Prince of RAVENTHORE |•KTH•|

9. The Heart hurts good

Y/N's steps were so rushed when she entered her chamber and shut the doors. Her fingers were slightly shivering, she could still hear her heart beating like drums in her ears.

The princess walks to the bed quickly, placing her sword over the sheets she sits close to the bedpost before suddenly hugging the bedpost. Her arms encircling around the wooden pole while the princess hides her face.

From whom was she even hiding that huge and wide smile dancing on her lips?

That wooden pole must be smiling too, only if it could hug her back. The curtain around the pole blows a little and covers the head of the princess. Y/N closes her eyes and only Prince Taehyung appears before her.

Suddenly the princess was feeling shy. Her legs dangle inches above the floor. Removing the curtain from her head, y/n peeks out.

Her eyes were lined red due to the crying yet her smiling lips were telling a different story.

Is the Prince really here? This isn't really a dream right? Slowly her smile vanished and Y/n's eyes looked lost, her cheeks looking rosy pink. Did she really welcome the Prince with a sword fight? How embarrassing is it? She should have asked his identity before directly putting her sword on his neck.

She literally challenged Prince Taehyung. And what did she say to him?

"Didn't the commander teach you how to use it?" The most embarrassing thing she could do. Couldn't she tie her tongue? If it's anything then all the commanders in the world would learn from Prince Kim Taehyung, not the opposite.

Y/N hastenly turns her head to the pole before hitting her forehead lightly to the wood. "Why just why?" A whin leaves Princess's lips. Y/N takes a deep breath, her head leaned on the wooden pole.

A sword fight with him. Y/N could only imagine it, or maybe not even in her imagination she ever imagined it. How fiercely yet calmly and effortlessly the Prince was attacking her, as if his sword was moving on its own.

And how Close he was to her when their swords were crossed in between their bodies.

So Close.

A heavy shiver ran down from her head to toe, her shoulder hunched up, cheeks going even redder. The princess hides her face again. At this point she was practically glued with the pole but anything which can make her heart calm down is better. Even if it's just wood.

"But his highness's eyes looked tired." Y/N mumble as Taehyung's dark eyes appear before her, so beautiful. Prince Taehyung has the most beautiful eyes in the world. So deep. How come someone's eyes can be this beautiful? The Princess fears if she ever looks into them again she'll lose herself in the depth of his dark orbs.

Y/N shakes her head. She's going off topic. Prince Taehyung's eyes looked tired, in fact if now she recalls his face, it wholly seemed tired as if He hasn't got proper sleep and rest.

"He must have traveled all night to reach here." Y/N moves away from the pole, her eyes wandering on the floor. Thinking about how tired Prince Taehyung must be, a strong urge to immediately take care of him pulls all the strings of her heart.

Her gaze softens. Y/N stood up from the bed and had just taken a step forward when she stopped. "But I...Can't go." What is she even thinking that she'll go to Prince Taehyung's chamber and will take care of him in person?

Of course to embarrass herself to the core again. Stupid. She is stupid. Y/N sits back. Her fingers fidgeting together.

She really wants to do something, something to take care of the Prince. He has just arrived in Ruwana, traveling all night, must have not slept, hadn't eaten anything too probably, and moreover she had a sword fight with the Prince. It must have tired him more.
