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

Sovereign's Flower

Time seemed to be frozen. The silence was like needles pricking on your skin.

"Queen? I do not deserve that title." you said, still bowing at him. Taehyung gently grabbed your chin before lifting your face up, making you look into his sadden eyes.

"Why do you say that?" he asked. "I do not come from a well-known family. I was offered to the former emperor just because my father was afraid of former majesty. I do not stand anywhere near your to-be Queen."

Your heart was unknowingly aching. As you continue to say your words. But Taehyung's heart felt as if it was taken out from his chest before tearing them apart.

"Is this the reason why you are asking me to let you go?" You gently turned your face away before answering, "This place....doesn't suit me, your majesty."

"Only if you have seen yourself with my eyes Y/n you shall never dare to speak so lowly about yourself." said Taehyung.

He sighed tugging your rough hair behind your ear. "Now what shall I do? It is only because of you that I become the emperor." Your ears refuse to believe what he said. He caressed your shocked parted lips, "What am I supposed to do if you leave?"

You frowned at him, the people standing in the room dare not to even breathe which might cause trouble for his majesty, as they can sense him getting furious by each passing second.

"Y-you are taking this joke too far your majesty." Taehyung learned before grabbing your arms and brushing his lips against your jaw, making you gulp in fear, "You must believe me even if everyone else does not. I became the emperor because you are the sovereign's flower."

His breath was fanning against your skin taking you back to the flashbacks of last night. "How can you say something so absurd, your majesty?" you said remembering your position in the palace. You are just another woman of harem.

Your voice was trembling. Taehyung pulled out smirking at you. He took a hold of himself before giving you his heart smile, "Take Rest you must have been tired. You are free to wander wherever you want in the palace as long as you do not go outside the palace walls. Ah- don't you enjoy going to the library? you are free to go there but on one condition, Nalssi will be accompanying you."

Taehyung left the chamber along with his guards. You were still not able to process what he said.

"His majesty has the most loving face like the son of Myrrah, Adonis. His face holds the entire universe's beauty but I do hold a place of Venus who will soon be replaced by Aphrodite, the goddess who was truly loved by Adonis."

Your heart sank deeper than the ocean as the thoughts were crossing your mind.

"You should try this.." Nalssi suggested you the gown. The one of the most fancy gowns you have ever seen. "N-no-" "My lady, all these things are for you. You Have already rejected ten gowns and refrain yourself from hesitating." you sighed as your eyes scanned the gold accessories and luxury gowns placed in front of you.

You finally chose the lavender one. Nalssi helped you take a bath and now she is helping you get dressed. The purple-blue art left by Taehyung revealed in front of her but she smiled it off as if everything around was meant to happen.
me?"

"I remember that young boy who walked into the palace with messy hair and red eyes. Those eyes were the evidence of grief from losing his mother. But that boy was strong enough to hide his emotions. When the nobles were longing for him to become the next emperor he was busy living his life among the wall of books. Until one day when I saw the same grief in his eyes and he went missing. But his darkness was soon replaced by the light he was holding in his bloody arms."
