Ch-55
Namjoon voiced his concerns, his voice betraying a hint of worry. "I hope they're all alright," he stated, his words eliciting nods of agreement from the others. Yoongi, his expression solemn, responded reassuringly, "They're powerful and smart. I know they can make it back."
Despite his confidence, the worry etched on Namjoon's and Yoongi's faces betrayed their genuine concern for their siblings. "Still... I am worried," Namjoon admitted, echoing a feeling they all shared. Yoongi's added, "I hope Jimin, and the others have found Jin hyung, and that problem of the forest is also solved"
A panicked guard rushed into the room, panting and struggling to catch his breath. Diana swiftly stood up, concern etched on her face. "What's wrong?" she inquired hastily. "A man is trying to enter the palace" They exchanged glances, Yoongi firmly interrupted, "So tell him he's not allowed," his tone leaving no room for argument.
However, the guard's explanation was cut short when a sudden attack from behind took him by surprise. He fell lifelessly to the ground, leaving everyone shocked and on high alert, ready to face whatever foe had just entered.
The man entered the room, his blue hair framing a face with cold, red eyes. A sly smirk played upon his lips as he surveyed the gathering, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he spoke. "Oops... Sorry," he taunted, his gaze appraising all four of them.
"Oh, you all are smart," he continued, his smirk widening into a sinister grin. "You stayed behind while your family went into danger. Tch. Tch. Tch. So sad," he mocked, his words calculated to spark both fear and anger within them.
Namjoon's jaw clenched tightly, his irritation evident in his facial expression. Yoongi, ever vigilant, kept a protective hand in front of them, acknowledging the enemy's attempts to provoke them. "He's trying to provoke us," Yoongi muttered to Namjoon, his voice barely audible, cautioning him to remain composed and not fall into the enemy's trap.
"Oh provoke? Interesting" The man said, he sauntered around the room, taking an apple and nonchalantly sitting down, casually eating as if he owned the place. He then made himself comfortable with a sly smirk, he remarked, "Hm it's comfortable." His gaze drifting towards the throne. "I wonder how the throne feels like," he taunted, his smirk intensifying as he directed his attention towards them.
Diana stepped forward, positioning herself between the man and the throne. In a cold and firm voice, she spoke, "Don't you dare look at it." The man, unbothered by her words, responded with a mocking tone, "Oh my, I'm so scared." He appeared unfazed by her attempt to assert authority.
Yoongi's voice cut through the tension, his tone unwavering as he demanded, "What do you want?" The man paused mid-bite, his gaze slowly shifting to Yoongi. He took his time responding, making sure to prolong the suspense as he finished the bite before speaking.
The man pondered the question, taking his time, before finally replying, "Me?... I want..." He slowly looked around, building anticipation before delivering his sinister declaration. "Maybe... Your life," he spoke, his words punctuated by a cold chuckle that echoed through the room, sending chills down their spines.
Yoongi calmly approached the silver-haired man, his demeanor exuding confidence and bravado. A chuckle escaped his lips as he spoke, "Our life? You think you can take our life?" His question hung in the air, his unwavering tone challenging the man's audacity.
With a sense of superiority, the man stood up from his seat, his gaze locked onto them as he made his bold declaration. "Of course," he stated, his voice dripping with arrogance, "You are all insects under my foot." He took a step forward, clearly relishing the perceived power dynamics he believed he held over them.
