Reincarnation Of Lost Love (A Vsoo FF)

30

I try to open my eyes but my heavy eyelids protest. I feel sick and groggy. Though I can hear voices.

" Excuse me, she's my sister and I have full right to talk to her!" 

" She's my wife, Miss, I can't trust any of your house Arundel near my wife, she fainted in your father's study did she not?" 

" I want to have a private talk with my elder sister, King Hyuntae, is it so wrong?" 

" Are you questioning the verdict of the King Of Korea right now?" 

" Yes, I will, because I obviously can talk to my sister," 

Fighting with my urge to drop back and sleep, I get up slowly, inwardly groaning as my head racks. 

" Isla?  " I say? Forcing my burning eyes open.

Isla's small frame hugs me tightly, curling up on the bed next to me, and I plead silently to Hyuntae to leave, who looks disheveled and troubled.

" Try anything with my wife...." he warns Isla before stalking out of the room.

Isla doesn't waste any time and immediately starts crying, asking what happened yesterday, much to my desperation, I'm weak to anyone's tears.

" Are Nieje and Annerose still with Father? " I ask her, trying to stay calm now that memories of yesterday were coming flooding back.

" Yes, they are, and if you don't tell me what is going on, I'll......" she trails off, clutching my blanket and still sobbing.

I slowly started the story with my wedding day, when Father called me into his office and somehow coaxed me into his plan, I explained the plan detail by detail, faltering when I saw Isla's horrified face. My hate for my so-called Father increasing.

" This is horrible," she whispers. I nod wearily, " Listen Isla, I'm going to talk to Hyuntae's generals and set forward an offer to join an alliance with Arundel," I tell her. She nods her head vigorously, " Okay, what do you need me to do?" she asks me.

" I need your help finding a safe place to evacuate selected people," I tell her." Do really want to backstab your husband?" she asked. I shook my head. " Nieje and Annerose, or possibly even more people's lives are at stake. Can people's lives be so easily thrown away for a kingdom?" I say, not revealing how this is killing me inside. That's it, I am going to talk with his generals right now, I grab a black riding cloak from the back of my closet and draw it over me, I walk over to the window and asses the fatality if I drop from here. Deciding the heavy cloak can cushion me enough if I fall.

" Are you sure about doing this? " Isla asked me sadly, " I mean...you'll die," she adds. I sighed deeply. " You won't even know I've died okay? Have a happy life with Prince Jeon, save Nieje and Annerose, possibly maybe the other prisoners Father will keep, and make sure Arundel thrives," I bring my two fingers up to my lips and bow my head, an Arundel tribute, before jumping down into the orchard.

Damn, that was a high fall, but thankfully the cloak was heavy and thick enough not to hurt me seriously, just a few bruises and a little jamming in my shoulders and leg. I needed to find the location of the generals first. I look around to see Jumi holding a flower basket, she was about to scream for the guards when I hurriedly lifted my hood to reveal my face. " It's me," I hiss at her, she lifts her hand to her heart, apparently trying to calm her shock.

" You startled me a lot, Your Majesty," she says, " Are you alright?" she asked " I'm fine," I assure her. I get up and walk towards her, " Jumi, I need you to tell me where the general barracks are," I say, she looks surprised but points towards the counseling house a long way away, that Hyuntae uses to meet Generals, besides the house, I can see the general barracks, if any hope of meeting the respected generals, it is over there.

Ignoring Jumi, I run swiftly towards the barracks, reminding me of how I ran on my wedding day with Prince Jeon, I smile sadly at the thought. I ignore the look of the servants, some shouting at me. For them, I wasn't the Queen, I was a cloaked weirdo running at top speed. But I had a duty to fulfill, I kept telling myself repeatedly, ignoring all the shouts from the workers around me. I reach the barracks at once and I can hear shouting inside, I pull open the door quietly and sneak inside. The generals were huddled in one room, Hyuntae must still be waiting outside my bedroom, thinking I was talking with Isla.I take off my cloak and see the surprised looks of the Generals as they bow, not beating around the bush, I start babbling.

" I have an offer for you, respected Generals of King Hyuntae," I stop to see their reactions, deciding it is now or never, I continue." Arundel offers you the highest privileges and ranks, whatever you wish for in fact," I say, a hush falls over the room, and the bloodthirsty general Hyungmin breaks the silence, " You have some conditions don't you eh pretty face?" I nod," In exchange, help us form a rebellion against King Hyuntae,"Some gasp, some nod, some hiss. The offer is tempting, I know." We'll only agree to your terms if you promise us that our selected people won't get hurt in the rebellion" one General, Minhyuk, yells." We'd like the liberty to have our own way," one man speaks next, his voice deep and raspy. I nod again.

The others don't look too sure, some are regarding me with dark looks. " We promise you, the rest of your life shall be spent in the luxury of high ranks, even duchy appointments,"This seems to stir their interest. Knowing I have had the effect needed, " I will leave the plans of rebellion to you, King Of Arundel shall start the attack soon today itself, your rebellion should rise at the same time," I say and stalk out of the stuffy barracks, bracing myself for a visit to Father.

I knock on his lodging, he opens the door, his cold eyes which I thought held so much warmth for me stared at me, " You've convinced them then?" he says.It takes all of my strength not to attack him immediately. ' I hate you so much,' I want to say, but I just nod.After all, my words won't matter after I'm in a coffin.
