blood rushing down to your body. You found yourself in a large spacious chamber decorated with flowers and jewels as if it belonged to one of the Royal members of the family.

You looked up at the bright sky, "Sunlight! How long has it been since I let myself be under this warm light?" you inhaled a deep breath before stepping down from the bed, but your legs were covered with bandages. Even though your body was aching you went down towards the harem, "where is everybody?" there was not even a single soul in your sight.

The palace was oddly quiet, not like any other day where you always avoided daylight because it was crowded. "Where did the Harem women go? Did they all die?" you looked down to your covered feet. "I don't care. I must go back now." you went back to your old small quarter. The place you spent your whole life.

The room was dark, shabby and smelly but you were used to it. "How many days have already passed? How long have I been asleep?" you released a sigh. A lone tear left your eyes when you remember how you were taken forcefully as a playing thing in front of his majesty. You can still feel his stingy breath over you. "Dear God, let this darkness devour me." you prayed. "I don't want to wake up again."

"And you don't know where Y/N is?" The dark voice echoes around the chamber making the queue of caretakers shiver in fear. "Your majesty, we just went out for a minute but when we returned no one was here." one of the caretakers said with her trembling voice.

"We have been out just for the fresh air since that girl was sleeping from last three days. But she had to wake up now of all times!" one of the caretakers curse in her thoughts

"Yenta!" "Yes, your majesty!" "If no one has been out of the palace it means Y/N is still here. Check each corner of this palace and find her." Taehyung ordered before standing up to leave the chamber, "Also, behead all those who left this room unattended." he gave the last order and left. Everyone who were present in that room froze in their places. Their eyes widened and started pleading for his Majesty's mercy but received none. The corridor soon echoed with their deadly screams.

"Where are you Y/N? Maybe.....yes there is only one place you can go to!" Taehyung rushed towards the harem, each chamber were empty, he groaned in frustration but there was still last one to check. He went inside it was dark, "Shall I bring lamp, your majesty?" one of his men asked, "No need..."

"This small run-down that appears to have un used for sometime.....was Y/N loving in a place like this?.....There is no windows, even in the broad daylight the room appears to be dark as night."

"She is not here search another-" his words soon died, "Forget it. There is no need for that." he turned around to see the small figure curled up in the corner, sleeping. He went before picking her up in his arms. "Your majesty! I shall carry her instead!" said one of his men, "Shh! Can't you see she is asleep?"

The people on the way to started chattering. "Everyone leave the room and close the door." Taehyung ordered. He laid your small figure on the bed before unwrappimg your wounds. You woke up feeling sting pain. "Ugh! So bright!" you lazily opened your eyes to find someone sitting in front of you. "Who is it I can't see anything....it is too blurry!"

Your breath stuck once you realised the person who is sitting in front of you is no other than the second prince, "Your Highness?" you uttered in surprise. "I am the Ruler now...this will sting a little, so please bear with it." Taehyung replied before wiping off the wound.
